Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 713
[I love you so much that sometimes, I don’t even know why I would compromise time and time again.During our fight this time, I racked my brain every day thinking about how to make you happy, but I neglected making myself happy.It was only until today that I suddenly realized that I seem to be a little too reliant on you ever since we reconciled with each other.The phone card you threw away woke me up.Julian, our current relationship isn’t the kind of love I want.Perhaps it’s time for us to calm down.Give me a month’s time to think through our relationship. After one month, I’ll definitely appear right before you and tell you whether we should continue being lovers, or restart our marriage, or…just be friends.]The last two words pierced through Julian’s heart.He didn’t want to be friends with her. He wanted to be husband and wife with her again. But now, she had left.She even asked him to give her a month’s time, requesting that he not look for her.Diana ended

Getting jealous was inevitable.Having misunderstandings was inevitable.Doubting their relationship just like what was happening now was also inevitable.But as long as they were certain of the love between them, there would be no fear and hesitation.So what if he had his flaws? So what if he was overbearing? As long as he was willing to talk things through with her, Diana believed that Julian wouldn’t be stubborn in going his own way.At the end of the day, it was Simon’s existence as the illegitimate son of the Fulcher family that messed up her mind and made her hem and haw, thinking through what to say to cause the least hurt to Julian.However, that only served to deepen the misunderstanding between them, which eventually exploded on his birthday.After Diana calmed down and thought about it, when had Julian ever rejected her requests?She was truly foolish.Diana wished she could call Julian right away and confess her feelings to him in their entirety.But right now,

Her throat felt stuck, and it made breathing difficult. Her brain was in a constant blur because of the lack of air.She felt as though her feet were stepping on clouds, weak and floaty. She couldn’t stand up properly, and even her sleep quality was affected.Her plans to pack up and head back to Richburgh were therefore delayed.She decided to go to the hospital for a check-up.“Ms. Winington, how long ago was your last period?”“Period?” She was feeling shortness of breath and having a slight headache. She wasn’t having stomach cramps, so why was the doctor asking her about her menstruation?However, she replied obediently anyway. “Around three to four months ago.”After she miscarried, her period hadn’t come since then.Julian told Vans about it, and Vans said that her body was still weak and that she should try to bulk up on nutrition before resorting to taking medicine; and that was only if she felt seriously unwell.Thus, Diana never took her late period to heart.Now t

Pregnancy test kit? After being tense all day, Diana finally burst out laughing at Nina’s words. “What in the world are you thinking?”“I can’t possibly be pregnant! The last time I got pregnant, it was only after three whole years that I managed to conceive. This time…”She and Julian…Had only done it that one time before he went on his work trip.“Are you silly?” Nina wished she could pinch Diana by her ear and yell into it. “Did you forget what Julian made you take before?”“That’s a long-term contraceptive!”“You won’t conceive if you take that! You might have gotten pregnant one time during those three years, but in actual fact, you only had the chance to conceive after you stopped taking the contraceptive!”Nina went on yelling. “Whatever it is, hurry up and get a kit and do the test. For all you know, your two babies are back!”How could that be…?Although Diana often said that she wished for Aster and Star to come back, everyone knew it was nothing but a beautiful d

“No, no.” Diana stared at the two pregnancy test kits in her hand as she sobbed harder.The initial shock, joy and disbelief had all but vanished, giving way to unease and guilt.“I…I did a CT scan. Nina, I did a CT scan!” She sobbed even harder. “You can’t do that when pregnant, I checked it out… Apparently, it can affect a fetus very badly.”In severe cases, it might result in deformities in the baby.Diana’s worry went beyond the paltry medical knowledge Nina had. “Don’t panic first,” Nina said. “I’ll call Vans right away and ask him what we can do now that you’ve done a CT scan.”“Okay.” Diana calmed down a little upon hearing Vans’s name. “I’ll do a blood test first.”Only a blood test could gauge her HCG level and estimate the exact time of conception.“You’re definitely pregnant.” The doctor looked at her HCG level. “At around six to seven weeks.”With that, the doctor looked up at Diana and asked, “Do you want to keep it?”Diana’s brain seemed to have ground to a hal

As for the results of the check-up, she decided to see Vans and look through them with him.After she made up her mind, she didn’t want to stay in the seaside town for a minute longer.She kept the check-up results and packed her bags, then hopped on a bus headed for Richburgh.She didn’t take so much as a break throughout the four-hour-long journey.She just wanted to see Julian as soon as she could, and tell him the good news of her pregnancy.There weren’t many people at the bus stop, and Diana managed to secure tickets very quickly.She moved very cautiously throughout the journey. Each time the bus jolted, she would cover her stomach in fright.Even she found her own behavior silly.After all, if something really were to happen to the fetus, covering her stomach couldn’t do anything to change it.She was familiar with the helplessness of losing a baby.After rushing through the entire journey, she didn’t dare to be too anxious in returning to the villa. She caressed her

Julian responded at lightning speed. “You’re going to Central Hospital? What’s going on?!”“I’m fine.” Diana felt even happier upon sensing his concern for her. An overwhelming sense of happiness washed over her as her brows lifted in joy. “Julian, I’ll see you at the hospital.”The news of her pregnancy would surely surprise him.He’d surely be surprised and happy!While she was feeling all joyful and excited, Julian’s mind was in a mess.After hanging up, he immediately rushed out of his office. He vanished from Fulcher Inc.’s office building in a flash.It was only when he settled in his car and stared blankly at the rearview mirror that he realized his stubble had grown a lot during the time Diana was away. He wasn’t in time to shave himself, and it made him look older.He wondered if Diana would mind.However, he didn’t have time to do anything about it. The moment he heard that she was in hospital, his heart had risen to his throat and he couldn’t be bothered about anyt

“I’m not going.” Julian unfastened Kiki’s seat belt and flung the car door open. He glared at her and snarled, “Get out of the car! Right now!”Hurt flashed past the depths of Kiki’s eyes, but they vanished in the blink of an eye. She said stubbornly, “I’m not getting down!”When she saw Julian reaching out to push her out of the car, she seized the chance to grab his arm and said in a pleading tone, “Julian, please, just help me this one time. If my dad found out that I came here alone for a check-up, he'd beat me to death!”But things would be different with Julian around.He was rich and powerful. Even if she really was pregnant, her father wouldn’t dare say anything. Rather, he might even find it a good way to get a foot through the door of the Fulcher family. Yet Julian refused to help her, and his mind was made up no matter what she said. Firstly, he had no obligation to help her.Secondly, he didn’t want to do anything that might make Diana misunderstand him.Thirdly,

“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
