Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1519

Chapter 1519

All his life, Simon had wanted the recognition of the Fulcher family. Yet, until his death, Julian never acknowledged him as a brother.

Simon also never saw Betty acknowledge him as a blood- related uncle instead of just a close family friend.

Diana decided to tell Betty everything about Simon. She felt that Betty was old enough to understand many things. She believed Betty had the right to form her own opinions and impressions about Simon.

After listening, Betty remained silent for a long while. Then, she looked at Diana and asked, "Mommy, do you think Uncle Simon was a good person?"

After all, he had done terrible things to Diana. He caused a rift between her and Julian, and keeping Betty and Sean away from Julian.

But now, Simon had sacrificed himself to protect them. For the first time, Betty felt the complexity of human nature.

"Yes," Diana responded decisively. "I think he's a good person. He just...never received love when he was younger, so he didn't know how to love."

But...

If Simon hadn't passed away this time, she believed that both she and Julian would have treated him like family.

However, everything was too late now.

Every mention of Simon made Diana more emotional. The grief she had previously suppressed to keep Julian from noticing now surged up.

"Anyway, Uncle Simon was a very good person. Sweetie, always remember him."

Julian didn’t disagree with Diana's sentiment.

He kneeled to Betty, and said, "Sweetie, he's your uncle.

Your real uncle. When we return to Richburgh, well bring him home together."

Diana looked at Julian in shock. "You intend to let Simon be buried in the Fulcher family's ancestral tomb?"

"She will," Julian affirmed. "If I'm not mistaken, she’s probably gone to find James."

Although Diana and James had lived together for many years due to Madam Hughes's arrangements, their shared past was undeniable. The pieces of their past needed to be addressed.

For Kate to mend her unresolved feelings and move forward, she had to confront James and understand her emotions.

"When she escorted you from the lab to the hospital, we exchanged contact numbers," Julian went on.

He believed that once Kate had clarity on everything, she would undoubtedly seek Diana out.

Diana nodded. "And what about Madam Hughes-Sarah Lindt?"

"If she doesn't get a death sentence, she'll at least get lifetime imprisonment. The crimes she committed against Kate alone would require a lifetime to atone for," Julian said.

As for Jim, neither of them wished to utter that ominous name. After all, his demise was a consequence of his own actions. Both felt he got what he deserved.
