Chapter 1233
Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1233
Subsequently, Mrs. Lemmington, who was an art teacher, drew the scene of her
husband at that time and titled it” Joy*.
The husband depicted in the painting was handing his wife a peeled sweet
potato. He was all covered in sweat, yet joy emanated from his eyes. Thedy
before him was all he had eyes for.
Their love, depicted in that scene, was clear to all who saw the drawing.
That was the romantic ideal of an artist.
After that, they thought that their family would only be happier with the
birth of their child. They didn’t expect their child to be born with a birthmark that
was positioned in such a way that surgery wasn’t rmended. No matter
which method they tried, they were unable to make their daughter feel confident
and bright with her birthmark.
Subsequently, she got acquainted with Enzo Jennings.
“After Enzo Jennings appeared, we haven’t been happy ever since,” Mrs.
Lemmington said. There was agitation and sorrow in her eyes, as if she had
thought of the demon himself. “He’s the devil who destroyed our lives! I want
him to go to hell one day! Mrs. Ful…”
Mrs. Lemmington was about to ask if footage from the surveince camera at
the door could suffice as evidence
for the police, when she saw a man approaching them.
He was also dressed in all ck, and donned a suit. His suit was paired with a
tailcoat, making him look like a pristine spirit floating in the air.
His eyes, fair skin, and voice felt so spiritual.
“Mrs. Lemmington, my condolences,” he said, as he handed her a bouquet of
yellow chrysanthemums that symbolized sorrow.
Mrs. Lemmington thanked him, finding this young man before her oddly familiar.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t pinpoint who he was. Perhaps he was one of the
students she and her husband taught before.
Since he was here to pay his respects, Mrs. Lemmington felt that she shouldn’t
be impolite. As such, instead of asking Jim who he was, she ced the yellow
chrysanthemums he presented her before Professor Lemmington’s tombstone,
and had Jim bow before it.
Subsequently, many people streamed in, and Mrs.
Lemmington decided to deal with matters concerning Enzo another time and
instead focus on bidding her husband goodbye in peace.
She kept herself busy, bringing guests to bid her husband farewell.
In the drizzle, Jim walked toward Diana.
Somehow, Diana felt that his previous suit with the mandarin cor suited him

better than the tailcoat he was
currently wearing.
Jim lived up to his image as a professor, always exuding a schrly air about
him. Yet, his sharp and exquisite features worked against that aura, making him
a handsome yet bookish-looking young man. He looked as if he had walked out
of a picture.
Everyone enjoyed looking at good-looking people. Diana was no exception.
She smiled, and nodded politely at Jim. But when she took a step back, she
noticed Jim taking a step closer to her.
Diana stopped in her tracks. “Are you here to look for me?”
Julian, who was busy holding up an umbre for Diana, immediately looked up,
his eagle eyes fixed on Jim. But when Jim turned to look at him, Julian
immediately rxed his jaw and lookedpletely unguarded. He nodded at
Jim, too.
“Professor Hughes, thank you for your treatment. I feel much better now, and
the difort I felt before is all gone.”
‘That’s good,” Jim said with a smile, but he kept his gaze on Diana.
The look in his eyes wasn’t like that of a man looking at a woman, filled with
hidden desires. In fact, his eyes were surprisingly crystal clear.
It made Julian feel like he was being too petty.
“Mr. Fulcher,” Jim said as he looked at Julian, “could you please let me talk to
Mrs. Fulcher for a second, on ount of me helping you cleanse your body of
those unpleasant substances?”
