Julian’s Stand-In Wife

“Sir.” “Yes?*

“Women need to be coaxed.”

“Coaxed?” Julian didn’t understand. “Coax who?”

Which woman was worthy of such effort?

“Grandma isn’t around anymore, and Di…” He paused for a moment before continuing viciously, “Do as I say and treat Diana Winnington like she’s dead “

Since their reunion, Julian knew Diana was no longer the same Diana he knew.

He didn’t have a place in her heart. She would even criticize him harshly.

Mrs. Lay disagreed with him.

To her, Julian was being too harsh.

But before she could persuade him, he spoke first. “Mrs. Lay, if you gave birth, could you possibly not know who the biological father of your children is?”

Mrs. Lay shook her head, stunned by Julian’s question. “No.”

Julian said, “But that’s what happened to Diana.”

He acknowledged that she was a good mother, but it didn’t mean he approved of her actions.
