Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97

The implication behind the maid’s words was that they only recognized Kayla as the sole young lady of the Winnington family. The deeper meaning behind it was that the servants hadn’t been able to tell Diana and Kayla apart before, but now they could.

It was a pity that Diana didn’t catch the meaning. She even followed up with, “Yes, I don’t think we look very similar either.”

After all, how could two women unrelated by blood look similar to each other?

Diana shook her head and dismissed the maid before walking into the cloakroom. “Yes, Mom. I’m here.”

“Why are you still standing outside? Come on in!” Kate urged.

Diana had no idea what Kate and Kayla were doing inside, except that it was a bit of a novelty to meet Kayla for the first time in such a private place as a cloakroom. She felt happy the entire time she made her way here, and that happiness only increased when she saw Kate holding up a dress with a smile.

It was the first time Diana felt the true meaning of the saying that blood was thicker than water, and what it meant to deeply desire motherly love.

“Where’s Kayla?” Diana asked with a smile. She looked around, but saw no sign of the other woman. “Where

is she?”

“She’s gone into the fitting room,” Kate replied, pointing down to a small suite in the cloakroom. “Come here. I’ve picked out two identical dresses for you two. Try this on.”

Diana froze. “Why do you want us to wear the same dress?”

“The one you’re wearing now is dirty,” Kate replied curtly, not liking how Diana questioned her. “Besides, you’re sisters meeting officially for the first time. Wearing the same dress will make things less intimidating. Everyone will look at you two in envy when you go downstairs later.”

Diana didn’t expect Kate to consider such a thing. “Kayla and I… We’re not close sisters. Also, my dress got dirty at the hospital because of an emergency. I didn’t have time to change.”
