Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1378

“I’ve encountered some issues on my end, and can’t go to Jacroaof to accompany her for now,” Julian didn’t disclose details to Jim. “She’s over there with Betty, and I’m counting on you to take good care of them.” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jim nodded. “Rest assured.”

Jim would take better care of her than Julian would.

“I bought strawberries, cherries, durian, and other fruits for her. They have already been delivered to the hotel she’s staying at,” Jim said, intentionally showing Julian how to take care of a pregnant woman. “I also prepared some recipes that are good for pregnant women. Starting tomorrow, I’ll replace the hotel chef with someone I know to make special dishes for Diana.”

Julian was pleased with Jim’s thoughtful consideration.

But in his joy was slight unease.

Julian couldn’t figure out Jim’s intentions, couldn’t understand whether he was good or bad, and what kind of feelings he had towards Diana.

That, and the fact that Julian was unable to leave Richburgh to go to Jacroaof might be related to Jim.

Julian didn’t ask, fearing that it might be a misunderstanding.

However, Jim took the initiative to speak. “Julian, Diana’s pregnant, but she came to Jacroaof alone. However it happened, you shouldn’t have let her come alone.”

But when she went, Julian was completely unaware!

“I have a friend who had some trouble at that time…”

“You don’t need to explain to me,” Jim interrupted Julian. “I don’t care about the process. I only care about the result. You let Diana come alone, and that’s not right.”

Jim had also bought a ticket for Julian, but Julian didn’t board the plane.

Now, Julian was somewhat glad he hadn’t pressed Jim for answers. Thinking about it now, Jim had actually been considerate of him and Diana.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

If Jim was angry, it was only because Julian didn’t accompany Diana to Jacroaof.

Julian breathed a sigh of relief.

He was still convinced that Jim had no romantic interest in Diana. Since Jim didn’t have feelings for Diana, he felt reassured.

Julian lowered his stance, and said apologetically, “Yes, you’re right, Professor Hughes. I don’t need to make excuses. What I need to do is to rush to Jacroaof as soon as possible and accompany my wife and child.”

Jim agreed. “Yes, they’re waiting for you.”

But before Diana gave birth, he wouldn’t let Diana and Julian meet again. He didn’t want Julian to do anything that would hurt her feelings and affect her mood during pregnancy.

What Jim wanted was a perfect and happy pregnant mother. What he aimed for was the healthiest and most precious child; whether it was through science, metaphysics, or a combination of both.

Only such a child could live up to his experiments.

“Alright. I’m hanging up for now,” Julian said.

He felt that Jim was truly a good person. A very generous and kind person.

“Having you to look after my wife and child reassures me a lot. I’m counting on you.”

Upon hearing this, Jim was momentarily stunned, but he quickly understood.

“Sure,” he said, “as long as you don’t regret it, Mr. Fulcher.”

What did Julian have to regret? He would go see Diana in a couple of days.

Julian felt that while Jim might not be good at social niceties, he was at least practical. Fortunately, he was also straightforward and sincere.

When he was determined to be friends with someone, he did it regardless if the person was a man or a woman. He also didn’t care about status.

Perhaps those in the academic line were just that simple.

It was nice to know someone like him.

After settling things on Jim’s end and somewhat providing a guarantee for Diana and Betty’s safety in Jacroaof, Julian could finally focus on dealing with matters in Richburgh.

When Diana returned to the hotel, it was already late. Most of the hotel staff had already returned to rest.
