Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 81

He had always loved and cherished Kayla. Despite that, why couldn’t he feel any joy when they spent time together? Why would his entire body stiffen up uncomfortably instead?

On the flipside, he would experience immense joy each time he was with Diana.

Was it really because he doesn’t like Diana and therefore doesn’t treasure her and instead wants to bully her and be possessive over her?

Julian’s brows were knitted tightly together as his mind raced. This time, instead of pushing Kayla away, he took the initiative to draw her closer and kiss her forehead gently. “Sweet dreams.”

Bathed in the silver moonlight, he appeared even more handsome and suave.

Kayla desperately wanted to return him a kiss and leave her mark on his body. However, she knew that now wasn’t the time. Loraine had taught her that men would always desire things they couldn’t get.

So, she simply lowered her head coyly. “Go on. I’ll watch you leave before I head back home.”

It was only when Julian entered his car that she disappeared into the darkness.

However, Julian didn’t continue the trip. Instead, he instructed Noel to stop the car after making a turn.
