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.”

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