Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 11

“No, you’re…” The person on the other end of the line seemed to sound apprehensive as she deliberated, taking her time to speak. However, joy and anticipation colored her tone as she said happily, “Are you missing me like I’m missing you?”

Julian hummed deeply in response.

Kayla was obviously even happier. “When you beat those people up and scolded my mommy because of my sister, I thought that…you wouldn’t contact me again.”

Julian lowered his head and looked at the text message Noel just sent.

It clearly showed that Kayla was the one who lured Diana to Winnington Mansion.

Although she made it so that her cell phone number wouldn’t appear in the text message, Julian’s men had a way to decipher everything. Julian quickly investigated Kayla after he saw Diana appearing at Winnington Mansion.

What did he want to say over the phone?

“Silly girl.” A fiery look flashed across his calm face, reflecting the deep alienation in his eyes. “Don’t think too much.”

He paused for a moment and said, “I’ll tell the driver to pick you up for dinner tomorrow.”

As for Kayla texting Diana, well… He was going to just let it go.

Perhaps Kayla felt uneasy as his divorce wasn’t settled yet.

Julian owed Kayla, so he rationalized that he should indulge her.

…

The next day.

Diana didn’t go back to the bedroom to rest last night as she didn’t want to see Julian at all now.

Thus, she had been resting in the guest room after returning from the flower shop.

After waking up again, she went to find Julian to sign the divorce agreement again. Alas, he had already left the house much earlier.

There was no breakfast that was usually prepared with love that she was so familiar with on the dining table.

Julian was truly completely gone, both in person and in heart.

Diana called her friend, Nina Ashlee, to go out shopping with her in order to divert her attention from the depressing truth.

The two of them ate a lot of snacks on the first floor of SK Mall. Then, they went to the second floor to shop for clothes.

“This shop’s on the casual side. Let’s buy two loose outfits so you’ll be comfortable.” Nina dragged Diana into a dress boutique. “When I was tailing some people, I found that many celebrities bought their clothes from this shop. The stuff here is definitely of good quality!”

Nina was a professional paparazzo. In fact, she was the top female paparazzo in the industry. Hence, Diana believed in Nina’s taste. “Let’s go in and take a look.”

The clothes inside were as good as Nina claimed. Diana looked at the dresses one after the other.

Diana’s favorite was a long-sleeved dress with black flowers on a white texture. It didn’t stick to the waist, and the back looked extra light because of the bow attached to it.

“I’ll try this.” Diana requested the salesgirl to take the dress down for her.

However, Diana and Nina had to take turns asking several times before a salesgirl finally came over.

“This dress costs one hundred and eighty-eight thousand dollars. You must buy it if it’s dirtied or damaged,” The salesgirl said arrogantly after glancing at them.

Nina could tell that the reason she and Diana were neglected was because the salesgirl here looked down on them.

“So what if it costs one hundred and eighty-eight thousand dollars? Diana can still afford it even if she buys your whole shop!”

“You’re really good at bragging.” The salesgirl laughed in ridicule and rolled her eyes at them.
