Chapter 1035

Was her darling Betty…

Was she ill again?

Betty finally looked up. She stretched her pudgy hands to caress Diana’s cheek.

“Mommy,” she said, “Don’t be sad. I know that Cecilia is sick. But…”

Hearing Betty form complete sentences and express herself clearly, Diana was relieved.

She looked back and forth between her adorable daughter and son. She started kissing their cheeks many times.

Ever since she had children, just looking their puffy cheeks always gave her the urge to kiss them without stopping.

Once was never enough.

But Betty clearly had something to say, so Diana had to hold back and encourage her to go on. “But what?”

Betty’s fists clenched tight.

“But…” She looked down uneasily. When she looked up once more, her eyes were red. “Mommy…”

‘Yes?”

“What is…a bitch?”

A young child like Betty didn’t know if that was a good word or not, but she wanted to know what it meant since it was what Cecilia used to describe her mommy.

“And vixen…a vixen is a vixen. Why was it used on you, Mommy?”

Betty’s eyes were innocent and pure. Crystal-clear, like a mirror.

Looking into them, Diana felt guilty.

She and Julian…

This time, what they did could not be justified.

No matter what, Cecilia was his official fiancee in name.

Diana, on the other hand…

Embarrassment and regret washed over Diana. She found herself unable to speak. Right now, she had no idea how to explain the relationship between the three of them.

While she was at a loss for words, Sean struggled out of her arms. He refused to look in her direction.

She could sense it.

Her son was disappointed with her.

Diana felt something stuck in her throat. She hugged Betty tightly, not wanting to let go for fear that her daughter might despise her as well.

“Those aren’t good words at all. Please forget them all, darling?” Diana pleaded.

Although Betty was usually cheeky, most of the time, she was very obedient.

She looked at Diana. She felt awful about the situation, and didn’t say much. She simply patted Diana with a pudgy hand, and comforted Diana, “Okay, Mommy.”

Her childish tone was innocent and pure.

“Sean,” Diana called out to her son. “Things between Mommy and Daddy aren’t like what Cecilia described.”

“I know,” Sean said. He had always been an intelligent child.

Cecilia had been staying in the villa for so long.

Except for today, when Diana went to the amusement park with the twins and Julian, Diana hardly interacted with Julian.

Cecilia, on the other hand, had Julian’s company every day.

There were some things Sean could sense, even without Diana saying it explicitly.

“Mommy,” Sean suddenly said, his back to Diana. “If I had to choose, I’d choose you.”

Tears welled up in Diana’s eyes. Sean didn’t despise her.

In fact…

He chose to stand firmly on her side, even after understanding that Cecilia’s claims weren’t completely unfounded.

Diana knew.

She knew what Sean meant. If she and Julian broke up again, Sean would choose her over Julian.

He wanted to live with his mommy.
