Chapter 1371
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
His cheeks felt like soft marshmallows. It was a comforting sensation, and the most unforgettable thing Diana had ever experienced.
More than once, Diana thought that it would be perfect if Sean and Betty never grew up. That way, they could forever stay as little bundles in her embrace. Their little heads could snuggle into her armsâ
unlike now, as they gradually developed their own thoughts with age.
At times, she felt like she couldnât keep up with how fast they were growing.
She sighed.
At this moment, Betty was completely immersed in the world of marshmallows, oblivious to Dianaâs low spirits.
The colorful marshmallows were mixed into a large mass, resembling a pink blanket against the blue sky. Burying oneâs mouth in it would yield a mouthful of sweetness.
âMommy!â
Betty was visibly excited. Usually, she didnât have the chance to try these street snacks at home.
Having been on her best behavior lately during the trip, Dianaâs tolerance for Bettyâs food requests was growing.
Betty couldnât resist pushing the boundaries, and dared herself to try these high-sugar treats.
Fortunately, Diana didnât stop her.
Instead, she joined in. She opened her mouth, and took a bite of the marshmallow.
âItâs so sweet!â she said.
Seeing this, Betty laughed gleefully. âMommy, Iâm so happy I can travel with you!â
Diana smiled. âMommy is happy, too.â
She hoped her regrets of not having her children stay as little bundles would gradually fade away.
âGrowing at a normal speed is better, after all.â
Growing up had its own advantages. She couldnât be selfish and wish for the children to stay by her side forever just because she missed their childhood.
Betty was still small, and she was just a cute baby whose attention was wholly on the marshmallow.
She was completely unaware of Mommyâs delicate thoughts.
Fortunately, Diana gradually became happier over time.
Sean would definitely be fine!Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
She reminded herself not to be overly worried, and to focus on enjoying the traveling with her daughter.
While she became increasingly cheerful, Julian, on the other hand, grew more solemn.
âWhat?â
Julianâs expression was rarely clouded with a layer of gloom, and now, it cast a dark shadow over his face. Noel had been by Julianâs side for many years, yet he had never seen this expression on Julianâs face before. It made him uneasy.
âI canât buy any plane tickets with my ID? What about train and high-speed rail tickets?â
Noel nodded. âAll of them. Whatâs even stranger is that everything is normal under your name, whether itâs personal or within the group. Thereâs no situation where your travel is restricted due to violating legal provisions.â
âThen why canât the purchase go through?â
Noel shook his head. âI donât know. Anyone else can buy tickets with their IDs without a problem. But as soon as itâs your ID, it shows a ticket purchase failure.â
âWhat about our own helicopter?â Julian didnât want to waste time on this matter; he cared more about the result. âIf we fly there ourselves, we should be able to reach Jacroaof, right?â
âWe canât.â Noel became even more troubled, almost instinctively nervous. He pushed his glasses up, and said, âIâve checked the helicopter, and thereâs an issue with the instrument panel. Currently, there are no suitable helicopter mechanics available. Strangely enough, theyâre all on collective vacation.â
In short, Julianâs attempt to leave Richburgh for Jacroaof wasnât as easy as he thought.
âWhat if I drive to Jacroaof myself?â
Julian refused to believe in this jinx.
Upon hearing Julianâs words, Noelâs expression became increasingly difficult to describe. It resembled someone realizing there was no toilet paper after using the bathroom.
