Chapter 1368
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
That was true.
Julian gradually realized what was amiss. âShe didnât even tell me about it before leaving, or discuss it with me.â
He had been eager to have a good conversation with Diana, but he overlooked the simple logic behind her travel decision.
âNo, I need to contact Layla first.â
He felt an urgent sense of being caught off guard that left him vulnerable.
Fortunately, Layla answered quickly. âSir, I finally got in touch with you!â
After Diana boarded the plane, Layla had been worried all day. What if something happened to Diana and Betty?
Julian hadnât followed them. What if something really did happen?
Layla quickly updated Julian on Diana and Jimâs interaction, and how Jim had booked the tickets for them.
Julian immediately caught on. âJim Hughes invited Diana to Jacroaof?â
âYes. There was originally a ticket for you too, but Madam couldnât reach you and was afraid of delaying the flight, so she left with Betty first.â
It was just a plane ticket. Couldnât the Fulchers afford that?
It was clear Diana deliberately took Betty to see Jim.
A bitter taste spread in his mouth, and Julian tried not grit his teeth. It gradually turned into a horrible aftertaste.
âIâll contact Diana again. Iâll go to Jacroaof and look for her,â Julian reassured Layla.
Since she didnât contact him, he would go find her.
Betty knew Julian wouldnât just sit back and do nothing. Taking advantage of Dianaâs lapse of attention, she opened her phone and checked the latest message from her father.
He said he was coming to find them.
And so, Betty stopped worrying.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
After all, no matter how angry her parents were at each other, they would quickly hug and kiss as soon as they met.
Seeing them like that made Betty feel rather embarrassed. She would turn her face away, pretending not to see anything.
Anyway, the first rule for Fulcher children was: never get involved in Mommy and Daddyâs fights, and never take either side.
Mommy and Daddy were always a team! If they showed favoritism to one side, they would only end up hurting themselves! A coupleâs teamwork was the best.
Betty understood this principle very well.
After confirming that Julian had taken action, she secretly turned off her phone again and put it back into Dianaâs bag.
Sigh.
It was tough.
Sean wasnât here.
As the younger sister, there were many things she needed to worry about.
Betty sighed again. She couldnât help but frown. When she noticed her mother looking at her, she immediately put on a smiling face.
However, in the end, the smile on her face quickly collapsed.
âMommy.â
âHmm?â
âI actuallyâ¦â Betty knew she shouldnât say this, but looking at Diana, she couldnât hold back. ââ¦kind of miss Sean.â
She lowered her head, looking very sad. Even without seeing her face, one could tell that her bright eyes were probably filled with tears now.
Diana couldnât bear to look; she, like Betty, missed Sean greatly.
Her son had been away from home for so long, and she couldnât even contact him with a phone call.
Now, she regretted not going with Julian to send him off that day. She wondered if he had gotten thinner during training.
Sean had definitely lost weight.
Now, he was a bag of bones. There were scars on his body, making him resemble a pitiful little dog. He had to use a dog bowl to eat, and had to lie on the ground to consume the food.
Despite this, he was satisfied.
After all, he survived, right?
Even the slightest movement of his fingers caused excruciating pain.
He could only prop himself up with his elbows and then lower his head into the bowl, licking and eating bit by bit.
His feet were also badly injured.
