Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1551

Nina mentioned the Jenningses. “The Jennings family is gone overnight, just like that.” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Diana wasn’t shocked.

She guessed that Julian had wanted to do that for a while. Not just for her and to seek justice for the Lemmington family, but also for Simon.

Although Julian never allowed Simon to call him his brother, he had wanted to annihilate everything that was involved with the Hughes family since Simon’s death.

Him making his move on the Jenningses indicated that the time had come.

“Congratulations,” Diana said to Nina. “Has Vans come back to you?”

“No,” Nina said with a shake of her head. “Lina Jennings isn’t the only thing standing in between us. We have problems of our own to overcome.”

Diana sighed. “I think Marcus is pretty good.”

She felt relaxed and comfortable around him.

Even if Vans came round and worked with Julian to bring down the Jenningses, and had no feelings whatsoever for Lina, Diana wasn’t exactly eager to be with him.

As if they had telepathy with each other, Vans wasn’t in a rush to seek her out, either.

Love was a strange thing. Diana didn’t say anything more about it.

“I just want you to be happy. At the end of the day, it’s not about which man you end up with, but whether you end up happy or not.”

In fact, if a man wasn’t able to give a woman happiness, it was better to just forgo him.

A woman was perfectly capable of leading a happy life all by herself.

Nina agreed with Diana, but not Cecilia.

She was in the midst of preparing for her wedding with Noel.

Mrs. Jarvis had lost to her daughter, and couldn’t stand seeing Cecilia looking listless at the thought of not being able to marry Noel.

In the end, she told Cecilia about how Noel rejected her check back then.

Cecilia was furious with Sue, but what was the point of holding a grudge against her own mother? She understood very quickly where Sue was coming from, but…

“Money can’t buy happiness. I truly feel safe with Noel.”

After what had happened, Sue began to see Noel in a more positive light. If it weren’t for Noel, Cecilia would have been utterly destroyed.

In fact, she was the one who suggested for them to get married.

Cecilia was so happy that Noel finally said yes to her.

Sue ignored all the snarky comments around her, while Julian made Noel his sworn brother as a sign of his support after knowing their plans to get married.

Sue felt so honored, her smile was enough to light up an entire town.

Cecilia and Noel had a lavish wedding.

Noel didn’t ask Julian for help. His finances alone were enough to guarantee Cecilia a comfortable life, not to mention a mere wedding. The wedding was a huge affair, but Diana was unable to attend.

Her water broke the morning of the wedding.

She had her bags all packed, and professional doctors were on standby in the manor. Julian was anxious, but he had run through the entire process in his head thousands of times.

Everything went smoothly this time.

Diana felt safe throughout the entire process, from traveling to the hospital to meeting the doctor and finally undergoing the cesarean section.

Julian was with her throughout the entire time, donned in scrubs and witnessing the entire process.

He didn’t even glance at their babies when they were out.

Guilt filled his heart.

“I should have insisted on not letting you get pregnant,” Julian said as he saw Diana’s pale face and her dazed eyes after she was under the influence of anesthesia. His heart ached as he muttered, “No more babies from now on, no more.”

He held Diana’s hand in his until the anesthesia wore away, and she finally regained full consciousness.

They finally managed to enjoy their first meal after two days had passed.

“Where are the babies?” Diana wanted to see them. “Are they boys or girls?”

Julian sat stunned for a moment as he hemmed and hawed, looking slightly embarrassed.

He didn’t know, either.

He was so occupied with taking care of Diana, he completely neglected his two new babies.

He was worried that Diana might rebuke him for not fulfilling his responsibility as a father, and quickly harbored a guess.” Probably girls…”
