Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1362

Through the driver’s attitude, Diana sensed something was out of the norm. She tried to probe.

“We haven’t made plans on where to go, and we don’t know when we’re heading out or which hotel we’ll be staying in…”

“That’s alright,” the driver said. “I’ll just wait right downstairs at your hotel. Anytime you need a car, just tell me. If you don’t, I’ll just wait downstairs.”

He was definitely not allowing Diana out of his sight.

The alarm bells in Diana’s heart rang even louder, but she knew she couldn’t say no to him. She could only go into the hotel and get some rest first before playing it by ear.

Jim didn’t expect Diana to not follow the driver back home. Thankfully, his subordinate was quick-witted enough to not leave Diana alone outside.

He wouldn’t feel at ease leaving a pregnant lady all by herself.

Thinking about it, he told the driver to book a room right next to Diana’s hotel room. “After I’m done with this experiment, I’ll head over. Make sure she stays safe when I’m not around. If you need help, seek my approval anytime.”

The driver nodded, but he looked as if he had something more to say.

Jim could sense something wrong in his voice. “You have something to say?”

He paused for a moment and said with rarely-seen patience, “Tell me.”

The driver said, “Professor, Ms. Winnington has a family. She’s pregnant, too…”

“If she wasn’t pregnant, I wouldn’t have invited her to Jacroaof.” Jim could sense that the driver was trying to dig information from him, and his tone chilled. “I’ll find someone to replace you.”

In other words, the driver just lost the chance to drive Diana around. He had also just lost his job in the Hughes household.

The driver wanted to contest Jim’s decision, but suppressed his anger at the thought of how ruthless Jim could get. He could only get out of the car angrily and walk away all alone.

Meanwhile, Diana and Betty rested in their hotel room for an entire afternoon.

By the time they had their fill and walked out of the hotel, the streets were already lit up.

This hotel was located in a busy area of the city center. The moment they exited the elevator, they could sense the bustling crowd around them.

They were right in the middle of the holiday season.

Diana held Betty’s hand, and walked to the end of the street. They paused for a moment when they saw the car sent over by the Hughes family, but realized that there was no one in the car.

Diana heaved an inward sigh of relief. Perhaps she was being too tense.
