Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 128
Diana gradually became teary-eyed.She was a fool.Ever after being hurt so many times, she still cried over Julian's cold and merciless attitude.This made Diana feel even more certain that, despite how Julian was looking at her photos in the surveillance footage L's store manager sent her, he couldn't possibly have been thinking about her at the time.The moments he secretly took pictures of her during various times of the day, he was always missing another woman.It was ironic.At this moment, Diana finally felt how painful it was to be Kayla's substitute.It was close to nine o'clock. The agreed time for their divorce was fast approaching.Diana didn't want to cry too much. All she could do was wipe her tears away while she cried. Afraid that Julian might notice her crying, she quickly fixed her makeup. However, she still couldn't conceal the fact that she had cried.However, after Diana waited for thirty minutes, Julian was still nowhere to be found.It was going to be n

"Diana Winnington!" Julian yelled through gritted teeth, furious. "Who does the child belong to?"Julian was trying his best to restrain himself. He pressed his hands by her side and locked her in place. There was a murderous look in his eyes."We've always used contraception. Could this child…belong to Oliver?"In the past, Julian had never accused her wrongly.Was she in such a hurry to get divorced because she had already found her next home?!Diana's head was buzzing. She still couldn't quite process what was happening. "Child? What child?"Julian couldn't possibly have found out about her pregnancy."You're still pretending!" He showed Diana the tablet. "Grandma sent me this pregnancy test result. It can't be a mistake!"Julian noticed that Diana's diet had changed recently. He realized the same thing happened during dinner last night.Madam Fulcher kept stressing how Diana needed to look after her body.It was all because of this pregnancy test result!By then, Diana's

"Ms. Winnington!" The employee had a tone that suggested he felt Diana could've done better. "What else can I say? How could you admit that you cheated on your husband in public? There's going to be hell to pay!"Diana was shocked by what she heard.She immediately realized how wrong and ridiculous her behavior had been. Getting a divorce was the least of her concern right now. Julian definitely went to see Oliver!In that case, she needed to make her way to City Hospital as soon as possible.At the same time, with trembling hands, she dialed Oliver's number to warn him.However, it was too late. Julian was much too fast. He rushed all the way to the hospital from the City Hall. When he barged into the emergency unit, Oliver hadn't even realized what was happening.Thump!"B*stard! Who do you think you are?" Julian punched Oliver straight in the face. He then dragged Oliver to a corner, visibly furious. "When did you start seeing Diana?"Damn it!When did it all start?On his

Diana created this mess, so she had to deal with it herself.Julian laughed, as if he heard the funniest joke ever. "Will you do anything?""Yes," Diana replied.She really did adore this man!"Are you aware you're my wife?" Julian asked.The divorce wasn't complete yet. Naturally, Diana was still his wife.Diana nodded again."Great." He suddenly picked Diana up and moved his lips close to her earlobes. His voice sounded like a demon from hell. "In that case, do what a wife ought to do. Get rid of the baby you had with another man!"Diana was dumbfounded.She didn't want to get Oliver into trouble, so she said she would agree to anything.She didn't expect Julian would want to hurt the baby, even when he thought it wasn't his!This was her stomach!Why did he get to decide?She looked into his eyes with great determination. "I…"Before she could even finish her sentence, Julian seemed to have predicted what she'd say. He gave Oliver a provocative look before suddenly low
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 132
This was for the better. At the very least, Diana could see Oliver for who he really was. Julian wanted her to realize that not every guy from a rich family had the guts to steal his woman from him.The wound on his back was still secretly aching. Julian looked at the empty corridor before turning to face Diana. Her eyes were red, and she was still doing everything she could to break free from him. Julian couldn't identify her emotions from the look in her eyes. He spoke in a calm tone. "Don't be afraid. I'll go into the operating room with you."He wanted to personally witness Diana and Oliver's baby being removed.That was the only way he could resist the urge to kill someone.It was also the only thing that would stop him from wanting Diana and himself to be joined at the hips!Meanwhile, Diana was already close to feeling hopeless at this point.She placed her trembling hands on his stomach. The thought of soon losing her baby devastated her, and she instantly started bawling
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 133
Julian felt that his life seemed to revolve around the hospital this year, so much so that he didn't even feel anxious when he received a call from Madam Fulcher's house. "Did Grandma faint after finding out that I brought Diana to the hospital for an abortion?" he asked the maid who called him."Yes, sir.""Are they bringing her to City Hospital right now?" he asked."That's right, sir.""Alright. Got it." Julian hung up. He didn't sound worried. In fact, he appeared somewhat indifferent.He was used to his grandmother’s unreasonable tactics. He was used to how she would always threaten him with her physical health.It was probably the same thing again this time.However, he wasn't going to give her another chance to take Diana away from him.The surgery was already done by now.Although Vans brought the thing out and walked in his direction, he didn't even look at it. Instead, he walked up to Diana with a sense of urgency that he didn't even pick up on. "Is she alright?""T

