Julian's Stand in Wife

Chapter 311

Diana was amazed as she listened to Madam Fulcher recount the past.

“Fate is amazing.”

She married Julian because of how similar her face had looked to Kayla, but he had actually chosen her rather

than his first love.

“That’s right,” Madam Fulcher agreed and solemnly said, “You’re not anyone’s substitute. You’re your own person

and a unique existence in my heart. You’re my granddaughter–in–law!”

Now knowing that Madam Fulcher had been part of the reason Diana had walked this path, Diana somehow felt a

new level of closeness with the older woman.

“Thank you, Grandma.”

Diana was grateful from the bottom of her heart.

Not only was she grateful for Madam Fulcher treating her so well, but also for giving her and Julian a chance.

“But… I really can’t tell what Julian thinks of Kayla and me.”

“That’s not important,” Madam Fulcher said, trying to guide Diana slowly in this mindset. “As long as you take these

shares and pick up designing again, you’ll be fine. Men are only icing on the cake. They’re not the only thing in your

life.”

Diana was surprised at Madam Fulcher’s modern take on arguments.

“You…know about my designs?”

“With all the clothes you’ve made for me over the years and the last design you made, I would be blind if I couldn’t

see the depths of your skill,” Madam Fulcher replied with a smile.

Diana was still confused. “But Julian’s your grandson. Is it really okay for you to tell me all this?”

“Of course it is,” Madam Fulcher said, looking into Diana’s apprehensive eyes. “Oh, you look like a little squirrel right

now! You’re adorable.”

She pinched Diana’s cheeks lightly and her smile widened. “You’re such a delight.”

When Madam Fulcher’s husband, both of them entertained the thought of having a daughter. But the day she gave

birth to Julian’s father, she had a hemorrhage on the operating table. After that, she was told she would never be

able to have children again.

Thus, the dream of having a daughter was impossible.

“I’d love it even more if you could give me a great–granddaughter,” Madam Fulcher said, quickly changing the

subject as she looked at Diana’s stomach. “It’d be wonderful if they were twins of different genders. That would be

a complete set.”

Diana was armused at how fast Madam Fulcher was at switching topics..

“They’re still too young, but we can check their genders when they’re a little older. We can also prepare the things

they need in advance once we know their gender.”

“No need for that,” Madam Fulcher objected. “Money isn’t an issue in our family. Don’t think too hard about saving

money. Let’s simply prepare two sets of both so that no matter which gender they are, they’ll have complete sets

either way.”

When Diana heard that, she said, “That sounds good! It’ll be like unboxing a surprise when they’re born.”

The two continued talking about Diana’s pregnancy and the babies. Before they knew it, it was already ten at

night.

Madam Fulcher was concerned about Diana’s health, so she wanted Diana to get some rest.

“Sign this certificate and then go to bed, okay?”

Diana hadn’t expected the old woman to remember the shares, and had hoped she wouldn’t. It looked like Madam

Fulcher really hadn’t decided on a whim.

“Can you let me think about it for the night?”

“No,” Madam Fulcher said, her tone overbearing. “I’ve considered this for a very long time. Whether you were

pregnant or not, I’d have given this share certificate to you. It was a coincidence that today was the joyful event of

your pregnancy announcement and the day I decided to give this to you. Since it’s a joyful event on top of one

another, you must sign it. Otherwise, I’ll sit in the study tonight and I won’t sleep.”

Diana sighed. “…You’re cheating.”

Madam Fulcher snorted. “Of course.”

She hoped Diana would live her own life, and live it to the fullest.

Only then would Diana always remain attractive, and Julian would be even more hell–bent on her.

Essentially, Madam Fulcher was doing everything for both Diana and Julian’s sake.

She handed Diana the signing pen and said sincerely, “Sign it, okay? As long as you don’t appear, no one will know

that this ten percent has been transferred to you. I wouldn’t want to trouble you,”

In other words, the transfer was completely anonymous.

“Does Julian not know either?”

“No,” Madam Fulcher said with a mysterious smile. “I’m not going to tell himn.”

‘If there comes a day in the future when her relationship with Julian turns sour, I’m sure these shares will remind

her of me, with the way she is. Perhaps the thought of me will eventually become a bridge for them to mend their

relationship, if that ever happens.‘

Julian loved Diana, but sometimes, he didn’t know how to express it. Diana also loved Julian, but her love was so

much more than his, making her more vulnerable before him.

Chapter 312

Either

way, Julian and Diana’s love for each other right now didn’t seem equal.

Madam Fulcher had lived a long life and experienced a lot. She didn’t need to focus on business anymore, but she

still needed to consider her grandchildren’s happiness.

In Madam Fulcher’s eyes, Diana was the best match for Julian. There wouldn’t be anyone better than her, and

Madam Fulcher hoped the two would live well together.

It would be best if Diana never needed to use the depth of consideration Madam Fulcher had given her.

Diana turned sorrowful once more upon recalling what Madam Fulcher said about how she was unsure when she

would leave this world, and finally sighed.

“Okay. I’ll sign it,” Diana said, looking up with bright and slightly damp eyes, though there was a positive light shining

through them. “But you have to promise me one thing.”
