Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 448

Before Kate was a mother, she would always be first and foremost James’s wife.

In that case, why should Diana do something that could ruin Kate and Kayla’s relationship? She had to admit that she had already lost to Kayla in terms of love; and now, she had also lost to the latter in terms of familial ties.

Kate had indeed hurt her today because the truth was within reach, but Diana could see the clear resistance Kate exerted.

Perhaps Kate wasn’t a fool. Perhaps it was Diana who was one who was a fool in the entire world.

She at first assumed that Kate had been kept in the dark all these years; but in reality, it seemed Kate knew everything all along.

“Since you don’t want to accept it or face the music, I won’t force you,” Diana said, looking straight in her eyes. “I hope you take care of yourself.”

With that said, Diana turned to leave.
