Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 708

Diana didn’t speak in the nicest tone.

The caller on the other end didn’t care, though, and went on, “It’s my brother’s birthday today and you’re still not up yet?”

His brother’s birthday?

Who was Julian Fulcher’s brother?

Simon Channing!

Diana’s heart leapt as she glanced guiltily at Julian.

She immediately ran out of the study, closed the door, and leaned against the wall. With a guilty conscience, she hissed, “Who’s your brother?! Whether Julian acknowledges you as his brother or not is a completely different matter! Don’t just call him your brother like that.”

“Oh, so he’s not my brother and you’re not my sister-in-law.”

Diana sighed. “What exactly do you want?”

It was so annoying how he always managed to pick the most critical point of time to interrupt her and Julian.

Simon deliberately ignored the annoyance in her voice and said shamelessly, “Miss Winnington, may I ask you out for lunch today?”

May he?

Of course he may not!

Today was Julian’s birthday.

What’s more, she had to explain things about Simon clearly to Julian and resolve the misunderstanding that had been brewing between them over the past few days.

“I’m not going.” She knew Simon was harboring ill intentions in picking this day of all days to call her. Her brows furrowed in anger as she snarled, “In future, don’t ever…”

Before she could say “contact me again”, someone snatched her phone away.

It was Julian.

He grabbed the phone from Diana and put it against his ear.

“My brother.” Simon heard the change in the sound of breathing and immediately guessed who was on the phone. “Happy birthday to you.”

Who else in this whole world aside from Simon would call him brother?

Over these few days, Julian had been trying not to think about this. He didn’t go looking for Simon, either.

He didn’t expect Simon to come knocking on his door.
