Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297

“You still love me, don’t you?”

This didn’t sound like something Julian would say. Even if he made Diana’s heart ache or hurt her countless times, she knew she couldn’t bring herself to hate him completely.

But now, hearing these words from his mouth only made her sick.

“Why do you say that?”

“If you didn’t love me, you wouldn’t keep our children.”

The anger in Diana’s eyes burned brighter, and she spat defensively, “I’ll repeat it once again… The babies are mine. They have nothing to do with you.”

Julian reached out to try to calm her, intending to massage her again to get her to relax. However, she flinched violently and ducked to the side to avoid his touch.

He was exasperated at her reaction, but said firmly, “It’s our children.”

Sure enough, Julian planned to take her babies from her even before they were born! That was why he changed the way he treated her so much after finding out she was pregnant. So much so, he even suggested not getting a divorce!

Diana’s chest heaved rapidly as her anger climbed higher, and her nose felt hot with how fast she was breathing.

“Did you say anything to Kayla about not getting a divorce?”

Julian’s face turned cold at the mention of Kayla. “I’ll deal with her.”

Deal…?

What a cruel word to use!

Diana’s next words were filled to the brim with sarcasm. “Deal with her? Are you going to deal with her as you dealt with me?!”

Julian choked on her words. He hadn’t meant it that way!

He simply meant he would make sure everything worked out properly, and made sure all three of them had at clear destination and ended at the end of the day.

Julian had only wanted to reply quickly, and hadn’t used the proper words to convey his thoughts well enough.

When Diana saw him go silent, she assumed she had hit the nail on the head. She didn’t hide her disappointment and said, “I once thought that you loved me. I thought you loved me so much, but later I realized that I was just a joke and a stand–in. After that, I thought you loved Kayla more than anything in the world. But looking at it now… It seems your love is nothing more than that. Julian, you don’t love anyone but yourself! You do whatever you please according to your mood without a care for anyone!”

But looking at Julian’s troubled and helpless expression, Diana started to doubt and wondered if she had said something wrong. She was also a little afraid he might do something to the babies after her outburst.

The wariness in her eyes didn’t disappear, and Julian sighed.

“You should get some rest.”

He had been the one to have rushed it too fast.

“But you should consider what I said a little more.”

Julian really did want to live a good life with Diana.

Regarding Kayla, it was more complex than he said. After all, he owed her his life. In the past, although he was sure it wasn’t love, he did harbor some feelings toward her. Whether it was gratitude or habit, he definitely didn’t plan on washing his hands off her and throwing her aside.

Perhaps it was because the sincerity in his eyes was too genuine to be faked, or perhaps it was because Diana had never seen him in such a helpless state before. Even his brows looked awfully flat….

Diana’s heart clenched painfully.
