Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169

“Oh dear…” Kayla purposely looked at Diana with huge, innocent eyes. “Are you unhappy I’m here, Diana? If

you are, I can… leave…”

Diana froze in pain. She didn’t have time to think about why Kayla was acting up again and could only feel the stinging soreness on her feet.

After all, Kayla was wearing heels.

It was fortunate Diana was sitting down. If she had been standing up, Kayla’s action might have caused her to fall

When Diana thought of that outcome, her face twisted into an unsightly look. She shoved Kayla away, snarling, “You’re crazy! Get off me!”

Kayla collapsed to the ground in one smooth motion and looked at Diana with an aggrieved expression. Her voice was muffled as she cried, “D–Diana W–why?

“What’s the point of pretending?” Diana was unused to seeing her in this state. “You clearly stepped on my foot first. I didn’t cry from that, yet you are?!”

Besides, Diana hadn’t used a lot of strength when she pushed Kayla. Yet, Kayla sat on the ground as if she was hurt. Who would she put on an act for?

-Julian!

Sure enough, Diana turned around to meet a pair of angry, dark eyes.

She should have realized that Kayla wouldn’t kick up a fuss with her without any reason.

“Kayla, does it hurt?” Julian came to her side and helped her up, looking pained, as though Kayla’s pain was his own. His whole body was tense with anxiety. “How about your throat? Does it feel worse? You’ve been crying a lot lately.”

Kayla sobbed and fell into Julian’s arms. “Julian. I’m fine. I settled in your house when it was obviously not my place before this, and I came here today uninvited. It’s only natural Diana would be angry with me.”
