Chapter 1021

Diana initially thought that she had to take Betty away from Julian as fast as possible. A man like him couldn’t possibly know how to take care of children.

Yet, in reality, he had been a perfect father.

The passers-by were right. Seeing how much effort Julian put in made Diana want to give birth to another child.

The thought made her subconsciously caress her tummy.

Since she didn’t end up taking contraceptives the last time, could it be possible…

That there was a tiny life inside of her?

Still, Diana knew it was impossible.

It was just wishful thinking on her part.

Her menstrual cycle had just ended a few days ago.

Yet her expression when she caressed her tummy was so full of expectation and happiness, Simon couldn’t ignore it even if he tried.

He stared at his legs, and his heart tightened.

Sorrow filled his eyes.

“I want to ride the roller coaster.” Betty’s childish voice pulled Diana back to reality. She pointed at the thrilling ride that made one shriek at the top of one’s lungs, and added indignantly, “But Mommy refuses to let me…”

Diana stood silent.

Betty had learned how to complain to Julian.

It seemed her significance as a mother in Betty’s heart was decreasing day by day…

Despite the disappointment that surged in her heart, Diana was still glad to see her daughter having one more person to trust and rely on wholeheartedly.

The more people who loved Betty, the happier Diana felt for her daughter.

Betty was still complaining. “Whatever it is, Mommy refuses to let me go on it. I’m not so small anymore, Daddy!”

She clung to Julian’s legs, pouting and whining.

She looked up at him with crystal-clear eyes. Julian felt as though he was looking at a younger version of Diana.

He wondered whether she had many people loving and doting on her when she was a child.

Yet her adoptive parents died so early, and she didn’t have any other kin.

Julian didn’t dare to think any further about how Diana survived her childhood.

He glanced at her, pain slashing his heart.

When he turned his attention back to Betty, he looked even more patient than he was before.

He caressed his daughter’s head and said, “It’s not that Mommy doesn’t want you to go on the roller coaster. Actually, Mommy wants to fulfill all of your wishes. She’s the one who loves you the most in this whole wide world.”

Julian tried to persuade Betty without bringing Diana down.

“Since Mommy loves you so much, could she bear to see you upset?”

Betty thought about it, and shook her head firmly. “No.”

“How about this?” Julian raised a suggestion for Betty’s consideration. “After you grow up, Daddy and Mommy will bring you here again. The first ride we’ll take will be the roller coaster.

“Right now, as you’re too small, let Daddy and Mommy experience the ride for you. We’ll tell you whether we think it’s fun or safe, okay?”

Betty intertwined her fingers, and pondered for a moment before saying, “Okay! Daddy, Mommy, quick, go for it!”

Diana wanted to discuss it further with Simon, but Betty pulled her hand with Julian’s, and urged them, “Mommy, quick! Quick! I want to see you two on the ride! I want Mommy to exp…experience it!”

“Go on,” Simon said with a smile, suppressing the sorrow in his eyes. “I’ll wait here with the twins.”

“But…” Diana was reluctant. “I …I don’t dare…”

The roller coaster was too high.

It was such a thrilling ride, running so fast in midair.

The mere thought of her legs hanging in midair made her knees feel weak.

Julian burst out laughing. The sun shone down on his towering figure, accentuating his beautiful jawline.

Diana suddenly felt embarrassed. “I just don’t have the guts Julian’s smile widened. Even so, he didn’t mean to mock Diana.

“I’m very happy,” he said. He stood next to Diana, and added, “Before you lost your memories, you were very afraid of these things.”

That was why Julian never brought her to the amusement park.

He originally thought she might be resistant to come here today, and even felt slightly down because of that possibility.
