Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 171
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
The following day, there was still no sign of Diana. There had also been no delivery boy bringing takeaway to the villa.
She just had a miscarriage. She couldnât have fainted from not having anything to eat or drink for long, could she?
When Julian returned from work and noted again that it was only him and Kayla sitting down for dinner, he couldnât take it anymore.
âIâll go upstairs and check on her.â
Kayla looked at the untouched food before Julian and said unhappily, âYou should eat, Julian. Iâll go check on her.â
âShe wonât open the door for you,â Julian said as he gestured for Mr. Carter to bring the room key. âIâll go. You should eat.â
It sounded like he was saying this for her sake, but in realityâ¦
His heart and mind just werenât here anymore.
He wanted to see Diana.
Kayla clearly noticed this, and she gritted her teeth harshly as she chewed her food. She wasnât willing to take things lying down like this, so she quickly put down her cutlery and said, âIâm also very worried.
Iâll go with you.â
With that, the two of them made their way upstairs. When they reached the door, Julian made Kayla stay back as he slowly unlocked the door and pushed it open.
The room was dark; Julian looked around several times but couldnât find Diana. His heart clenched tightly when he couldnât see her, and he quickly stepped inside the room.
As he walked in hurriedly, he felt like he had stepped on something. However, he couldnât bring himself to care because all his attention was on finding Diana.
She hadnât left the room in two days, nor had she eaten or drank anything. Had she fainted?
Kayla frowned, watching as the usually calm and steady Julian stumble through the darkness. Her fear of losing him gradually grew.
Snap!
Kayla turned on the lights for him, and Julian only realized that he had forgotten to do so. He turned around to look at Kayla, and noted that he had stumbled just now because he had stepped on Kaylaâs foot in his hurry.
However, Kayla didnât seem angry. She even gave him a comforting look and said, âLetâs find Diana first.â
She hadnât changed. She was ultimately still the kind person he knew.
Julian felt a little relieved at that, then turned around to search for Diana once more. No one was in the bathroom, on the couch, or sitting at the dresser.
Finally, he turned to the bed and noted a lump on it.
Could Diana have passed out on the bed because she had lost all her strength from not eating?
Julian was extremely worried and hurried to lift the covers off the bed. Diana was inside, and sheâ¦
â¦.Was not in the state he thought she would be. A healthy flush was on her face, and she was sleeping soundly.
Diana woke up when the covers were lifted, and sleepily rubbed her eyes. She even let out a small yawn and extended her arms for him to hug, like she used to do in the past.
Kayla stood to the side, feeling a little awkward as she watched the scene unfold before her.
Julian tried to call Diana sternly and wake her up, but her eyes slid close again while her arms were still outstretched.
Before this, Diana had treated Julian coldly and even refused vehemently to admit her fault. Now, she suddenly wanted him to hug her.
Was this woman really pretending to be asleep?
Julian considered this fact, then took a pillow and put it in her arms before saying sullenly, âAre you trying to soften me up with this method so I wonât care about you pushing Kayla?â
What a devious plot!
The soft texture of the pillow in her arms and Julianâs cold voice snapped Diana out of her sleep.
Realizing what she had done out of habit, she was embarrassed for a moment but also annoyed. Her eyes snapped open, and she shot Julian an impatient look. âYouâre insane.â
Did she need to go through all that trouble for them?
âWho are you calling insane?â Julian was angry at her words. âYou wanted me to hug you, and I didnât, so now Iâm insane?â
It was only a habit she had developed over the years, and she didnât realize what she had done because she had been half asleep. Rolling her eyes indifferently, she didnât understand why Julian was holding on to this matter. âIâm sleepy. Please leave.â
She wasnât a monkey, so she didnât want them ogling at her like she was a zoo display.
