Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1449

Diana was confused.

James said, “Ms. Winnington, the professor has given instructions that you can only head out in vehicles belonging to the Hughes household. This is to prevent any accidents that might happen if you were to ride in other vehicles. You’re pregnant, and protecting you is a priority. It’s always good to be careful.”

He wasn’t wrong to say that, and Diana could sense the genuine concern in his voice.

Diana suppressed the strange feeling creeping up in her heart. She didn’t even have the capacity to sneer at James. All she could feel was an inexplicable chill down her spine.

“At this point…” Her face had turned pale, and she glared angrily at James. “Are you trying to protect me in my pregnancy, or monitoring me instead?”

With that, she stomped back into the hotel. She headed to the reception, and asked a question she did not ask before.

“Hello,” she greeted.

The receptionist saw Diana return, and straightened before greeting her back respectfully. “Ms. Winnington! How may I help you?”

“Your hotel… I seem to be the remaining guest in this hotel. Did this hotel turn into a luxurious jail overnight?”

However, she swallowed the question that was at the tip of her tongue, and asked instead, “Am I the only guest this hotel is serving right now?”

She went on with a smile, “You seem quite free, and I don’t see any guests around.”

The warm look in Diana’s eyes made the receptionist lower her guard, and she didn’t think much of it. She simply thought that Diana was someone very important to Jim.

Jim was probably a very close friend of Diana’s.

With that thought in mind, the receptionist didn’t neglect putting in a good word for Jim.

“Yes, Ms. Winnington. The entire hotel is booked by Professor Hughes. We’ll be serving you exclusively until you give birth.”

From now until she gave birth…

Diana clearly told Jim that she would only be here for a few days.

Having heard the receptionist’s explanation, she thought about the ladies she met along the corridor and the strange happenings, and her face changed.

Could her spontaneous trip to Jacroaof be in fact a trap she had unwittingly fallen into?

But Jim…

He told Cecilia about the conditions Lulu previously raised.

“I’m not getting any younger, and I’m dating with marriage in mind. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone on a blind date. If you marry me, my parents won’t have to live with us. The betrothal gifts…”

He paused for a moment to calculate the sum that he and his parents could fork out.

“We can offer $120,000. Your family may not be wealthy, but your parents have raised you well. They probably spent a lot of effort on you. You can just take this sum and give it to your parents for their retirement.”

Larry’s words made Cecilia all the more certain that he was a practical and sincere man. He was also unexpectedly considerate and thoughtful.

Although $120,000 wasn’t even enough to buy a bag, it was probably a significant sum to Larry. He didn’t chase after money like Noel did.

That made Cecilia even more pleased, and her voice subconsciously turned sweeter.

“Larry, are you making me give the money to my parents so I don’t need to visit them after we get married?”

“Of course not!” Larry said anxiously. “I’ll put you in my pocket and bring you everywhere you want to go, not to mention your parents’ home. We can even go back every other day if you wish.”

When the time came, he would bring her ashes everywhere. Her parents would definitely find him faithful and persistent, just as she thought of him right now!
