Chapter 916
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
âEnough!â
Diana closed up the hundred-meter distance between them in a few steps. She grabbed Kikiâs arm, then shoved it away. She caressed Seanâs ear and asked tenderly, âAre you okay? Does it hurt? I came to you late.â
If she hadnât moved so slowly at the door, Kiki wouldnât have had the chance to bully Sean.
Kiki stumbled backward from Dianaâs force.
Jealousy and viciousness flashed past her eyes. She leaned against the wall, then stood up. She charged toward Diana and snarled accusingly, âSince you donât bother disciplining your child, why donât I help you with that?â
Dianaâs eyes turned cold as she grabbed Kikiâs arm once again.
âWhat right do you have to help me discipline my child?â she snapped. âYou canât even discipline your own daughter well! What right do you have to help me with that?â
Kiki knew Diana was talking about Doreen scratching Bettyâs face. At Dianaâs mention of the incident, she instinctively shrunk back.
But the thought of Julianâs positive attitude toward her made her confident once more. She crossed her arms and looked down at Diana.
âQuit drawing attention away from the main point. Weâre talking about Sean hurting Doreen. My daughterâs head injury is so severe. Everyone is a witness The moment Kiki said that the principal came walking out of the classroom. Julian was right behind her.
Diana was delighted, not expecting him to reach even earlier than she did. She pulled Sean toward Julianâs direction and comforted him, âDonât fear. Your daddy is here.â
He would surely stand up for Sean.
Sean sighed in relief as well. He walked toward Julian, with Diana next to him.
However, Julian ignored them and walked to Kiki instead.â How is Doreen now?â
Kiki wasnât in a rush to answer him, and instead in the sickbay right now.â
âThatâs good.â Julian sighed in relief before turning to look at Sean. âCome here.â
Sean looked at Diana. Diana smiled at him, and said, âGo on.
With Julian around, he wouldnât let Sean get bullied.
Very soon, Sean stood right before Julian and looked at him with a gaze full of trust.
âDaddy,â he greeted, in a crisp and clear voice.
Julian nodded. âApologize to Kiki and Doreen.â
Sean was stunned.
He could apologize to Doreen, because he didnât expect things to go so out of hand and for her to get so badly injured.
However, there was no reason for him to apologize to Kiki. That woman was arrogant and unreasonable. She pinched his ear so hard, and spoke so nastily the moment she saw him.
Whatâs moreâ¦
She even accepted the flowers Julian gave her.
Sean looked down, not replying to Julian.
Julian started feeling anxious, and urged Sean, âSean, did you hear what I said?â
âI did,â Sean said.
But he didnât want to apologize.
Julian waited for a while longer, but Sean didnât make any move. Julian furrowed his brows, and snapped fiercely, â Sean Winnington! Apologize to them!â
Sean had never felt such indignation before. He was on the verge of tears.
Diana sensed that things werenât right, and hurriedly pulled Sean behind her. She looked at Julian, confused.
âWe havenât gotten to the bottom of the matter,â she said. âI think we should give Sean some time before coming to a decision on who should be the one apologizing.â
âPrincipal,â Julian said. Instead of replying to Diana, he requested for the principal to leave them alone.
The principal cared about familial relationships very much. Julian didnât want to make all their efforts during the interview go to waste.
