Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171

The following day, there was still no sign of Diana. There had also been no delivery boy bringing takeaway to

the villa.

She just had a miscarriage. She couldn’t have fainted from not having anything to eat or drink for long, could she?

When Julian returned from work and noted again that it was only him and Kayla sitting down for dinner, he couldn’t take it anymore.

“I’ll go upstairs and check on her.”

Kayla looked at the untouched food before Julian and said unhappily, “You should eat, Julian. I’ll go check on her.”

“She won’t open the door for you,” Julian said as he gestured for Mr. Carter to bring the room key. “I’ll go. You should eat.”

It sounded like he was saying this for her sake, but in reality…

His heart and mind just weren’t here anymore.

He wanted to see Diana.

Kayla clearly noticed this, and she gritted her teeth harshly as she chewed her food. She wasn’t willing to take things lying down like this, so she quickly put down her cutlery and said, “I’m also very worried. I’ll go with

you.”

With that, the two of them made their way upstairs. When they reached the door, Julian made Kayla stay back as he slowly unlocked the door and pushed it open.

The room was dark; Julian looked around several times but couldn’t find Diana. His heart clenched tightly when he couldn’t see her, and he quickly stepped inside the room.

As he walked in hurriedly, he felt like he had stepped on something. However, he couldn’t bring himself to care because all his attention was on finding Diana.

She hadn’t left the room in two days, nor had she eaten or drank anything. Had she fainted?

Julian tried to call Diana sternly and wake her up, but her eyes slid close again while her arms were still outstretched.

Before this, Diana had treated Julian coldly and even refused vehemently to admit her fault. Now, she suddenly wanted him to hug her.

Was this woman really pretending to be asleep?

Julian considered this fact, then took a pillow and put it in her arms before saying sullenly, “Are you trying to soften me up with this method so I won’t care about you pushing Kayla?”

What a devious plot!

The soft texture of the pillow in her arms and Julian’s cold voice snapped Diana out of her sleep. Realizing what she had done out of habit, she was embarrassed for a moment but also annoyed. Her eyes snapped open, and she shot Julian an impatient look. “You’re insane.”

Did she need to go through all that trouble for them?

“Who are you calling insane?” Julian was angry at her words. “You wanted me to hug you, and I didn’t, so now I’m insane?”

It was only a habit she had developed over the years, and she didn’t realize what she had done because she had been half asleep. Rolling her eyes indifferently, she didn’t understand why Julian was holding on to this matter. “I’m sleepy. Please leave.”

She wasn’t a monkey, so she didn’t want them ogling at her like she was a zoo display.