Madam Fulcher's ward was at the top floor in the VIP section, and Diana's ward was right next to hers.Julian had to convince himself not to enter Diana's ward, but the moment he entered Madam Fulcher's ward, he saw Diana.She looked so small.She was holding Madam Fulcher's hand while she sat next to the old woman.Diana seemed very fragile. Julian had never seen her in such a vulnerable state.When Diana heard footsteps, she looked up and saw him. She didn't seem very emotional. All she did was gently pat Madam Fulcher's hand before walking out of the ward.Julian didn't go after her. Instead, he walked over to his grandmother.He was beginning to feel worried. This time, it didn't look like Madam Fulcher was acting. She really did seem unwell, because her blood pressure did seem very high on the monitor.The closer he approached her, the higher her blood pressure would get, and the more emotional she seemed.In fact, she couldn't even utter a single word. All she did was po

"Julian!" Grandma's face turned pale. Her eyes rolled back, and she passed out yet again.At the same time, the monitor's alarm began to ring.Julian stood frozen in place. It felt like he had gone back in time to when he was still a child, when his parents and grandfather left him one after the other.Although Madam Fulcher was getting old, he never once considered the fact that she might leave him.He was encapsulated by the fear of losing someone important. "Doctor! Doctor! Get the doctor!" He shouted without even realizing he was shouting.There was a moment of panic."Don't make her upset." None of the doctors in the hospital dared to give Julian a direct order. Vans was called over by the director, and he spoke to Julian after receiving suggestions from his other colleagues who were specialists. "Her physical condition isn't as good as it was in the past. You have to do your best to agree with her. If her blood pressure level gets too high, I can't guarantee that we'll be a

“Life is all about reconciliation.” Decades passed in the blink of an eye. Diana’s children had all grown up.Kate and Isaac had both passed away. Even Diana’s old friends, Fanny and Oliver, had left the world too.Fanny was never able to get pregnant again after that rainy night. She had gradually let go of her desire to get pregnant under Oliver’s persuasion.They stayed relentlessly by each other’s side, albeit childless. Over the years, having experienced all that life had to offer and being each other’s best friend, Oliver died on a peaceful night, never awaking again.Fanny held his hand while sending him off, and closed her eyes forever as well.Diana had seen too many people off in her lifetime.She had grown old herself, too. She could see her life slowly ebbing away.“Julian, I’m so happy to have lived my life with you.” She had transformed from a disgraced young woman to Mrs. Fulcher, respected by all in Richburgh. Julian even took care of her in person when she

He blurted those words instinctively.He had been waiting so long for a pair of daughters, yet when the doctor came over, he saw a pair of sons instead.Diana thought the hospital must have made a mistake and kicked up a fuss, insisting that she had a pair of daughters. She insisted for them to check the footage from the surveillance camera to see if there was a mix-up. The culprit, Julian, could only stand guiltily at a corner and mumble, “Actually…sons are fine too.”As long as it was their children, it didn’t matter whether they were girls or boys. Either way, Diana was the only woman he loved his entire life. Even his love for his only daughter Betty didn’t match up to that.After witnessing Diana giving birth, Julian’s love for Diana went up a notch, to the point of paranoia.For the rest of their lives, he made sure to never let her worry or touch cold water.He took great care of her.Kate finally appeared two years after Diana gave birth.When the mother and daughter

Nina mentioned the Jenningses. “The Jennings family is gone overnight, just like that.”Diana wasn’t shocked.She guessed that Julian had wanted to do that for a while. Not just for her and to seek justice for the Lemmington family, but also for Simon.Although Julian never allowed Simon to call him his brother, he had wanted to annihilate everything that was involved with the Hughes family since Simon’s death.Him making his move on the Jenningses indicated that the time had come.“Congratulations,” Diana said to Nina. “Has Vans come back to you?”“No,” Nina said with a shake of her head. “Lina Jennings isn’t the only thing standing in between us. We have problems of our own to overcome.”Diana sighed. “I think Marcus is pretty good.”She felt relaxed and comfortable around him.Even if Vans came round and worked with Julian to bring down the Jenningses, and had no feelings whatsoever for Lina, Diana wasn’t exactly eager to be with him.As if they had telepathy with each oth

