Chapter 1351
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Diana didnât think she should have said that.
However, she also didnât think she should apologize to Nina.
After all, she had Ninaâs best interests at heart.
It was precisely because she had experienced so much pain before that Diana hoped Ninaâs relationship would be smooth-sailing, and that she would end up happy.
â¦Instead of hopelessly waiting for Vans to fulfill his promise.
Hopelessly becoming a third wheel in someone elseâs relationship, treating whatever leftover moments she could have as happiness.
That was too cruel to Nina.
A pity Nina was too deep in her affections for Vans that she couldnât pull herself out of it.
Diana didnât open the door for Julian despite him knocking, and he had wanted to key in the password to enter the room. However, he was worried that she would be angry if he did that. He had no choice but to call Betty over.
He hoped Betty would be able to cheer Mommy up, enough that she would leave the room.
At the moment, Betty was playing in her room. Diana hadnât taken her to Fannyâs funeral.
Julian barged into Bettyâs room in a panic.
Seeing him, Betty yelled unhappily, âDaddy!â
Her voice was loud and clear.
Julian trembled in fright. He looked at his daughter, not daring to lift his foot to take another step.
Shocked, he asked, âWhatâs the matter?â
Betty pouted, the annoyance clear on her face. âYou didnât knock.â
A polite person always knocks before entering a room.
Julian could only enter after getting permission.
He and Diana had always treated their children that way, never disregarding their privacy.
Unfortunately, he had been too anxious today. That was why he barged in without knocking.
Before he had a chance to explain himself, Betty said huffily, âGo out and knock on the door.â
Who else could have such a hold over Julian, with the sole exception of Diana and his twins?
In the future, there would be two more to the list.
The thought of his two daughters in Dianaâs womb delighted him. He was more than happy to be bullied by his little darling.
Julian stepped out obediently.

This time, he knocked on the door.
However, no one opened the door.
Knock, knock.
He knocked again.
Betty didnât say anything to let him in.
Julian was getting anxious. He was hoping Betty would step forward and cheer Diana up, but Betty wasnât cooperating at all.
Julian was starting to panic. âBetty! Betty? Iâm already knocking on your door. Why arenât you letting me in?â
Bettyâs childish voice sounded from inside, âI told you to knock, but I didnât say Iâd let you in.â
Julian was stunned. âBut Daddy has something to ask you. If you donât let Daddy in, how is Daddy going to talk to you?â
âI donât want to talk to you,â Betty replied.
Then, music started playing. It drowned out her voice in the room.
Betty had never behaved like this. Why did she keep shutting him out today?
Julian instinctively felt that something must have happened to Betty. For all he knew, she might be angry with him.
However, he couldnât for the life of him remember when he had offended this little princess.
He could only say pleadingly, âBetty, my darling baby, Daddy and Mommy needs you. Your baby sisters in Mommyâs tummy need you as well. Can you please come with me to coax Mommy? Iâ¦â
Before he was done, the door swung wide open.
He looked into Bettyâs red-rimmed eyes. âMommy needs to be happy. Your baby sisters in Mommyâs tummy need to be happy, too.â
Through Julianâs daily brainwashing, Betty also firmly believed that Diana was carrying twin girls. She would usually call the unborn babies her sisters.
âWhat about me?â Betty looked at him, and added tearfully, âDaddy, donât I need to be happy too?â
Hah!
That tone clearly betrayed her anger!
Julian felt his head throb, suddenly not knowing which one of them he should coax first.
