Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1272

In a voice so soft and unwittingly pitiful, she asked, “Julian, why are you being so fierce to me?”

Julian’s heart melted at once. The troubled and cold look in his eyes faded.

“I’m not being fierce,” Julian said as he grabbed her hand, leading her to the front passenger seat. He ignored Jim completely as he started the car, fully intending to bring Diana home. “Don’t cry. I have a surprise for you at home.”

With that, he glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Jim was really following behind them.

Julian ignored him.

Instead, he focused his attention on Diana seated next to him, asking her in a low voice that was starkly different from how he spoke just now, “Who told you about your family background?”

As he had expected, Diana said, “Professor Hughes.”

Julian’s heart fell with a thud.