“He doesn’t need to be jailed,” Fanny said, confused. “One word from him, and his lawyers will be able to exonerate him. I just don’t understand why he’d rather go to jail.”“He wants to pay for his father’s sins,” Diana said with a sigh.Fanny didn’t know what to think of that. Was Oliver innocent, or not? He even went to such great lengths to stop her.Yet, the moment she declared that she would never compromise and would rather be under the protection of Diana than to be involved with Oliver, he clearly looked like he was in a daze.Diana noticed that Fanny hardly smiled over the past few days, and rubbed her hand comfortingly. “He just wants a clean start with you.”Fanny’s heart shook. She couldn’t sleep the entire night.The next morning, she told Diana, “Today’s the day of his trial and sentencing. I want to see him.”Diana asked Julian to send a few bodyguards with Fanny on her trip there.When she returned, she looked as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoul
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1549
Fanny bet that he wouldn’t dare.That was equivalent to eliminating all chances he stood with Diana.Julian witnessed the scene unfolding before him. Instead of getting frustrated, he stood quietly there, ready to protect Diana, as he watched Fanny and Oliver fight it out with each other.Oliver was confused. “Why not?”He glanced at Diana, and went on, “I did like Diana in the past, but I have since given up on those feelings for her. Fanny Smith, is your heart made of stone? Can’t you tell who the woman I like is after all this time?”Fanny was stunned, feeling suffocated as if something was stuck in her throat. “Don’t tell me it’s me.”Oliver was dumbfounded. Who else could he be talking about? The stars in the sky?Fanny felt indignant under his glare. “If you like me, why did you say that I’m just a child-bearing tool for you?”“If I didn’t say that, would I be able to keep you confined in the villa? Would I be able to dash all your hopes and make you feel hopeless?”

Oliver would never let her go. “Fanny Smith, don’t even think about leaving me in this life!”That was when Diana and Julian hurriedly made their way.Sean located Oliver very accurately. Diana saw the scene unfolding before her, and couldn’t help but recall everything that happened in Jacroaof. She hurriedly told Noel to take Sean outside and wait. She couldn’t afford to gamble on Sean’s safety. She didn’t want Sean exposed to any form of danger right under her nose.Her actions made Oliver tense. “Diana, do you think I’ve gone mad?” He grabbed Fanny’s hand, as if he was holding onto the most precious treasure in the world.Diana didn’t answer him, but she threw her bag that Julian was helping her carry toward Fanny.She was exerting so much force for a pregnant lady, looking as if she wanted to fight with Fanny.Even Julian didn’t know what Diana was trying to do, not to mention Fanny herself.By the time he snapped back to attention and wanted to stop Diana from doing s

However, Fanny must let go of her hatred and past grudges first.The mention of children made Fanny waver. The hatred in her eyes grew even more intense. “Oliver Channing! The cheek of you to mention children!” What gave him the right to say that?!“We agreed,” Oliver said. He didn’t find anything wrong with that. “Fanny, if you want to leave that villa and be free once more, you must give birth to a child of ours.”“What about the child I lost just a few days ago?” Fanny demanded. She found him unreasonable. “Over the past few days, have you ever thought of him, or felt like you let him down? We haven’t even resolved the issues between us, and you want me to get pregnant again. Are you really ready to be a father?!”“I want you to get pregnant again?” Oliver said as he drew closer to her. His eyes were dark, looking as if he wanted to crush Fanny and put her in his pocket. “Weren’t you the one who tried to seduce me by wearing a revealing dress in my house? Fanny Smith, do

Julian stopped talking to the butler, but he was already making plans in his heart.He returned to the study, and told Diana, “Fanny and Oliver have been fighting for a long time, and it might be over something that might potentially destroy their relationship.”In fact… “Fanny might no longer love Oliver right now.”However, the fact that Oliver faked her death and confined her was enough to show that he still cared for her.If he realized that Fanny no longer loved him, he might do something even crazier.“Let’s hurry up and save her, then!” Diana said.“Wait,” Julian said calmly, “I’m not done with my prediction.”“What?”“Oliver really doesn’t like you now.” Julian’s mood lifted as he arrived at his final conclusion. “We can step in to help Fanny.”Diana was dumbfounded.She had thought that Julian went to such great lengths to analyze the situation for the sake of saving another. To think that his possessiveness took over, and he prioritized figuring out Oliver’s feeli

The three of them entered the study.None of them expected to see a portrait of Diana right in the middle of the study.The portrait was most likely drawn by copying a photo. In the portrait, Diana was eating something with a smile. It looked like the day when Diana encountered a pervert on the train and Oliver stepped in to help her and treated her to a meal.Did she smile so tenderly at him at that time?“You couldn’t have smiled so happily at that time when we were fighting over Kayla.”It was a portrait, not a photo. It was likely that the owner of this portrait added his own interpretation and features when he commissioned this portrait.“He still has feelings for you,” Julian said coldly.He no longer wanted to interfere with the affairs of the Channings.However, Diana disagreed. “If he really had feelings for me, he wouldn’t hang my portrait up so boldly right here.”The fact that Oliver could display the portrait for all to see proved that his feelings for Diana were
