She liked the sandwiches he made. Julian had been perfecting his sandwich-making skills over the past three years, even when she wasn’t by his side.That was the reason he could achieve such great taste in his sandwiches.He dared to boast that even a Michelin starred chef wouldn’t be able to make sandwiches as delicious as his.Diana nodded in agreement, “I always have to rack my brains thinking about what breakfast to make for the twins, and my dishes always fall flat. I probably put too much oil in my food.”For some reason, cooking was just not something she was adept at. “That’s alright.” Julian seized the chance and offered, “You can leave the cooking to me in the future.”The sandwich she was enjoying suddenly went tasteless in her mouth.Diana even lost all desire to continue chewing as she asked, “Are you still trying to take my twins away from me?”Heaven knows!Julian didn’t mean that at all.“Eat your breakfast first,” he consoled her. He was afraid of saying t

Diana listened, mouth agape at Betty’s outburst. She chided her daughter loudly, “Betty!”What was wrong with her child?She was still very resistant toward Julian yesterday, hiding behind Diana and refusing to see him.How did she suddenly become so clingy to him?Diana couldn’t wrap her mind around Betty’s behavior. She tried to haul Betty off Julian’s back. Before she could do so, he stopped her. “It’s fine.”He didn’t look like a high and mighty CEO at all.His suit and pants were in contact with the floor, and Diana could tell that it was a haute couture piece that didn’t come cheap.But now, for the sake of Betty, Julian treated his clothes like filthy rags, rubbing them carelessly on the floor.And…His knees were on the floor, too.As the wealthiest man in Richburgh, it was reasonable that he didn’t care about ruining his clothes. But he couldn’t possibly be so nonchalant about his knees and image, could he?Diana was getting increasingly curious about what Julian wa

This time, the shop assistant managed to recommend an entire pile of clothes, and that finally satisfied Nina.She pulled out her card and gestured at the clothes and accessories. “I want them all.”Although she was furious with Diana for leaving without saying goodbye, for not reaching out to her and for not telling her when she came back, she couldn’t bring herself to be mad at the twins.Especially when Vans went to the Fulchers and told her how much Julian adored the twins.She really wanted to see them.But Vans didn’t get to see the twins, not to mention take a photo with them.As such, she decided to visit them in person.At most, she would just ignore Diana and just focus her attention on the twins.When they were still in Diana’s womb, Nina was bent on being their godmother. Thus, she was determined to behave like how a godmother should behave.With so many clothes and gifts in hand, they were probably sufficient as a welcome gift.The thought of seeing the two dar

Well, as long as Fanny wasn’t going to ask Diana to pay her back even before they met, Nina was alright with it.Diana had two mouths to feed right now, and probably couldn’t afford such an expense.Nina heaved a sigh of relief. “Yes, she’s back. She came back with Simon.”Fanny’s face changed ever so slightly. “Simon Channing?” Simon disappeared for three years. Did he disappear together with Diana…?However, she didn’t express anything further and said, “Please, come in.”She wanted to have an exclusive interview, and she was willing to give Nina that opportunity.***Betty’s words had led Julian to misunderstand. Diana hurriedly explained herself, “I’m not jealous! Betty was too happy just now, and said that out of jest. Don’t mind her.”Don’t mind her?How could he not mind?He put in so much effort, to the point of crawling on all fours on the floor. It was clearly just so Betty would call him Daddy.Her address of him as Daddy was akin to a potion that made Julian

For a moment, Diana stared deep into Julian's eyes.A second later, she rallied and continued to confront him. At this point, Julian was exhausted. He just wanted to throw the evidence in her face and be done with it. "I'll have someone send the DNA test report." Julian glanced at Diana and then averted his gaze. "After you've seen the results, we can discuss all this nonsense." "DNA test?" Diana's mouth dropped open. Finally, she understood why Julian took the two little ones away a few days ago. He actually... Had them undergo a paternity test in secret! He took it upon himself to do such an illegal thing, without her consent as their mother! But... In Richburgh, he was the law. He was the authority. She didn't know why, but the thought suddenly popped into her mind. Diana was instantly defeated, and her voice gradually faded away. Powerlessness washed over her upon the realization that she couldn’t protect her own children. Perhaps coming to Richburgh was a mist

In the end, it wasn't Noel who arrived. Vans did. His expression was somewhat grave as he stood at the doorway. Without even stepping into the room to see the children, he said to Julian, “Come out with me for a bit."There was a hint of indescribable disgust as his gaze swept over Diana. She felt her heart skip a beat under his piercing stare. This man wasn't Noel. She was about to ask Julian who he was, but Julian had already stood up and was walking swiftly towards the exit. "Wait for me. I'll be right back."It seemed this stranger was delivering the DNA test results. Perhaps she had misunderstood his previous expression. After all, why would someone whose duty was to deliver test results harbor such animosity toward her?Diana breathed a sigh of relief, and even her grip on Betty's hand loosened. Sensing the opportunity, Betty wriggled free from Diana's embrace and ran to the doorway, waiting eagerly. With hopeful eyes, she asked Diana, "Mommy, what's a D...?" She forgot
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 813
Betty wanted to seek comfort from Sean, but he had already gone into his room. Only she and Diana were left in the living room. She could only hold onto her mother's clothes and ask cautiously, "Mommy, Uncle Julian... Can't I ride a horsie anymore?"Upon hearing her daughter's sweet voice, Diana snapped back to reality. Just a moment ago, Julian left and said there was nothing between them anymore. A large part of her felt indescribably devastated, though she didn't understand why. It left her feeling hollow and numb."No, you can't," she replied, her voice slightly shaky. She picked up the DNA test results and carefully read through them. It stated that there was no biological relationship between the tested individuals, confirming that Betty and Sean had no blood ties with Julian. This was what Diana had expected, and it was an anticipated fact. Julian was the one who went mad and refused to admit it, insisting that he was their father. This was a logical and expected res
Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 814
It seemed Diana couldn't marry Simon anymore.Julian, who had been eager to be the father of the two children, had also left. Diana looked down at the DNA test report. She should feel calm, but her emotions were turbulent. Her mind was a mess. Whenever she closed her eyes, she could only see Julian pacing in the room. The unfinished sandwiches on the table emitted a faint aroma. Diana opened her eyes and sighed. She tidied up the items and put them away in the kitchen. She thought about the unfinished food she hadn't eaten, and the two children who needed care. Soon, the inexplicable gloom in her heart dissipated.Love or fondness, it didn't matter. Perhaps it was even simply an illusion.These were things that only the rich and idle could ponder, and they were things far removed from her reality. For now, she needed to focus on her current life. The biggest challenge right now was not the DNA test report, nor Julian's cold and decisive attitude upon seeing the report.

“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.

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
