Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229

Before Julian’s lips could curl into a smile, he cleared his throat loudly. His sudden action startled Diana, who dropped the spoon into the pot from shock.

“What is it now?” Diana asked, annoyed. She turned around, only to see Julian’s expression as black as the bottom of a burnt pot..

“It’s nothing. You can eat once you’re done cooking, but don’t serve it yet,” Julian said, his voice hard.” Kayla wouldn’t be happy if you did.”

After saying that, he left.

Mr. Carter saw Julian’s eyes closed tightly as he exited the kitchen, his handsome features crinkled together, and asked nervously, “Sir, do your eyes feel uncomfortable?”

In truth, Julian was annoyed with himself for saying those things earlier. Without realizing it, he blurted out, “Yes. My eyes hurt from looking at that ugly thing in the kitchen.”

Diana heard his words from inside the kitchen, and was confused. If Julian said she was ugly, wasn’t he calling Kayla ugly as well?

After all, the two sisters looked very much alike.

Apparently, Julian also realized his blunder. He immediately added, “I really don’t know why I mistook Diana for Kayla and kept her by my side for three years.”

At that, Diana’s grip on the spoon tightened until her knuckles turned white from the force. Nonetheless, she remained in the kitchen and did as she was ordered to without saying a word.

If her silence would make him less critical of her and lessen his attention on her, she would continue what she was doing. The less time she spent with him, the safer her babies would be.

No matter what he ordered her to do, she would do it willingly.

As these thoughts raced in her mind, the sandwich in her hand took shape. After a few days of practice, she had become more proficient in making them.

When it was brought to the table, even Kayla was surprised. “Diana’s cooking has improved.”

The good thing was, she was required to clean up after breakfast; which meant she had time to digest her meal. To not affect her babies too much, she worked slowly. After moving around a little, she felt her stomach ache.

It seemed she really did have too much for breakfast.

Diana took a short breather. Looking up, she noticed that the chrysanthemum flowers outside were in full bloom. She pondered for a moment before deciding to put down her cleaning tools, and then walked slowly to the garden.

She thought of picking the chrysanthemums and putting some in each room of the villa. It would look good, and walking would help her digest her food faster.

When Kayla saw the chrysanthemums in her room, the first thing she did was to throw them out.

“What’s all this rubbish? I don’t need cheap stuff in my room!”

These flowers could be found everywhere in the garden!
