Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 19

However, she couldn’t say that to Julian’s grandmother.

If the old lady found out, her divorce with Julian wouldn’t be possible. Julian would then spend the rest of his life hating Diana. It would be so much better for them to separate amicably when they still have the chance.

Julian frowned. There was a look of disappointment on his face as he said, “Grandma, we’ve been trying to have a child for three years. We simply can’t…”

This was what he often said in front of his grandmother. Yet this time, the old lady refused to accept this excuse anymore. “I don’t care! It’s precisely because it’s been three years! You must give me a great- grandson soon! It’d be better if you give me a great–granddaughter, but she has to look like Diana and not you. I don’t like your cold face.”

“Yes, a girl should be cute and adorable.” Diana thought of the baby in her belly, and a gentle expression subconsciously appeared on her face. She couldn’t stop herself from chiming in and adding to the old lady’s unrestrained thoughts.

Unbeknownst to her, Julian straightened like a leopard that had caught its prey as he stared at Diana with a sharp gaze.

In the past, she never spoke that way.

She would only go along with his words, and ask his grandmother to not be so anxious.

But this time, she was actually going along with his grandmother’s ramblings.

Diana came into contact with his eyes, and instantly lowered her head.

How could this man’s eyes be so scary?!

She was just happy as this was the first time she heard someone talking about the baby she had. That was the reason she went along with the old lady’s words. From the way Julian stared at her, though, it seemed she couldn’t hide anything from him. He would see right through her soon!

Diana’s heart thumped as she restrained the urge to touch her stomach. She hurriedly lowered her head and whispered something into the old lady’s ear. After the old lady heard Diana’s words, she flashed Julian a pitiful expression and shook her head in silence before bringing them inside.

Julian kept looking for an opportunity to ask Diana what she had told his grandmother.

The old lady’s expression didn’t seem right.

In the end, they kept sitting together as they chatted and laughed. Julian tried to step forward several times, but was denied the opportunity to speak to her.

It was only until dinner time when Julian finally had the chance to talk to Diana, but what he blurted out had nothing to do with what he wanted to ask. “How are you? Have you felt any discomfort since you were discharged from the hospital?”

There was a hint of urgency in his words that Julian himself didn’t even notice.
