Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 534

Chapter 534

The night was silent.

The only light in the villa that was still on was the bedroom light.

Diana turned around and saw that Simon had already driven away, so she planned to return the same way she came from.

However, a servant noticed her and quickly greeted her. "Ma'am.'

It was truly strange.

Everyone she encountered was a stranger; yet without exception, they all referred to her as "ma’am" as if she had never divorced Julian.

But with just a little more reasoning in her mind, it became clear that she wasn’t the one they were actually referring to. However, Diana couldn't be bothered to explain to them that she wasn't Kayla or Julian's fiancee.

She simply responded calmly, ’Yes.’

Upon hearing this, the servant's eyes instantly lit up. He hurriedly bowed and gestured to Diana, saying, "Please head upstairs, ma’am. The master has been waiting for you."

Did Julian know she would come?

Had he tacitly accepted her as Kayla's replacement, allowing her to reappear by his side?

Perhaps this was why she wasn't held accountable for ruining Kayla's appearance.

Julian... Perhaps he saw not pursuing the matter of Kayla's disfigurement as a deal between him and Diana.

After all, he loved Kayla so much. He probably couldn't accept that she had been disfigured, and might be using Diana as a way to see Kayla in her perfect appearance once more.

The thought brought forth a great sense of humiliation over Diana, and her breathing grew ragged. Even the smile on her face turned bitter instantly.

A substitute...

She silently repeated the word several times, feeling like her mouth and heart were being squeezed tightly. The suffocating sensation from before returned with great vengeance.

But this time, being Kayla's substitute was a path she had chosen herself. She slowly turned around and headed upstairs as the servant led the way.

Being a substitute was something she had once despised, yet here she was now, actively trying to be one.

She was like a guest, walking through this villa that Julian had designed with his own hands. It was both unfamiliar and familiar at the same time.
