Chapter 1297
Betty even had her own messaging apps. She knew how to use the phone, the camera, and take selfies.
Now, she could sense the concern and love that Julian was showing Diana.
"Awesome," Betty said. She couldn’t help but be in awe.
Diana turned to look at her daughter, puzzled. "What's awesome?”
"Daddy’s so good to Mommy," Betty said, admiration and hope in her eyes. "My future husband must treat me this
well, too!"
Husband?! Thinking of her future husband at such a young age?
Julian's face darkened with displeasure.
His kind and loving expression vanished without a trace as he asked Betty sternly, "Betty, do you know what you're
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsaying? Do you know what a husband is?"
Betty wasn't afraid of Julian at all. She knew he looked tough and scary on the outside, but was a softie inside.
Many people bowed down to him and feared him. Many pursued him relentlessly, fighting for the chance to serve
the great Mr. Fulcher.
But at home, he was her daddy, he was Mommy's husband, a man who was at their beck and call.
The key was, he tolerated all of their tantrums and temper.
He would even think about what he had done wrong to make his wife and daughter so mad.
Betty pouted as she wrapped her arms around her legs.
Smiling cheekily, she said, "I know what a husband is. He's a man I'll get married to. I'll wear a wedding dress, and
you and Mommy will bring me to a beautiful stage.
"Flowers will fall from the sky and surround us.
"Then..."
Betty paused for a moment.
She was so excited, she almost choked on her saliva. She had to cough a few times before going on, 'Then, Daddy
will hand me over to my husband..."
Her voice was childish and cheeky.
All that talk about flowers and the stage betrayed her innocence as a child. One could also sense that compared to
this so-called 'husband', she clearly fancied pretty and shiny things.
Yet, Julian didn’t feel good about it at all. The thought of handing Betty over to another man upset him.
"No way,” Julian said, feeling his nose aching. He added seriously, "I won’t hand you over to another man."
Trying to brainwash her, he said, "Betty, actually, you don’t need to get married. It’s great being single."
What was that about?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHow could a father stop his daughter from finding a partner just because he couldn't bear to see her leave?
Diana smacked Julian to stop him from brainwashing Betty. " Don’t stop her from growing up.”
She added fiercely, "It's her choice whether she wants to get married or not. You can't lie to her and brainwash her
with those ideas."
Julian didn't concede defeat, and countered with a question, 'Then, wasn't she also brainwashed by the idea of
having a husband since young?"
Diana fell silent.
That made sense.
All Betty heard about and witnessed day-in, day-out was a family structure made up of a husband and a wife. She
had long gotten used to that as she grew up.
That was a form of cheating and brainwashing, too.
Diana came to a compromise. "Fine. You can occasionally raise that suggestion to Betty. But once she goes to
school and gets a boyfriend, you can't break them apart just because you can't bear to see her marry!"
