Chapter 1081

“I’m sorry,” Cecilia said quickly. She was blaming Julian while not excusing herself at the same time. “I should’ve objected vehemently to this engagement right from the start.”Despite her words, she didn’t do anything about it at all.Both she and Julian were wrong in their own right. Thus, it was pointless to shift the blame.“Bring Noel to me,” Cecilia demanded. He was the person she wanted to see the most.Cecilia refused to wait aimlessly. Bent on getting her way, she decided to go back on her promise she made at the countryside right there and then. “I’ll tell my mom to call off the engagement only after Noel accepts my confession and gets together with me,” she said. “But before, you told me that as long as I stay at Albert’s that night and wait for Noel with you, you’d tell your mother about calling off the engagement,” Julian argued.Cecilia shrugged. “I did say that.”However! “I’m going back on my word.”After thinking things through, Cecilia decided waiting wi

Chapter 1082

Julian felt as if a bird had flown past him, blowing a slight breeze on his face.He looked up. The coldness in his eyes melted into tenderness. “Betty.”Julian finally closed his laptop, and reached his hands out to his daughter. “Come here for a hug with Daddy.”“No!” Betty wasn’t about to be placated by Julian into accepting everything with just a few words of comfort. “You promised you’d take me to see Mommy and Sean.”Betty’s voice was laced with indignation. She put out her fingers, and said to Julian, “It’s been three days. Oh, wait.”She put down three fingers, and counted again before putting out four fingers. “It’s been four days, and you haven’t told me when you’re going to take me to them!”Betty called them so many times in a day, since video calling Mommy was the only thing she could do. Sean wasn’t willing to be in the video call. Each time she called out to him through the video, she could only hear his response. She couldn’t see his face at all.Betty miss

Betty thought about it, then asked, “if Daddy didn’t send me, who would?”She wanted Daddy to send her there. She wanted to stay with Daddy.Julian had been busy working in his study recently, and it was usually the nanny who took care of Betty at home.What Julian said inevitably made Betty indignant.Upon seeing his daughter’s crystal clear eyes, Julian suddenly felt embarrassed to speak. “I didn’t mean that.”“Who is it, then?” Betty urged. She wanted to see Mommy and Sean soon.“Well… Daddy’s still the one who will send you. You just can’t tell Mommy that it’s Daddy who sent you.” Julian looked at her chubby cheeks. “Do you understand?”Betty nodded. “I do!”Her voice was bright and crisp. As she went on, however, her following words were a slap to Julian’s face. “Daddy wants me to lie. Adults always tell us not to lie, but Daddy…” Betty paused for a moment, trying to find the right words to say. “Daddy’s forcing me to lie.”Julian said exasperatedly, “I’m not forcing yo

“But…” Betty looked unhappily at Julian. “I’m scared.”The car parked at quite a far distance from the apartment.Betty intertwined her fingers, feeling extremely upset. “What if someone finds me so adorable and decide to kidnap me…?”Julian saw how serious she looked. Suddenly, he was at a loss for words. He paused for a moment before finally saying, “You won’t get kidnapped.”It was more likely for Betty to fool a random sob into buying candies for her.He wasn’t sending Betty directly to the door to avoid bumping into Diana. It wasn’t as if he was going to just ignore her. He would keep an eye on her as she walked in.To top it all off, he had contacted Vans earlier. He told the latter to go downstairs and wait for Betty to arrive at the door.“Why not?” Betty asked.She cupped her cheeks in her palms, and looked prettily at Julian. Her eyes twinkled like the stars in the sky, making her look utterly adorable. She rubbed her face back and forth on his body. “I don’t care,”

Julian held back his laughter. He put back the disinfecting lotion into the first aid kit. “That’s great! Betty’s so strong and brave! Daddy doesn’t need to give Betty an injection anymore.”“Yes!” Betty nodded repeatedly, feeling that she had escaped death. She even waved her hands at Julian, worried that staying in the car a minute longer would make him think of giving her an injection again. “I’ll go find Mommy myself, then.”She had long grown familiar with Nina’s place. Even if no one picked her up, she could make her way around this estate by herself.Ever since she acknowledged Julian as her father, she had attended many self-defense classes—something members of wealthy families often insisted upon.Julian wasn’t worried that anything could happen to Betty right under his nose.He waved his hands. “Go ahead, but don’t forget what you promised Daddy…”He deliberately stopped mid-sentence, waiting for Betty to complete his sentence and tell him that she promised not to tel

