Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1277

“Diana’s very happy with you,” Jim said with happiness from the bottom of his heart. He showed Julian the photo he took just now. “See?”

In the photo, the two of them were like a golden couple.

Even the flowers surrounding them bloomed as they embraced each other tightly, making for a beautiful and heartwarming scene.

Of course, it was obvious that the one who took the photo was giving the couple his sincerest blessings.

The inappropriateness of Jim pursuing Diana all the way here from the zoo was washed away by the message that this photo conveyed.

Diana had something else she wanted to discuss with Jim. She exchanged glances with Julian, and he said, “Professor Hughes, stay for lunch?”

“No thanks.” Jim rejected them this time. “I have something else to attend to, and need to urgently rush back to Jacroaof. Please excuse me.”

With that, he glanced at Diana.

His warm yet unexplainable gaze swept across Diana’s face and stomach. “Mrs.

Fulcher, I’ll see you again.”

He said it in a solemn tone, as if he would really be seeing her again.

But Diana didn’t know when she would next meet Professor Hughes, whom she hardly had any contact with to begin with.

Time was running out.

Jim was about to leave Collina Villa.

Between asking Jim about him knowing her for a long time and asking him to help Nina, Diana chose the latter.

Diana caught up with him. “Professor Hughes, it’ll be hard for me to see you again next time.”

No one saw the fear that flashed past Jim’s eyes. Neither did anyone see the excitement that emerged right after the fear.

How would it be hard?

He would certainly see her again.

The day she went into labor would be the day they would meet each other again.

Instead of saying that, he looked solemnly at her and asked, “What’s the matter? Do you have something to say?”

Diana felt slightly embarrassed that he had seen through her thoughts, but it concerned Nina. She decided to just say it without hesitation.

“It’s about Lina Jennings.”

She gave him a brief explanation about the Jenningses and the Stanleys.

Jim understood where she was coming from. “You want the Jenningses to give up on their marriage with the Stanleys so your friend Vans Stanley can reunite with Nina Ashlee.”

Diana nodded. ‘That’s the idea.”

Jim’s eyes turned cold.

He thought it would have something to do with Diana herself. Even if it were, he had to consider if it had anything to do with her fetuses.

Yet, it turned out to be about someone else altogether. He didn’t even know Nina and Vans, and had no reason to help them.

To Diana, he was overly kind.

But “kind” wasn’t a word used to describe Jim Hughes.

His mother was right. One had to learn how to put up a front to survive in society. Otherwise, one might frighten others.

He smiled warmly at her. “Sure, I’ll help her.”

Diana was shocked. She didn’t expect Jim to be so accommodating. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Excitement grew in her heart and she had the urge to invite him to stay for lunch, but Jim had already stepped out of the villa.

“What a nice man,” Diana lamented as she leaned into Julian’s embrace after Jim disappeared in the distance.

Julian sneered as he forced Diana to turn her gaze back to him. Displeased, he pinched her nose. “I get jealous when you praise another man like that.”

‘Then tell me,” Diana said as she smiled cheekily, “is Professor Hughes a good man?”

Was Jim Hughes a good man?

Julian wasn’t able to arrive at an answer just yet, because he hadn’t received any news from Noel.

He still had a pathetic amount of information regarding Jim Hughes.
