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?"
