Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 168

Diana was afraid Julian would catch a cold. That would be troublesome, so she went to get a quilt and laid it over him before climbing into bed. Once she lay down, however, thoughts of how Kayla had used this bed made her feel uncomfortable. She couldn’t settle down. However, Julian was already occupying the couch. Though he didn’t explicitly say it, she knew he didn’t want her sleeping there.

Diana couldn’t understand what was going on in Julian’s mind, so she simply accepted this and tossed and turned all night. The following morning, she woke up with dark circles under her eyes as she didn’t sleep well.

By then, Kayla was already sitting downstairs.

Kayla regretted returning to the Winnington residence last night, especially since she received a tongue- lashing from Lucy and understood her position better. Julian was already showing signs of being moved by Diana, and Kayla shouldn’t have fallen for Diana’s tricks and caused a scene.

Sure enough, when she returned early in the morning to put up a pitiful act for Julian, Mr. Carter informed her that Diana had moved back into the villa last night.

That stupid b*tch! She really knew how to exploit a situation!

So now, Kayla sat at the dining table, her gaze fixed on Diana. The scathing look she directed at Diana made it seem like Kayla wished looks could kill.

However, the angrier Kayla was, the more Diana could ignore the fact that Kayla had stolen her design. Diana knew that if she didn’t openly admit she was D&J, she couldn’t do anything about Kayla at this stage. No one would go against Fulcher Inc. for her, as they wouldn’t believe her.
