Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36

Suffice to say, Kate was ashamed of Diana.

Diana was also the reason why other rich housewives criticized Kate for not being a good mother and not deserving her seat among them. In fact, someone even pointed out that only a woman from a small town like Kayla would pass on hillbilly–like genes to her daughter, which happened to be Diana.

People only stopped saying such things after Diana married into the Fulcher family. However, this was only the case when Diana didn’t show up in Kate’s life.

All things considered, Kate wouldn’t possibly be welcoming of Diana.

Besides…

Thanks to Diana, Kate was humiliated by Julian a few days ago.

If it wasn’t for Kayla, whose heart went out to Kate, who cried and begged Julian not to hurt Diana, she might’ve been beaten up and end up with swollen cheeks!

The thought of Kayla brought a certain gentleness to Kate’s eyes. She no longer sounded as annoyed as she did before. “Why are you here again?”

Even if Diana had expected Kate to behave coldly to her, she still felt hurt by Kate’s dismissive attitude.

Despite that, she put on a brave face. In fact, she even had an imposing manner. “It’s not a big deal. I’m only here for my alimony.”

Kate’s eyes went wide. “Alimony? Are you out of your mind? Why should we pay you any alimony?”

“You gave

birth to me.” Diana found Kate’s questions to be funny. “When I needed my family the most, you all lived comfortably at home. Can’t I even ask for alimony as my compensation?”

Surprisingly, Kate didn’t immediately lose her temper. On the contrary, this was the first time she took the initiative to invite Diana into the Winnington family’s house. “Let’s talk inside.”

There was even a hint of gentleness in her voice.

This was the way Diana imagined her mother would speak to her in the past.
