Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1293

Julian had enough self-awareness to know that.

“You’ll have to wait for Noel to make a good showing and become their son-in law before the Jarvises are willing to help us.”

This seemed rather challenging for Noel at this point. Julian was frustrated over how slowly Noel’s mind moved in the area of relationships.

“I found someone else to help. Don’t bother asking about it. Whatever it is, when I receive news about it, I’ll update you. Don’t worry about it before that happens.”

Diana was still pregnant. Although her work at the studio was getting on track, she still had to meet deadlines in drawing her designs and supervise production work at the factory. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

An entire day’s work was still tough for her to go through. However, she was happy to do it and didn’t want to close the studio.

Julian saw how the studio was thriving, so he didn’t stop her from working in it.

Although he didn’t think it earned much, it was her hobby after all.

“I know,” Diana said. She understood full well that Julian was worried about her health, and if her birth circumstances would make her feel terrible.

In reality, she felt rather happy knowing that James Winnington wasn’t her biological father.

Only, she didn’t know if her biological father had treated her as badly as James Winnington did…

Still, she didn’t want to worry about it before she could wrap her mind around the situation.

She decided to change the topic. “Will you come with me to the next check-up?”

“Of course,” Julian said, and he told her the details of the next appointment.

“From the next appointment onward, I won’t miss a single check-up. When you’re in labor, I’ll definitely be by your side. I won’t miss it for the world!”

The days passed. In a week’s time, stretch marks started showing on Diana.

Perhaps because of her skin sagging from the previous pregnancy, it started showing way earlier this time round.

She had developed stretch marks after giving birth to Sean and Betty.

This time round, Julian paid much attention to rubbing stretch marks oil on her stomach every day from the start of her pregnancy. Said oil came from a reputed brand imported from overseas.

Diana saw it from magazines, and was about to order it when Julian informed her that he had bought all remaining stocks.

Today was their first time using the oil after so much had happened over the past few days.

“After rubbing it once now, we’ll rub it again tonight,” Julian said. “Rub it twice a day, and perhaps the stretch marks won’t grow this time.”

He poured out the oil in his palm, and slowly massaged it onto her stomach.

His palms felt warm to the touch. He rubbed her stomach gently, the sensation like a cloud billowing across her skin.

She felt so comfortable, she almost shut her eyes.

His hands became even gentler.

Diana unknowingly fell asleep. By the time she woke up, it was already evening.

She could smell the aroma of food from downstairs.

She wanted to eat, but couldn’t bring herself to do so the moment she sat at the table.

“The twins in my stomach are starting to act up,” Diana complained to Julian, upset over her poor appetite, 1 Julian thought Diana ate little to control her weight gain. He belatedly realized that she really was starting to lose her appetite.

Over the past week, she hadn’t been eating much. Her complexion was turning sallow.

“You can’t go on like this.”

He wanted to call Vans to ask if he had any solution, but Vans’s phone was off.

Perhaps he was in the middle of a surgery.

Julian didn’t think much of it, and simply brought Diana to the hospital that night.

Diana trusted public hospitals more, so Julian decided to bring her to one and queue for a number with her.

Upon reading through Diana’s check-up results, the doctor asked, “Why did you come only now?” Julian’s face immediately changed.
