Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 764

"Not back to Stirling City," Diana clarified.

She didn't understand why Betty's emotions were so intense, and explained, "It's Richburgh. We're not going back to Stirling. We've all come to Richburgh, and we won't go back again."

It was precisely because they had all come here that Betty was scared. She didn't want to see her brother yet.

"Here," Betty repeated, "right here."

Although Betty had attended early education classes, her vocabulary was still limited due to spending most of her time with the silent and reserved Sean. Sometimes her speech was incomplete, but Diana understood her meaning.

"Do you want to stay in this villa?"

"Mm!" Betty nodded happily. "Mr. Julian is good!"

She liked being with Mr. Julian. She could tie Barbie doll braids on his head and apply Barbie doll lipstick on his face. Just thinking about these things made Betty shake her head like a tambourine.

She held Diana's hand and chirped, "Mommy, stay! Stay with Betty!"

Her little face had turned red from excitement.

Diana was bewildered by her daughter's excitement. Had she misunderstood Julian earlier? Maybe he didn't mean to imprison her. He was simply saying that Betty didn't want to leave, so she couldn't leave either. But if she left on her own, then she wouldn't be able to see Betty.

It seemed she had misunderstood Julian. After all, he was Simon's brother and couldn't be too bad, right? He was just a bit rough in his actions.

Although she couldn't fully accept it, she could tolerate it for Simon's sake.

Just as she was thinking about it, Mrs. Lay came over to see her. Julian had been so angry that no one dared call her "ma'am".

Even Mrs. Lay changed how she addressed her. "Miss Winnington."

When Diana looked at her for the first time, she felt a sense of familiarity, but it slipped away too quickly, and she couldn't grasp anything.

She calmly looked at Mrs. Lay walking towards her and politely said, "Hello."

Mrs. Lay was taken aback.
