Chapter 1424
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Since then, Julian didnât pay much attention to the information that Betty sent his way.
It was the same this time.
After thinking things through, Julian finally stopped panicking.
In fact, the more Betty texted him, the more it seemed as though the mother and daughter pair was having fun. At the very least, they werenât in any sort of danger.
Meanwhile, things were going well in the hotel that Diana was staying in. At that moment, Betty was walking out of the washroom.
After secretly texting Daddy, Betty would look down guiltily when facing Diana, as if she had done something wrong. The moment Diana called her name, she looked up in shock, exposing her flushed face.
She had just taken a bath, and her hair was still wet.
To make it easy to apply baby lotion on her, Diana wrapped her up in a towel. Wet locks of hair hung down, sticking against her little face and outlining her forehead. Paired with her flushed face, she looked just like a nice, ripe apple.
Diana couldnât stop herself from planting huge, wet kisses on Bettyâs cheeks.
âMy darling,â she said as she rubbed lotion on Betty, while subtly glancing at the phone in the room.
Diana had the habit of putting her phone screen down. At one glance, she could see that Bettyâs phone screen was facing up. Someone had clearly touched it.
She immediately knew that Betty must have contacted Julian. The father and daughter pair shared a great relationship, after all.
Diana didnât ask anything more, and simply thought that Julian would be here very soon.
They hadnât been apart for so long since they got remarried. Diana didnât feel too good being so far apart from him for so long all of a sudden.
That feeling probably meant she missed him.
Diana thought of that term, and looked down with a smile.
She smiled so sweetly, Betty couldnât help but sing her praise, âMommy, if I could be as beautiful as you when I grow up, that would be great.â
âWhy?â Diana asked. âIsnât it good to look like Daddy instead?â
Betty shook her head. âDaddy looks like a man. Iâm a girl. If I look like him, thatâs not too goodâ¦â
Her little mouth kept moving.
âIf I look like him, wouldnât I then look like a man? I might have a beard.â Betty shuddered at the mere thought. âI donât want a beardâ¦â
She wanted to be a little princess with fair, dewy skin.
Diana was always defeated by Bettyâs strange yet cute logic.
âYou wonât become a man if you look like Daddy. That just means your face look like his,â Diana explained. âThink about it. If you have Daddyâs face, wouldnât you look good?â
Julianâs looks were unmatched.
âI wonâtâ¦â Betty looked at Dianaâs glowing face. âI still think Mommy looks better.â
She leaned in, and hugged Dianaâs neck.
At that moment, Betty suddenly remembered that Diana was pregnant, and immediately stood up straight. She asked Diana cautiously, âMommy, did I squash my sisters?â
âNot at all.â
Diana felt that everyone was feeling more anxious than she was in this pregnancy. She was probably the most relaxed out of all of them.
âStand over here. Iâll blow your hair.â
âNo need,â Betty said with a shake of her head. She pouted, and said firmly, âI can dry my own hair.
Daddy said I should do things by myself and not make things tough for you, Mommy.â
âItâs not tough.â
Diana pulled Betty over. She didnât forget to tease Betty, saying, âNow you remember what Daddy said.
Why do you always like to cover your ears and say that you wonât listen whenever Daddy says something?â
âThatâs because I see Daddy and hear Daddy every day,â Betty said. âNow that weâre apart from Daddy, I miss him so much. The less I see Daddy, the more important he becomes.â
