Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 53

Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 53

Vans said that at times, the one who comes first, wins.

Diana came after Kayla, and was therefore doomed to fail.

The thought of that made Nina’s heart ache even more. “Stop seeing Kayla anymore.” The only thing she could do now was to preserve Diana’s last shred of dignity. “It’d be terrible if she had any wicked plans to hurt the baby.”

Diana nodded. “I know. I keep having this feeling that she isn’t as simple as Julian thinks she is.”

“But of course!” Nina said in a huff, deliberately trying to divert Diana’s attention. “She only just came back from abroad and managed to make Julian fall head over heels for her. We’d be underestimating her if we thought she was simple–minded!” She looked at Diana with worry–filled eyes. “Whatever it is, just remember not to meet her if you can.”

As long as Diana didn’t see Kayla’s face, even if she knew that Kayla is the reason Julian wanted to divorce her, the thought that she was a replacement would never enter her mind.

“Don’t worry.” Diana held Nina’s hands and placed them on her tummy. “Because of this baby, I’ve become stronger and more rational.”

Diana would prioritize the baby and her safety.

As for the woman whom Julian loves, Diana couldn’t afford to provoke her and wouldn’t go near her.

“That’s great!” Nina stood up, grabbed a bank card, and handed it to Diana. “I recently photographed a mega -celebrity and received 1.5 million dollars as hush money. Take it and use it first.”

Diana was shocked. “So much money?! Did you borrow it from Vans?”

“No!” Nina replied, aghast. “It’s really from the hush money I earned! Fresh from the oven!” She retrieved the photos she shot and showed them to Diana. “Look, the top female celebrity in a romantic affair is no small matter. They were generous, to say the least.”

Diana was stunned. “Why does that man in the photo…look rather familiar?”

Nina said doubtfully, “You know him?”

After everything was settled, she continued transferring the money to Julian, batch by batch, until her fingers and heart went numb.
