Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 640

Chapter 640

That meant Julian wanted seedless grapes.

The sadness that arose when thinking about the babies and Madam Fulcher was somewhat diluted by his presence.

Diana stood and appeared to want to rush downstairs. "I'll go buy it for you."

"No need." Julian saw her downcast expression brighten up, and a hint of delight flashed in his eyes.

He pointed to the bedside. "We have some right here, but these grapes still have seeds."

In other words, Diana had to peel each grape and remove the seeds individually.

"Nurses don't usually do this kind of work, do they?" Diana said as she looked at the fruits, contemplating when she would finish peeling them before glancing at him silently.

Without glancing at her, Julian reclined on the hospital bed and said, "But my nurse does this kind of work. I want her to do whatever I ask."

He raised an eyebrow. "You don’t want to?"

If she didn't, he would continue to be upset with her.

"...I want to," Diana said eventually, giving in.

Well, she was the one who didn’t believe him in the first place. She had feared he would favor Kayla over, or...

What if, just like his inability to find the abandoned area where she and Madam Fulcher were held hostage, he couldn't force Kayla to reveal the location of the ashes and couldn't retrieve them...?

However, Diana had forgotten.

Julian couldn't find the abandoned area in time because she and her grandmother were hostages.

He couldn't act freely.

He couldn't force Kayla to reveal the address where the captives were held.

Now, it was different.

Kayla had nothing left to bargain with, not even the debt of saving her life that disappeared with the stab wound she aimed at Julian.

What, then, was stopping him from forcing everything out of Kayla?

Diana realized all of this, and naturally felt even more guilty toward Julian.

She didn't dare to upset him right now. She wished he would quickly give her more tasks so he could vent his frustrations, and they could return to harmonious times.

"I'll peel them."

Diana washed her hands and sat at the edge of the bed, and started to peel the grapes diligently.
