Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 201

Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 201

Mr. Carter said, “It was Miss Kayla. She wanted to give Madam some milk to help her sleep, but… Not only was Madam sarcastic in her tone, but she also refused to open her door. Miss Kayla stubbornly stood outside the door, refusing to leave. She genuinely treats Madam very well.”

When Julian heard this, he immediately stood up and headed toward the bedroom, dark clouds looming over his head.

When he reached the second floor, he heard Diana’s voice through the door. “It sounds terrible. Kayla, can you please leave?”

“Diana Winnington!” Julian pulled Kayla behind him and kicked the door hard. “How rude of you!”

Kayla was kind–hearted enough to give her milk before bed, yet she sounded so cold!

He never knew her to be so mean–spirited!

Diana was stunned. Was Julian here?

Why was she even surprised?

She should’ve known that every time Kayla extended goodwill to her, the latter would certainly make sure that Julian knew about it.

It was her fault for not being careful with her words with Kayla, who was adept at acting the victim and causing trouble for herself.

But…

Diana looked at the door that he almost kicked down, and anger boiled in her heart. “Stop kicking!”

Who would be at fault for scaring the baby?

She would open the door, alright?!

Bam!

Julian stared at the door that was suddenly flung open. Out of instinct, he pounced forward and…

Collapsed right on the floor.

Diana retreated just in time and avoided colliding with him. She flashed him an apologetic smile.

“I’d rather you not smile,” Julian’s imposing aura was in no way reduced by the fact that he was sprawling on the floor.

This man…

‘What a devil,‘ Diana muttered in her heart.

“I really didn’t do it on purpose.” Diana stopped smiling as he requested, and even signaled for Kayla to come over and help Julian up.

Kayla was frightened by the turn of events, and only snapped back to attention when she saw Diana gesturing to her. She pushed Diana away and exclaimed, “Julian, are you alright?”

Julian wasn’t sure if he had the wrong idea, but he kept having the feeling that she had become more and more aggressive.

The look in her eyes had become stronger and firmer, too.

After so many things that happened, she was strong indeed, even more so than he had thought.

At the same time, the distance between them…

They seemed to be getting further and further, even though they were standing so close to each other.

Unhappiness brewed in Julian’s heart as he took the glass of milk in his hand. “Kayla’s worried about you.

Don’t let her kind intentions be in vain.”

Kind intentions?

Diana didn’t see it that way.

After what happened at the birthday party, she was extremely careful with anything she consumed at places where Kayla was present at.

“Thank you, but I need some rest now and I don’t need any milk.”

She glanced at the door that was kicked open and said, “Mr. Fulcher, I’ll have to trouble you to arrange for someone to repair the door tomorrow.”
