Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 184

Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 184

However, the touch she so desperately yearned for never transpired.

On the contrary, she could only feel his cold finger against her face. “There’s something next to your mouth. I’ll remove it for you.”

Julian gently flicked his finger against her mouth. “It’s gone.”

Kayla distinctly remembered checking in the mirror multiple times to make sure her mouth was clean while she was waiting behind the door. How could there be anything on her face?

Kayla’s tears instantly fell. “Julian… Do you not like me?”

Why did he always refuse to touch her?

“That’s not true.” Julian ruffled her hair. He then removed his coat and draped it around her tear–soaked pajamas. “Didn’t I tell you? You’re too precious, so I can’t touch you so casually.”

Julian had spoken in a loud voice. However, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

He quickly turned around. “Who’s there?”

There was nobody in the corridor, but there was the sound of a door being closed from the direction of Diana’s bedroom.

Did she come out?

Diana returned to bed and closed her eyes, but she couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.

Initially, she planned to give back Julian’s phone to him. Unexpectedly, she bumped into that scene.

She had long known how she and Kayla were different. Yet, when she heard how affectionately Julian spoke to Kayla, and how he treated her with such gentleness… She couldn’t help but feel jealous.

In fact, Diana had experienced Julian’s heinous behavior on this bed on far too many occasions.

Back when they used to spend every night and at times every waking moment together… She wondered, was that a good or a bad thing?

She couldn’t be certain.

All she needed to do was to wait for Grandma to come and be the judge.

Meanwhile, in the villa downstairs, Kayla also retrieved her creation. She had already seen Diana’s work, so she was originally not very satisfied with her own design. However, Julian’s attitude was giving her more and more confidence…

It didn’t matter what she made. Regardless of the result, she would still be number one in his heart.

When Mr. Carter saw her beaming, he approached her with a mysterious smile. “Miss, I’m sure you’ll win today.”

Kayla raised her brows. “Oh?”

Mr. Carter had no clue that Diana had already discovered the pin. Seeing that no one was around, he quickly moved closer to Kayla and whispered, “I ruined Diana’s outfit. You’ll see how much trouble she’ll get herself into once Julian tries on your designs.”

Kayla looked approvingly at Mr. Carter. She handed him a gift card worth 1,500 dollars. “Mr. Carter, you’re getting old. You should buy yourself some supplements.”

Mr. Carter didn’t refuse, and accepted the card with a smile. “Thank you, Mrs. Fulcher.”

Kayla was overjoyed with the way he addressed her. Just as she was about to speak, someone behind her announced, “Madam Fulcher is here!”
