Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1361

She had already decided to take Betty out for fun by herself.

Now that she knew Jim had made such detailed arrangements, she found it inappropriate for her to bring her daughter with her to his place.

What’s more…

The driver had seen her walking into the wrong washroom. She really didn’t want to go to the Hughes household.

“I’ll definitely visit the Hughes household in a few days’ time.”

She was thinking of going over to say hi to Jim after she was done getting some fresh air in Jacroaof and right before she left for home.

“But,” the driver said, looking like he was put in a difficult spot when Diana rejected him. Jim had sent him on a mission. “Professor Hughes said that he has prepared a gift for you…”

Diana was confused. “Weren’t the air tickets the gift?”

The driver chuckled.

“Of course not,” he said, as though he had found a reason to persuade Diana to go back to the Hughes household with him. “The professor said that you’ll find out what the gift is when you arrive at his home. He said you’d definitely be pleased.”

Diana grew curious.

But…

“About me walking into the wrong washroom…” she began, embarrassed.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

The driver almost couldn’t hold back his laughter at her comment. However, he did his best to keep his face straight. He said seriously, “Ms. Winnington, since when did you walk into the wrong washroom? I never recalled such a thing happening.”

Jim’s driver caught on fast.

Diana was still reluctant. “I still can’t go with you.”

At the end of the day, she and Jim were but ordinary friends. He didn’t need to buy flight tickets for her and prepare presents for her.

Knowing that the flight tickets weren’t the present, she didn’t feel right. To think Jim had made such careful arrangements, to the point his driver knew how she looked like and could recognize her in such a huge airport, and that the real present was in the Hughes household.

She had to receive it in person by visiting the Hughes family.

The driver was stunned. “Why not? Our professor seldom gives gifts, and is seldom so thoughtful to others. You’re the first and only one he spends so much effort on.”

The more the driver explained, the more Diana felt uneasy.

“Please help me thank Professor Hughes for his kind intentions,” she said. She thought about it, then asked the driver to convey a message on her behalf. “My husband was held back by something at the last minute, and couldn’t reach here the same day I did.”

She kept her explanation vague, and left out the fact that Julian wasn’t coming to Jacroaof. She tried to create the false impression that Julian would definitely come soon.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“When he comes, I’ll definitely go and visit the Hughes household and accept the gift.”

Shock filled the driver’s eyes. “You have a husband?”

Diana said, “Not only do I have a husband, but I have children, too.”

She pushed Betty in front of her. Betty immediately greeted the driver.

The driver was flattered. “Please don’t, it’s alright.”

He was of a lowly status. Those whom Jim Hughes cared much for were of highly respected status, no doubt. Even though this woman was already married with kids, he couldn’t let her child greet him like this.

The driver waved his hands. Seeing how firm Diana was, he had no choice but to give up on driving her to the Hughes household.

Diana thought that was the end of it.

She thought of taking Betty around for some fun over the next two days.

She decided it was best to leave as early as possible. She even gave up on the idea of visiting the Hughes household or gifting Jim some specialty goods.

It would be terrible if Julian had misjudged, and that Jim really had feelings for her.

All she could think of right now was how there were some men who fancied other people’s wives, while some men fancied pregnant ladies.

That frightened her somewhat. If Jim had any ill-intentions toward her…

Diana shuddered, suddenly regretting bringing Betty here so rashly. She began to wonder whether she should take Betty back to Richburgh.

She was still deep in her thoughts, when she saw the driver lifting her luggage into the car. “Since you’re not going, I’ll send you to your hotel. I’ll be at your beck and call no matter where you go during your time here.”

Diana had seen many things, being with Julian for so long. The driver’s attitude was sending alarm bells ringing in her heart.

Jim…

It didn’t seem as though he was bringing her to the Hughes household because he liked her. Rather, it seemed more like he was getting someone to monitor her closely.
