Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1279

Layla was busy setting the table. The Fulcher family had many traditions; they had different tablecloths for every meal, a rule established by the late Madam Fulcher. She believed that anyone who enjoyed their meals was someone who loved life. As an elderly lady, she wanted to be one who loved life.

Now, she was gone, but her habits and spirit remained forever.

Diana watched Layla bustling around, and suddenly felt her eyes welling up with tears.

Julian had followed behind her. Upon seeing her standing still, he understood her emotions instantly. He held her hand again.

"Let's not argue anymore, okay? If Grandma finds out, she might want to take me away in her dreams tonight."

"...What nonsense are you spouting?"

Madam Fulcher wouldn't want to take her beloved eldest grandson away so early.

"Are you not angry anymore?"

Seeing Diana talking to him again, a smug smile graced Julian's lips. Before Diana could react, he swiftly planted a kiss on her cheek.

Their affectionate relationship was well known within the Fulcher family, but such intimacy was rarely displayed so openly in front of others. Today, everyone around them was getting a taste of it. They also witnessed the look in Julian’s eyes—one that showed that Diana was the only person in his world.

"Don't worry," Julian said. He embraced her, and they returned to their affectionate state, walking toward the chairs at the dining table. "In two weeks, I’ll definitely satisfy you."

He said it as if they were discussing their dinner plans. With so many people around, Diana couldn't refute him. All she could do was blush and pinch his hand lightly.

Diana became a bit nervous as Julian mentioned this.

Julian had a more relaxed attitude about the houses since the transfer had already been completed, but Diana still had some reservations. The houses were incredibly expensive, and transferring them back would incur significant expenses.

Diana had a thrifty lifestyle, and considered this expenditure unnecessary.

She explained, "I can accept keeping the houses, but the shares... They’re too important. I can't imagine participating in high-level company or shareholder meetings to vote on important decisions. I have no knowledge about Fulcher Inc.'s business, and I'm not capable of handling such important matters."

Julian replied confidently, "What's wrong with you participating? When the time comes, you can sit on my lap. We'll see who dares to pull you down."

Diana blinked. "...You really want me to sit on your lap during important meetings?"
