Julian's Stand in Wife

Through the driver’s attitude, Diana sensed something was out of the norm. She tried to probe.

“We haven’t made plans on where to go, and we don’t know when we’re heading out or which hotel we’ll be staying in…”

“That’s alright,” the driver said. “I’ll just wait right downstairs at your hotel. Anytime you need a car, just tell me. If you don’t, I’ll just wait downstairs.”

He was definitely not allowing Diana out of his sight.

The alarm bells in Diana’s heart rang even louder, but she knew she couldn’t say no to him. She could only go into the hotel and get some rest first before playing it by ear.

Jim didn’t expect Diana to not follow the driver back home. Thankfully, his subordinate was quick-witted enough to not leave Diana alone outside.

He wouldn’t feel at ease leaving a pregnant lady all by herself.

Thinking about it, he told the driver to book a room right next to Diana’s hotel room. “After I’m done with this experiment, I’ll head over. Make sure she stays safe when I’m not around. If you need help, seek my approval anytime.”

The driver nodded, but he looked as if he had something more to say.

Jim could sense something wrong in his voice. “You have something to say?”

He paused for a moment and said with rarely-seen patience, “Tell me.”
