Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 1

“Congratulations, you’re pregnant.”

As soon as the doctor said those words, Diana Winnington raised her head in surprise. Her face flushed red.

She was actually pregnant?!

After three years of marriage, she was finally expecting her and Julian Fulcher’s child.

Elated, Diana couldn’t wait to share the good news with him.

However, there was no answer when she called. It was only after she asked the driver that she found out that Julian had gone back to the old mansion on the outskirts of the city to hold a banquet today.

Banquets held at the old mansion were usually more private, so Diana presumed that the guest list consisted of their common friends. What’s more, Julian usually pampered her. Hence, Diana thought nothing of it and got dressed before she headed to the old mansion to find him without hesitation.

Diana stroked her lower abdomen along the way. She couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth from curling up slightly.

She got out of the car immediately as soon as she arrived at the old mansion, but was stopped by Mr. Carter outside the door.

Mr. Carter was an old butler who had been working for Julian for many years. His attitude toward Diana was a little more contemptuous than usual at this moment, and he did not seem to have any respect for her anymore. His tone was cold as he said, “Madam, you can’t enter.”

Diana stared at him blankly, suddenly feeling uneasy.

She often received much of such contempt and ridicule when she first married Julian.

Everyone thought she was a one who managed to climb up the ladder and turn into a phoenix, but no one expected her to be the respectable daughter of the prominent Winnington family from Richburgh.

She became a complete outsider when she got lost at the age of three.

No one would pay attention to her, even after she went through all the hardship from traveling from a small town in the countryside to Richburgh!

On the contrary, everyone accused Diana, the biological daughter of the Winnington family, of stooping low and scheming when she finally recognized her relatives. They called her a culprit responsible for destroying the Winnington family’s happy life!

But was it so wrong for her to simply want to see her parents?

She received the answer when her mother slapped her across the face. She also took the Winnington family’s contemptuous and taunting gaze to heart. The look in their eyes was exactly the same as the current look in Mr. Carter’s eyes…
