Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81

He had always loved and cherished Kayla. Despite that, why couldn’t he feel any joy when they spent time together? Why would his entire body stiffen up uncomfortably instead?

On the flipside, he would experience immense joy each time he was with Diana.

Was it really because he doesn’t like Diana and therefore doesn’t treasure her and instead wants to bully her and be possessive over her?

Julian’s brows were knitted tightly together as his mind raced. This time, instead of pushing Kayla away, he took the initiative to draw her closer and kiss her forehead gently. “Sweet dreams.”

Bathed in the silver moonlight, he appeared even more handsome and suave.

Kayla desperately wanted to return him a kiss and leave her mark on his body. However, she knew that now wasn’t the time. Loraine had taught her that men would always desire things they couldn’t get.

So, she simply lowered her head coyly. “Go on. I’ll watch you leave before I head back home.”

It was only when Julian entered his car that she disappeared into the darkness.

However, Julian didn’t continue the trip. Instead, he instructed Noel to stop the car after making a turn.

Kayla didn’t rest for the night after returning to her place.

Instead, she eagerly fished out her phone and called Lucy. [1]

“Mom,” she said as she cried uncontrollably, “there’s a change of plans. I’m meeting Diana the day after tomorrow, in the afternoon. You’ll have to rearrange our plan.”

Lucy could sense something wrong in Kayla’s tone, and pressed further.

Kayla told Lucy about Julian’s visit earlier. “Thank god I came back in time from your place! If he saw that I wasn’t home and asked where I went, I wouldn’t be able to answer him. That would’ve been a disaster!”

Lucy nodded. “Kayla, you’re destined for a smooth–sailing life. Way better than Diana, that’s for sure!”
