Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 54

The agreement that James wanted her to sign obliged her to get a divorce right after getting the money from the Winningtons.

“Julian’s even more anxious about it than you two.” Diana did not want to sign it because she did not want to erase that bit of kinship between her and Kate.

If it were in the past, she might have agreed to it. But with the baby growing inside of her, she couldn’t help but feel sentimental toward Kate.

“Yes,” Kate added, “just take it that you’re giving us some assurance in return for the money we’re giving you. Will that work?”

“Hah.” Diana couldn’t help but chuckle. “James has never acknowledged me as his daughter. Even you…”

She didn’t feel much affection from Kate anyway, who was clearly more concerned about Kayla.
