Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1449

Diana was confused.

James said, “Ms. Winnington, the professor has given instructions that you can only head out in vehicles belonging to the Hughes household. This is to prevent any accidents that might happen if you were to ride in other vehicles. You’re pregnant, and protecting you is a priority. It’s always good to be careful.”

He wasn’t wrong to say that, and Diana could sense the genuine concern in his voice.

Diana suppressed the strange feeling creeping up in her heart. She didn’t even have the capacity to sneer at James. All she could feel was an inexplicable chill down her spine.

“Yes, Ms. Winnington. The entire hotel is booked by Professor Hughes. We’ll be serving you exclusively until you give birth.”

From now until she gave birth…

Diana clearly told Jim that she would only be here for a few days.

Having heard the receptionist’s explanation, she thought about the ladies she met along the corridor and the strange happenings, and her face changed.
