Chapter 845
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julian was indeed Sean and Bettyâs biological father.
When Sean heard the news, he maintained his cool expression. During lunchtime, he visibly ate more.
It seemed a weight had been lifted off his little shoulders.
Diana couldnât stop worrying. She didnât know if Julian would refuse to believe her even after knowing the results. He might even accuse her of trying to trick him again. That would surely hurt Seanâs feelings.
She had to ensure Julian treated the children kindly. She couldnât have him coldly deny their relationship in front of the children when they meet again. It was important for her to think carefully on how she could achieve that.
The kindergarten teacher noticed her daydreaming, and called her several times. âMs. Winnington, are you paying attention?â
Diana quickly nodded. âYes, of course. Your teaching staff is excellent, and your education philosophy of connecting with nature to nurture childrenâs instincts is wonderful.â
âThatâs good to hear,â the teacher responded kindly. âBefore the start of classes in September, please keep an eye on our enrollment information. Once itâs open, many people will sign up. Make sure not to miss it.â
Diana nodded. âIf I want to enroll my children, what are the requirements?â
âWe require a Richburgh household registration and the property certificate of a nearby residence, commonly known as double certificates.â
âDouble certificates,â Diana muttered. âSo, I canât apply without these two documents?â
âThatâs correct.â
She had already given up on marrying Simon. As for the childrenâs household registration⦠She could only hope Julian would be willing to accept the transfer of their household registration.
But now, he had Cecilia Jarvis by his side.
It would be good enough if he could accept the paternity test results and treat the children kindly. Diana didnât dare to think about the household registration transfer.
As for the property certificateâ¦
At first, Diana thought she could afford the properties in Richburgh. After looking around, she discovered that even a regular three-bedroom apartment would cost almost a million dollars. She had seen almost all the houses near the kindergarten, and the conclusion was clear-they were beyond her means.
Over the years, she had saved what she thought was enough for a comfortable life in Stirling City.
Upon arriving in Richburgh, she realized more was needed.
She felt defeated-her dream of sending her kids to a public kindergarten in Richburgh was shattered.
She had to shift her focus to private ones instead.
Private kindergartens didnât require a household registration or a property certificate. Plus, she could afford the tuition fees for each semester. With the children starting school in autumn, she couldnât delay anymore.
She hurriedly screened through several kindergartens, and finally settled on an international bilingual one near her studio named Bilingo Kindergarten.
The enrollment officer was kind to her. âBefore the autumn enrollment, we need to meet the children and conduct an interview. Are you okay with that?â
âOf course,â Diana replied.
She had been running around all day to find an appropriate kindergarten for her two precious children, and she was exhausted.
âThen letâs meet in the office tomorrowâ¦â
Before the enrollment officer could finish, Diana heard the sound of high heels clicking on the floor.
Turning around, she saw a woman approaching her. The woman turned to the enrollment officer and said haughtily,â I object to her children attending this kindergarten!â
Dianaâs eyes widened. âOn what grounds are you saying that? It Was this another person with a grudge against her?
The woman, Kiki, looked at Diana disdainfully. âOn the grounds that I know your children donât have a father.â
Kiki turned to the enrollment officer, sneering. âAccording to the kindergarten rules, children with disabilities or from broken families arenât accepted. One of her children has autism and canât speak.
They donât have a father, and were raised in a single-parent family.â
