It wasn't perfume. It was a fragrant moisturizing cream.However, she didn't want to explain too much to Julian."Yeah."Julian didn't say anything about it. However, there was a vague glimmer in his eyes. "Who gave it to you?"Kayla was stunned. She didn't expect Julian to be this observant.He actually could tell that she didn't buy it herself.However, she didn't want to expose her relationship with Lucy. Thus, she lied about who she got it from. "Actually, I bought it myself.""Okay." Julian nodded. He couldn't help but move a little further away from her.The driver suddenly made an emergency brake. Julian had yet to stabilize himself in a new position when he was suddenly flung against Kayla.The two of them had never been this close before.It seemed like an intimate moment.Kayla wasn't expecting the fragrant moisturizing cream to work so quickly. Julian actually threw himself against her! Feeling more assured about the mysterious effects of this moisturizing cream,
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 249
Kayla’s eyes snapped wide open. She glanced at Julian in disbelief.He… He actually told her to take a shower.Was Lucy's fragrant moisturizing cream so effective?Was a single sniff enough to drive Julian crazy?Kayla wasn't expecting the cream to work so well.However, now wasn't the time to overthink. She was far too excited.In fact, she felt that she might actually be able to use this opportunity to sleep with Julian without him realizing her tricks… After that, she would be pregnant with his child.Once that happened, Diana's pregnancy would no longer be a threat to her.After all, Kayla and Julian would have their own child. Why would he still care about Diana's children?He would definitely treat Diana harshly, just like he did back in the factory.As a plus, Kayla wouldn't have to worry about the consequences of doing whatever she wanted to Diana.The more Kayla thought about this, the more delighted she was. After taking a shower, she looked at the mysterious fragr

After Kayla returned to the country, Julian kept discovering things about her that constantly bewildered him.Specifically, her attitude seemed to have changed a lot from what he could recall.Kayla didn't see the contempt in his eyes, but she already knew she had said the wrong thing. Upon realizing this, she wanted to bite her own tongue off.She no longer dared to urge him to go to her bedroom with her.Instead, she looked at him and slowly sat down on the couch.Meanwhile, Diana's stomach hurt even more after Kayla got close.Diana’s frown intensified. Suddenly, she sneezed violently. "Ah-choo!""Ah-choo!"Diana couldn't control it. She kept sneezing on and on.However, whenever she sneezed, her stomach would hurt even more.She began to curl up in pain. In fact, she clearly noticed Julian looking at her, but she still continued curling up.Her stomach was hurting too much.She didn't dare to curl up too much, but there was no other way she could relax her body.On t

'What am I going to do?'While she contemplated, they arrived at the hospital. It was too late for her to jump out of the car now."Let's get out." Julian saw Diana holding tightly to the handle in the backseat. She was looking at him with a terrified expression on her face. Even her lips had turned pale.Julian very quickly understood what was on her mind.Immediately, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.The previous incident…Diana was deeply traumatized by what he had done.It was to the extent that she didn't even dare tell him she was pregnant with his children.Now, Julian began to understand why Diana would cooperate with Vans to lie to him.However, the most important thing right now was to get Diana out of the car and into the hospital for a checkup.After all, he had seen her suffering from a terrible stomachache at home.That's why he brought her here.However, he couldn't be upfront about it. She wouldn't believe he was genuinely concerned about her even if he to

Diana looked at Julian, frightened. He was also standing still. He seemed to be zoning out, and there was a blank expression on his face."Why haven't you come inside?" Just as Diana was about to speak, Oliver approached them. "Vans is operating a surgery. I'll arrange the checkup for you."Julian followed him. Diana needed someone trustworthy to make the arrangement for her.Diana nodded in agreement, but she couldn't help but feel nervous again. She was afraid Julian would hold a grudge and start mocking Oliver again.However, Julian's attitude was strangely amicable this time around. In fact, he even had a vague smile when he spoke to Oliver. "Vans already told me. Thanks for the hard work."Diana wasn't the only one who was surprised. Even Oliver was taken aback by Julian's show of friendliness. "It's fine."Oliver was still such a sweet gentleman, and he was wonderfully polite as always.It was as if he and Julian had never been in a fight.The two of them nodded at each o
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 253
It was good enough that Julian could answer her questions in such a positive way.After all, the two of them hadn't spoken to each other so peacefully for a long time."It's done." Oliver broke the long silence.After making sure Julian didn't come inside, Oliver handed Diana the checkup results. He then mouthed the words 'don't worry' to her.Only then did he speak to Diana in a normal tone. He didn't intentionally keep Julian out of the conversation. "The registration for the gynecology department is done. Would you like to go there for a checkup now?""You guys can go ahead." This time, Julian didn't insist on following them.Diana instantly sighed in relief when she heard this. She looked at the tall silhouette behind the curtain.For some unknown reason, she thought Julian was behaving in an oddly gentle manner today.It was a kind of gentleness that she couldn't quite describe and had never experienced before. There was a sense of understanding that he intentionally tried

Instead, there was a combination of a wheeze and a thump. It sounded like the strong howling wind during winter. It was full of life. It also reminded Diana of the kind of booming sound one would hear while diving underwater. She felt an indescribable sense of shock.Tears instantly filled her eyes.She was deeply touched by the existence of her babies."They're developing well. You don't have to worry at all," the doctor explained kindly.Diana was still immersed in the moment of listening to her babies' heartbeats. She appeared a little stiffer than usual. After taking a moment to recollect herself, she started speaking. "But why did my stomach hurt so badly today…?""It might be because the babies are growing and pressing against your stomach. It's normal when you have twins, and it's tougher than usual. You might've walked too much. You need to be more careful and rest more during the first three months of your pregnancy," the doctor said patiently.Diana nodded. "I'm so glad
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 255
When Diana heard the heavy footsteps behind her, insecurity washed over her. She felt a rising pressure crushing her very bones.This man…He seemed to be much more concerned with her health than she was.However, his presence was much too strong, and she was hiding something from him. She would feel a little guilty whenever he looked at her. "I'll go with Oliver. You can wait outside."She didn't want Julian to come along, but Julian wouldn't give in so easily."This involves Kayla. I want to come with you."Only then did Diana realize he was concerned because the scent they carried came from Kayla.Diana realized she was overthinking again.She recalled his warm hand, and the mysterious yet forceful heartbeats she heard in the ultrasound room. She felt a pang of disappointment once more.However, she didn't let it show."Alright." Diana could already behave completely indifferent whenever Kayla and Julian were involved.A brief dimness appeared in Julian's eyes.However,

“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?”
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1548
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’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1546
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
