Chapter 988
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
On the small motorcycle was the doll Betty often carried. As for the toy motorcycle, it belonged to Sean.
It was a toy Simon once bought for Sean to play with in the past. Even though Sean often moved it around, he had never played with it.
Why did he suddenly decide to play with it today?
Diana, curious, approached the small motorcycle and picked it up.
Simonâs thoughts matched hers. âDid Sean bring it in?â
âSeems like it.â Diana opened the letters stacked behind the small motorcycle. After a quick glance, her expression changed.
Simon saw her troubled expression, and quickly asked,â Whatâs wrong?â
âNothing.â She forced a smile despite her uneasy face. She checked the massage machineâs timer, and said to Simon, âI need to do something for a bit. Wait here for me, okay?â
With his legs in their current state, there was little he could do other than wait.
âIs it about Sean?â
âYes. I need to discuss something with Julian.â
Saying that, she took the small motorcycle, the doll, and the love letters into her arm. She then quickly left the guest room.
Simon watched her hurried departure. For the first time, he felt unsure and wondered if crashing into a car intentionally and hurting his legs was the right thing to do.
He clenched his hands tightly.
Looking down at his legs, he felt it should have been the right decision.
How else could he get the opportunity to have Diana care for him like this? How could he have the chance to be with her every day?
After coming to Richburgh from Stirlingâ¦
This was the longest period of time they had spent together.
When they were eating the beef stew earlier today, he even had the illusion of returning to the past.
Back in Stirling City, he should have seized the opportunity and told Diana the truth.
However, his heart went soft, and he allowed her to give birth to her twins. It led to her renewed interaction with Julian.
If it werenât for his disabled legsâ¦
Perhaps Diana would still be holding a grudge against him.
Simonâs eyes were filled with a sinister emotion as extreme as his personality.
As for Julianâ¦
Simon grinned.
As long as Simon was around, he would never give Diana a chance to reconcile with Julian-no matter how many tricks Julian had up his sleeve!
Julian sneezed. Just then, he saw Diana hurriedly pushing the door open.
She placed the love letters on the table, and took Betty from Julianâs arms. âWhatâs going on?â
âWhat do you mean?â Julian pretended to be clueless. He glanced at her, then subtly gestured at Betty, who was now in her motherâs embrace.
It was like he was saying, âSee?â
This was the âsomeoneâ Daddy wanted to invite.
At this moment, the âsomeoneâ was already in the âtrapâ.
Julian calmly looked at Diana, waiting for her to become flustered. When it came to patience, Diana was always a bit worse than him.
âStop pretending to be confused!â Diana said, annoyed.
She knew Julian understood her clearly.
She pointed at the small motorcycle. âDidnât you send this to Simonâs room on purpose? It has Bettyâs doll, and the motorcycle belonged to Sean. There are also a bunch of love letters on it. It couldnât have been done by the twins.â
That meant Julian waited for her to come here on purpose. Yet, he wasnât willing to admit it.
âIt wasnât me,â he insisted. âWerenât you helping Simon massage his legs? I wouldnât dare disturb you.â
âCould you please speak properly?â
Diana was the one who set up the electric massager for Simon. Honestly, Simon was actually quite courteous.
There had never been any inappropriate behavior between them. The more innocent her interactions with Simon were, the angrier she was to hear Julianâs absurd words.
She didnât expect him to be rational where Simon was concerned. Even if he did, she knew he would still go into Simonâs room and make a mess out of things.
