Chapter 856

Diana felt as if someone had hit her head with a brick.

This was the child she had painstakingly brought up day by tedious day, night by torturous night, through all the fatigue of not getting even three hours of sleep a day.

She thought she understood him, but in actual fact, Julian’s words had more power over her child than she did as his mother.

Not only was Sean willing to acknowledge Julian, but he was even willing to go home with Julian and abandon his mother.

“Mommy, don’t be sad.” Sean remained very clear-minded. ” It’ll be good for everyone if Betty and I go home with Daddy.”

That was especially so given Betty’s condition. “The house we’re staying in belongs to Uncle Simon.

We’ll have to return it to him one day.”

Since they now had a father, he didn’t want Mommy to be involved with other men.

That might make Daddy angry.

Sean had been seriously contemplating what getting married meant.

Of course, he understood that his mommy and Mr. Julian were currently divorced.

But this didn’t change the fact that they were his and Betty’s parents.

Nothing could change the ties between all four of them.

“And Da-” He paused for a moment. After a while, he finally used the term he longed to for so long, but was so foreign to him. “Daddy’s place has many beautiful rooms. It has everything, and it’s just like a playground. Betty will surely love it there. Daddy even said he’d hire the best doctor to take care of Betty.

Daddy’s rich and powerful.

There’s no harm following Daddy.

No one will dare hurt us, and we’ll be very happy.”

Sean’s words hit Diana’s head like a brick.

She knew he was right.

Julian’s conditions were far superior to hers.

And yet, her very own son, whom she single-handedly raised, didn’t seem to yearn for her.

Diana felt like she was on the verge of an emotional breakdown.

She never expected herself to be defeated so decisively.

However, she didn’t let her sorrow show.

She tried to suppress her nasal voice. She crouched low and said to Sean, “You’re so smart, Sean.

You’ve analyzed it correctly. Before, I told you that I’ll support whatever decision you make. Since you want to go with Daddy, go ahead. I’ll pack your things right now.”

With that, she could no longer hold herself back and rushed into the room. She hurriedly closed the door shut.

If she stayed outside for a second longer, she feared she might just burst into tears.

She had never felt so indignant.

She had worked so very hard, yet her children didn’t choose to stay with her.

“Am I a failure of a mother?”

Suddenly, she heard the sound of the door open and shut. Even without looking, she knew that Julian had come in.

He was probably feeling very smug right now.

He didn’t do anything and never sacrificed anything. He didn’t need to say anything, but the children acknowledged him. Even Sean was willing to take Betty and leave with him.

Her children didn’t want her anymore.

They didn’t want their mother.

The sight of her trembling shoulders told Julian that she was crying.

To be honest, he didn’t expect things to turn out this way.

He thought Sean would try spending a bit of time with him first, before slowly moving to his house to trying things out with him.

But now, the boy had calmly analyzed the situation and was willing to go home with him.

He’d be lying if he said it didn’t make him happy.

At the same time, he wasn’t happy. As to why…
