Chapter 860
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julian furrowed his brows. âI donât understand what he meant.â
Diana hurriedly explained the kindergartenâs requirements in detail. Julian was rather taken aback. âSo many requirements just to attend a kindergarten?â
Diana knew he doubted her. He probably thought she was saying it on purpose, so she could force him into pretending to be a happy family with her.
âSo many requirements, yet so many parents are dying to get their children in,â she said sarcastically, displeased.
Julian was a smart man.
He could tell that Diana was making a dig at him.
Well, he didnât mind it.
Today was his first day meeting the twins as their father, and Sean even agreed to follow him home.
If he couldnât fulfill such a trivial request, Sean would surely be disappointed.
If Sean disapproved of him, Betty wouldnât kiss him.
He looked at Sean, then sighed. âDo you really like this kindergarten?â
Sean nodded. âI do.â
âIn that case, Iâll cooperate.â
Julian was willing to do anything to make Sean happy.
It was his way of making it up to them for missing out on their lives in the past three years.
Diana didnât expect Julian to agree so readily. She reminded him, âIf you want to cooperate with us and attend the kindergarten interview with me, you still need to see me in the future.â
Julian asked, âIf I donât attend this interview, does that mean weâll never see each other again?â
Before, he didnât want to have anything to do with Diana. Back then, he thought they had no children together.
But with their twins around, even if he didnât want anything to do with Diana, he couldnât possibly stop them from asking fortheir mother.
Diana was relieved to hear it. She laughed, pleased.
Things were going much better than she expected.
Julian didnât refuse to acknowledge the twins, unlike what she had feared.
She was also worried that he would forbid her from keeping in contact with them, but he didnât.
Given all these, he was qualified to be a father.
Julian was annoyed to see Diana happy. He couldnât manipulate the twins, but he could make his own decisions.â
What are you laughing at? Just because Iâm fine with meeting you once in a while, donât think of getting back with me.â
The children were one issue.
He himself was another issue altogether.
As long as Diana didnât give him a clear explanation about her memory loss and show him her sincerity, he would never be happy being around her.
Dianaâs mood plunged immediately. âYou think too much. I already told you, Iâm not interested in you.â
Not wanting the twins to hear her, she whispered sourly, â You already have Ms. Jarvis. Iâm not so shameless as to go back to my ex-husband.â
Ex-husband.
Julian repeated her words in his heart, and glanced indifferently at her. âEven if you want to, you canât.â
Diana fell silent.
How was he able to come up with a quip to everything she said?
Sean sensed the air turning tense once more, and piped up,â Goodbye, Mommy.â
Sorrow filled Dianaâs heart again. She waved her hand and said, âGoodbye, Sean.â
She followed Julian to see them off.
Julian turned around. âWerenât you proud of not running back to your ex-husband? Why are you following me? Are you trying to come home with me? I told you before, thereâs no place for you there. I wonât let you stay.â
âIâm just sending you to the door,â Diana retorted.
If it werenât for the twins, she wouldnât be bothered to speak to him.
Julian finally looked relieved, and glanced coldly at Diana. â That would be for the best.â
Diana took a deep breath, forcing herself not to get angry. Only after Sean and Betty left did she look for Nina to vent her frustrations.
âHe thinks heâs so high and mighty!â she snarled.
âHeâs always looking down on everyone from the corner of his eyes. Does he know what respect is?
How could I marry someone like him? It makes no sense!â
