Thinking of him, Betty’s heart sank. But very soon, her disappointment was replaced by the excitement of new
adventures awaiting her.

a little peck. “With me around, we’ll have lots of fun, Mommy!”
Diana smiled and caressed Betty’s head, leaning forward to kiss her daughter. Then she said to Layla, “Don’t worry,
just head back home. I’ll be with Betty. There’ll be no problems.”
Despite Diana’s assurance, Layla couldn’t bring herself to not worry.
She felt troubled throughout the whole journey. “Mrs. Fulcher.”
Layla’s brows furrowed, her fingers intertwining with each other and her face all wrinkled. “Why don’t I…give Mr.
Fulcher a call first? We should at least inform him about something as major as you taking Ms. Betty out for a
holiday.”
“No need,” Diana said with a wave of her hands. She placed her hands firmly on Layla’s shoulders, and turned her
in the direction of the exit of the airport. “Layla, go back in peace. I’ll tell Julian about this. He won’t blame you,
even if he finds out.”
Julian knew Jim, anyway.
There was no reason for him to worry about her going for a holiday.

Diana felt assured knowing that Julian was with Oliver. Perhaps the two of them could do something for Fanny.
“I’m not worried about Mr. Fulcher blaming me,” Layla said, beginning to panic so much that her voice broke.
“You’re pregnant, and with twins to boot. The flight takes a few hours, and you need to take care of Ms. Betty as
well. How can I feel assured? Why don’t you let me come along with you? How about that?”
Diana rejected Layla at once. “No need.”
She was going to impose on Jim, and he was bound to host her and extend hospitality to her. If she brought another
person he didn’t invite, it might seem rude.

“I’ll be fine by myself,” she said. “We’re taking business class, and the flight attendants can help me. Betty doesn’t
even really need me now. Layla, please don’t worry.”
Diana lifted her fingers, and swore to Layla, “I’ll take care of myself and Betty, and make sure that nothing happens
to us.”
With that, she gave the chauffeur a look. “Take Layla back.”
It was about time for them to board the flight.

her heart deeply.

Richburgh for a while would prevent her from thinking about these things and give her a breather.

times as she walked out of the airport.

Soon, the plane shot into the clouds.
Diana placed her hands on her belly, worried that the flight might negatively affect the fetuses.
