Chapter 1193

There was a fleeting sadness in Sean’s eyes.

He knew.

Julian liked girls.

Otherwise, why would Julian always be so gentle with Betty while making various demands of him and consistently ignoring his feelings?

Sean felt a pang of discomfort. Bitterness almost overwhelmed his small body, but he didn’t say anything.

He didn’t want to ruin the good atmosphere they had at the moment.

Deep down, however, he knew that he could never regard Julian the same way as he had initially, when he had eagerly anticipated and wanted to acknowledge Julian as his father.

No one knew the loneliness Sean carried in his heart.

Diana’s fetus was in a rapid growth stage due to her pregnancy, voraciously absorbing her nutrients.

Thus, she was a bit slow to notice Sean’s slight unease.

She happily picked up some food for her son, and said,” Sean, eat up.”

Seeing his mother so cheerful, Sean decided not to say anything. Yet, in his heart, he distanced himself a bit more from Julian.

Julian, thinking he had given the perfect answer earlier, happily held Sean. He wanted to discuss some computer- related topics with his son.

However, Sean wasn’t in the mood to respond.

Suddenly, Julian received a phone call, and his expression changed. The atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became heavy.

Diana paused and asked, “Julian, what’s wrong?”

Julian hung up, but didn’t immediately share the news.

He didn’t want to frighten the children. He waited until they had finished their meal and were taken downstairs to get some fresh air first. Then, he finally told Diana about the phone call.

“Professor Lemmington has passed away. His wife called me.”

He looked at Diana, and continued, “You stay with the children at the hospital tonight. I need to go home.”

Diana was still in shock, unable to react.

She felt a sudden wave of discomfort wash over her. “He was perfectly fine this morning. How could this happen by evening?”

Just like Madam Fulcher.

It was too fast, almost too difficult to accept.

“It was Enzo Jennings,” Julian explained. “He took some people and caused a scene at the professor’s place.”

Diana found it strange. “But didn’t we leave people to protect them?”

“We did,” Julian admitted with some frustration. “But I left too few. Mrs. Lemmington said she checked the surveillance footage at the entrance, and at that time…”

He hesitated and looked reluctant to continue. “At that time, Enzo brought five cars full of people.”

Diana exclaimed, “What was he trying to do? Kidnapping someone’s daughter isn’t enough, and now he wants to harm this elderly couple too?!”

“The surveillance had no sound, only video,” Julian said. “We don’t know the specifics of what happened at that time, but this incident is definitely linked to Enzo.”

No.” Diana refused to let Julian go alone. “I’m coming with you.”

She was already fine. Her bleeding had occurred because of excessive activity during the day, which had put stress on the unborn baby. As long as she rested at home, everything would be fine. There was no need to stay in the hospital.

However, Julian wouldn’t allow it. “You stay in the hospital with the twins. Don’t go anywhere!”

Diana knew him well, and quickly sensed that something else was amiss. “Julian, something happened not only at the professor’s house but also at our home, didn’t it?”

Julian hesitated for a moment.

How could he forget?

He could only nod. He tried to calm Diana first before admitting, “Don’t worry. It’s Collina Villa; Enzo vandalized it.”
