Chapter 883
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
This very book contained all the doodles Sean made from the moment he could hold a pen.
Diana lamented, âThis is filled with precious memories. I hope itâll come in handy and let the principal see how talented you kids are.â
Julian glanced at the book. He found the childish, yet heartwarming pieces beyond interesting.
He leaned in to take a closer look, but Diana pretended not to see him and closed the book. Her sudden movement sent a gust of wind that blew on his shocked face.
This womanâ¦
Was very temperamental.
Julian decided not to look anymore. Either way, the principal would flip through the book when they entered the kindergarten. He would take that chance to look at it with her.
By the time they got out of the car, the principal was already waiting at the door.
Diana didnât expect such treatment, and hurriedly greeted her. However, the principal focused on talking to Julian instead.
She was full of praise for him.
Julian managed to convince the principal not with his riches or power, but with his own talent.
The principal used to be university mates with him, both having studied in a top-notch university overseas.
According to the principal, Julian was very popular in school. His academics were outstanding. He also managed to complete all his courses and graduated in a year, when it was supposed to take three.
Julian saw Diana in a daze after she heard their conversation. He hurriedly explained to Sean, âIâm not taking the back door. Iâm just too outstanding and charming in my own unique way.â
Sean nodded and said solemnly, âIâll work hard and be as awesome as you, Daddy.â
Diana was dumbfounded.
The interview went smoothly, and the principal was very pleased with the twins. She was equally pleased with Diana and Julian. Before she bade them goodbye, she even commented that they were such a happy family.
However, Betty didnât fulfill the conditions of entering the kindergarten and was rejected.
It was for her own good. Julianâs forced provocation had worsened her condition. Diana wouldnât feel at ease if she had to get used to an unfamiliar environment.
When they settled down in the car, Julian saw that she looked calm as usual. He asked, âAre you disappointed XSZ Betty canât attend kindergarten with Sean?â
Diana said mildly, âIâm not.â
She treated Julian purely as the childrenâs father, and had suppressed the thoughts that inevitably sprung up since he slept on the floor last night.
âThe principal admires you so much, sheâs willing to give us this interview. Although it went smoothly, she didnât intend to lower the bar for us. Thatâs sufficient proof that this kindergarten is excellent.â
Justâ¦
During the interview, the principal suddenly asked Julian about Dianaâs top three favorite foods.
She thought he wouldnât be able to answer the principal, but it was easy as pie for Julian. He rattled out the answer with ease, shocking her to the core.
The principal noticed the shock on Dianaâs face, and said, â Seems like Mr. Fulcher really loves you, perhaps to an extent you donât even realize.â
The exaggerated look on the principalâs face earlier almost made Diana believe that her words were true.
Thankfully, she remembered Julianâs words from this morning, about how this was all just an act. It made her feel relieved once again.
She smiled at the principal, and said she didnât realize it at all.
She was always so calm and composed.
Julian listened to her calm and almost emotionless analysis, and the smile on his face faded. âLooks like your brains are still intact despite losing your memories, Ms.
Winnington.â
Diana could hear the sarcasm in his voice.
She ignored it, and reminded him, âRemember to discuss with me beforehand regarding any decisions concerning the twins.â
What happened with Zachary hurting Betty could never repeat. Julian knew the severity of the situation, and nodded. Then, he told the driver to drop Diana off at her studio.
They had reached an agreement. To make it easy for Diana to focus on her work, the twins would be with Julian in the day. At night, Diana would return to the villa and take care of them.
âWhatâs the matter?â Nina asked.
She had skipped work and came to Dianaâs studio to celebrate Seanâs successful kindergarten registration. She noticed that Diana looked distracted, even after the latter was done with her work, and teased, âThinking about Julian?â
