Chapter 966
"Gone mad?"
Julian looked at Sue in shock. He felt as if someone had hit him over the head with a brick.
"How could Cecilia have gone mad?!"
Did it have something to do with him splashing paint at her?
Sue heard his question, but didn't reply to him. Her eyes turned cold as she looked at Julian. "Mr. Fulcher, you are a
father with a daughter. I suppose you can empathize with how I feel right now."
In fact, it took extreme self-control for her to still be able to talk properly with Julian. If it were other people, they
would've charged forward and beat him up to a bloody pulp.
Of course Cecilia becoming like this had something to do with him splashing paint at her!
Though, Cecilia's personal factors played a part as well. For example, her lack of resilience, close-mindedness, and
obsessiveness.
Despite that, all these factors couldn't compare to the fact that Julian first got himself involved with Cecilia!
Julian had expressed his liking toward her, then suddenly splashed paint at her. That clearly played a greater role in
causing Cecilia to turn out this way.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn other words, Julian had to bear 90% of the responsibility of Cecilia turning out this way.
Sue pointed at the dolls, and asked Julian, "Did you see all the dolls in here?"
Julian nodded.
"No parents are willing to have their daughter be a stepmother. Even if it's Julian Fulcher’s children, we wouldn't
accept it!
"But Cecilia...
"She said that you two liked each other, and she found your children adorable. That made her think that being a
stepmother wasn't too difficult a task."
Cecilia was but a young lady.
A young lady who had never suffered any setbacks. To her, everything in this world was black and white-you either
love it, or you don't.
She liked Julian; therefore, being a stepmother to his children was an easy thing for her.
Sue took a deep breath before going on, "These dolls...
Some of them are her favorites, and some she has owned for a long time. The ones still in their packaging were all
meant to be gifts for your daughter..."
She choked on her tears, almost unable to speak further. " Mr. Fulcher, if you still have a conscience, I hope you can
take good care of Cecilia. Bear the responsibility that you should shoulder!"
At this point, Julian was unable to speak. He was overcome with shock and regret. He was deeply remorseful as
well.
Sue wasn't wrong.
He had a daughter himself.
Betty was his precious darling.
If Betty encountered a man like him when she grew up, and ended up in a state similar to that of Cecilia, he might
not be able to hold himself back from burying that man alive.
Yet right now, the Jarvises didn't berate him. They were even trying their best to remain courteous to him. Their
cultured upbringing and impeccable manners were clear to him.
And Cecilia...
She was the most innocent of them all.
She shouldn't be sacrificed in his and Diana's relationship, turning from a naive and innocent heiress into a
madwoman in the process.
The thought of Cecilia becoming like this made Julian's head throb with pain. He looked at Sue.
"Mrs. Jarvis. Regarding what you said, I'd like to go back and think through it for a day. May I?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore, he promised Diana he wouldn't be autocratic and dictatorial. He had to discuss things with her before
making any decision. He had to talk with her about taking care of
Cecilia.
Sue nodded. "If something isn't meant to be, there's no point trying to force it. Please go ahead, Mr. Fulcher.
However, I need an answer from you by tomorrow."
Even after leaving the Jarvis residence and arriving back at CoIlina Villa, Julian's mood didn't improve a single bit.
His entire soul, even his body, looked heavy and depressed.
On Diana's end, she was in a similar state. She had gone numb since Simon's accident.
Kiki's hitman didn't hurt her.
Yet, in turn, she had hurt Simon...
She shoved him into oncoming traffic with her own hands.
At that time, he could easily dodge her.
But because it was her, he was utterly defenseless and ended up getting pushed into the traffic.
Diana didn't mean to do what she did.
And yet, now...
