Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458

Kayla sat in the backseat, watching the droplets continuously fall and join into a long line and pounded against the vehicle with a deafening noise.

Lucy was the first to leave the car.

"The autumn rain this year is so annoying!" she whined.

She was wearing new lambskin soft-soled shoes James had bought for her. When soaked, they were as good as ruined. She was in a terrible mood because of that.

"Yeah."

Kayla had been smiling the entire time, but it wasn't radiant or bright. It was ominous, and there was blatant malice in it. She looked at the bright yellow headstone not far away, and her smile widened.

"It seems even the heavens are helping me."

Every time she committed something heinous, it would be raining, which easily washed away traces of her wrongdoings. Moreover, the headstone for the two babies was so bright and prominent in the cemetery that she didn't even have to look for it.

Recently, the more James spent time with Kayla, the more fearful he felt.

"Kayla..." James said hesitantly. "Do you really intend to desecrate the grave?"

"What? Do you feel sorry for them?" Kayla sneered. 'Have you finally understood that Diana's your daughter?"

Kayla suddenly raised her voice. "Don't forget! She already knew that you deliberately lost her when she was a child! Even if you want to break away from Mommy and me now and jump ship, Diana will retaliate against you if you go to her now!"

Sticking to the path one had chosen to the end was better.

This was the second time Kayla had warned James.

Panic flashed through his well-preserved middle-aged man’s face.

"I didn't mean it that way, Kayla." James hurried to explain.

He only felt that Kayla's recent change had frightened him. In the past, he was the one who ordered her around. She and Lucy had always behaved submissively toward him; but lately, Kayla had been yelling and threatening him constantly.

It challenged his self-esteem and pride.

Strangely enough, when Kayla got angry, his own anger would dissipate.

"Don't be angry," James tried to coax her, his tone resigned. "You know I've always pinned my hopes on you. If you think something should be done, I'll do it for you."
