Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 314

Chapter 314

“Sure,” Julian replied easily.

Seeing that Diana was really embarrassed, he stopped teasing her and took the bowl of soup Mr. Carter handed him.

It was Greek lemon soup, which was especially good for pregnant women. He had checked the recipe personally and asked the chef to make it.

When Julian took the bowl, Mr. Carter’s heart was on edge. He was afraid Julian would keep that bowl for himself. Fortunately, the bowl with the drug in it eventually reached Diana.

She took a sip. “It tastes good.”

Soon, the bowl was empty.

Mr. Carter breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, and relaxed.

“Please enjoy your dinner, sir, ma’am. Feel free to call me if you need anything else.”

When Julian heard this, he raised his brows and shot Mr. Carter a sharp look.

All of a sudden, Mr. Carter felt like there were thousands of knives above his head. The pressure was so intense that he almost couldn’t lift his head. He couldn’t think of what to say in this situation, and prayed fervently that Julian couldn’t tell what was on his mind.

“Have you been overworked lately, Mr. Carter?”

Mr. Carter froze. “N–No, Sir.”

“If you’re tired, you can always request leave from me,” Julian said, turning away slowly.

It was rare to see Julian speaking in such a slow and intimidating manner. It meant that he was a little angry.

Mr. Carter didn’t understand what he had done to annoy Julian, and he didn’t dare to ask. He simply nodded repeatedly.

“Yes, sir.”

After Mr. Carter left, Diana asked, “Why are you acting like this with Mr. Carter?”

It was strange and scary to see Julian with such a cold look.

“It’s nothing,” Julian said, not wanting to talk about how he felt at the moment.

There was something strange going on with Mr. Carter. But since he was one of the oldest people in the Fulcher family and also Noel’s father, Julian shook off those thoughts.

“Maybe it’s just I’m not in a good mood lately. I won’t do it again.”
