Chapter 1090

The four of them left the neighborhood, laughing and chatting away.

Nina couldn’t fulfil Betty’s request of persuading Julian into coming into see them.

Still, she made Vans stay outside to keep watch. That way, she would have an explanation for Betty should the girl demand for one.

Thankfully, Vans was still around. That meant that Julian was still around too, even though he didn’t walk in. His car was still around as well.

Nina sighed in relief as she brought them all to his car.

Yet the closer they approached the car, the more obvious Vans’s displeasure was.

“What’s the matter?” Nina asked.

A bad feeling rose in her chest. She carried Betty, and walked ahead of Diana. Upon looking into the car, she realized that no one was inside.

Panicked, she demanded, ‘Where is he?”

Vans looked helplessly at her.

After Nina attended that banquet three years ago, she hadn’t reconciled with Vans. Thus, he aimed to please her as much as he could. If he could help it, he would never let Julian leave.

But…

Vans showed Nina the suit jacket in his arms. “I grabbed his jacket and refused to let him go, but he removed it and left anyway.”

Nina and Diana were both flabbergasted.

Was there a need for Julian to hide himself so well?

The great CEO of Fulcher Inc, leaving his car behind and running off by himself just so he wouldn’t see her and Sean!

Betty and Sean didn’t know what to say.

Diana had no idea how she could explain the current situation to Sean. Looking at him, she saw that his smile had disappeared. Once more, he fell silent.

She lowered her head, the expectations in her heart vanishing in that instant. The sudden surge of desire to see Julian no matter what it took, and the determination to take a step toward him, were immediately replaced by anger.

Her heart ached terribly as she mumbled, “Sean…”

Tears began welling up in Sean’s eyes-eyes that resembled Julian’s so much.

When Sean realized that Diana and Betty were looking at him, he hurriedly tried to blink his tears back.

He said to Diana, “That’s fine. It’s not as if I won’t see him again next time.”

Diana was infuriated by Julian. She looked at Sean and said, “Do you still want to see him? As long as you say you want to, Mommy will definitely make it happen today.”

Sean knew Diana wouldn’t believe him if he didn’t tell her the truth.

“I do, but not today.” He looked at Diana. ‘Today’s the day we buy fresh flowers for that old grandma and our two brothers.”

Since Betty was here right now, today was the best day for them to do so. If they didn’t go today, Sean wondered until when they would have to postpone it.

Betty didn’t understand. “Old grandma? Which old grandma? Brothers? Brothers from where?”

Sean tried to explain things to her. ‘They’ve become stars in the sky.”

Betty became even more confused. Shocked, she asked, ” You mean, we’re flying up to the skies? To look at stars?”

‘We’re not flying up to the skies to look at stars,” Diana corrected Betty.

She explained to Betty what she used to explain to Sean, about how people become stars after they pass away.

“Sean’s telling you that we’re taking you to see your GreatGrandma and brothers.”

The mention of Aster and Star calmed Diana’s anger.

“Besides Sean, you have two other older brothers. Although you’ve never met them and you won’t meet them in the future, they’ve become stars and are always with us. Let’s go take a look,” she added.

As Sean said before, they could always see Julian next time.
