Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 763

Diana was the only one in this world that could say his name like it was a lovely melody. But now, she jerked back as if she had seen a ghost and forcefully shrunk into herself.

"You're Simon's brother."

It wasn't appropriate for him to apply the ointment personally. Julian sensed her underlying message, and threw the ointment harshly. The white cream spread across the floor, and he trampled over it thoughtlessly.

He leaned in close to her cheek.

There was a wall behind Diana, and she had no more room to retreat. She could only widen her eyes in fear and weakly call out, "Brother..."

The three years of yearning that Julian had accumulated finally crumbled in the face of the word "Brother."

She really knew how to practically wrench his heart out and stomped on it, didn't she?!

Julian didn't let this heartless woman see the tears in his eyes. He stood up and left, commanding in an icy tone, "Without my order, no one is allowed to let her leave!"

It was akin to disguised imprisonment!

Diana had no idea how she had offended him. She was about to get up and confront him when she was startled by the view of his back. Why did she find this stranger's back so familiar? She clearly had just met him for the first time.

"Mommy!"

A cute and crisp call interrupted her musings; Diana looked up, and saw Betty. The excitement of seeing her daughter dispelled the doubts in her heart. She stopped thinking and quickly picked up Betty. Seeing that the girl was safe and sound, and even wearing a princess dress made of silk, Diana's anxieties finally subsided.

It seemed Simon's brother wasn't as bad as she had thought. Despite being impolite to her, he was kind to Betty. Betty had a lazy personality, and always wanted to be carried by people.

Now, she was clinging to Diana's neck and showering Diana’s face with kisses. Her big, adorable eyes shimmered with golden specks as she kissed Diana.

Nestled in Diana's neck, she sniffled softly and suddenly said, "Mommy, I missed you."

One sentence from Betty made Diana's heart ache.

"I missed you too." Diana touched Betty's little bun and asked, "Why is your hair crooked?" She lifted Betty onto a stool to fix it.
