Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Diana didn’t disturb Fanny.

She was still concerned about Noel’s situation. After taking a bite of chestnut cake, she could stand up and walk again as if she had regained her strength.

“Shall we go to the restaurant?” Diana suggested.

If they waited too long, Noel might become impatient over there. It wouldn’t be conducive for him to have a good conversation with Cecilia in that case.

This time, Diana genuinely wanted to play matchmaker for them.

“Is your stomach okay now?” Cecilia and Fanny asked Diana together.

Diana nodded. “It’s fine.”

She stood between the two, holding one of their arms with her hand. The three of them walked side by side, like sisters, creating a lovely scene in the shopping mall.

In the restaurant, Noel had been waiting for a while. It was a Japanese restaurant with great privacy. Noel was seated in a corner of a private room. From the outside, he couldn’t be seen from outside as long as someone didn’t fully enter.

Cecilia was the first to enter.

Her attention was still on Diana, and she thoughtfully added an extra cushion to her seat, hoping Diana would be comfortable.

“Come on in,” Cecilia called out to her.

Diana felt a bit embarrassed. She leaned her head in, but didn’t fully enter the room.
