Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 720
“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,

Did that mean that Julian agreed to cover for her?Due to the intimidating aura surrounding him at the moment, though, Kiki didn't dare ask and simply followed behind him silently.When they arrived at the gynecology department, Julian still couldn't see Diana, who was still undergoing an examination. The clinic was full of female patients, so Julian couldn't conveniently go right into the examination room to find her. As he waited outside, he couldn't contain himself any longer and went to find Vans. After seeing Vans, he hesitated for a long time before speaking. It was as if the act of speaking itself would condemn Diana to death. Julian's nervous face turned pale. Vans had never seen Julian so terrified before, and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing. He almost couldn't hold back from telling Julian the good news about Diana being pregnant. Upon careful consideration, he recalled Julian's mistakes when Diana first got pregnant and concluded it was only fair that

Diana had been looking forward to her pregnancy all the way, and she had been filled with joy as she rushed back to Richburgh to share the news with Julian as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, just as she was about to say it, she ran into him with another woman. She heard with her own ears as the woman told him: "Julian, I'm pregnant!" Did this woman and the child in her womb have any connection to Julian?Julian loved Diana very much, didn’t he? Would he really do something to hurt her?Perhaps she had misunderstood that scene—or so Diana told herself as comfort, but she couldn't help but sigh as she touched her lower abdomen. Subconsciously, she hid the lab report she held behind her back."Julian," she called out softly, moving to stand before him.Seeing the woman he had been yearning for suddenly appear before him, Julian's eyes revealed nothing but surprise and joy. But in the next instant, his expression suddenly turned cold. He took a few steps forward and grabbed D

Julian saw through Kiki's thoughts instantly, and said, "We're getting remarried today."He was determined not to give anyone the chance to say that he and Diana weren’t husband and wife. As for Diana, he held her hand tightly and told her, "Don't be afraid. No matter what happens to you, I'll be with you. Even if you have a terminal illness, I’ll never give up. Even if I have to search the world for renowned doctors, I’ll definitely cure you."His tone was filled with sorrow, his eyes expressing deep affection mixed with sadness. Diana couldn't help but laugh and gently tapped his forehead. "What are you thinking?"Julian froze. "What's wrong?"Everyone around him was acting so mysteriously. Was it because Diana had a terminal illness and they couldn't bring themselves to tell him, so he had to wait for Diana to reveal it herself?"Take a look at this," she said, utterly speechless about Julian's thought process. "Seriously, how can such a capable CEO be so clueless?"She hand

Julian was incredibly excited and unsure how to describe the emotions he felt at this moment.Although he had never mentioned it to Diana, he blamed himself for losing their two babies. But now, Diana told him that she was pregnant again. And with twins, at that! It was the most primal sense of awe and joy, a tremor reaching the depths of his soul. He would have his own children again."Thank you. Thank you!" he yelled, overwhelmed, as he hugged Diana. The man, who was usually cold and reserved, didn't hide his true emotions in front of everyone.Diana understood his complex feelings and hugged him just as tightly in return. "Silly," she said. She caressed the top of his head gently. "Didn't I tell you over the phone that I had good news for you?"Who knew he would think of a terminal illness? He refused to believe it, even after showing him the lab report and the ultrasound scan. It was only when she pointed to the gestational sacs in the image that he finally reacted."Let

What advice could Kiki want from Diana?The Stewart family was a family of traditional medical practitioners. Even if Kiki didn't possess medical skills herself, her family members were all well-versed in traditional medicine.Especially her father, who was a renowned figure in the field and received special government subsidies. Once she announced her pregnancy at home, she would receive countless suggestions. She didn't need to pretend to ask Diana questions in an insincere manner, as she was attempting to do right now.Julian, who had finally reunited with Diana after a long separation, had no intention of being disturbed by anyone—especially not Kiki, who lacked discernment. He shot her down and sneered, "There's no advice to give you."His gaze had turned ice-cold, as dark as an endless abyss—it immediately instilled fear in Kiki's heart. She felt that she would perish on the spot if he looked at her for another moment.There was nothing she could do but lower her head. By

Diana was even more surprised when she heard Julian's words. After learning about Simon's existence, she hadn't expected him to be so indifferent toward Madam Fulcher's concealment and his parents' betrayal.Regardless, she replied sincerely, "I also planned on going there."But considering Julian's state of mind, she hadn't brought it up."Luckily, you don't mind," she said.Julian's mind was filled with only her at this moment, and he didn't have time to carefully consider the deeper meaning behind her words. Smiling, he said, "What's there to mind? It's not the terminal illness I imagined, but rather the joyous news of a pregnancy. As long as you’re in good health, you can still go out as long as you do things in moderation."Diana nodded. "As long as you’re sure.."If he couldn't move on because of Simon and held resentment toward his grandmother and parents, that would be more heartbreaking than the sudden appearance of a younger brother.Diana's cautious expression amu

Vans then added, "Diana doesn't have obvious pregnancy symptoms yet, so she should take the chance and eat whatever she wants during this time. At some point, she might start experiencing nausea and vomiting. When that happens, it’ll be hard for her to keep food down."By then, she would throw up no matter what she ate.Julian noted it and assured Vans, "Don't worry. I won't delay a minute in getting her whatever she wants to eat. When she asks for it, I'll prepare it for her as soon as possible."Diana listened on, feeling a sweetness spreading in her heart. However, she still had a question. "Vans, why do I often get headaches and shortness of breath lately?""That's due to hypoxia, which results from the babies growing stronger. It's also one of the pregnancy symptoms. If you ever feel that way again, let Julian arrange an oxygen concentrator for you at home. A few breaths of oxygen when you're uncomfortable will help," Vans explained.As soon as he finished speaking, Julian s

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
