Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 702

When Diana left the villa in the morning, she was filled with excitement and anticipation for rekindling her married life with Julian. Now that she had returned, all she had was the documents in her hand and no one by her side.

She felt as lonely as she looked.

The atmosphere in the entire villa was icy and oppressive, devoid of any New Year’s joy and laughter.

“Didn’t Mr. Fulcher come back with you?” Mrs. Lay asked.

Mrs. Lay was someone who had been transferred from the old manor, Madam Fulcher’s residence. She was an old servant who had been accustomed to serving Madam Fulcher. After Mr. Carter left, Madam Fulcher wanted her to take care of Diana. However, Julian had been hesitant about bringing Mrs. Lay; he feared Madam Fulcher would be uncomfortable without Mrs. Lay being around to help, so he had never agreed. After Madam Fulcher passed away, Julian took the initiative to bring Mrs. Lay to his residence. He and Diana treated her as an elder of their family.

In the villa, she was the only person who dared to inquire about Diana and Julian’s private matters.

“He…”

Diana didn’t know how to explain. When she went out, she was ecstatic and told everyone that she would marry Julian again.

But now, she returned alone.

Was there anything more humiliating than this?

Mrs. Lay sensed her disappointment, and realized the remarriage might not have gone smoothly. She immediately tried to defuse the situation for Diana. “Oh dear, it’s my fault!
