All Chapters of Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Chapter 1281 - Chapter 1290

Julian was practically in charge of everything related to Betty's clothes and outings. Diana had become a hands-off manager of sorts. After finishing her meal, she sat in her chair, about to get up and head over to the couch. Suddenly, a peculiar fragrance wafted through the air—it was the scent of durian! She eagerly looked toward the kitchen. Sure enough, there was a room filled with ripe, creamy durians that made her mouth water just by looking at them.Julian didn't like durians; he always found them to have a strange odor. Yet now, they were served—intended solely for Diana's delight. She took a moment to recall how she had recently mentioned her liking for durians, but mistakenly attributed it to Julian's preferences. It was only now that she realized her mistake. She gazed at Julian, and couldn't help but think that his endless doting had spoiled her.A smile graced her lips. "Julian, I want to discuss something with you."Today, he had not only handed over his entire

"As for the surname..." Julian fell silent for a moment. "Let's wait. Once you've confirmed your origins, you can decide what surname the twins should have."He smiled contentedly. "No matter what surname you choose for them, I'll be fine with it."Diana teased him playfully, intentionally provoking him. "What about Channing?"Julian raised an eyebrow. "Are you trying to infuriate me to death, then have all my children inherit my wealth?""Of course not." Diana got up and kissed him. She placed his hand on her lower abdomen. This time, she wasn't joking when she said, "I can feel them growing little by little inside me."The previous ultrasound showed them as tiny dots, but this time, they were already twice as big."I really hope they're girls," Julian unintentionally expressed his innermost desire.Diana was taken aback. "You actually want two girls now? Didn't you say you'd be happy with either gender?""That was because I didn't want to put pressure on you," Julian sa

Julian's posture visibly relaxed. He leaned back in his chair, allowing his entire body to recline, emphasizing his aristocratic figure even more. Noel, surprised, gazed at Julian. His eyes flashed with doubt. Even now, despite confirming his romantic relationship with Cecilia, Noel couldn't fathom why Cecilia would abandon her feelings for Julian and turn to him, her assistant.After all, she was such a beautiful girl.Even when she was sick, she was beautiful.During her illness, she would smile at him, and hide behind him as if he were the most important person in the world.Noel rarely got lost in thought while reporting his work. Julian glanced at him a few times, then raised his hand to tap the table gently. "Continue."Noel snapped back to reality, and quickly resumed where he left off. "As I’ve said, Jim Hughes developed the fever-reducing medicine. During the development year, he gave up the patent and profits. He also provided the prescription for free to all p

Noel couldn't help but smile as he continued the conversation he had hesitated to start earlier. "Sir, you've changed."Julian raised an eyebrow, "Changed? How so?""You've become more humane," Noel replied.Upon hearing this, Julian's expression became momentarily stern. However, his eyes seemed to sparkle. His face, however, returned to its usual demeanor, complete with his tightly drawn jawline. It gave off an intimidating aura."Speak quickly!"It was that tone, that ruthlessness, and an intensity akin to an adrenaline rush that made anyone listening to Julian tremble. Noel himself couldn't help but shiver.Julian seemed satisfied with this reaction. He looked at Noel as if the latter were his younger brother. Noel had stood by his side with true loyalty and sincerity for many years.After a moment, Julian said, "Go and fall in love, Noel."Julian continued, "What you should do for Cecilia now isn't about repaying her or showing gratitude. "Then, what is it?""You shou

Jim's enigmatic smile felt like a venomous snake about to strike. When Simon saw it, it kept him on edge. Jim toyed with the teacup on the table, his fingers tracing its surface. "Mr. Channing, which aspect do you want to pursue?""Herb cultivation," Simon replied.Upon hearing this, Jim's guard noticeably lowered. The Hughes family had its hands in nearly every aspect of the pharmaceutical industry, but not herb cultivation. He had originally thought that Simon, being so coincidentally and kindly disposed, had some ulterior motive. But now, it seemed he wasn't after the Hughes family's benefits. So, what was he after?Jim scrutinized Simon, his eyes capturing the tension and pity that Simon was trying hard to suppress. Simon had clearly felt sympathy for the servant who had been dragged away earlier, but why hadn't he said anything? He hadn't said a single word about it. He had continued the conversation so calmly, too. As someone who concealed their thoughts so wel
