Chapter 1179
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julian didnât hear what she said after that.
Water splashing from the shower could be heard from the washroom.
He came out of the washroom after a while, drying his hair with a towel. Beads of water dripped down from his fringe, sliding down his nose bridge.
Splat.
It dripped on the floor.
Dianaâs eyes glazed over as she stared at him. Julian smiled as he walked toward her. âYou really donât want anymore?â
She smiled back at him knowingly, chemistry shared only between a couple deeply in love brewing.
âWhat exactly are you referring to?â
No matter her desire, he was set on taking her to bed again.
The next time they opened their eyes, they were woken up by the twins.
Betty found it strange. âMommy, time for dinner! Do you two take afternoon naps together? You napped longer than Sean and me!â
Coughâ¦
Diana hurriedly put on her clothes under the sheets.
She finally emerged from the sheets after wearing her clothes, and opened the windows. âBetty, how did you get in here?â
Betty looked at Diana as if she was silly, and rolled her eyes. âDear Mommy, I pushed the door open.
What else? Could I have jumped in through the windows? Mommy, Iâm not Spiderman or Ultraman. You think too much.â
Diana clarified, âI meant that the door was locked. How could you possibly just push the door openâ¦â
âSean was around,â Betty said. She pointed at Sean, who was standing at the door. He didnât enter the room, but he wasnât leaving either.
He simply stood there, looking coolly at them.
Diana walked toward him, and held his hand. âSean, how did you open the door?â
âSimple,â Sean said casually, âI have a laptop.â
It was a new laptop that Julian recently bought him.
Recently, it had become his favorite thing.
He stopped playing with all his toys and reading his books, spending all his time looking at his laptop instead.
Diana was worried that his eyesight might get affected, and wanted to confiscate the laptop from him.
However, Sean was unwilling to hand it over. In the end, Diana didnât want to force him.
Because of this, she was angry with Julian for a few days.
She blamed him for giving their son a laptop.
âEvery child is different,â Julian said. âSome children get addicted to electronic devices, but some children will use them as a stepping stone to learn more about this world.â
Diana said, âI would have believed you if I didnât know youâre scared of Sean. You keep wanting to please him because he wasnât happy you chose Betty before, and not him.â
Julian insisted, âJust you wait. See if Sean will make full use of this laptop or not.â
Right now, Diana could sense that Julianâs words were coming true.
She looked at Sean, and asked, âSean, tell me more. How did you open the door with the laptop?â
Seanâs brows furrowed when he heard Dianaâs question. â The door lock is electronic.â
He looked doubtful, wondering why Diana would ask such a silly question.
Having received that same look from Betty just moments ago, Diana started thinking that she must really be stupid.
Why did her brain suddenly turn so dull?
She had to cheer herself on before she could look back at the twins and ask, âAnd then?â
Thankfully, Sean was still very respectful to his mommy.
He didnât find her annoying. He simply found her stupidity slightly unbelievable. How could silly Mommy give birth to a son like him?
It seemed he had to treat Mommy even better from now on.
âAnd then, nothing,â Sean said, his eyes gazing at Diana with pity. âI just tapped the keyboard, and then the lock on your door will open automatically.â
Betty even imitated the sound of the door unlocking at the perfect time. âBeepâ¦â
She looked back at Diana, and said sympathetically,â Mommy, do you understand it now? Thatâs how the door was unlocked.â
The sense of inferiority Diana got from her twins stunned her to silence.
This couldnât stand.
She had to get her husband here!
