Chapter 831
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
The apartment Simon previously found had withdrawn the lease offer, so Diana told Oliver, âTil stay in this hotel for a couple of days until I find another apartment.â
Ideally, it would be in the suburbs with a good environment.
âCoincidentally, I have a vacant bungalow,â Oliver suggested when he heard about Bettyâs current condition. âItâs located in the suburbs. Thereâs a river outside, with mountains at the back and beautiful scenery all around. There are also many children in the neighborhood, which would be great for Betty and Sean to make new friends. If you want, you can bring the twins there.â
âNo need,â Diana said. She instinctively didnât want to have too much to do with Oliver.
Not just because of her instincts, but also because of his forceful approach that restricted her movements by force.
He was fast, accurate, and vicious-completely unlike his warm and gentle appearance.
âIâll give you the key and the address. Itâs up to you whether you want to go.â
Before Diana could reject him properly, he drove away.
Apartments in Richburgh were in high demand, and Diana couldnât find something suitable even after multiple attempts. Eventually, she decided to stay in the studio.
The moment she arrived, she realized that it was located in the city center where traffic was heavy.
Betty wouldnât even be able to relax, let alone fully recover.
Diana saw the tense look on Betty; her nose wrinkled up as tears welled up in her eyes.
âBetty.â Diana crouched down low and looked at Betty. âYou havenât called me Mommy in a while.â
Betty remained silent.
She simply stared at Diana in a daze.
What happened that day traumatized Betty badly.
Her daughter had become like this because of her. What else did Diana have to fear?
No matter the kind of person Oliver may be and his ulterior motives, she decided to look at his bungalow.
The environment was excellent indeed.
Diana could sense Betty relaxing the moment they arrived at the place.
âSean, do you like it here?â
Sean looked around in the bungalow, then back at his sister. Upon seeing her tense expression relax, his furrowed brows relaxed as well. âYes, I do.â
With that, the three of them officially settled down in the bungalow.
Everything was great, with the sole exception of having to travel far to the studio.
Diana had to wake up at four in the morning to prepare the twinsâ breakfast, wash them up, pack her things, and finally call a taxi to bring them all to the studio.
The studio hadnât been operating for a while, and there were many things Diana had to start from scratch.
Whatâs more, with the loss of her memories, she had to pick things up slowly based on Oliverâs description.
She would work hard during the day while taking care of the kids, the way until eleven oâclock at night.
Then, she would bring the twins home.
Even Sean and Betty lost weight together with Diana.
Her heart ached even more.
Thankfully, the housekeeping agency she contacted before found a suitable nanny for her, whom Diana immediately engaged with. Even so, she couldnât stay calm without her twins by her side.
Eventually, she decided to bring the nanny to the studio with her.
After working for Diana for two days, the nanny found Diana picky and troublesome. She paid the penalty for breaching the contract and left without a word.
Outstanding nannies had no lack of job opportunities in Richburgh.
Once again, Diana felt first-hand the differences between Richburgh and Stirling City. She wanted to look for another nanny, but found herself unable to find a suitable one.
Eventually, she had to resort to bringing the kids to work again.
To ensure a good level of nutrition and energy for them, Diana had no choice but to cut down on time for herself.
Within a week, she achieved her target of 120 pounds.
However, she had slimmed down too fast. As such, she didnât look to be in good condition.
