Chapter 953

Julian switched off the lights, leaving only a small nightlight on.

In the dim room, he gazed at the peacefully sleeping Betty for a while. Slowly, he lifted their precious daughter, who was sleeping between them. He then carefully shifted her to a new position.

Now, he was lying beside Diana.

Diana hadn’t expected him to do this, and her face instantly went red. Betty’s still here.”

“I know,” Julian innocently. “So what? Can’t I lie beside you?”

Couldn’t a husband and wife still sleep close to each other, even after they had a child?

“Betty might fall off the bed if she’s at the edge.”

“She won’t,” Julian said. ‘Til just stay with you for a while.”

He extended his arm and patted his left shoulder, signaling to Diana. “Come here.”

His voice was like a magnet, carrying an inexplicable allure. His deep eyes stared at her unblinkingly.

Diana hesitated for a moment.

She thought about it.

It didn’t seem…embarrassing to lie in his arms.

Although they hadn’t stated it explicitly, her willingness to move back here with Sean implied they had reconciled and intended to stay together.

Diana gently adjusted her position and lay in Julian’s embrace, her ear near his heart. She could hear his heartbeat.

Ba-dump. Ba-dump. Ba-dump.

So strong.

It reverberated in her ears like drums.

Meanwhile, Julian absorbed her presence quietly.

Everything felt so real. It wasn’t a dream.

His daughter and his wife were right by his side, resting peacefully.

The room became incredibly tranquil.

Diana thought he might say something. To her surprise, Julian didn’t utter a single word. She started to become drowsy. His hand continued to gently pat her gently, just like how one would soothe a child.

Sleepiness she had never experienced before overcame her. Julian’s embrace was that had drifted for a long time.

Finally, she had reached the shore.

She broke the silence first. “Julian… Why did we…get divorced?”

She was a bit afraid-afraid the reason for their divorce wouldn’t be acceptable to her. Afraid that they had insurmountable conflicts in the past.

However. Nina had said that they were deeply in love.

But if they were really in love, why did they get divorced?

Today, she finally mustered the courage to ask Julian this question.

However, there was no response.

Diana waited quietly for a while. Unable to hold back, she turned her head to look-only to find that Julian had fallen asleep. His face looked tranquil, and his features exuded openness and serenity.

She had to admit, his face was like the work of a divine artist.

Despite being asleep, his hand continued to pat her back.

Happiness and contentment slowly spread from the depths of her heart, going all the way up to her brain.

She smiled, and used her hand to press his gently. As expected, he stopped moving. He had fallen into a deep sleep.

It seemed her question about their divorce today had been asked in vain.

Diana couldn’t help but feel both exasperated and amused. She glanced at the soundly sleeping man, then at her soundly sleeping daughter.

She carefully got out of bed, placed her daughter back in the middle, and then laid down at the side of the bed where Betty had been previously.
