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?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWorried 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 about
the father he fought so hard to have?
He was simply suppressing his feelings because of the conflict between adults.
The moment Diana asked him that question, Sean couldn’t hold himself back anymore. He nodded, facing up to his
own feelings for the first time.
"Yes," he said.
'Then I'll take you to find him," Diana said. She carried Sean up, and held Betty's hand in hers. She kept repeating to
herself, "We’ll go find Daddy together.”
Sean wanted to stay put. He didn't want Diana to compromise for his sake. Yet, he really did want to see Julian.
After all, Julian wasn't just Betty's father. He was Sean’s father, too.
He was father to both of them.
This time, Sean didn't object. He decided to listen to Mommy.
Nina stood next to them, holding Betty’s other hand.
Diana said to Sean, "When you see Daddy later, you can tell him that you really miss him. You can also stay with
Daddy for two days if you'd like.
"If you miss someone, be like Betty and say it out loud. Don't say what you don’t mean. It'll just tire you out.
Mommy doesn't want you to make your life so difficult.
'You’re just a child. You don't need to be so strong and sensible."
Diana had said this many times to Sean. Still, it was difficult for one's character to change so easily. Whether Sean
could change or not, Diana had to do her best to remind him of this as much as she could.
Betty had a question. "What about after we grow up? When Sean and I grow up to be even taller than Mommy, is it
okay if we're not strong and cry whenever we want?"
Diana nodded, and smiled tenderly at them. "As long as Mommy is around, you two can stay as children forever."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'Then I don't want Mommy to die," Betty said.
She stretched her arms out, wanting Diana to carry her too. She acted as if Diana was going to die if she didn’t hold
Diana tight and cherish this moment right now.
Betty’s actions lightened up the mood immediately. Diana and Nina exchanged glances, and gave each other a
warm smile.
Diana didn’t carry Betty. Nina did it in her stead. "Cheeky girl! You're not getting a hug from Mommy."
If Diana carried Betty too, Sean might just leave Diana's arms by himself and walk. He would assume they were too
tall and heavy for Mommy to carry at once.
"Let Godmother carry you," Nina said.
"Will Mommy die?" Betty asked.
Sean was on the verge of tears over his sister's foolish words.
"Silly." He sounded a little like Julian, his voice clear and crisp. "Mommy won't die. She’ll be with us until we turn old
and gray."
Oh, silly boy! Which person in this world wouldn’t die?
"You precious children," Diana said fondly. She looked at Sean and rubbed her chin against his soft hair, tightening
her arms around him.
