Chapter 989
To maintain a peaceful rtionship between the two, it might be best to avoid mentioning Simon’s
existence altogether.
At the very least, Diana should try to downy Simon’s significance in front of Julian. The fact that he
was personally speaking to her now, instead of having Betty ry messages, was already a sign of
submission.
She understood this man’s oddities, even though they were often unexinable. Although his quirks
were often a bit puzzling, she could still read him well.
”Sure.” As expected, Julian was being difficult. He refused to give in easily. “Tell me, then. Why are you
here?”
Diana was speechless.
Well, it was true she was the one who initiated this meeting.
She was a bit stifled inside, but she followed his lead and continued, “What’s the deal with these love
letters?”
“What could be the deal? Sean’s just popr.” He raised an eyebrow and asked her, “Aren’t you
happy? Or do you think Sean is too young for this?”
It wasn’t that.
Diana could understand the feelings of children. Their likes and loves were no different from their
fondness for the sun, coffee, or the little flowers and grass by the roadside.
Most parents these days were quite open-minded, especially since Sean was attending an international
bilingual kindergarten where the children’s mindset was even more progressive.
She had even opened and read through the love letters. Some were clearlyposed with the help of
parents. Children’s emotions were pure.

It was the same as how Sean told her he would only marry Faye when he grew up. Since they had
come to Richburgh, she hadn’t heard him mention Faye’s name again.
Children had fleeting interests. Perhaps when they grew up, they wouldn’t even remember their
kindergarten ssmates.
She found it hard to put into words, but she still confided in Julian. “I’m worried. Sean has received so
many love letters, but why did he tell only you and not me…?”
Had she failed as a mother?
Before, Sean used to tell her everything. Yet now, there were things he would tell Julian and not her.
“Of course,” Julian said.
It was truly pleasant to have a decent conversation with Diana without Simon’s interference.
Julian looked dissatisfied as he asked Diana, “Do you know what Betty asked me?”
“What?”
Julian recounted Betty’s words-whether Diana was nning to rece their father-and Diana’s face
reddened slightly. She couldn’t help but feel her heart break.
She looked at Betty, and asked, “Sweetie, did you really think that?”
Betty nodded.
Diana felt increasingly perplexed.
It wasn’t Betty’s words, or Julian’s attitude.
It was her own actions.
She had always thought that not relying on Julian and believing that she could handle everything on
her own was the right approach. In reality, considering her daughter’s words and the love letters her
son had received, it seemed…
Her independence had failed quite miserably.
She suddenly felt at a loss, unsure of the right thing to do.
And Julian…
She nced at him. If even Betty could ask whether Diana would rece their father, it showed how
much she had been neglecting himtely.
Thinking about it, it seemed his recent difficult attitude and the many tantrums he had thrown were all
justified.
A bitter feeling surged in Diana’s heart, and her tears began to well up.
Julian was somewhat puzzled.
Actually…
By intentionally making here to him on her own, he was already following Sean’s advice and was
trying to appease her.
If he didn’t do anything, they would probably still be in a cold war for a few more days because of her
anger.
He wanted her to realize her mistake.
In truth, he hadn’t done much at all. He simply used Betty’s doll and Sean’s love letters to lead her
upstairs, and prompt her to initiate a conversation with him.
Now, she was tearing up.
The usually cunning and domineering Julian Fulcher was suddenly helpless.
