Chapter 1260

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1260 Julian turned around in a hurry.

“Betty! Why did you come out?”

He had no idea how much of his and Oliver’s conversation she had overheard. It was a good thing Betty was the one who came out. Even if she had caught some of their words, she was probably too young to fully understand.

It seemed Diana and Julian’s intelligence had all been passed on to Sean, who had upgraded himself to be better than them. Betty, on the other hand, was like a slowly blooming flower bud.

As long as Julian could change the subject quickly, he was confident Betty wouldn’t pester him with questions.

“What’s going on?” Julian crouched down to look at his adorable daughter. He couldn’t resist pinching her chubby cheeks. “Daddy saw you happily eating in the private room just now. Why did you suddenly come out? Do you need something?”

Betty nodded, indicating she was on board with Julian’s approach.

“There’s Daddy’s favorite meat.”

She took hold of Julian’s hand, and led him back into the private room while looking like she was about to drool. “I love it too. If you don’t come and eat soon, I’ll drool so much! I want to eat it all!”

Betty smiled shyly. “But I want to save the last few pieces for Daddy.”

Compared to her previous liveliness, Betty was becoming more and more like a demure little girl. She spoke with a softer, more tender tone that made people’s hearts feel just as tender.

Julian’s voice unconsciously softened, carrying a touch of gentleness one would use when talking to a little girl.

“Is that so? I see that you love Daddy so much. What should I give you to show you how much I love you too? Should I buy some new dolls for you?”

“I don’t like dolls as much I used to.” Betty thought for a while. Then, she looked up with a mischievous smile and sparkling eyes. “As long as Daddy’s happy, that’s the best reward for me.”

This girl…was so cute and sweet!

Who wouldn’t want such an affectionate little one to call their own?

Oliver felt a twinge of envy. He wished he could rush home right now and have a baby with Fanny.

However, he still needed to make arrangements for Sean. Though when he said “arrangements,” it was actually quite limited.

“Ultimately, you’ll need to do everything yourself. Many difficulties will require you to overcome them on your own.

What I can do is give you the location of the training squad’s medical room. If there are any issues, you must prioritize your health and see a doctor immediately.”

Julian knew his son was very capable and resilient.

In fact, Sean would become even more outstanding than his peers. He would surpass them by a considerable margin once the training with the squad was complete.

Ideally, having such a talented child should have filled him with anticipation and joy. However, he couldn’t find it in himself to be happy at this moment.

He found it difficult to listen to Oliver and Sean’s conversation. From a father’s perspective, imagining his child getting injured in the future was just too cruel.

In the end, it was Sean who comforted him.

“Daddy.”

Sean straightened up, like a young man.

Julian glanced at him, and nodded. “Yes?”

“What people call talent is ninety-nine percent hard work and one percent talent.

If I don’t work hard, others will eventually overshadow my intelligence. Daddy, I know where I’m headed.

Trust me and let me stay. In a year, I’ll definitely come back to you and Mommy.”

Once Sean finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment.

Then he turned away, not looking at Julian’s reddened eyes.

What had Sean been thinking in the past?

How could he have thought that Julian didn’t love him?

The love Julian had for him was clearly displayed.

There was no favoritism towards his sister like he had imagined.

Julian was just…

It was his first time being a father.

Sean and Betty were different in terms of personality and gender. Because of that, different approaches may be required when dealing with them in the same situation.
