Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 281

This was the second time Julian had run his hands over Diana’s stomach. Last time, he had touched her at the same spot when he thought she was in pain due to her period, and had brought her to the hospital afterwards.

Back then, she hadn’t known about the babies in her belly. But this time…

The threat he had given her still rang clear in her mind.

Diana looked down at the slender hand resting on her lower abdomen. Yet, she didn’t feel the longing and warmth that she remembered in the past.

At this moment, she could only fear terror for him.

She feared he would attack her babies, and she feared….

That he would disappoint her yet again.

She raised her hand and pushed his hand away. “Don’t touch me.”

Her voice was loud and cold, though tinged with a hint of fear.
