Chapter 1088

Sean looked up and asked, “Daddy didn’t say he wanted to see Mommy or me, right?”

His voice was laced with disappointment.

Diana’s heart tightened. She subconsciously retracted her steps. “Sean…”

“It’s alright,” Sean said, with a smile that everyone could see didn’t come from the bottom of his heart.

At that moment, he was akin to a fragile glass doll that could break anytime.” I don’t want to see him, either.”

Anyone could tell that he didn’t mean what he said.

Tears fell down Diana’s cheeks. She looked at her son standing right before her.

Sean was a child who wouldn’t cry, even when he took a fall.

When the twins were younger, Diana would often run out of energy taking care of both of them at the same time.

Once, she opened the windows of a room for ventilation. She needed to breastfeed them and drew the curtains to protect her privacy, but she forgot that the window behind it wasn’t closed properly.

After she was done breastfeeding, she carried Sean over her shoulders to burp him, so she could prevent bloating and make him feel more comfortable. When she stood and carried him, she heard a thud.

Diana’s mind went blank.

Sean was only four months old back then. His skull hadn’t fused together yet, and it was still very fragile.

When she carried him, she accidentally hit his head against the sharp corner of the window that wasn’t closed tightly.

It was such a sharp corner; he had collided with it with such force that even an adult might find it unbearable, not to mention an infant like him.

Sean himself was stunned for a few seconds.

He then pursed his lips, and cried out loud. His entire face was flushed red from crying; Diana knew it must hurt badly.

She was at a loss as to what to do, and wondered if she should send him to the hospital for a check-up.

Suddenly, Sean stopped crying. It was as if he was trying to comfort her and tell her that he was fine.

Diana cried back then, too. While she checked Sean’s head for injury, she was filled with remorse.

Her heart ached for Sean and his resilience; he must be feeling the pain of having his head hit the window. It clearly hurt badly, so much that his face went red. How could he possibly stop himself from crying so quickly?

Diana didn’t even need to coax him to stop.

Betty, on the other hand, was lying on the bed. Diana was paying attention to Sean and neglected her;

she ended up grabbing a cloth book, and it hit her face. She ended up crying a storm.

That book was made from cloth and didn’t cause any injury to her face, but Betty was inconsolable.

Diana had no choice but to put Sean down and carry Betty in her arms, and coax her for a while. Only then did she finally stop crying.

Even as infants, the twins’ personalities were worlds apart. Betty was the typical child who would smile when she was happy and cry when she was sad.

As the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Because of the difference in their characters, Betty was the twin who got more attention than Sean.

It wasn’t that everyone preferred her. It was just that sometimes, they would often neglect the child who didn’t whine or demand for things; the child who would instead do things for you in silence and give you comfort.

During this period, Diana was too caught up with her own feelings and Betty’s mood after she was taken away by Julian. She didn’t consider Sean.
