Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1074

"Mom..." Cecilia called out awkwardly, quickly swallowing the half-eaten sweet potato in her mouth. Her tone betrayed some guilt. "Why are you here?”

Sue was displeased. She walked briskly toward Cecilia, patting the latter's shoulder as she assessed the surroundings. There was a tenderness in her eyes.

"You silly girl!” she yelled.

Throughout the conversation, Sue didn't say anything humiliating and didn't criticize anything. However, the way she regarded everything around her showed her high and mighty attitude.

Albert felt somewhat embarrassed. He grew to realize he had been terribly unfair to Diana in the past.
