Chapter 1018
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
âWould you reconcile with Daddy if we didnât do that?â Betty snorted. Not forgetting the mastermind of the plan, she continued, âSean is amazing!â
Sean appeared completely composed, as if he wasnât the one who came up with the idea. Yet, there was happiness in his eyes. He mirrored Julian almost perfectly.
Diana looked at them, and smiled contentedly.
âSeanâs becoming more and more like you.â
Julian raised an eyebrow, clearly in a good mood. âAfter all, heâs my son. If he doesnât take after me, who else would it be?â
Diana was about to call him out for being cheeky, when a voice interrupted them.
âWhere are you guys going?â
It was Simon.
Diana froze, and subconsciously glanced at Julian. She felt a bit embarrassed to let Simon see her and Julian looking so happy together. This would be too cruel for Simon, who was now disabled and had confessed his feelings to her but was rejected.
That was also one of the reasons she had been trying to restrain her emotions regarding Julian in the past few days. But after last night, Julian had gradually seen through her.
She could no longer suppress her feelings.
She wanted to be resolute, and continue walking this path with him.
But for now, she didnât have the courage to face Simon.
Julian understood her nervousness, and why she shrunk at However, he could certainly make a move himself.
Facing this good little brother of his, whatever he did would be like giving the man a treat of his own medicine.
So, Julian firmly held Dianaâs hand and announced, âOur family is going to the amusement park.â
Then, he took the initiative to invite Simon. âWould you like to join us?â
Diana was taken aback, not understanding why Julian would do this.
Subconsciously, she said, âSimon, you donât have to come if you donât want to.â
But Simon immediately replied, âIâll go.â
He smiled. He looked at Julian, then pointed at his wheelchair. âBrother, would you mind pushing me a bit?â
Julian didnât refuse. âSure, feel free to ask for anything.â
Seeing how well Julian treated Simon, Diana immediately felt at ease. âThen, letâs go together.â
She was fine with it, as long as the two of them agreed.
When they arrived at the amusement park, many attractions were filled with crowds.
âItâs not even the weekend. Why are there so many people?â Diana sighed just come back another day.â
She was worried Simon would be uncomfortable waiting outside for so long. His body might not handle it well. Plusâ¦
âThese attractions might not be suitable for Simon.â
âNo problem.â Julian produced a few VIP tickets. âWeâll use the VIP entrance and skip the lines.â
Diana blinked. âYou can do that?â
âOf course,â Julian said. âWith Simon, we can do whatever we want. But if heâs uncomfortable, youâll be uncomfortable too, and I donât like seeing you unhappy.â
Though it seemed like he was considering Simonâs feelings, he was actually showing his affection toward Diana.
Indeed, Dianaâs eyes brightened, and she smiled after hearing his words.
âThank you, Julian.â
As soon as she noticed Simonâs cold expression, however, she immediately toned down her joy.
âLet me push you.â
She took hold of the wheelchair handles, allowing Julian to carry the children.
The five of them headed toward the VIP entrance. As Julian had said, there was no need to wait in line.
With the guidance of the staff, Julian picked out a few fun and childfriendly attractions for the twins to experience.
Seeing them enjoy themselves, Julian turned to Diana and asked, âWhich one would you like to play?â
