Julian’s Stand-In Wife By South Wind Dialect Chapter 401
Oh, how amusing!
Should Diana say that James was very articulate, or should she call him heartless?
Diana looked at him with a mocking gaze. “Then I suppose I have to thank you.”
James immediately wiped away his tears and stood up happily. He even tried to get closer to Diana, but she
retreated a few steps to avoid him.
It was hard to imagine that the man with such a personality was actually her birth father.
Diana looked at his face, which resembled hers, and felt her heart beat faster in her chest.
If it were possible, she wished she had never come to Richburgh when she had turned eighteen, let alone to the
Winnington family. At the very least, she could hold on to her imagination that her parents were great people.
James could sense Diana’s distaste for him, and awkwardly withdrew his hand.
“It’s good that you understand my good intentions.”
Diana nodded. “Sure.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was pointless to talk about it.
She now knew that it really was James’s fault that she was lost as a child; that was enough.
Her heart had turned colder after that revelation.
Just what kind of beast would deliberately lose his biological daughter so that his mistress’s daughter could take the
lost daughter’s place within the family? Plus, when Diana returned home to be reunited with her family, he refused
to acknowledge her. Even on his deathbed, he refused to admit his mistakes.
Worse, for the sake of that illegitimate daughter, he was going to give Diana to an accursed old lecher from the
Pabian family!
Hah.
Aside from mockery, Diana couldn’t muster any energy to show any other expression.
“It seems you love Lucy deeply,” Diana said, looking at James with eyes that radiated an unnerving chill.
The sight was such that James wanted to subconsciously bend over for her, but he caught himself and straightened
up in an exaggerated manner. He blurted out, “I love you too.”
When these words came out of James’s mouth, Diana wasn’t the only one who wanted to throw up. Lucy was sorely
tempted to spit in James‘ face.
Even
More than that, Lucy sensed that something was wrong with him. She gently pressed her red lips to his ear and
said, “James! Did something happen between you and Kayla that I don’t know about?”
She was pressed tightly against him, as if afraid Diana couldn’t see how close they were.
Now that the secret of his cheating and deliberately losing his daughter had been exposed to Diana, James
seemed like he was no longer bothered to hide it and clung to Lucy just as tightly.
He shot Diana a look and held Lucy closer, as though the two wanted to meld into each other’s bodies.
Diana was speechless at their disgusting behavior.
In truth, James was afraid that Diana would hear their conversation. The moment Lucy pressed closer to him, he
quickly relayed the contents of the conversation on the phone he had with Kayla before.
The more Lucy listened, the more worried she grew. Once James was done, she immediately hurried away to call
Kayla.
When she returned, she glared at Diana with eyes of intense hatred.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDiana ignored her and said, “I didn’t care much about what happened when I was a child back then, but now, I’m
certain I need to think carefully about what happened in the past.”
Thinking about it, she wondered if she would have any recollection on why James would deliberately lose her.
Unexpectedly, Lucy was the one on the verge of crying blood when she heard Diana’s words.
Looking as if she was about to explode, Lucy screamed, “What do you need to think about?! It’s all in the past!
What’s worth pursuing about when you were a child? Your father has already kneeled and apologized to you, yet
you still refuse to forgive him! Are you so intent on hanging on to the past?!”
Diana was stunned by the intensity of Lucy’s outburst.
“What else are you hiding from me, Lucy? Were you on the phone with Kayla just now? What did she say to you?”
Why was Lucy suddenly so worked up after hanging up her call with Kayla?
Lucy was oddly insistent that Diana not pursue her past. Was it possible that there was more to the story than
James deliberately losing her?
Lucy and Kayla must’ve kept something else from her.
But Diana had gone missing at the age of three, after which James brought Kayla into the family.
Diana and Kayla never had any interaction before that, so what else was there to hide?
