Chapter 1087

Betty missed Mommy when she was with Daddy. Now that she had seen Mommy, she missed Daddy.

She wanted to be with both of them forever.

She didn’t like that they, as a family, had to live apart from each other. It wasn’t as if their house wasn’t big enough for all of them to stay together. If Mommy wanted to be with Godmother, couldn’t they all stay under one roof?

Why must Daddy and Mommy live separately from each other?

“Where is he?” Diana asked Betty, agitated. “Will he come find us later?”

Betty felt put in a spot. Daddy didn’t even want to bring her to the apartment.

“Hush.” Betty shook her head, and exposed Julian without any hesitation. “Daddy didn’t let me tell you that he was the one who drove me here, so I guess he won’t come in.”

But…

“Don’t worry.” Betty broke into a sweet smile. “I’ve already asked Godmother to help ask Daddy to stay.”

That was exactly what she whispered into Nina’s ears.

No wonder Nina and Vans weren’t around anymore.

Diana looked outward. Julian doted on his daughter so much. He would surely agree to come over and see her. Even Nina and Vans were there to persuade him.

Diana started to feel nervous. She even looked at her own reflection in the mirror, to check if she was dressed well.

To a certain extent, this would be the first time they met each other over the past three years.

Diana was very excited about the prospect.

She couldn’t wait to meet the man she loved so deeply that she was unable to let go of, be it in the past or now-as herself, with her complete memories.

He had experienced pain and death.

She left her home in exchange for his life. And now, she was back.

They were finally able to stand before each other.

They even had two darlings between them.

Nothing was more perfect than this.

Very soon, Nina returned.

“Where’s Julian?” Diana could help but blurt out, out of concern for the man she cared for the most.

Betty and Sean were also looking expectantly at Nina.

Earlier when Betty leaned against Nina’s neck and whispered to her, she had promised Betty that she would make Julian stay, and then come to see Sean and Diana.

Recalling his attitude, however, she was put in a spot.

“He…” Nina began.

Seeing Nina hesitating, a bad feeling rose in Diana’s heart.” He doesn’t want to see me, does he?”

He still had feelings for Cecilia.

He couldn’t bear to call off the engagement or even to see her, because he didn’t want to disappoint the heiress of the Jarvis family.

After Diana said that, she fell into a daze.

That was when Nina realized how little she knew of Diana’s thoughts compared to Sean, despite living with Diana.

Nina thought that Diana meant it when she said she didn’t want to see Julian anymore. In reality, Diana still had expectations that he would come find her.

Otherwise, Diana wouldn’t be so disappointed and emotional right now.

Nina tried to find the right words to comfort her. “Diana, hear me out.”

“No,” Diana said.

She didn’t know what she could say to express what she was feeling right now. She felt as though her surroundings were covered by a black cloth; it pressured and suffocated her, and stripped her of all energy to do anything at all.

She was despondent.

Should she really continue living like this?

Missing him, yet not going to meet him.

Waiting for him, yet he would never come.

He refused to appear, no matter how spitefully she behaved.

Was what she said out of spite, about her taking Sean and him taking Betty, going to come true?

No way. He hadn’t given her a proper explanation yet!

If he kept hiding from her and she couldn’t let go of things, then she would go find him!

Just then, Sean, who had been silent all this while, spoke up.
