Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295

In the face of James’s question, Kayla could only give a fake smile and reply, “There’s no such thing! Have you forgotten the main reason Julian married Diana in the first place?”

Of course it was because of Kayla! James knew that.

The Fulchers had their eyes on Kayla since she was a child. They had shown favor and kindness toward her, and James had been elated about it.

When Kayla went missing abroad later on, he saw how frantic Julian became while he searched for her.

“Of course not,” James said with a wide smile, the suspicion in his words gradually fading. “I suppose Diana pestered Julian and refused to let go. She was definitely lying to me just now. She really is an unruly child who grew up outside our family. She’s so uneducated!”

Kayla pouted. “Daddy, don’t talk about my sister like that!”

“Ah! You’re such a kind–hearted child, Kayla.” James chuckled, a fond look on his face. Kate leaned closer to him, trying to hear Kayla’s voice through the phone.

The Winnington couple looked like completely different people now compared to when they were dealing

with Diana.

“Okay, enough of that. How are you feeling?” Kate said after she had snatched the phone out of James’s hand.

Kayla, however, wasn’t in the mood for small talk. She couldn’t wait to talk to Lucy, her true mother. She wanted to properly discuss with Lucy how to deal with Diana’s baby.

If Kayla let things go on as they were, the unease in her heart would only continue to grow.

Diana sneezed a couple of times on her way home. Thinking it was the cold weather, she quickly put on her coat when she arrived home. Unexpectedly, Julian was there.

After yesterday’s discussion, Diana felt a little awkward if she ignored him, so she cleared her throat. “You’re not busy today, I see.”

“Yeah,” Julian replied, looking at her. “There’s nothing much going on at work.”

Having said that, he patted the empty spot beside him on the couch. “Come sit with me for a while?”
