Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 360

Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 360

Even though Mr. Carter had unintentionally preserved Diana’s fertility by changing the medication, the

babies were already weak from the shock during her early pregnancy. This was followed by the musk that had caused her stomachache, and then Kayla’s drug.

To Kayla, Diana and the babies were no longer a threat.

After Julian got crippled, Kayla could hand Diana as a gift to Luke.

That was most likely the condition in the deal between Kayla and Luke.

Julian would never forget how Luke had looked at Diana, which was why he had personally fed Luke’s corpse to the dogs.

At this moment, Kayla couldn’t breathe…

Because Julian had guessed everything correctly.

“What would’ve happened after I was crippled?” Julian said, keeping his eyes firmly on her. “What did you plan to do?”

The pressure from his gaze was overwhelming, and Kayla felt like she had been thrown into the deep bottom of a well with no hope of ever seeing the sun again. If she looked up, she would surely drown in the water. If she looked down, she would suffocate from the tight grip around her neck.

Under this tremendous pressure, she broke down and cried again.

“J–Julian…! I didn’t mean to…!”

Kayla admitted it.

Julian had long sensed something was deeply wrong with the woman before him. She had said so much, all to push the blame on everyone else except herself and to hide something bigger underneath it all. It was because of her many excuses that he suddenly thought of Luke. Thus, Julian decided to try pressuring her about it.

Lo and behold, she actually confessed everything without much prompting.

“Then what?” Julian continued to ask. “What did you plan to do once I was crippled? Did you want me to owe you my life again, so you’d have every right to dispose of everything that was mine?”

“No… No…!” Kayla cried uncontrollably. “I just love you so much! I wanted to keep you with me forever! I wanted to keep you and Diana apart! I was tired of waiting!”

From the very start to the end, Julian’s feelings for Kayla were only that of gratitude and the intense need to compensate her.

But toward Diana, it had always been love.

If Kayla hadn’t gone abroad, perhaps Julian would still eventually meet Diana. But maybe they wouldn’t experience so much tragedy as they did, and there wouldn’t be the need to have a stupid illusion of using Diana as a substitute.

Diana was her own person, and she was irreplaceable.

Kayla got her first taste of despair when she saw the gentle smile on Julian’s lips.

So, Julian really never loved her.

Julian had never been ruthless toward Kayla, but that wasn’t because of lingering love toward her. Far from it! His kindness was only due to his gratitude toward her for saving his life when they were younger.

Yet, if he one day discovered that his true savior was in fact Diana….

Kayla didn’t dare imagine the consequences; a cold shiver ran up her spine. She had to keep it a secret, for she was keenly aware that this was the only thing that could preserve her life right now.
