Chapter 161

Kayla occasionally pulling such a stunt was in fact proof of her love for Julian. It was time to have a proper talk with Kayla. This was what Julian had in mind when he made his way to her room, only to find it empty. His heart skipped a beat, and it felt like someone had stabbed him with a knife. It was as hard to breathe as the day he learned that Kayla had disappeared three years ago. He was in such a state that he almost stumbled as he went downstairs."Where did Kayla go?!" "She returned to the Winnington residence, sir," Albert replied with an oddly pale face, not daring to say more than needed.Julian felt air enter his lungs when he heard that and heaved a sigh of relief, collapsing on the couch.It was good she hadn't disappeared.If something happened to Kayla because of him, he would be miserable the rest of his life.As he cycled through his anxiety and relief, Diana watched coldly from the sidelines. She slowly crossed her arms, adopting a defensive pose as she sp

Chapter 162

Move back into the villa...Wasn't that more dangerous than not getting a divorce?Diana subconsciously touched her stomach, warning bells ringing furiously in her mind.However, Julian argued his case. "We just need to tell her that we know we were wrong this whole time, and that we'll definitely aim to let her hold her great-grandson this year. If you coax her well enough, she'll definitely let you move back here. After a while, when she lets her guard down, that'll be the time to go through the formalities and get divorced."Next time, there wouldn't be any more accidents."Don't worry," Julian said when he saw Diana frowning. She was shooting him a suspicious look, clearly reluctant. Pushing forward, he gave her another assurance. "I won't let Kayla wait too long."Diana was the one who had reminded him of this. Seeing that Julian had finally listened to her properly, Diana didn't know if she was more heartbroken or joyful to finally get her divorce. She didn’t have tim

Chapter 163

They soon arrived at the Fulcher Manor. Madam Fulcher was all smiles when she heard that Diana was moving back to the villa. She turned and asked Julian, "Where’s Kayla? Is she still living at the villa? I won't allow Diana to return there if that woman is still there!"Diana felt her heart warm at Grandma’s words. It was touching how the old woman was always looking out for her.It was obvious that Julian hadn’t considered that. He had wanted to bring Kayla back to the villa the next day, but now that Madam Fulcher had brought up this topic, he couldn't help but reconsider.It was inconvenient for Kayla to stay at the villa before his divorce from Diana was finalized, and it would be bad for Kayla's reputation if word got out that she was staying with Diana in the same villa.On top of that, Madam Fulcher would also be angry.Now that Kayla's vocal cords were in a stable condition and it would be fine as long as she continued going to checkups in the hospital, there wasn't much n

Julian paused. Then, he said, "I already told you that we have to put up a realistic act. You need to move back into the villa and your room."With that said, he watched the servants setting things up in the bedroom silently before heading downstairs."Albert."Albert was in the kitchen, speaking with the chef about the next day's dishes. When he heard Julian calling him, cold sweat broke out on his head. "S-Sir...""Come with me to my study.""I’ll go with you, sir," Noel said.Usually, Noel only stayed in the villa if he had something to do. However, he hadn't left today. Julian studied the father-son pair and instantly understood. "Alright."When the door to the study closed behind them, Noel knelt before Julian. Albert followed quietly and stood in the doorway, placing his ear to the door to listen to what was happening inside."Albert is hostile toward Diana," Julian said, his eyes fixed on the heavy wooden door of his study. He turned to sit on the couch and looked co

Chapter 165

By the time everything was cleaned up and settled, it was already ten at night.Diana's appetite had gotten better as her nausea and retching had decreased recently. She would crave something sour if she weren’t sleeping at this hour, such as a sour tomato soup or the like…If the dish had more sourness in it, it would be delicious for her and dispel the urge to throw up. However, these kinds of food were merely junk food to Madam Fulcher and Julian. From the beginning of the marriage, she wouldn't get to eat any of those dishes unless she went out with Nina. Julian thought the food wasn’t hygienic. Plus, as Mrs. Fulcher, Diana needed to be mindful of her image. Others were bound to make a big deal if she ate such cheap food.Madam Fulcher would retire early for the night when Diana lived at the Fulcher Manor. When her craving was particularly intense, she would order takeaway in secret. It was easy to do so back then, and she wouldn't be caught. Yet, here...Looking at the brigh

