Chapter 920
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
What a great shock!
It took all of Kikiâs self-control to stop herself from jumping for joy.
She had to be a good mommy right now, not just to Doreen, but also to Sean. That was the only way to make Julian persist with that idea and stand on her side.
He was Seanâs father, after all. What if he saw her mistreating his children and changed his mind?
With that thought in mind, she immediately walked forward and held Julianâs arm.
âActually, itâs alright,â she said with a smile. âDoreenâs fine now, isnât she? Quick, tell Sean I donât count it against him as long as he doesnât scare his classmates with frogs and bugs next time. Weâre family, after all. But if he hurt other children, things wonât be so easy to deal with.â
She was trying to hint to Julian that she was generous in forgiving Sean.
âNo way,â Julian insisted, âI must make Sean apologize to both of you. Thatâs the only way he can get along with you two and stop creating trouble for Doreen.â
Julian never expected himself to be so good at telling tall tales.
He looked lovingly at Kiki and said, âOtherwise, after you marry me, heâll just keep bullying Doreen.â
At his words, Kiki almost flew to the heavens with happiness.
âThereâs no need for that.â She waved her hands before holding onto Julianâs arm again. âYou donât know kids as well as I do. The more you force him, the more heâll dislike us. Itâll make it even tougher for us to get along.â
Julian would only accept her as their new mommy if she was tolerant of them.
Praise and admiration for Kiki filled Julianâs eyes. âYou delivered medicine so diligently to me over the past three years, yet I kept rejecting you. Kiki, I almost missed out on a treasure.â
âNo, no,â Kiki said. âLove will always find a way. We still ended up together after all that happened, didnât we?â
Julian was stunned at her words. His face froze stiff for a second.
He didnât like what she said.
Now, he had the urge to haul Kiki up and throw her out of the backyard. However, he had to hold himself back and plaster a smile on his face.
âWhat about the conflict between the two kids?â
âLetâs just leave it,â Kiki said. âIâll talk to Doreen when we get home, and warn her not to show off to her friends just because sheâs getting closer to you. Itâs inevitable for Sean to get upset by that. We need to give him some time.â
She had to make sure she looked just like a generous and tolerant stepmother.
That was the only way for Julian to like her even more.
As she expected, Julian was very pleased with how she handled the situation. The love and tenderness in his eyes deepened.
âKiki, thatâs so nice of you.â
âJulian, you too.â
Diana almost puked when she heard their conversation.
Why did she never realize how disgusting Julian could get?
Did he just say that he almost missed out on a treasure?
Well, she thanked him!
She thanked him for successfully missing out on a piece of sh*t like him!
Sean looked weary, clearly in no mood to talk to his mommy. Diana wasnât worried that he wouldnât be able to handle his friendships with his classmates. Neither was she worried that this incident with Doreen would affect him in any way.
What she was worried about was Julian upsetting Sean.
Thankfully, after Julian entered the sickbay, he didnât force Sean to apologize to Kiki and Doreen.
Still, Sean took the initiative to approach Doreen. âIâm sorry.â
He had gone overboard with his prank this time.
âItâs alright,â Doreen said. To begin with, she liked Sean very much. The look on Seanâs face made her feel shy, and she quickly looked back at Kiki.
âSean will be your brother from now on,â Kiki said. âDoreen, see how obedient Sean is? I told him that he didnât need to apologize to you, but he took the initiative to do so. Forgive Sean, all right?â
Sean wasnât pleased with Kikiâs words. His face turned cold again. âI only have one sister.â
He didnât want anyone else aside from Betty.
