Chapter 163
They soon arrived at the old mansion Grandma was all smiles when she heard that Diana was moving back to the
villa. She turned and asked Julian, “Where’s Kayla? Is she still living at the villa? I won’t allow Diana to return there if
that woman is still there!”
Diana felt her heart warm at Grandma’s words. It was touching how the old woman was always looking out
for her.
It was obvious that Julian hadn’t considered that. He had wanted to bring Kayla back to the villa the next day. but
now that Grandma had brough
up this topic, he couldn’t help but reconsider.
It was inconvenient for Kayla to stay at the villa before his divorce from Diana was finalized, and it would be bad for
Kayla’s reputation if word got out that she was staying with Diana in the same villa.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn top of that, Grandma would also be angry.
Now that Kayla’s vocal cords were in a stable condition and it would be fine as long as she continued going to
checkups in the hospital, there wasn’t much need for her to be at the villa.
“I won’t let her return,” Julian replied. He would let her stay at the apartment he had given her before. It was close
to the town center, and it would be easier for her to go to the hospital for her checkups.
Since he and Diana needed to put up an act for his grandmother, he had to make sure it was realistic so the older
woman would soon drop her guard. When she did, he would have the chance to finalize his divorce with Diana
quietly.
Diana was stunned by his answer. She didn’t come back to her senses until she returned to the villa, only to find the
servants busy redecorating her bedroom. Even then, she was still confused.
What on earth was going on?
How did she return to the villa in a trance?
“Are you sure Kayla won’t be angry with you now that I’ve returned to the villa?” Diana asked, turning to look at
Julian, who was standing to the side.
“You seem very concerned about my relationship with Kayla,” Julian said, sounding unhappy, but Diana was already
used to his tone by now.
Sometimes, it was hard to be certain whether the warm, doting man she knew in her past three years of marriage
before Kayla appeared was an illusion.
“I’m not,” she said, looking away guiltily. She was afraid that Julian would see through her thoughts.
She only hoped they would be fine for as long as they could be, and give her baby plenty of time to grow.
Julian narrowed his eyes and looked at her intensely when he heard her reply. When she noticed this, Diana realized
that she would never satisfy the man before her, no matter what she did or said, simply because she
was not Kayla
Besides, it was also because of her that his sweetheart had been forced out of the mansion.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDiana considered this, and then told the servants to stop what they were doing. “I don’t want to stay in this room.”
Kayla had lived in this room, making her feel uneasy about moving back here.
Julian was quick to disagree with her. “Why?”
After all, this was originally her room.
“Once we divorce and Kayla returns, she won’t be happy to see that the room’s filled with my things again,” Diana
said in a placating tone. “Oh, Julian. If you want to keep her, I suggest you listen to my advice more.”
Diana was so considerate of him. She was his wife, yet she was doing something that no ordinary person could
tolerate: helping him defend and maintain his relationship with another woman.
How ridiculous!
Julian avoided her gaze and said, “Just stay here. There are no other rooms.”
There were so many other rooms in the villa. How was his statement possible?
Diana wanted to argue, but seeing how dark his face had gone, she didn’t object and sighed. “These aren’t even
my things, and it’s not like I’m the same person I was. We’re just putting up the act for Grandma, so why does it
matter where I stay?”
It had been less than a month. Though some things remained the same, people had changed.
