Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1508

The atmosphere in the room turned awkward.

Diana concentrated on leaning into Jim’s ear, pretending as though no one was around.

From Julian's angle, it looked as if they were kissing.

However, Diana didn't really kiss Jim. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

She simply wanted to provoke Julian and make him leave.

She didn’t expect Jim to suddenly hold her down when she was about to stand up.

Diana was caught in his hold, unable to leave his embrace.

This time, desire filled his eyes.

His eyes clearly spoke of his desire to possess Diana.

His lips drew close.

Unlike the act that Diana put on earlier, he was gunning for the real deal now.

Diana instinctively shrank back, but she was trapped within his arms.

He whispered into her ear, "Trying to run? You started this first."

If she dared to leave him, he would never let Betty go! Betty was still with his men.

Diana didn't dare to act rashly.She didn't expect her plan to backfire.

"I thought you didn't like me?" she asked.

Locked in his embrace, she felt overwhelming panic and discomfort.

She wanted to take a step back, but he kept her trapped in his arms.

Helpless, she could only ask.

"Yes,"

Jim said, "I didn’t, and I still don’t."

He thought that he simply liked her being close to him.

His had heart trembled when she leaned in toward his lips just now.

"Diana."

He looked at her, and couldn't help but caress her stomach with his fingers.

"You must give birth to your babies."

He was beginning to dislike the idea of Diana living together with Julian's children.

"I will let my mother provide you with the best post-surgery care, but both babies must remain with the Hughes family.Don't worry, my mother will raise your children for you."

Raise her children? Did he mean in the same way they treated Kate? They were clearly good friends who trusted each other.Yet, the Hughes had the heart to destroy Kate’s life in the name of scientific research.

What irony! Diana struggled to stand up, but Jim’s mesmerizing voice sounded in her ears.

"Diana, you're resisting me so much.Do you want to see both Julian and Betty dead? I'll push you out and leave you behind for my mother, but I won't spare them.Cooperate with me before I change my mind and make Julian take Betty away.That will ensure both of their safety."

Diana's heart trembled at Jim’s words.She knew that a person like Jim was capable of anything.His mindset was different from that of ordinary people.

From her angle, she could clearly see the green numbers that kept counting down right in front of him.

That was the timer for the explosives.

There were five minutes left on the clock.

If things were to go on like this...

Diana didn’t dare to think about it.

She immediately became much more agreeable to Jim.

Despite that, she dodged Jim's kiss when he leaned in toward her lips.She couldn't stand the idea of kissing another man.She was, however, forced to sit on his legs.

Strange.

Jim didn't dislike it or find it disgusting.

A strange itch rose in the depths of Jim’s heart as an indescribable feeling gushed through his veins.

He looked at Diana and then challengingly at Julian, before grabbing the back of her neck and kissing her forcefully.

Diana’s mind turned blank.

She didn’t know how things turned out like this.

She wanted to push him away, but she felt suffocated by his aggressiveness.

"Julian Fulcher," Jim said.

He didn’t deepen the kiss.He didn’t understand how that worked.It was just a light peck on her lips.

Yet, that alone was enough to feel as though flowers had blossomed everywhere in his life.

He felt as though the herbal medicines displayed in his office all came alive at once.

Jim licked his lips, feeling Diana’s weight on his body and finding it extraordinarily amazing.

"Over the past few days when you weren't around, Diana and I have gotten much closer," Jim said as he tightened his embrace.

"If you stick around, I’m afraid you'll interrupt us."

He looked down at Diana and asked, "Isn't that so?"

Suppressing the misery in her heart, Diana looked up at Jim and said, "Yes."
