Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 281

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.

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