Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 32

Diana only realized it had rained last night after leaving the bedroom. The weather had clearly become colder.

She felt a little chilly after arriving downstairs. Just as she was about to head up to put on an extra layer of clothing, Julian handed her a cardigan. “You need to look after yourself even if you have debt to pay. Don’t

catch a cold.”

Diana found him acting very oddly. They were arguing intensely just the night before, and yet here he was, offering her a cardigan.

Despite his act of kindness, his words annoyed her.

“I wouldn’t dare trouble my creditor.” Diana didn’t reach for the cardigan. Instead, she replied in a nonchalant tone, “I hate black–and–white stripes.

This color reminded her of the skirt that other woman bought before she could, as well as how Julian liked that woman more than he did her.

Diana didn’t want to make herself sad.

Julian quickly saw through her. “You’re full of grudge! It was only a skirt.”
