Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1427

Jim said patiently, “Go and take a look.”

He sounded as if he was smiling widely.

Diana put down the handset. She put the receiver facing up, so that she could call for help with anything she needed.

She wanted Jim to hear what was happening, to prove that she wasn’t deliberately keeping silent.

When she opened the door, she saw many clothes bags hanging on a rack, like presents waiting for Diana’s selection.

Next up was a meal trolley. It was piled with food; the first thing she saw was fresh caviar and birds’ nests.

Diana could smell their delicious aroma. Unfortunately, she didn’t have much appetite right now. She didn’t even have the appetite for durians, which she used to crave so much.

All she wanted was to see James Winnington again. There were some things that he needed to tell her, so she could find clues to progress to the next step.

“Mr. Hughes,” Diana said, lifting her hand as a sign for the server to shift the things away. She didn’t need them.

She also told Jim, “In the future, please don’t go to such an extent for me. I’m getting fatter, and I really don’t want to eat anything sweet. I’m also not hungry at such a late hour, and I shouldn’t be eating something as rich as caviar.”

Jim probably did it out of the kindness of his heart. He was simply showing concern for a pregnant lady.

Diana wondered if saying that would hurt him.

As she expected, Jim sounded angry. “You might not be hungry, but your babies need the nutrients.”

His words stunned Diana. Why did it sound so familiar…?

He sounded just like a mother-in-law who cared only for her grandson, and not her daughter-in-law… As if a pregnant lady was just a vessel with the aim of giving birth to babies.
