Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 116

Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 116

When Diana first learned she was simply a substitute for Kayla, the first person she directed her anger at was

Nina.

Later on, however…

Diana sighed. “I know you had good intentions. You were always doing things for my sake.”

Had Diana been in Nina’s shoes, she would have done the same and prioritized her friend’s health rather than rashly told her the truth. Besides, Nina had been so anxious about it to the point of passing out from sheer agitation.

If they were talking about apologies, Diana should be giving one to Nina; in the end, she was the one who was always worrying and burdening Nina.

It was a good thing they were friends; best friends, in fact!

Diana smiled. “Don’t worry about it anymore, Nina. I’ll be relying on you to help me raise my baby in the future, you know?”

She was filled with confidence and continued, “Once I sort out the money with James tomorrow, you’ll have to accompany me to the hospital for my check–up.”

Having gone through the incident in the abandoned plant last week, there was no harm in going for a check- up and making sure that nothing was wrong.

“Sure!” Nina nodded. “But in case you can’t get the money, then your marriage with Julian…”

“It won’t go on for long,” Diana interrupted. “I just don’t want to owe him anything after the divorce, which is why I insisted on paying him back.”

“What about the baby?” Nina asked. “Will you really not tell him?”

“If he found out… It’ll be difficult to keep my baby safe,” Diana confessed honestly. “I don’t hold out any hope for him anymore, so I still need to keep my pregnancy under wraps.”

Nina nodded in understanding. “What’s your plan after the divorce?”

That was a question that brought her back to reality. After Diana divorced, she couldn’t stay and be provided for by the Fulcher family anymore. She would need to earn money for her daily expenses, and later the costs

of raising a child, and so on…

Sometimes, he even…

When he saw Kayla crying in the bedroom, Diana’s aggrieved look would sometimes float into his mind.

The room was clearly free of Diana’s influence or traces, but he could feel her everywhere.

Was it because of the earrings that his trust in Kayla was broken?

He must be out of his mind!

Julian looked at the text he had just sent his grandmother, and felt a pang of annoyance in his heart. Why would he ask the older woman how Diana was doing right now?!

When Mr. Carter saw his distracted look, he couldn’t help but ask, “Sir, do you want to investigate the poisoning thoroughly? What Madam Diana said at the hospital was not without reason. I’m sure we can start from the wine glass…”

“No need for that,” Julian said, cutting the older man off as he switched off his phone absentmindedly. “I believe Kayla.”
