Julian’s Stand-In Wife

“Sir.” “Yes?*

“Women need to be coaxed.”

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

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

Mrs. Lay disagreed with him.

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.
