Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 55

Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 55

Diana found what Kate said entirely laughable. The Winningtons joined hands and forced her into a corner, and that was supposed to be good for her? Helping her?

The outcome of their last meeting was still clear in her mind. This time, Diana was guarded against Kayla. Her eyes were slightly narrowed as she asked calmly, “Will this be the same as what happened before, when Julian misunderstood and thought I was the one who took the initiative to meet up with Kayla with the intention of hurting her, so that he’d make life hell for me?”

It would’ve been a foolish move on her part. “No,” she said expressionlessly. “If I stayed there and upset Kayla, what would happen? Wouldn’t everyone skin me alive?”

Her statement made Julian swallow the words in his throat.

“It’s good that you remember your lesson from last time.” Julian hesitated for a moment and rubbed his nose uneasily. “Whatever it is, it’s better that you don’t see them.”

He didn’t want Diana to collapse as she did last night. He only felt relieved when Noel reported to him that
