Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 40

Kate sighed in a barely noticeable manner. She slowly let go of Diana’s hands. “Alright. It’s just the two of us anyway. Three main dishes and a soup will do.”

Kate didn’t even turn around to ask Diana what she would like to eat.

Diana was a little disappointed by that, but she also knew that this outcome was already good enough, and it didn’t come easy. She wasn’t about to ask for more.

If Kate was willing to accept her, there would be many more occasions like this in the future. Diana was in no rush.

After Lucy’s interruption, neither of them spoke again.

Kate seemed a little distracted. After the meal, Lucy asked a maid to bring the desserts over. Only then did Kate seem a little more energetic. “Serve everything.”
