Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1292

Perhaps Simon was overthinking things.

Before this pregnancy, Diana had already given birth to Sean and Betty. If Jim really wanted to do something bad to Diana’s children, he would have made a move long ago.

That thought made Simon less anxious.

He must have been traumatized by the ancient punishment methods he saw during the meal at the Hughes’ residence.

He stared at his phone screen, no longer anxious to call a second time.

Perhaps he should visit Jim’s laboratory first before arriving at a conclusion about Jim and what the latter wanted with Diana.

At this moment, Diana didn’t realize what she had missed in this ordinary afternoon.

She was basking in her happiness, completely ignorant to the heart-wrenching pain of being horrendously suppressed.

She looked contentedly at her lover seated next to her, and smiled sheepishly at him.

“Julian…”

“Why aren’t you asleep yet, even after lying on the bed for so long?” Julian asked disapprovingly. “Are you secretly playing with your phone?”

Diana denied vehemently, “No!”

Julian immediately turned tense. “You can’t sleep even though you’re not playing with your phone. You don’t look good. Are you feeling unwell?”

“Don’t be paranoid,” Diana said with a chuckle, sitting up. “I don’t feel unwell. I just don’t really feel sleepy. Maybe I’m a little tired from the trip to the zoo.”

Julian immediately pulled her feet out from the sheets. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

If he had known, he wouldn’t have talked so much with Noel.

Julian wondered if Noel would do as he said, given how stiff he was.
