Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 981

Chapter 981

Julian hissed in pain. He was about to ask Diana what was going on, but before he could say anything, Diana's expression turned frantic.

"You're overthinking!" she said. "Why would I make this for you?"

She spoke loudly, her eyes darting to the window.

"Simon requested this stew for lunch today." Her voice was strained as she continued, "Julian, don't jump to conclusions. I didn't cook a portion for you."

At her words, the smile on Julian's face gradually faded. His complexion turned dark. "Diana!"

What was she doing?

The dissatisfaction that had been building up within him erupted.

"It's not just that you haven't smiled much at me these days.

I understand you're busy. But now, you even pushed me away and hurt my back. Forget expressing a word of concern for me, you're actually saying you didn't cook a portion for me?"

She used to love making soup and stew for him.

He had been looking forward to it since her return to Richburgh. He had also urged her to make it for him. Yet every time, she claimed she was busy.

And she really was.

She had to juggle work and take care of the children-and now, Simon was added to the mix.

The more she acted like this, the worse Julian felt.

"He just said it at noon, but you hurried to make it for him."

He glanced discreetly into the pot.

He didn't need to imagine how complicated it was to make this stew. The recipe was different from her usual normal beef stew. Even the ingredients were tricky to handle.

How else could she bring together so many diverse components, and still come up with such a beautiful color?
