Chapter 1248

In regard to Sean joining the training squad, Diana had in fact indirectly given her approval.

However, Sean witnessed his mother’s reluctance and helplessness. It was far from the happiness he had imagined.

Diana and Julian spent a long time in their room. She gazed at the door, where she was waiting for the knock to come.

“I feel thoroughly defeated in the face of our son,” Diana couldn’t help but grumble to Julian. “Back when they were just born, I felt awkward when peopleat old yet.

How did I become a mother? I was even too embarrassed to call myself a mom.

“But somewhere along the way, I started to accept it. I also referred to myself as ‘Mommy’. I now realize that the first step to truly accepting the role of a mother isn’t learning to love your child. Loving your child is something that comes naturally and effortlessly. The difficult part is learning how to step back from your child’s life.”

When a son grows up and wants to get married, too much parental interference could lead to a broken family.

When a daughter grows up and wishes to marry, excessive parental involvement could also hinder her happiness.

“Since he really wants to join, we should let him,” Diana finally decided. She looked at Julian. But I can’t bring myself to send him off with a smile. You should take Betty with you when the time comes. I happen to have a checkup at the hospital with Nina.”

She hadn’t had the time to entertain Nina lately, and she wasn’t sure how things were going between Nina and Vans. Diana saw this as an opportunity to have a chat with her best friend.

Julian calculated the days. “Is it time for another prenatal checkup?”

Diana nodded.

“There are frequent prenatal checkups during the first few months, especially in the first trimester. It could be twice a week, even. Later on, there will be non invasive DNA and NT scans. When it’s time for the NT scan, you’ll be able to see a picture of the babies inside my belly.”

As soon as she said this, Julian brightened up. “That sounds amazing!”

Diana smiled. “Of course. You’ll see for yourself when the time comes. If we’re lucky, some babies even stick their tongues out at us from inside the belly. It’s adorable!”

As she said this, even her expressions became animated.

Julian couldn’t help but tease her, “Who was it that said we shouldn’t have another child? Look at how happy you are now. It proves that the process of conceiving and raising children is still quite wonderful.”

Diana pondered. “You’re right. Raising them is the happiest part, though.”

That was how their final decision about Sean was made.

In the end, Sean didn’t change his mind about going.

Diana couldn’t help but swallow her reluctance, and helped him pack his bags.

Finally, she sent him off. However, she didn’t get in the car.

Sean looked disappointed. “Mommy, are you not coming to see me off?”

“No, I won’t,” Diana said.

She was afraid that if she went and saw the training camp and the training grounds, she wouldn’t be able to resist shuffling Sean back into the car and returning home.

Even if she didn’t bring him back, she was afraid she would cry uncontrollably, making everyone uncomfortable. That also wouldn’t be good.

“Your father and Mr. Channing will both be there. Don’t worry. If you have any problems, tell Mr. Channing, and he’ll inform me.”

At the training squad, Sean’s phone would be confiscated.

He wouldn’t be able to contact the outside world for the next year. When they met again this time next year, it would be a few months after she gave birth to the babies in her belly.

Diana met with Nina at the hospital, and said sadly, “I thought they’d be with me during this delivery. I have my husband with me this time, but my son isn’t here.”

Nina smacked Diana playfully, and scolded her. “Stop saying such ominous things! What do you mean, he isn’t here? He’s my godson. Don’t jinx us so casually. He’s doing well in the training squad.”
