Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 290

Regardless, Diana remained firm and pretended not to see the look on Kate’s face.

Diana wouldn’t forget that back at the hospital, Kate had been so sure that Diana had poisoned Kayla and couldn’t wait for Julian to deal with her. The look on Kate’s face still lingered in Diana’s mind till today.

What was more, Diana couldn’t feel any real care or warmth from Kate the entire time the two had been together. She could even feel Kate’s discontent when Kayla brought over this small chair for Diana to sit.

Haha! If that was still the case, why would they call her, a daughter they often dubbed a street rat, to their family home?

“What did you want to talk about?” Diana asked, getting straight to the point.

James almost choked on nothing when Diana spoke so bluntly. This fact only served to cement that Diana was nothing like Kayla, as the latter was an attentive and obedient girl. In fact, he started to feel glad he had thrown Diana away and covered the fact that he brought his illegitimate daughter into his family by way of adoption for his wife to raise. It had been a good move, indeed.

After a pause, James gathered himself quickly and said, “It’s nothing much. You’re our eldest daughter, so your mother and I are worried about how you’ll live after your divorce and wanted to ask about your plans once that happened.”

As Diana had expected, they wanted to talk about the divorce, which was related to Kayla.

It was an indirect nudge about her divorce from Julian.