Chapter 166

This was bliss!That was the only thought in Diana's mind as she picked up her utensils and took a bite of her freshly baked bread and a sip of her sour tomato soup. Popping a piece of bread in her mouth, she savored the flavor on her tongue as her toes curled in satisfaction.Oh, it was just so delicious!She added more tomato paste to the dish to increase its sourness as she ate. Though it was weird to add tomato paste, it was the only thing to increase the sourness of the dish. Besides, it was normal for pregnant women to have weird cravings and food combinations. The more she ate, the more hungry she got. She managed to finish two servings in a single sitting.Whoa, she really broke the record this time! She had thought it would be impossible for her to finish both dishes.She hadn't expected her appetite to be so good. It must’ve been because it had been a stressful day trying to hide and endure everything Julian threw at her today. Now that most of the things had been reso

Chapter 167

Diana had to admit, Julian's features were attractive no matter where he was. Even though she didn't think too much about it, she felt uncomfortable when Julian's deep eyes were fixed on her.His presence in this room was simply too overwhelming.Clearing her throat, Diana waited for the man to leave. When it was clear he had no intention of doing so, she asked seriously, "It's already late. Why aren't you leaving?"Julian seemed more surprised than her when she voiced her question as if she had said something pathetically stupid. "We're not divorced yet."The man was more serious than her as he explained, "If we stay in different rooms right after reconciling, how would it look to Grandma?"Madam Fulcher would instantly know that they had lied. Julian's words did make sense…in a way.Still, something was still weird. Plus, Diana didn't want to sleep on the same bed that Kayla had slept in. She quickly said, "I'll sleep on the couch."The couch could be pulled out to be a small

Chapter 168

Diana was afraid Julian would catch a cold. That would be troublesome, so she went to get a quilt and laid it over him before climbing into bed. Once she lay down, however, thoughts of how Kayla had used this bed made her feel uncomfortable. She couldn't settle down. However, Julian was already occupying the couch. Though he didn't explicitly say it, she knew he didn't want her sleeping there.Diana couldn't understand what was going on in Julian's mind, so she simply accepted this and tossed and turned all night. The following morning, she woke up with dark circles under her eyes as she didn't sleep well.By then, Kayla was already sitting downstairs. Kayla regretted returning to the Winnington residence last night, especially since she received a tongue-lashing from Lucy and understood her position better. Julian was already showing signs of being moved by Diana, and Kayla shouldn't have fallen for Diana’s tricks and caused a scene. Sure enough, when she returned early in the m

Chapter 169

"Oh dear..." Kayla purposely looked at Diana with huge, innocent eyes. "Are you unhappy I'm here, Diana? If you are, I can... leave..."Diana froze in pain. She didn't have time to think about why Kayla was acting up again and could only feel the stinging soreness on her feet.After all, Kayla was wearing heels.It was fortunate Diana was sitting down. If she had been standing up, Kayla's action might have caused her to fall.When Diana thought of that outcome, her face twisted into an unsightly look. She shoved Kayla away, snarling, "You're crazy! Get off me!"Kayla collapsed to the ground in one smooth motion and looked at Diana with an aggrieved expression. Her voice was muffled as she cried, "D-Diana...! W-why...?""What's the point of pretending?" Diana was unused to seeing her in this state. "You clearly stepped on my foot first. I didn't cry from that, yet you are?!"Besides, Diana hadn't used a lot of strength when she pushed Kayla. Yet, Kayla sat on the ground as if she

Chapter 170

If Julian insisted on continuing his probing, then Diana would insist on telling the complete truth. Sadly, Diana knew Julian didn't care about it at all.Julian might go on and on about justice and fairness, but at the end of the day, he would still favor Kayla regardless of the facts.What had Diana expected?She laughed mockingly to herself. It was because Julian had given her the bed last night that she felt that perhaps he wasn't as cold and cruel as she thought.In the end, that was only wishful thinking. It wasn't because of that.It was only because Kayla wasn't around, and perhaps when he saw Diana's face last night, he only thought of Kayla and was considerate toward her.She had spent three years as Julian's substitute wife, so how could she not understand how he thought?He treated her well because he was good to Kayla. In his mind, Diana Winnington didn’t exist.Diana was going to divorce him, and Kayla was the one he wanted to love and spoil. Diana had finally fig
