Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92

“After Nina wakes up, tell her not to take so many secret photos of us. That’ll be the best way she can repay me.” Oliver made it sound like a quid pro quo. He took a step to the side and kept a gentlemanly distance from Diana. “Shall we?”

His words lifted the burden on Diana’s shoulders. “Okay. I’ll have a proper talk with Nina about this. Thank you so much for your help.”

Diana was indeed afraid that something bad might happen if she went to the party alone. She would feel a lot more confident with Oliver with her.

Upon reaching the Winnington residence, Diana was surprised to find the Winningtons treating her better than ever.

Kate was waiting at the door for her, seemingly for a long time. Instead of getting angry with her for being late,

she lovingly held out her hand to tuck a stray lock of hair behind Diana’s ear. “Why so messy? Quickly go to your room and tidy yourself up.”

She sounded just like any other mother showing care and concern for her daughter, Diana.

However, Diana was not used to Kate’s affectionate behavior.

She subtly avoided Kate’s touch and tucked the lock of hair behind her ear again. She pulled out a box made of rosewood and said, slightly anxious, “This is a brooch. It’s your birthday present.”

Because she was hospitalized, she was unable to return to the mansion and personally pick out a gift. She was slightly worried that Kate might not fancy it.

Thankfully, the moment Kate saw the carved rosewood box, she could tell that it wasn’t cheap goods. She immediately pulled Diana into the house, her face full of smiles. She went around introducing Diana to everyone at the party. “This is Diana, my poor child who was lost for many years.”

Although there was an uproar when Diana knocked on their doors to seek her family three years ago, forget introducing her officially, the Winningtons had never acknowledged her identity as one of them.

Although Diana couldn’t figure out why Kate was treating her like this, she remained standing obediently next to Kate, nodding and smiling to everyone she met.

She wore a champagne colored dress with a V–neck and folds down her waist to hide her growing belly. Its satin material looked soft and velvety, effectively highlighting her gentle and classy aura.

Some people gazed in awe at Diana and asked Kate in disbelief, “Is this the same Diana who came from the countryside?”
