His indifference when he mentioned the divorce was gone, and he was basically half-kneeling on the ground in order to find the most comfortable angle for her. It was very difficult for his long legs to be between the ground and the edge of the bed.
Yet, he still looked like a divine being.
His fingertips were slightly cold, but his voice was warm. “Remember to apply the medicine three times a day in the future.”
He wouldn’t be helping her anymore.
Diana could hear the meaning behind his words, but she couldn’t tell whether she felt sweet or bitter at this moment.
She could only respond passively and hurriedly looked away, out of fear that her reluctance would be revealed. She pretended to be calm and said, “I got it.”
There was no reason she wouldn’t do things good for her.
“Mr. Carter.” Julian heaved a sigh of relief for no reason when he heard Diana’s answer. However, he also felt a little disappointed.
Had Diana adapted so quickly?
It didn’t seem like she needed him at all; as if she could live well without him.
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes, causing the temperature of the room to drop several degrees. His voice became a little louder. “Come in and clean Madam’s room.”
Diana found it quite odd.
She did not only find Julian’s uncertain mood to be a little strange today, but she was also surprised at his order — as the butler, it was not Mr. Carter’s job to do such trivial things as cleaning the room.
Mr. Carter was obviously puzzled as well. He thought he had heard wrongly just now, so he asked, “Sir, do you need someone to come in and clean the room now?”
“Why?” Julian had a sharp look in his eyes as he gazed at Mr. Carter, and his cold voice became even more domineering as he asked, “Will it tire you out if you clean Madam’s room yourself?”
He had never been so aggressive toward Mr. Carter before.
Sweat instantly bathed Mr. Carter’s forehead. He glanced at Diana, who was lying on the bed, and then at Julian, who was still organizing the medical kit personally, as if he did not understand what Julian meant.
“Sir…”
He did not understand why Julian was still concerned about Diana when Kayla was back. Kayla was obviously the person Julian loves.
Diana was just a stand-in.
Rather, she should leave the Fulcher family as soon as possible.
Julian should be with Kayla, a simple-minded girl who had lived a simple life.
Diana wasn’t even liked by her own biological parents. She wasn’t good enough for Julian.
However, Julian did not ascertain Mr. Carter’s doubts.
He simply said sharply, “Mr. Carter must know his place, regardless of whether we divorce or not.”
No matter how long Mr. Carter had worked for him, the man should not be making any decision for him.
Mr. Carter couldn’t treat Diana so coldly.
At this moment, Mr. Carter finally understood.
Even though he still felt upset for Kayla, he still lowered his head and said, “Madam, I’m sorry for stopping you outside the old mansion today…”
That banquet was held for Kayla, and Julian’s subordinates who had watched him and Kayla grow up together since they were young, also attended.
All of Julian’s friends were there too.
Therefore, Mr. Carter rightfully thought that Diana would be completely abandoned.
He naturally couldn’t hide the contempt in his heart, and he also didn’t want Diana’s appearance to ruin Kayla’s good mood.
Unexpectedly, Julian noticed all this.
Julian also noticed that Mr. Carter had been a little slow when he brought the medical kit just now.
Mr. Carter’s heart was thumping madly, and suddenly, he couldn’t figure out Julian’s thoughts.
Then again, he was never able to get Julian’s thoughts right from the time he was in charge of the Fulcher family anyway.
It would be better for him to obey all of Julian’s commands without fail.
Diana felt a little uneasy when she saw the old man lowering his head in front of her to admit his mistake. She waved at him again and again as she said, “It’s… It’s okay, Mr. Carter…”
He usually treated her well.
