Chapter 1358

At the airport, Betty looked excited. She hadn’t been far from home in a long time.

“Mommy, is it really just going to be the two of us?”

Layla was done with check-in, and was giving Diana the travel documents. Diana took tidied them up before replying to Betty, “Yes, just the two of us. Don’t you want that?”

Betty clasped her hands together. “Of course, I want that!”

It’s just that…

“It’ll be even better if Daddy comes along.”

If Sean were around too, it’d be perfect!

However, Betty didn’t dare bring up Sean in front of Diana.

The few times she did that, Diana would sob uncontrollably. Since then, she never mentioned anything regarding Sean before Diana.

She missed Sean.

Mommy missed Sean even more.

Thinking of him, Betty’s heart sank. But very soon, her disappointment was replaced by the excitement of new adventures awaiting her.

“But it’s alright even if Daddy doesn’t come along.”

Betty was a sweet-talker. She saw the in Diana’s eyes, and immediately hugged Diana and gave her mother cheek a little peck. “With me around, we’ll have lots of fun, Mommy!”

Diana smiled and caressed Betty’s head, leaning forward to kiss her daughter. Then she said to Layla, “Don’t worry, just head back home. I’ll be with Betty. There’ll be no problems.”

Despite Diana’s assurance, Layla couldn’t bring herself to not worry.

She felt troubled throughout the whole journey. “Mrs. Fulcher.”

Layla’s brows furrowed, her fingers intertwining with each other and her face all wrinkled. “Why don’t I…give Mr. Fulcher a call first? We should at least inform him about something as major as you taking Ms. Betty out for a holiday.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

“No need,” Diana said with a wave of her hands. She placed her hands firmly on Layla’s shoulders, and turned her in the direction of the exit of the airport. “Layla, go back in peace. I’ll tell Julian about this. He won’t blame you, even if he finds out.”

Julian knew Jim, anyway.

There was no reason for him to worry about her going for a holiday.

More importantly, Oliver really needed the company.

Diana felt assured knowing that Julian was with Oliver. Perhaps the two of them could do something for Fanny.

“I’m not worried about Mr. Fulcher blaming me,” Layla said, beginning to panic so much that her voice broke.

“You’re pregnant, and with twins to boot. The flight takes a few hours, and you need to take care of Ms.

Betty as well. How can I feel assured? Why don’t you let me come along with you? How about that?”

Diana rejected Layla at once. “No need.”

She was going to impose on Jim, and he was bound to host her and extend hospitality to her. If she brought another person he didn’t invite, it might seem rude.

Diana didn’t want to trouble Jim too much.

“I’ll be fine by myself,” she said. “We’re taking business class, and the flight attendants can help me.

Betty doesn’t even really need me now. Layla, please don’t worry.”

Diana lifted her fingers, and swore to Layla, “I’ll take care of myself and Betty, and make sure that nothing happens to us.”

With that, she gave the chauffeur a look. “Take Layla back.”

It was about time for them to board the flight.

Staying in Richburgh would make Diana keep thinking about Fanny and Nina.

One made her lament about the uncertainties of life, bringing her indescribable regret and pity, while the other hurt her heart deeply.

The human tongue was like a sharp blade, capable of piercing her heart and making her feel terrible.

Leaving Richburgh for a while would prevent her from thinking about these things and give her a breather.

Seeing Diana’s determination, Layla gave up trying to persuade Diana. She turned back to look at Diana many times as she walked out of the airport.

The concern Layla had for Diana warmed her, and she could feel the pain in her heart slowly healing.

Soon, the plane shot into the clouds.

Diana placed her hands on her belly, worried that the flight might negatively affect the fetuses.
