Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1145

Chapter 1145

Aside from Diana, Grandma wouldn't acknowledge anyone else as her granddaughter-in-law.

"But...” Julian said, his heart breaking, "She left us way too early."

That was why she could never give the necklace to Diana.

Diana thought about the time Grandma left them. Her heart broke, too. Her chest felt tight and suffocating, as if someone had stuffed wet cotton in it.

The two of them stared silently at the jade necklace for a long time.

"Grandma actually gave me a lot of jewelry. The funny thing was, I once thought of giving the earrings I got from her to my mother Kate. However, she told me the truth and helped me see how stupid I had been. Grandma was so thoughtful of me, I owe her so much,” Diana said, her heart breaking even further.

She suddenly had the urge to cry.

Her parents had never given her love and kinship. Grandma was the only one—Grandma more than made up for the family Diana never had.

The two of them talked for a while. When they finally left the room, they bumped into Layla. She was almost done preparing the New Year's dinner.

"Sir, Madam, time for dinner?" Her gaze fell on the jade necklace Diana was holding. "Is this necklace...the one that belonged to Madam Fulcher?"

Diana nodded.

Layla's eyes flashed with guilt. "Sigh..."

She dragged Diana aside, and said, "Before, I thought the jade necklace Mr. Fulcher gave Ms. Jarvis was the same exact one. I..."

She tried to explain herself, anxious, but Diana understood what she meant.
