Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 161

Kayla occasionally pulling such a stunt was in fact proof of her love for Julian.

It was time to have a proper talk with Kayla. This was what Julian had in mind when he made his way to her room, only to find it empty. His heart skipped a beat, and it felt like someone had stabbed him with a knife. It was as hard to breathe as the day he learned that Kayla had disappeared three years ago. He was in such a state that he almost stumbled as he went downstairs.

“Where did Kayla go?!”

“She returned to the Winnington residence, sir,” Mr. Carter replied with an oddly pale face, not daring to say more than needed.

Julian felt air enter his lungs when he heard that and heaved a sigh of relief, collapsing on the couch.

It was good she hadn’t disappeared.

If something happened to Kayla because of him, he would be miserable the rest of his life.

As he cycled through his anxiety and relief, Diana watched coldly from the sidelines. She slowly crossed her arms, adopting a defensive pose as she spoke with faux calm, “Don’t worry, I don’t intend to remain in the Fulcher family any longer than necessary. As for Grandma… She did have a little misunderstanding about. what went on between us, but I believe as long as you intentionally hide it from her, our…divorce will be a lot
