Chapter 1247

Betty smiled brightly, and rolled her eyes at Diana. “Mommy, what are you talking about? Landy is my best friend! We see each other every day, why would I miss her?”

Landy was Betty’s new friend, not the one who just went overseas.

This girl…

Was so forgetful.

And yet, she lived her life so happily.

Sean was different. Until now, he was able to differentiate clearly between Simon and Oliver, the latter being someone he had only met twice. For the first time, Diana ignored her daughter and kept her eyes on Sean.

In the depths of her heart, she finally began to understand how different Sean was from his sister.

Julian was right. Sean…

Wasn’t an ordinary child.

He would be very successful in the future.

Diana wasn’t exactly very excited about that realization.

Conversely, she felt rather disappointed. An outstanding child had much more burdens to bear. His future would likely be fraught with challenges and difficulties.

She could almost see Betty and Sean’s lives on two parallel lines. Sean would have a vast ocean to conquer, while Betty would grow up happily under her and Julian’s protection.

As for Sean…

His world was way too huge for them to protect.

Children were bound to eventually surpass their parents.

The future belonged to the young ones.

Thinking that, she had mixed feelings.

“Yes, I asked Mr. Channing about the training squad. What about it?” Diana shot her son a smile.”Do you think Mr.your mother?”

Sean shook his head. “If he spares me, he wouldn’t be able to assume the position of the person-in-charge of the training squad.”

Diana burst out laughing.

Sean’s answer was impeccable, and indicated a clarity in thinking that belonged only to adults.

This child matured way too early.

The realization left her feeling even more torn than earlier in the morning, when Sean told her about wanting to join the training squad.

On one hand, she was glad to know how extraordinary her child was. On the other, her heart ached thinking about the challenges he might face in the future.

Diana felt both glad and heartache at the same time.

Eventually, she decided it was best to hand the decision rights to Sean.

Diana looked at Sean, and sighed. “No parent who loves their child can go against their child’s wishes. I’ve lost once more, when pitted against you and your opinion.”

Seeing Sean with no appetite was worse than killing her.

With that, she left the dining hall.

Her back looked so desolate and dismal.

She caressed her babies in her tummy, suddenly wondering why she wanted to give birth to them.

They would leave her the moment they grow up. Her babies, whether they be girls or boys, wouldn’t stay for their entire lives.

No matter if they grew up extraordinarily or otherwise, they had their own lives to lead.

Even clueless Betty would end up getting married and having children of her own.

Diana and Julian would have to dress up well and marry her off.

Giving her hand in marriage to another man.

The mere thought of that made Diana extremely upset. Her heart ached.

Julian sensed that Diana was in a bad mood. He put down his fork, and rushed over.
