    Julian’s Stand-In Wife Chapter 1267


    How could things be so far-fetched?


    What’s more, was it true just because Jim imed so?


    Diana bit her lips, and decided to discuss the matter with Julian at home. She couldn’t distrust her own


    husband while trusting another man whom she just got acquainted with so easily.


    Jim arranged to meet her at a very surprising choice of location.


    It was the weekend. The zoo was crowded, as if everyone in the city was gathered there. People were


    everywhere.


    Diana stood at the entrance, looking at the bustling crowd as her hair stood on end.


    Had she known that there were so many people here, she would have suggested an alternative meeting


    ce.


    Jim, on the other hand, was very excited. He stood in front of Diana with one arm outstretched, helping


    her block off surrounding people that might bump into her, in a considerate and gentlemanly manner.


    At the same time, he didn’t forget to keep his distance from Diana so that she wouldn’t feel


    ufortable.


    “There have been new additions to the zoo exhibits, including swans, mingos and even alpacas,” Jim


    said as he pointed to the general direction of the exhibits. He smiled warmly and kindly. “Children love


    them.”


    He looked at Diana’s stomach, as if seeing her unborn children through her stomach.


    That overly excited and happy look on his face made Diana feel uneasy.


    But she immediately felt like she was overthinking things.


    Jim was very thoughtful toward her.


    Perhaps it was his innate kindness and thoughtfulness that made her wrongly sense that he was paying


    too much attention to the babies in her stomach.


    “Come over here,” Jim said, as he led Diana to the swanke.


    There was a crowd gathered there, but Jim managed to secure a good viewing spot.


    He kept looking at Diana’s stomach as he talked to her, softly exining to her about the different


    species of swans, their fur, and history.


    His voice sounded so tender. Yet, he remained clear and articte as he presented Diana with a host of


    interesting information.


    Even children around them started to gather to listen to Jim.


    However, Jim continued staring intently at Diana’s stomach, ignoring the attention he was drawing from


    the surrounding children.


    He continued exining things patiently to her.


    No.


    He wasn’t talking to her. Diana was very sure he was talking to her stomach.


    The realization sent shock waves through her body, and made her hair stand on end.


    “Professor Hughes,” Diana said, though she felt bad cutting him off. “Are you…talking to the babies in my


    stomach?”


    “No,” Jim said as he looked up, his eyes so crystal clear they reflected the flustered look in Diana’s eyes.


    She caressed her stomach, her face pale as she looked uneasily at the man before her. “Then why do


    you keep staring at my stomach?”

    His overly direct gaze felt intrusive to Diana. However, his straightforward expression made her wonder if


    she really was overthinking things.


    “I didn’t keep staring at your stomach,” Jim said, as he looked behind her. He reached out and pulled a


    child toward him. ‘There’s a child behind you.”


    What he meant was that Diana kept feeling that he was staring at her stomach because the child behind


    her was of the same height as her stomach.


    Jim was looking at that child, and not her stomach.


    That child was clearly attracted by Jim’s exnation. His parents were standing right next to him.


    This proved that Diana was making a mountain out of a molehill.


    She didn’t know how to justify her rude usations, but Jim simplyughed it off. “It’s fine. As a mother,


    it’s instinctive to protect your children. It’s good.”


    He was so forgiving, Diana felt bewildered.


    Jim saw the embarrassment on Diana’s face; a hollow sh appeared in his eyes, but it vanished without


    a trace.


    It seemed he had to hold himself back even more. He couldn’t disy such strong interest in her unborn


    children so early.


    He had to stop Diana from being guarded against him. If that happened, it would be difficult getting close


    to her in the future.


    How would he be able to watch the babies in her stomach grow up?


    The babies were his priority.


    He had to wait for Diana to give birth, so that he could pick one of them and take the child away!


    Given his rtionship with them, he couldn’t bear to miss a second of their lives.


    The babies in Diana’s stomach couldn’t do without him!
