Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1381

To be accurate, Betty needed her greatly.

Sean, on the other hand, had become independent way too early and was now in his own little world.

The thought made Diana feel slightly down.

Her children had all grown up.

She had to keep warning herself to retreat from their lives in a civil manner. That was her first lesson as a parent.

They were children she had painstakingly raised since their birth, and she had inevitably grown deeply attached to them.

Retreat from their lives…

To learn how to constantly retreat and draw further away was truly tough.

Diana held back the tears in her eyes as she untied Betty’s hair.

Betty’s hair had just been washed this morning, and the sweet scent of her shampoo was still lingering in her hair.

Diana couldn’t help but rub her nose at the scent. “Does the shampoo at our house smell so good?”

“No.” Betty shook her head. “The shampoo we use at home doesn’t have a scent.”

Where did that sweet scent come from, then?

Diana could smell the strong fragrance of roses; it made her think of their vivid red color, even without seeing any.

Since the sweet smell wasn’t coming from Betty's hair and wasn’t the fragrance used in the room, where exactly was the scent coming from?

She was just wondering about it when she heard a commotion at the balcony.

She ignored it.

“I’ll take you to the shower,” Diana said, holding Betty’s hand and leading the girl to the bathroom.

She had booked a room with a bathtub. She had prepared a bubble bath sachet, which she placed in the tub and ran the water before telling Betty to go in.
