Julian's Stand in Wife

Chapter 1543

Despite Marcus’s status in showbiz, he didn’t have the confidence to ask the richest man in the country, who was

also a stunning young man, whether he could see his wife.

The best way was to get Nina involved. To his surprise, however, they had unwittingly become a couple in name.

Marcus chuckled at the turn of events.

“I’m not being professional,” he said, “I’m really excited to see my godson and goddaughter.”

With that, he instructed his assistant to retrieve the gift hampers from the boot of the car.

That was when Nina finally took a good look at the hampers—they were filled with toys, nutritional supplements,

and even gemstones and calligraphy paintings, which looked as though they were treasures from an auction.

Nina wanted to tell him that he shouldn’t have gone to such an expense, when Marcus started greeting Diana and

her children. They looked very pleased with Marcus, and were even more excited to see him than Nina.

That was especially so with Betty. Her bright eyes barely blinked as she stared at Marcus. “Godfather?”

She called out in her adorable voice.

Marcus replied to her in a bright and crisp voice, “You must be Betty.”

He lifted her up, and pointed to his cheeks. “Little darling, you look just like a beautiful princess. Can you kiss

Godfather on his cheek?”

Betty was so happy, she immediately pecked his cheek.

An unlikely friendship blossomed between them. Betty was so happy, she kept her arms wrapped tight around

Marcus’s neck. She kept bugging him to give her his signature so she could show it off to her classmates in school,

and tell everyone that Marcus was her godfather!

Sean, on the other hand, remained very calm.

His eyes were filled with wisdom, just like his father’s, as he surveyed Marcus from head to toe.

Marcus saw how much Sean resembled Julian at first sight. Sean was clearly just a kid, yet he exuded such an

imposing aura.

Thankfully, they were all very welcoming of him—with the sole exception of Julian. Marcus couldn’t see through

those dark, unfathomable eyes of his.

“Please, come in and have a seat.” Diana invited him in and offered him some tea.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries, and Marcus instructed his

accept my gift, that means her family refuses to accept me. I’ll have to think about what other gifts I must present

to gain your favor.”

His words were thoughtful, and left much to the imagination.

Diana felt all warm and fuzzy inside. She glanced at Nina, and instructed her servants to accept the gift hamper and

prepare a gift in return of equal value.

Since Marcus called her Nina’s family, she had to return the favor.

In fact, Nina’s actual family…

Tears almost welled up in Nina’s eyes over Diana’s thoughtful move.

She didn’t dare think about her family.