She gradually stopped expecting him to apologize to her, and come clean with her that he was Mr. Whatever.Forget it.All was good as long as he was still alive.“Diana,” Nina said as she poked her. “A penny for your thoughts? The elevator’s here. Let’s head down.”They agreed to buy some fresh flowers to visit Grandma, Aster and Star’s tombstones. Diana wanted to let Sean see Grandma, too. Grandma was probably looking forward to finally seeing her great-grandchildren.A pity Betty wasn’t with her.Speak of the devil.Diana was lost in her thoughts when she suddenly heard Nina yell out, “Betty! Betty!”Diana was dazed. “Betty?”Betty stood right before Diana, clad in a sky blue princess dress and with tears welling up in her eyes.Diana was about to crouch and shower Betty with kisses, when Betty suddenly pounced on Nina.“Godmother!” She clung onto Nina tightly. “I’ve missed you so much! So, so, so much! Do you miss me?”Diana looked on exasperatedly.Whatever Betty was d

Chapter 1087

Betty missed Mommy when she was with Daddy. Now that she had seen Mommy, she missed Daddy.She wanted to be with both of them forever.She didn’t like that they, as a family, had to live apart from each other. It wasn’t as if their house wasn’t big enough for all of them to stay together. If Mommy wanted to be with Godmother, couldn’t they all stay under one roof? Why must Daddy and Mommy live separately from each other? “Where is he?” Diana asked Betty, agitated. “Will he come find us later?”Betty felt put in a spot. Daddy didn’t even want to bring her to the apartment.“Hush.” Betty shook her head, and exposed Julian without any hesitation. “Daddy didn’t let me tell you that he was the one who drove me here, so I guess he won’t come in.”But… “Don't worry.” Betty broke into a sweet smile. “I’ve already asked Godmother to help ask Daddy to stay.”That was exactly what she whispered into Nina’s ears.No wonder Nina and Vans weren’t around anymore.Diana looked outward.

Sean looked up and asked, “Daddy didn’t say he wanted to see Mommy or me, right?”His voice was laced with disappointment.Diana’s heart tightened. She subconsciously retracted her steps. “Sean…”“It’s alright,” Sean said, with a smile that everyone could see didn’t come from the bottom of his heart. At that moment, he was akin to a fragile glass doll that could break anytime. “I don’t want to see him, either.”Anyone could tell that he didn’t mean what he said.Tears fell down Diana’s cheeks. She looked at her son standing right before her.Sean was a child who wouldn’t cry, even when he took a fall.When the twins were younger, Diana would often run out of energy taking care of both of them at the same time.Once, she opened the windows of a room for ventilation. She needed to breastfeed them and drew the curtains to protect her privacy, but she forgot that the window behind it wasn’t closed properly.After she was done breastfeeding, she carried Sean over her shoulders to b

Chapter 1089

Even Julian, smart as he was, took Sean’s silence for granted. He immediately chose to take Betty away the moment he opened the car door.He and Diana thought the children would be split between them when they separated. Since Sean used to say he would choose Diana no matter what, Julian chose Betty.In the process, Julian forgot to ask Sean if he wanted to choose Daddy and Mommy at the same time.The thought stabbed Diana’s heart; she felt even guiltier toward Sean.She didn’t intend for things to turn out like this. She even told herself she had to pay more attention to Sean, and yet…In reality, she had failed his expectations and dismissed his feelings because of how sensible he was.Diana crouched low and asked, “Sean, do you really not want to see Daddy?”Worried Sean wouldn’t tell her the truth, she answered on his behalf. “You actually really miss Daddy, don’t you?”Back then, Sean was the one who made acknowledging Julian as his father a reality. How could he not care

Chapter 1090

The four of them left the neighborhood, laughing and chatting away.Nina couldn’t fulfil Betty’s request of persuading Julian into coming in to see them. Still, she made Vans stay outside to keep watch. That way, she would have an explanation for Betty should the girl demand for one.Thankfully, Vans was still around. That meant that Julian was still around too, even though he didn’t walk in. His car was still around as well.Nina sighed in relief as she brought them all to his car.Yet the closer they approached the car, the more obvious Vans’s displeasure was.“What’s the matter?” Nina asked. A bad feeling rose in her chest. She carried Betty, and walked ahead of Diana. Upon looking into the car, she realized that no one was inside.Panicked, she demanded, “Where is he?”Vans looked helplessly at her.After Nina attended that banquet three years ago, she hadn’t reconciled with Vans. Thus, he aimed to please her as much as he could. If he could help it, he would never let
