Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1446

Jim’s words were strange, and Simon shuddered in discomfort. However, he wasn’t able to pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

Jim was temperamental. While he looked bookish on the outside, he was vicious through and through.

Simon said nothing more, and decided to just wait and see.

At the very least, he was right by Jim’s side. If Jim really made a move on Diana, he would find out immediately.

What Simon didn’t realize at that point was that his phone couldn’t receive any signal.

That was the case for Diana, too.

Her phone was no more than a block of metal.

She could surf the web and watch videos, but she was unable to leave comments, make calls, or log into her social media accounts.

It was the same even when she tried it out with Betty’s phone. She couldn’t contact Julian, and wondered if he even came at all.

Diana felt uneasy as she laid on the bed with Betty in her arms, trying to put her daughter to sleep. When Betty finally fell asleep, she in turn was unable to sleep.

She caressed her swollen tummy.

The thought of James losing his memory, of Simon being uncontactable, of how both hers and Betty’s phones were behaving strangely, all filled her with unease.

Diana held her stomach, then glanced at her daughter. She grabbed her phone, and walked out of the room. The door shut with a click.

The moment Diana left the room, Betty’s eyes popped open.

Daddy!

She had been waiting for Julian’s reply all day, but received nothing from him at all.

She cupped her chin in her palms and laid stomach-down on the bed, feeling slightly forlorn.

Diana could only comfort herself that way, but it did little to erase the uneasiness in her heart.

She felt her stomach tightening. She had a short cervix that often tensed up whenever she walked when she was pregnant. Now that she was an experienced mother, she felt bolder and became less cautious when she walked.

What’s more, she had been in a good mood since she arrived at Jacroaof. She was so busy walking around with Betty, she forgot about her two tormentors in her womb.

She had just taken a few mere steps when her babies started issuing her warnings.

Diana knew that she might have exercised too much over the past few days. She wasn’t in a rush to head downstairs, and instead sat down on a bench next to the elevator to rest.

As she took a break, she found it even stranger. Throughout the entire 10 minutes, she didn’t see the elevator move.

This hotel was situated in the city center, boasting mesmerizing cityscapes and fantastic word-of-mouth reputation. It was impossible that no one was around.

Yet this elevator seemed stuck in place, not moving an inch.
