Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39

People she met on the way would greet her. “Young Mistress.”

“Young Mistress.”

Diana looked at her mother, who kept her head down and was walking in front of Diana, and felt a slight sense of belonging. Whenever a maid walked by, Diana would smile in acknowledgement.

However, those maids seemed a little surprised. They evidently walked faster after seeing her nod in their

direction.

Diana didn’t think much of it. Although this wasn’t her first time coming to the Winnington family’s house, it was the first time she’d stayed here without getting into an argument. This feeling of warmth didn’t come easy. And so, Diana appreciated it a lot.

After walking through a 30–feet–long corridor, Diana and Kate finally arrived in the dining room. There was a large, round table in the dining room. It looked much more suitable for a big family than the long table in the Fulcher family’s dining room.

“Have a seat.” Kate might not have a lot to say, but she no longer seemed as angry as before. Diana could sense Kate was actually being nice.

Diana looked around in the dining room, but her gaze eventually landed on Kate once again.

She suddenly felt as if she was stuck in a trance.

So… This was what it felt like to sit with her own mother at the dining table.

Diana felt warm in her chest. She removed her earrings. “Here. These are for you.”

Kate seemed a little surprised. “Why are you giving these to me?”

“I didn’t bring any gifts today.” Diana knew Kate liked the earrings, but she didn’t want to make it too obvious. “I wasn’t considerate enough. Just keep them.”

These earrings were high–quality triple–loop jade earrings. Kate had a look of pleasant surprise in her eyes, and her smile grew wider. “Oh, silly child. This is your home. Why are you being so polite?”

Diana glanced at Kate with surprise. She couldn’t believe Kate would say something like this.

Suddenly, she regretted not having visited Kate once since she got married.

Kate might have been waiting for her to show her vulnerable side. As long as Diana took the first might try to accept her. After all, they were mother and daughter.
