Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1358

At the airport, Betty looked excited. She hadn’t been far from home in a long time.

“Mommy, is it really just going to be the two of us?”

Layla was done with check-in, and was giving Diana the travel documents. Diana took tidied them up before replying to Betty, “Yes, just the two of us. Don’t you want that?”

Betty clasped her hands together. “Of course, I want that!”

It’s just that…

“It’ll be even better if Daddy comes along.”

If Sean were around too, it’d be perfect!

However, Betty didn’t dare bring up Sean in front of Diana.

The few times she did that, Diana would sob uncontrollably. Since then, she never mentioned anything regarding Sean before Diana.

She missed Sean.

Mommy missed Sean even more.

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

“But it’s alright even if Daddy doesn’t come along.”

Betty was a sweet-talker. She saw the in Diana’s eyes, and immediately hugged Diana and gave her mother cheek 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.
