Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 103
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Having said that, Kate pointed out the earrings to Diana. âThey do look like the ones you gave me, so it was clearly fate that you two met.â
It was much more than a similar resemblance.
Diana could remember anything her grandmother gave her. Even though she didnât know the exact value, she could remember every detail of the item.
The ones on Lyraâs ears were clearly the same ones she had left at the lake.
âSince itâs fate, how about we have a drink together?â Kayla suggested happily.
Kate immediately called for wine to be brought over and poured a glass for Diana, Kayla, and Lyra.
âYes, thatâs right. This is the first time you sisters have officially met, and Lyra came to congratulate me on my birthday. Iâm so happy to see all three of you here, so letâs have a toast!â
Lyra and Kayla hurriedly took their glasses.
âThank you, Mrs. Winnington.â
âThank you, Mom!â
Diana refused to take a glass as she was pregnant. âI canât drink.â
âWhy are you always such a spoilsport? You always refuse me when Iâm happy about something!â Kate was obviously a little upset, and even Kaylaâs face twisted slightly.
The happiness from before was gone almost instantly. Suddenly, Lyra said, âDiana? I didnât mean to splash water on you in the washroom just now, but you kept staring at me like I was a thief and it made me uncomfortable. I understand why you did it after Mrs. Winnington explained the earrings to me. So, Iâll drink first as an apology, okay?â
Diana didnât expect Lyra to tie the washroom incident to drinking. She quickly stepped back, feeling a headache building. The smell of wine was starting to get to her. âI appreciate your intentions, but I really canât drink.â
Kayla started to become anxious. The poison she and Lucy had prepared was on Dianaâs glass.
Kayla hadnât poured or touched the wine, so when Diana died, she and Lucy wouldnât be implicated even if the police investigated. Kate would take the fall and become a disgrace to the Winnington family for poisoning her daughter with her own hands. By then, Lucy would have the opportunity to rise to the top and top a take her seat as the Winningtonsâ mistress.
As for Lyra⦠She was simply a sycophant who liked to flatter Kayla. Kayla saw her as useful, so she threw the earrings Diana had tossed to Lyra. She hadnât expected Diana to meet Lyra in the washroom or for Lyra to splash water on Dianaâs face, which now became an excuse so that Diana would drink.
However, it all didnât matter now because Diana refused to drink.
Kayla started to get more anxious as time passed. âDiana, you refused to participate in the speech and mingle with the guests. Now, you wonât even toast to Mom. Arenât you being a little too selfish? Itâs her birthday!â
Lyra followed suit. âDonât worry, Kayla. Diana grew up in the boonies, so no one taught her how to behave in settings like these. Right, Diana?â
Seeing how enthusiastic they were about getting her to drink, Dianaâs vigilance intensified. Even if she wasnât pregnant, she definitely wouldnât drink the wine. She refused even more firmly, saying, âMy wound from two days ago hasnât healed yet, and the doctor forbade me from drinking alcohol.â
This served as a reminder to Kate, who finally remembered that Diana had been kidnapped and injured. According to Kayla, Diana suffered much that day. Her heart ached slightly for Diana, and she called someone to switch the wine with juice.
âNever mind,â Kate said, glancing at the two girls. âDianaâs not feeling well, so she can drink this instead.â
