Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1361

She had already decided to take Betty out for fun by herself.

Now that she knew Jim had made such detailed arrangements, she found it inappropriate for her to bring her daughter with her to his place.

What’s more…

The driver had seen her walking into the wrong washroom. She really didn’t want to go to the Hughes household.

“I’ll definitely visit the Hughes household in a few days’ time.”

She was thinking of going over to say hi to Jim after she was done getting some fresh air in Jacroaof and right before she left for home.

“But,” the driver said, looking like he was put in a difficult spot when Diana rejected him. Jim had sent him on a mission. “Professor Hughes said that he has prepared a gift for you…”

Diana was confused. “Weren’t the air tickets the gift?”

The driver chuckled.

“Of course not,” he said, as though he had found a reason to persuade Diana to go back to the Hughes household with him. “The professor said that you’ll find out what the gift is when you arrive at his home. He said you’d definitely be pleased.”

Diana grew curious.

But…

“About me walking into the wrong washroom…” she began, embarrassed.

The driver almost couldn’t hold back his laughter at her comment. However, he did his best to keep his face straight. He said seriously, “Ms. Winnington, since when did you walk into the wrong washroom? I never recalled such a thing happening.”

Jim’s driver caught on fast.

Diana was still reluctant. “I still can’t go with you.”

At the end of the day, she and Jim were but ordinary friends. He didn’t need to buy flight tickets for her and prepare presents for her.

Knowing that the flight tickets weren’t the present, she didn’t feel right. To think Jim had made such careful arrangements, to the point his driver knew how she looked like and could recognize her in such a huge airport, and that the real present was in the Hughes household.

She had to receive it in person by visiting the Hughes family.

The driver was stunned. “Why not? Our professor seldom gives gifts, and is seldom so thoughtful to others. You’re the first and only one he spends so much effort on.”

The more the driver explained, the more Diana felt uneasy.
