Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 188
It looked great!Julian's cool and composed vibe was accurately portrayed upon donning the shirt. It didn't look as neat as ordinary suits. Although Julian was aware the design would be decent, he was still momentarily amazed.Kayla noticed his awed response. She instantly knew that Julian was far more impressed with Diana's design.Did that mean she would lose the contest?But… This shouldn't have happened!Albert told her that she would definitely win.Kayla couldn't resist throwing glances at Albert. Unfortunately, Albert was busy tending to Madam Fulcher and couldn't be bothered to look her way. Helpless, Kayla could only sigh and look away.Julian noticed Kayla’s actions, but took it all in without saying anything.His affection toward Kayla diminished yet again.What was she looking for?Did she know about the pin?Did Kayla ask Albert to put it there?Did Kayla think Diana wouldn't find it, and that Diana would embarrass herself when Julian tried the outfit on?Thes
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 189
At the end of the day, Diana had to disappear from the world that belonged to the Fulcher family.Would Madam Fulcher be able to forgive her after finding out the truth then?Diana didn't have the courage to ponder about the cruel future. She also didn't want to think about saying goodbye to Madam Fulcher. She only wished to spend more time with Grandma while she still could.Madam Fulcher had gone through so much in her lifetime. She could immediately tell that Diana genuinely cared about her.As such, her heart truly went out to Diana. When she saw Kayla sitting with them for a meal, she couldn't take it anymore. "Julian, let's talk in the study."Julian cut to the chase as soon as they entered the study. "Grandma, I know what you're going to say.""You've always been a smart man, but why are you so foolish when it comes to women?" Madam Fulcher sighed in a disappointed manner."Tell me. You're a married man! How are you going to deal with Kayla? Do you plan to keep both of th

Albert went to Kayla and told her everything Julian and Madam Fulcher talked about.To begin with, Kayla had no idea what was on Julian's mind. Although she had been staying here for the past two days, she felt like she wasn't particularly welcome. During the contest today, Julian didn't even side with her. On the contrary, it seemed like he was trying to teach her a lesson. After hearing about his conversation with Grandma, she grew even more unsettled."Got it, Albert." Kayla seemed a little pale in the face. She still had the appearance of a naive and harmless young lady."Thanks for finding out all this for me," she added."Don't thank me." Albert felt awfully guilty. "I left the pin in the outfit, but I'm not sure why it didn't work… You lost because of that."After saying that, he wanted to return the gift Kayla had given him before.Kayla shook her head and refused to accept it. "I don't blame you, but… If you really feel bad about it, you can help me again in the future."

Diana told Nina not to worry. "I'm still in the early stages of pregnancy. Besides, I've been taking progesterone tablets. Don't worry. The baby will grow just fine. I'll be alright going to the hospital on my own."Nina was relieved to hear this. "Great! Don't worry about the medical records. Vans will sort them out for you.""Okay. As long as Julian doesn't find out I'm still pregnant, it's all good," Diana said.With Vans around, Nina didn't have to worry about what went on in the hospital. "When exactly are you two getting a divorce? What if it still doesn't happen when your pregnancy is visible?"Would Diana have to go through the nightmare of getting an abortion again?Diana was certain Julian was definitely capable of doing it."That won't happen." Diana wanted to talk about this problem too. "Although I have a decent appetite these days, and I checked that I might start eating more over time as a pregnant woman, I'm relatively small in size. I'm also quite lean. I can buy
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 192
However, Julian never said that he intended to make her life easier.At the end of the day, it probably had something to do with Oliver.He was definitely worried that she would bring shame to the Fulcher family before the divorce was finalized.Diana was so done with his attitude.Julian and Kayla were spending nearly every day together. Didn't that bring shame to the Fulcher family? All Diana did was speak about Oliver, and yet, she had come under surveillance!What a b*stard!Did he distrust her that much?Diana was furious. She sent Julian an emoji of a dog's head being hammered.She then blocked him, just like how she did the last time.Noel saw Julian smiling, but he didn't say anything and quickly wiped his sweat away. "Sir, if you're pleased with this plan, I'll get someone to carry it out."The program had been delayed for a very long time.It was hard to get Julian's approval for such things.Julian looked at the message from Diana while he signed the document. He

Thankfully, Diana was still Mrs. Fulcher. The driver didn't make things hard for her. "In that case, I'll leave after you get a taxi."It was important to ensure Diana's safety.Once Diana entered another car, the driver secretly took a photo of the car's registration number as a safety precaution. He then informed Julian that Diana had discovered his identity."Did she say where she was going?" Julian asked."No." The driver shook his head. "She refused to let me follow her."Julian acknowledged the reply. As soon as he hung up, he began imagining Diana and Oliver together.They hadn't gotten a divorce yet. Shouldn't Diana be more discreet?The more Julian thought about it, the worse he felt. He decided to call Vans. "Did Diana go to the hospital?"Vans felt his heart thumping at the question. He thought Julian found out Diana was coming for a pregnancy checkup, so he racked his brains on how to respond."Pay attention to Oliver. If you find out the two of them met, let me kn

Julian drove even faster after the thought crossed his mind.Meanwhile, Diana had just left the ultrasound room. She came a little late today, and the doctors were just about to go on a break. Hence, she would have to wait until the afternoon shift for the results.Nina was extremely eager. Although she didn't come with Diana, she kept asking Diana how it went.Diana was a little lost. "I have no idea. I'll only get the results after lunch. However, the doctor kept congratulating me. I guess it should be fine."Nina felt relieved. "That's good, that's good.""Do you want me to get Vans to probe around?" Nina asked."No, it's fine. Vans is already swamped. I'll only need his help to destroy the evidence after the results are out," Diana said.Diana was keeping a close eye on the people around her to make sure nobody she knew was there.Just then…She bumped into Oliver in the cafeteria.He was probably there for lunch as well, and smiled when he saw Diana. After that, he order
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 195
However, Fanny…Diana recalled their unfriendly encounter the last time. She sensed that Fanny wasn't an easy person to get along with.In contrast, Oliver made Fanny sound like a delicate, pretty, and opinionated woman.Perhaps they didn't get to spend too much time together the last time. Diana thought for a moment. She didn't agree to the offer immediately but didn't turn it down either. "I'll be occupied for the next few days. Once I'm free, I'll contact Miss Smith to discuss the collaboration in detail.""Okay." Oliver nodded. "Do you still have her phone number?""Yes," Diana replied.The two of them chatted while they ate. Soon, it was time to get back to work. "Do you need help with anything?" Oliver checked the time. "It'll be hard to step away once I return to the clinic."Diana thought for a moment. "I don't think so, but…" Diana chuckled. "Vans told me you had a great education and extensive practical experience. Also, you come from a well-off family. So, why did you

“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

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
