Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 203
If she could have his baby, that would be even better.
“Kayla…” Julian began.
Kayla placed her finger over his lips. “Julian, I know you treasure me and my reputation, but now… Who else in
Richburgh doesn’t know that I’m yours?”
They were even living under one roof, for crying out loud!
What’s more, with James’s deliberate spreading of the news, their relationship had become household knowledge.
“Though I do want to give you my virginity on our wedding night…” She lowered her head shyly, and Julian wasn’t
able to see her face. When she looked up once again, she said with a pleading gaze, “I just…feel very upset having
been misunderstood by Diana, and just want you to be by my side today.”
Julian didn’t reject her.
“I’ll stay by your bedside,” His eyes were crystal clear, and he looked almost untouchable with the moonlight shining
from behind him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKayla was mesmerized at the sight of him, and gaped at him speechlessly.
Julian did exactly as he said he would and stayed by her bedside to accompany her.
However, the sight of him keeping his distance made her heart sink.
He kept his promise and stayed by her bedside through the night. They didn’t even hold hands, and his legs went all
numb when they woke up in the morning.
Kayla heard him getting up and quickly held him steady. “Be careful.”
She seized the chance to grab his hand.
This time round, he didn’t reject her and didn’t push her away firmly.
Lucy was right. They had to spend time together in order for their relationship to progress.
Kayla wanted Diana to see how intimate they were, so she suggested to Julian, “There aren’t enough toiletries in
the guest room. Shall we head downstairs to wash up?”
“Okay,” Julian replied mildly. “Remember to ask Mr. Carter to replenish one more set of toiletries in this
room.”
Kayla’s heart thumped as her face flushed. “I’ll do that.”
The two of them walked hand in hand out of the room, with sleep still in their eyes. It was difficult for Diana, who
was about to head out to meet Fanny Smith, to miss seeing them.
Last night, they…
There was a tinge of disappointment in Diana’s eyes at the sight of them holding hands together, but she quickly
concealed it.
She knew that sooner or later, she would have to personally witness how loving they were to each other.
Yet, despite having mentally prepared herself, seeing the two of them walk out of the same room made her feel like
someone had pierced her heart. It hurt so much that even her limbs felt numb.
“Diana…” Naturally, Kayla noticed Diana very early on.
The thought of how proud and haughty Diana had been over the past few days made Kayla immensely glad to see
her face right now.
But the moment she called Diana’s name, she released Julian’s hand quickly, as if she was a thief caught red-
handed.
Julian, on the other hand, held onto her hand tight.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe didn’t seem to mind showing off to Diana at all.
Diana looked down as her limbs felt even more numb. She couldn’t tell if it was pain she was feeling, but she knew
that she felt wrong all over. “Good morning.”
She tried her best to hide her inner turmoil. She didn’t want to look so lowly and pitiful.
She didn’t need anyone’s pity.
She only needed to become stronger, and more so with each passing day.
Julian nodded and looked at her with probing eyes.
It was hard to tell if she was happy or not.
Either way, Kayla was clearly happy.
She held onto Julian’s hand tightly, wishing that she could swing it right under Diana’s nose. “Diana, you’re all
dressed up today. Are you heading out?”
Diana nodded. “Yeah, I am.”
“Don’t forget to have some breakfast,” Her eyes were fixed on Diana’s belly, like a venomous snake eyeing a prey.
“But Julian and I need to wash up first. You’ll have to eat breakfast by yourself.”
Diana felt uncomfortable under Kayla’s stare, and felt even more thankful she didn’t drink the milk Kayla brought
her. She shook her head and said, “No need for that.”
