Chapter 773

Betty saw Diana remain silent for a long time, and finally couldn’t hold herself back any longer. She buried her little face in Diana’s neck and rubbed back and forth in a bid to attract Diana’s attention.

“Mommy!”

“What’s the matter?” Diana caressed the fleshy part of Betty’s little ears. ‘Tell me, Betty. I’m listening.”

Mommy became gentle again. This was nice.

Betty couldn’t help but blurt out the thing that troubled her the most. “Mr. Fulcher.Js someone else’s daddy.”

“Huh?” Diana’s heart leapt. She had never heard Simon mention that Julian was married with kids.

Based on Simon’s explanation, Julian was probably waiting single-mindedly for Kayla to come out of jail. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be going around treating other ladies who resemble Kayla as her replacement.

“Doreen,” Betty reminded Diana. “He’s Doreen’s daddy.”

She heard Doreen call him “Daddy” with her own ears.

That was when realization dawned upon Diana.

For some reason, fury filled her heart and burned her throat, making her whole body feel uncomfortable.

“No wonder he didn’t ask that kid to apologize to you.”

So that girl was his own daughter!

Diana’s brows furrowed in anger as she felt her throat burning.

On second thought, she said, “On the other hand, it’s reasonable isn’t around.”

“No!” Betty didn’t fully understand the whole story, but she was capable of retelling a mommy. She’s the one who gives Mr. Fulcher his medicine!”

“Huh?” That was strange.

This was completely inconsistent with what Simon claimed.

From his words, Julian was fully devoted to Kayla.

But right now, what she was hearing was that Julian had a child with another woman.

Such conflicting facts made Diana grow doubtful about Simon’s words.

Very soon, she corrected herself and even scolded herself for being heartless and ungrateful.

Simon treated her so well. How could he possibly lie to her?

It was more likely that Julian was a philanderer and was involved with other women while claiming to be single- heartedly devoted to Kayla.

Yet, he didn’t fight to get Kayla out of jail because of Doreen’s mother.

He even behaved inappropriately around her despite having She actually put Betty in the hands of a man of such shady character!

Diana shuddered to think what worse could possibly have happened. She was still a little shaken even after telling Simon what had happened upon reaching home.

“Pardon me.” Diana saw Simon’s face change and belatedly realized that she might have said something wrong. “It doesn’t seem right of me to be talking bad about your brother to you.”

That wasn’t really it.

Simon was just wondering if it was really right of him to mislead Diana and let the twins see Julian, but be unable to acknowledge him as their father.

Yet, he had no other way out.

The moment he revealed the truth, everything would be over.

Diana would certainly return to Julian’s side.

Then, what about him?

Would he end up all alone once again?

No, he didn’t want that.

He had a hand in bringing up the twins.

So what if Julian was their biological father?

He didn’t raise them!

Even when Diana was in critical condition while giving birth and desperately needed someone by her side, he was the one who waited for her outside the operating theater.

The thought calmed Simon down.

A dark shadow clouded his eyes once more.

That look in his eyes was so frightening, it made Betty tremble with fear.

Diana hugged Betty, and subconsciously followed Betty’s line of vision. She looked up at Simon and asked, as if possessed, “Simon, do you know…Oliver Channing?”
