Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1219

Chapter 1219

So far, none of the reliable police officers Julian had contacted had shown up.

When it came to Julian, something like this was almost unheard of.

It could only mean that someone had interfered behind the scenes.

"Thank you, Professor Hughes," Julian said.

With how close Diana seemed to Jim, Julian arranged a banquet in the Fulcher Manor to express his gratitude. Enzo and Tommy also followed them.

However, there was a notable difference-while their group sat at the dining table, Enzo and Tommy remained kneeling on the floor.

Diana was very uncomfortable with this situation. Whenever she thought about her son's injuries and Julian's near escape, however, her distress overwhelmed her.

Jim could only treat injuries that had been caused by the unknown pills they had consumed; he couldn't address other injuries.

Sean's injuries had been assessed by the family doctor, who performed a CT scan at their home. The little child had bruising on his chest from the kick.

If Diana wasn't pregnant, she would have been tempted to kick Enzo's chest for good measure.

The meal was heavy.

The tension continued until the dinner concluded, and they bade farewell to Jim. Meanwhile, Enzo and Tommy were still kneeling in the yard.

Diana showed no sympathy as she held Julian's arm, leading him upstairs. "Let them kneel until their knees give out. You and the kids have taken your medication, so you should rest early."

Julian nodded. "After all, Enzo is Jim's man. Kneeling here indefinitely isn't a solution. Did he say how to handle this?"

Diana removed Julian's shirt, and tossed it into the laundry basket. "He did. He told me to handle it as I see fit."

Julian clicked his tongue. "I can't help but find Jim's appearance suspicious."

His large hand roamed around her waist. "Don't you feel it? Your waist is almost twice its normal size."

The children were still so small, not even fully formed yet. And her waist was turning into a barrel!

Diana shivered involuntarily, deeply disappointed.

"Well then, starting tomorrow, I'll take one less bite at every meal. I'll try not to eat starchy foods and focus on high- protein foods."

"What? No!" Julian applied a bit of pressure to her waist." Don't think about those things. No matter how you look, you're always the most beautiful woman in the world. You've been skinny all your life. Let me experience having a curvier wife."

"Oh...?" Diana's voice trailed off. "You want me to gain weight, so you can have a different experience with the same woman?"

"Exactly," Julian agreed, not denying it at all. He continued playfully, "Are you going to let me experience it or not?"

Julian was being so cringeworthy, it made goosebumps rise on Diana's skin. In less than a minute, she immediately raised her hands in surrender.
