Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 214
She couldn’t wrap her mind around it, but he remained uncontactable while Mr. Carter kept urging her for a
response, telling her not to make things difficult for him.
Diana knew that even if she were to go back to her bedroom, she wouldn’t get any rest there.
She had no choice but to bear with her fatigue, roll up her sleeves, and begin cleaning up.
Meanwhile, at Amber Pour Bar.
Julian sat in a corner, but his discreet position was not enough to hide his domineering aura.
Many ladies who entered the bar couldn’t help but look at him, but the moment they looked into his cold, dark eyes,
they would immediately lower their heads and retreat without a word.
“You’re not in a very good mood today, huh?” Vans poured a glass of whisky for him.
That went without saying. Julian downed glass after glass, but his eyes remained sharp and crystal–clear. ” Tell me,
what exactly is going on in that mind of hers?”
Vans sat stunned. “Who?”
He paused for a moment and ventured a guess. “Diana?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJulian nodded. “She thinks she’s grown a pair. I didn’t even know about her working at Esteem Creations. She even
told me this afternoon that it was better we don’t speak or meet with each other. Who does she
think she is?”
Vans remained silent.
Julian had been sitting right there not talking for a long while.
But the moment he spoke, a barrage of words came gushing out from his mouth like a dam that broke.
“And you still refuse to admit that you like her?”
“I like her?” Julian scoffed. “You’re the only one who keeps trying to mislead me in that direction. But I know clearly
how things began between the both of us.”
She was a replacement to begin with.
How could he fall in love with a replacement?
“You know Kayla’s the woman I love.”
“Then why are you always paying attention to what Diana does?”
“She makes me pay her attention.” Julian gave Vans a sideward glance as if he were an idiot. “She’s always playing
hard to get. How can I disregard that?”
“Since when did she play hard to get?” Vans exclaimed.
“You don’t understand!” Julian put his glass down, his eyes turning dark. “Many, many times, she would always talk
about the divorce and then turn around to do something that makes me pay attention to her. Isn’t that playing hard
to get?”
After all that explanation, wasn’t it all because he cared about her?
Vans didn’t understand why a smart man like Julian just couldn’t figure things out when it involved Diana.
Perhaps… He really didn’t like her.
After all, they were still legally married. Julian might simply be feeling possessive about her.
Vans recalled the last time when Julian forced Diana into the operating theater, and he asked himself if he
would bear to treat Nina in the same way.
His answer was no, no way. Not ever.
But Julian did it.
The truth was probably what Diana said; he had misunderstood things, and Julian didn’t love her at all.
If he loved her, he wouldn’t bear to hurt her in such a cruel manner.
Thus, Vans decided that he would no longer deliberately mislead Julian into thinking in that direction. Instead, he
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmasked Julian with genuine curiosity, “How’s things between you and Kayla? If the divorce doesn’t go through, are
the three of you just going to stay in the villa together?”
“I’m slowly clearing things up at Grandma’s side,” Julian explained. “I’m gradually removing the spies she’s planted
by my side. Even for some of the old–time servants in my villa, I’ve ruthlessly fired them all.”
He did so to pave the way for the divorce to go through successfully.
“Okay.” Vans knew what Julian was capable of.
The moment Julian set his mind on something, no matter how many spies Grandma planted by his side, he would
have a way of clearing them all up without leaving any traces behind.
The only thing was that he needed time.
But…
“It’s better to do things quickly.” Diana’s belly couldn’t wait any longer.
Putting himself in Nina’s shoes, Vans hoped that Diana would stay safe and healthy. He himself was rather excited
to see Julian’s babies.
The thought of the babies made Vans realize that he should come clean with Julian.
