Julian's Stand in Wife

Chapter 96

Oliver looked at Diana and said kindly, “Cheer up. Think of the baby.”

Diana nodded. He was right. She should be happier that what she feared had not happened, and that Kayla wasn’t overwhelming her at every turn.

But… Why did it feel so strange?

The sensation was akin to a puffed–up balloon that had deflated suddenly. Did Diana feel powerless because she had lost to such an average person?

Diana pulled herself together, thinking that she would meet the other formally later and have a good talk. Otherwise, she wouldn’t understand why Julian would abandon her for such a mediocre existence.

Thinking of Kayla whom she had met previously, and the undisguised contempt and malice she faced, her guard against Kayla making underhanded moves had lowered significantly. “Even though they don’t like me, they won’t do anything to me at a public birthday party.”
