Chapter 1105
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Diana reached out to the glass door, and gently wiped away some of the condensation. She could faintly make out that Sean was still frozen in the same position. He was still hugging himself and not moving.
Even breathing was painful.
The child was suffering.
Diana felt her heart break further, as though someone had taken the pieces and stomped on them.
Diana stood at the bathroom door, and dialed Julianâs phone number once more.
This time, he picked up. âHello, Iâ¦â
His voice was so indifferent, as if nothing had happened. In fact, he sounded quite joyful.
But their child, Sean, who had finally acknowledged Julian as his father after a long journey, was crying quietly in the bathroom.
He didnât deserve to be her husbandâ¦
Even less so, the father of their children!
Diana almost hissed through gritted teeth. âEarlier, why didnât you answer the phone?â
Julian immediately sensed that something was wrong.
But when he thought about how he would soon see her in person to tell her about the annulment, he ignored the warning signs. He smiled, and said, âI just left the Jarvis familyâs residence.â
The Jarvis familyâs residence?
Cecilia?
He was really something.
After giving Betty to Diana, he immediately went to see Cecilia. He didnât even ask a single question about Sean.
He was truly something!
Diana was on the verge of grinding her teeth to dust.
However, she was still afraid of misunderstanding him and wanted to double-check.
So, she asked, âDid you repair the bathtub at Ninaâs place?â
Julian hesitated.
Did Vans sell him out so quickly?
But he was in such a good mood now, and his laughter deepened.
Diana was always sensitive to his emotional changes.
At this moment, she was already seething with anger. She wished to hang up the phone immediately.
From now on, he shouldnât hope to see her, much less Sean! Julianâs reply came at the right moment.
His words warmed her cold heart immediately as he replied, âYeah. It was me.â His clear voice seemed to wash away all the negative thoughts in her mind. Even though they werenât as young as they used to be, his voice still held a magnetic charm that pulled at Dianaâs heart.
It really was him.
Her heart was somewhat soothed by his answer.
âWhy?â
âVans said the bathtub was broken, and Sean often takes baths. I was afraid it would inconvenience you at night,â Julian explained.
That wasnât what she meant.
âWhat I mean is, since you think of us so much, why didnât you come to see us?â
She had to put herself in Seanâs shoes now, as she could only fully grasp his sorrow by understanding his feelings.
âBetty is our child, but isnât that the same for Sean? You think of us so much and even wanted to fix the bathtub for us, but why wouldnât you come to see us?â
Julian hesitated after hearing this. âI didnât avoid you on purpose.â
It was then that he belatedly realized something about what she had said. âYou and Sean have actually been waiting for me to find you?â
His wordsâ¦were something Diana didnât originally want to admit, because she knew he was currently engaged to another woman.
As his former wife, if she answered his question, it would be a bit shameless of her no matter how she put it.
However, now, Sean needed her honesty as his mother.
âYes, we have been waiting for you-especially Sean. I called you just now because he really wanted to talk to you.â
Diana took a deep breath, as if this was the only way to restrain some of the pain in her heart and maintain enough composure to talk to Julian.
âAlthough you didnât give birth to him and havenât raised him much, his love for you is genuine.â
In so many divorced families, even if children didnât stay with their fathers, they acknowledged them. All inadequate fathers owed their children their pure love.
Dianaâs tone grew more pained as she continued. She bit her lip to prevent herself from crying, even treating it as a plea.
She suppressed her anger, and continued, âSo please, donât hurt him.â
