Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1293

Julian had enough self-awareness to know that.

“You’ll have to wait for Noel to make a good showing and become their son-in-law before the Jarvises are willing to help us.”

This seemed rather challenging for Noel at this point. Julian was frustrated over how slowly Noel’s mind moved in the area of relationships.

“I found someone else to help. Don’t bother asking about it. Whatever it is, when I receive news about it, I’ll update you. Don’t worry about it before that happens.”

Diana was still pregnant. Although her work at the studio was getting on track, she still had to meet deadlines in drawing her designs and supervise production work at the factory.

An entire day’s work was still tough for her to go through. However, she was happy to do it and didn’t want to close the studio.

Julian saw how the studio was thriving, so he didn’t stop her from working in it. Although he didn’t think it earned much, it was her hobby after all.

“I know,” Diana said. She understood full well that Julian was worried about her health, and if her birth circumstances would make her feel terrible.

In reality, she felt rather happy knowing that James Winnington wasn’t her biological father.

Only, she didn’t know if her biological father had treated her as badly as James Winnington did…

Still, she didn’t want to worry about it before she could wrap her mind around the situation.

She decided to change the topic. “Will you come with me to the next check-up?”

“Of course,” Julian said, and he told her the details of the next appointment. “From the next appointment onward, I won’t miss a single check-up. When you’re in labor, I’ll definitely be by your side. I won’t miss it for the world!”

The days passed. In a week’s time, stretch marks started showing on Diana.

Perhaps because of her skin sagging from the previous pregnancy, it started showing way earlier this time round.

She had developed stretch marks after giving birth to Sean and Betty.

This time round, Julian paid much attention to rubbing stretch marks oil on her stomach every day from the start of her pregnancy. Said oil came from a reputed brand imported from overseas.
