Chapter 1268

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1268 If Diana saw through his intentions and had her mood ruined, it wouldn’t be good for the growth of her babies.

Jim’s worry made his smile even warmer and kinder. In turn, Diana felt even more embarrassed.

“Professor Hughes,” Diana explained anxiously, “I…”

“I know.” Jim stopped her from going on, and brought her to another corner of the zoo.

It was where visitors could feed the alpacas.

Many children were carried in the arms of their parents as they fed the alpacas.

The adults were all smiling so kindly as the children played happily.

The atmosphere was cheerful, and lifted the moods of all who were there.

Jim made sure Diana was following closely behind him. ” You’re pregnant, and there’s many people around. Be careful.”

He led her to a place that was less crowded, and sat her down so that they could look at the children feeding the alpacas.

The alpacas had long necks. The scene of their mouths moving as they chewed was so adorable, Diana suddenly regretted not ever bringing Sean and Betty to the zoo.

The regret grew stronger in her heart the more she thought about it. It instantly soured her mood.

Jim came over and asked, “Mrs. Fulcher, are you happy with my gift?”

Diana was stunned, only realizing that Jim was talking about the information on her family background a couple of seconds later.

When she was reading the documents in the car just now, aside from the shock and her doubts and anger about Julian possibly hiding the truth from her, she also felt bone-deep fear because of Fanny.

Nw that she had calmed down, her initial uneasiness had faded. Her eyes flashed with a strange glint.

“Professor Hughes,” Diana said, in a voice like a gentle breeze across a lake, calm yet capable of sending ripples down the water. “Why did you investigate me?”

Which normal person would think about digging these things up?

Diana herself never thought of the possibility that James Winnington wasn’t her biological father. Anyone who saw how they looked wouldn’t say that they weren’t biological father and daughter.

Yet Jim, whom she only just got acquainted with, threw her such a huge bomb.

Diana didn’t dare take on the bomb just yet.

Jim chuckled at her question.

“For no particular reason, but only because I’m very interested in you,” Jim said.

“In fact, I’ve known you for a long time. It’s just that you don’t know me.”

Diana’s face changed drastically. “You’ve known me for a long time? Since when? How do you know me?”

“Since you were young,” Jim said after pondering for a moment. “Or rather, I should say that since James abandoned you at the amusement park, I knew you.”

Diana tightened her grip over the arm of the chair.

She had long accepted the fact that her father had abandoned her heartlessly when she was young.

However, having a near-stranger tear apart the wound in her heart made her upset. The long-lost feeling of being abandoned struck her in her heart.

The sudden pain left her dumbfounded.

She was already a mother herself, and soon, she would be a mother of four.

All the more she found herself unable to accept the fact that James had once abandoned her in a park.

She bit her lip, suddenly regretting meeting Jim today.

Perhaps today wasn’t a good time.

Forget talking about Nina, she couldn’t even string a complete sentence together. She could only stare at the kind and happy parents who were holding their children in their arms.

The pain in her chest grew.

She started to believe more and more in the documents Jim gave her.

“Who are my biological parents?”

Jim didn’t expect Diana to change the topic.
