Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 503

The injury on Kayla's face ached, but she maintained her smile.

"I see... I was only worried Diana would be unhappy when you called me that."

Kayla knew she couldn't say too much now, afraid that Julian would catch on to the meaning behind her words. Some things were better off left unsaid.

Julian obviously didn't care about it as he asked, "By the way, about Diana coming to see you today... Are you sure you didn't do anything to anger her?"

It seemed Julian really didn't know about Kayla digging up the babies’ grave.

A thrill of satisfaction washed over Kayla, and she inwardly thanked Diana for making a move on her today. If they had talked about it, Julian might have killed her where she stood!

Diana had brought this all upon herself.

Kayla smiled and said, "We haven't even seen each other recently. Now that we're not in the same company, I don't have a chance to provoke Diana even if I wanted to."

She was speaking frankly, which was rare. As such, Julian didn't delve further into the subject; rather, he felt that perhaps Kayla was becoming more sensible. More than anyone, he hoped Kayla could return to her naive and kind self from the past.

"When you have a real fiance and are about to get married, I'll prepare a generous dowry for you."

Kayla didn't dare to refute his words and say she wouldn't marry anyone but him, but her smile had dimmed. "Okay. Thank you, Julian."

"It's late. You should rest," Julian said, giving her a look.

Her wounds needed time to heal.

"Okay."

As Kayla turned around, she saw a reflection on the balcony glass. Although it was a little blurry, she could vaguely make out two figures.

Kayla quickly stumbled and fell into Julian's arms the moment she turned around, touching his hand as she did so.

A trace of anger surged through him, but when Kayla looked up at him, he softened a little due to the resemblance of her face with Diana's.

"What's with you? Why are you so careless?" Julian said as he helped her up.

Though he hadn't exploded in anger, the displeasure in his tone was evident.
