Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1368

That was true.

Julian gradually realized what was amiss. "She didn't even tell me about it before leaving, or discuss it with me."

He had been eager to have a good conversation with Diana, but he overlooked the simple logic behind her travel decision.

"No, I need to contact Layla first."

He felt an urgent sense of being caught off guard that left him vulnerable.

Fortunately, Layla answered quickly. "Sir, I finally got in touch with you!"

After Diana boarded the plane, Layla had been worried all day. What if something happened to Diana and Betty?

Julian hadn't followed them. What if something really did happen?

Layla quickly updated Julian on Diana and Jim's interaction, and how Jim had booked the tickets for them.

Julian immediately caught on. "Jim Hughes invited Diana to Jacroaof?"

"Yes. There was originally a ticket for you too, but Madam couldn't reach you and was afraid of delaying the flight, so she left with Betty first."

It was just a plane ticket. Couldn’t the Fulchers afford that?

It was clear Diana deliberately took Betty to see Jim.

A bitter taste spread in his mouth, and Julian tried not grit his teeth. It gradually turned into a horrible aftertaste.

"I'll contact Diana again. I'll go to Jacroaof and look for her," Julian reassured Layla.

Since she didn't contact him, he would go find her.

Betty knew Julian wouldn't just sit back and do nothing. Taking advantage of Diana's lapse of attention, she opened her phone and checked the latest message from her father.

He said he was coming to find them.

And so, Betty stopped worrying.

After all, no matter how angry her parents were at each other, they would quickly hug and kiss as soon as they met.

Seeing them like that made Betty feel rather embarrassed. She would turn her face away, pretending not to see anything.

Anyway, the first rule for Fulcher children was: never get involved in Mommy and Daddy's fights, and never take either side.
