Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1269

She asked such a sudden question, it took Jim by surprise.

He thought that if Diana continued probing further, he would come clean about how things between them started.

But now, she avoided the topic. Instead, she seized the chance to ask a question she was most concerned with.

“Professor Hughes. Since you investigated me, you must know who my biological parents are! Who are they and where are they right now?”

She had so many questions to ask him. She wanted to meet them, too.

She wanted to see if they were like these ordinary parents, filled with love and expectations for their children.

Or were they like James, abandoning her when she was young?

Her expectations and fantasies about her parents emerged quietly in her heart once more, in this crowded zoo where families gathered and enjoyed each other’s company.

“If I’m not James’s biological daughter, why do we look so alike?” she pressed.

“I haven’t found out the truth behind your questions,” Jim said, smiling comfortingly at her. However, his eyes turned cold.

He didn’t like Diana being so agitated. That wasn’t good for her fetuses.

He hoped Diana would be a qualified and worthy pregnant mother, all the more so a worthy ‘vessel’.

The fetuses in her stomach had to go through the most ideal pregnancy and the most stable and safe delivery as they came into this world.

Nothing bad should happen to the two fetuses before he made his selection as to which of the two he would take away.

Even their mother Diana had no right to allow any accidents to happen, or influence them negatively.

Jim didn’t like that.

His face turned dark.

He searched the entire villa, but didn’t find Diana.

“Mr. Fulcher,” Layla said as she stood right before him.

Julian stood still with a cold expression, which accentuated his sharp features Whenever Diana wasn’t around, he always looked so fearsome.

Although Layla had only just bidden Diana farewell, she suddenly missed the latter. She hoped that Diana would always stay by Mr. Fulcher’s side.

That way, Mr. Fulcher would always be in a good mood. In turn, that would make life easier for everyone working in Collina Villa.

“I think someone…” Layla paused for a moment when she saw Julian furrow his brows at her.

He clearly wanted her to go on.

Layla mustered up her courage, and said, “Someone gave Mrs. Fulcher a house, placing a property deed in a folder for her. Sir, don’t you think you should be more cautious and think of a gift for Mrs. Fulcher too?”
