Todos os capítulos de Julian’s Stand-In Wife: Capítulo 701 - Capítulo 710

When Diana left the villa in the morning, she was filled with excitement and anticipation for rekindling her married life with Julian. Now that she had returned, all she had was the documents in her hand and no one by her side.She felt as lonely as she looked.The atmosphere in the entire villa was icy and oppressive, devoid of any New Year's joy and laughter."Didn't Mr. Fulcher come back with you?" Layla asked. Layla was someone who had been transferred from the Fulcher Manor, Madam Fulcher’s residence. She was an old servant who had been accustomed to serving Madam Fulcher. After Albert left, Madam Fulcher wanted her to take care of Diana. However, Julian had been hesitant about bringing Layla; he feared Madam Fulcher would be uncomfortable without Layla being around to help, so he had never agreed. After Madam Fulcher passed away, Julian took the initiative to bring Layla to his residence. He and Diana treated her as an elder of their family.In the villa, she was the only p

On New Year's Eve, the person Diana had met at the Channing residence wasn't Oliver. Plus, the meeting certainly wasn't as important as Julian had thought. She just went to meet Simon to hear about a secret involving Julian. But this secret... Diana looked up at him, and the ache in her heart settled like a spider's web. It wrapped around her heart and was deeply rooted in her core, as if it had woven a trap in her life. She couldn't afford to be rash and tell Julian the true reason for her absence on New Year's Eve.Diana swallowed hard as she anxiously explained to him, "It was wrong of me to lie, Julian, but I had my reasons. I had no choice." Her own stupidity prevented her from immediately finding a tactful way to inform him, to minimize the impact of Simon's situation on Julian."After your birthday," Diana suddenly said as her eyes brightened. "After your birthday, I promise I’ll tell you everything!" Just give her a few more days. She was certain she could properly di

She didn’t expect Julian to not say anything to her even after a long while.Diana couldn’t stand it any longer, and was about to pull open the sheets and look outside when she suddenly felt the other side of the bed sink down.The sheets were pulled away from her as well.Julian was lying down on the bed.What was the point of sharing a bed when he didn’t bother cajoling her or talking to her?Did she need to wait longer?Did a cold and hard man like Julian need more time to prepare himself before he was willing to coax another woman?That thought made Diana feel better inside.She stopped herself from crying out of indignation.She simply waited quietly.She waited until her whole body went stiff, yet Julian remained silent.Her head was still under the covers, and she just needed to turn her head slightly to see his collarbone peeking out from under his unbuttoned shirt.The sheets were filled with his scent.It was so cold outside; yet with him around, it felt like the

Diana didn’t speak in the nicest tone.The caller on the other end didn’t care, though, and went on, “It’s my brother’s birthday today and you’re still not up yet?”His brother’s birthday?Who was Julian Fulcher’s brother?Simon Channing!Diana’s heart leapt as she glanced guiltily at Julian.She immediately ran out of the study, closed the door, and leaned against the wall. With a guilty conscience, she hissed, “Who’s your brother?! Whether Julian acknowledges you as his brother or not is a completely different matter! Don’t just call him your brother like that.”“Oh, so he’s not my brother, and you’re not my sister-in-law.”Diana sighed. “What exactly do you want?”It was so annoying how he always managed to pick the most critical point of time to interrupt her and Julian.Simon deliberately ignored the annoyance in her voice and said shamelessly, “Ms. Winnington, may I ask you out for lunch today?”May he?Of course he may not! Today was Julian’s birthday.What’s more

Julian and Simon met by the road of Winding Highway.By the time Julian rushed there, Simon’s car was already parked at a bend. He was seated on the roof of the car, swinging his legs in the air while waiting for Julian.This spot was a blind spot. If they weren’t careful, cars zooming past might just crash into them and send them flying into mid-air.Not just the car, but even they would fall off the cliff and end up with their bodies nowhere to be found.“Come down.”Although Julian didn’t acknowledge Simon as his brother, he didn’t want to see the latter courting death right in front of him.Of course, Simon refused to listen. “The view here on the roof of the car is great.”He stretched out his hand to Julian. “Come on up and have a seat?”“No need.” Julian looked at him and said coldly, “No view is better than any view by my wife’s side.”His words were a direct attack on Simon for contacting Diana in the morning.He was both implicitly and explicitly telling Simon tha
