Julian's Stand in Wife

Chapter 696

Because of that deep regret, Diana had long accumulated a mountain full of words she wanted to say to Julian. She spoke incessantly, "Did you get the ones I made with coins inside?"

There was a saying that one should stuff a pastry with a coin among many pastries, and that whoever ate it would be blessed with good fortune.

She was afraid Julian wouldn't get any coin-stuffed pastries, so she made ten of them all at once to increase the probability of Julian getting one.

However, there was no response from the other end.

She thought he might consider her idea foolish, so she said, “ Although it’s a silly folk belief, it only happens once a year. What harm is there in believing?"

She was willing to try anything, as long as it could bring him good luck.

"Mm."

"It's good if you did," Diana said, quickly jumping to conclusions. She didn't realize Julian's response was unrelated to her question.

Ignorant, she went on, "As long as you eat it, you'll have abundant fortune in the coming year. Who knows, maybe we can really bring back Aster and Star!"

"Let's talk about that later," Julian replied, finally speaking more than a few words. "It's too early to discuss children now."

He had always been concerned about this matter, so why was he acting so unusual today?
