Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 340
"Light Food..." Julian repeated as he finished the soup. "That's a good name.""I'll bring you here again next time if you like it," Diana said."No," Julian said, looking up at her. "I want to drink the one you make."Just as Diana was about to agree, Julian continued, "But not now. Wait till you give birth and after your confinement period. You just need to focus on your health first."He wouldn't be willing to let her tough those pots and pans before that. Even if it was just soup and there were servants to help her, he didn't want Diana to be unnecessarily tired."I didn't know I was that delicate," Diana teased, but the warmth bubbled in her heart. "I used to be a maid, remember?"Julian froze at the reminder."Diana..."Seeing how he was giving her a pitiful puppy look again, Diana couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, let's not talk about your dark past anymore, Mr. Fulcher."But Kayla... Was she really an existence that could be ignored if she wasn't brought up?Her heart c
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 341
Julian was frozen on the spot.He had never been teased by a woman like this in his whole life!Damn it!If she wasn't pregnant...she would be in danger right now!The signs in his eyes were obvious, and Diana flushed like a tomato before she hurriedly opened the door to let the air in and said, "I've got to go back to work."Waving at him, she said, "Bye!"Julian hadn't spent enough time with her yet, but when he saw how she ran away like a bunny running from a predator without a word, he called out, "Woman, I'll wait for you tonight!"Instantly, the eyes of the surrounding people were directed at him.Diana was about to die of embarrassment, but the smile in her eyes continued to sparkle brightly. When she arrived back at the office, Jayden could practically feel the joyful air around her, and his heart gradually fell. Diana must’ve gone to see Julian, who was her sister's man.Then... What was Diana? She seemed to be just a loose woman.The appreciation for beauty in his

All ten sets were matching couple sets."We'll have plenty of matching sets with our children in the future too," Julian said as he gently guided Diana upstairs since she was rooted to the spot."Come on, hurry up. You should start getting used to it from now on."Diana felt it was weird to wear pajamas and have dinner, but she couldn't deny him and changed into the set he handed her. The two walked down the stairs in matching light blue pajamas, which Albert praised, "You two really look like a match made in heaven."His words were sincere, but he only referred to their appearance. In his honest opinion, Diana had stolen Kayla's face. At the end of the day, Kayla was the one who suited Julian and not Diana.Thinking about Kayla's promise that she would return as mistress of the household here soon, he brought out the dishes for dinner and asked, "Will you be eating now, Sir, Madam?""Yes," Julian replied. "But why have we been using the same dining sets lately?"Albert's hand

Early on September fourteenth, Diana woke up with an extremely stuffy feeling in her chest. She looked out the window, and sure enough, the sky was dark and gloomy."It's typical autumn weather," Diana said as she reminded Julian to wear a thicker coat. "It feels like it's going to be a heavy rain today."The clouds were gray and thick in the sky, and there were layers and layers of it, looking as if they were going to fall right down on the people below."Yeah," Julian agreed and brought her a thicker coat. "I have a meeting today, so I can't send you this morning. I'll get the driver to send you, but I'll still see you this afternoon. If you're not dressed warmly, I'll beat you, okay?"Diana knew exactly where he implied he would beat her and suddenly felt a phantom pain on her behind as she said obediently, "Okay."After saying that, she seemed to realize something and added, "We'll be parents soon enough, and you can't always do that anymore."Julian raised an eyebrow. "Alway

[Okay.] Diana replied to Fanny. [Don't worry, I'll definitely send a design you'll be satisfied with in the next round!]Diana had confidence in her design enough to say those words to Fanny. The latter also replied with a rare emoji saying 'good luck', which was considered approval from the ice queen.Diana instantly felt motivated, and even the gloomy weather outside couldn't affect her. It didn't occur to her until noon that Julian wouldn't be having lunch with her today in the car. She turned around to invite Jayden to eat with her, but noticed that all her colleagues were gone.Perhaps they had all gone to lunch?Diana had just been a little slow, then. Shaking her head in frustration, she planned to order takeaway, only to discover that many riders had stopped taking orders due to the heavy rain.She got up and went to the meeting room to look around, only to find that many of her colleagues had come prepared with packed lunches today and were nestled in the room to heat u

Diana had been suffering from diarrhea for the past few days. Still, it had been mild, and she had gotten better after she went to the bathroom when it happened.Perhaps because she was in a depressed mood today, but she could still feel her stomach hurting after going to the toilet.She hunched over her workstation slightly and got herself a few cups of hot water in attempts to soothe her stomach. After about an hour, she gradually felt better.However, the rain outside continued to pour.When the time came for her to clock off, there was still no contact from Julian. Diana was afraid he would come without warning, so she called him. Yet, no one answered.Since he had mentioned he would pick her up from work, it meant that his meeting wasn't going to last the entire day. Julian had always been strict when it came to work arrangements, so it was strange that Diana couldn't contact him at this time.Diana grew more flustered and tried contacting Noel, but no one picked up either.
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 346
"Sir."Noel wasn't even wearing a raincoat as he arranged for maintenance outside. "It's raining too heavily, and more than six manhole covers are missing. That's not the only problem. The covers on this entire road are loose, and someone may fall in if they don't pay attention. Even our car might drive right into one, especially with how bad vision is now."The rain was heavy, and the weather was poor. Even with money and power, it was difficult to find a large number of workers on such short notice.What was more, this was clearly a security issue.It would be more troublesome if a worker were to have an accident during this period."Is there still no signal?" Julian asked. Noel's face looked like it was going to turn deformed under the heavy rain, and he raised his hand to wipe away the water multiple times before he could speak clearly, "No."The nearby signal source seemed to have been cut off from them, and it was difficult to contact anyone. It was probably the same th

Julian was alert the entire time. Even though the rain was heavy, he kept his eyes and ears open as he monitored the surroundings at all times. If there was any abnormality, he would spot it immediately. The only problem was that he was soaked to the bone in the downpour.When he reached the corner, he finally made it out of Scenery Street. The road conditions here were clearly much better; there were no floating manhole covers on the water's surface, and the water flowed neatly into the drainage channel. There was no water stuck on the road, either.It was also further proof that something had been intentionally done to make Scenery Street a danger zone.Who would dare attack him so blatantly?Julian thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think of anyone who would have the guts to do so.However, he wasn't worried. His enemies had gone out of their way to plan an attack on him, so they would definitely show themselves soon enough.He just needed to be extra cautious.H

“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
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1547
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
