Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 768

Unfortunately, none of them could persuade Betty to come back.

They eventually had to make Sean, the one whom Betty feared the most, to step forward.

As long as Sean asked for Betty to come back, she would definitely do so without a moment’s delay.

What choice did Betty have? Her brother was cold, distant, cool and aloof.

Of all people, Betty feared him the most.

To everyone’s surprise however, this time, even Sean was unable to persuade her to come back.

Each time Betty saw his brother’s call on her smart watch, guilt would fill her heart.

She hadn’t completed her mission, and there was now a candidate for her new daddy.

She didn’t want to see her brother.

Despite that, he kept calling. If she refused to answer his call, would he never talk to her ever again?

The mere thought of it made Betty anxious to the verge of tears.

This time, the sight of Betty on the verge of tears didn’t make Julian approach her and coax her.

Instead, his brows furrowed as he asked, “Has your mommy left?”

Betty nodded, and raised her chubby arms as a silent request for Julian to carry her. “Mr. Julian, I’m sad.”

He was sad himself.

How could he possibly comfort another?

“Play by yourself first,” Julian said emotionlessly. The thought of Diana leaving the villa once again tore a huge, gaping hole in his heart; so deep that it seemed bottomless, and so high it seemed to reach the heavens.

He could only feel the teeth-bitingly cold wind gush through the gaping hole.

“Mr. Fulcher!” Betty ran up to him and grabbed the corner of his shirt, looking up at him with longing.

Her legs were like soft, fluffy layers of bread, giving one the urge to hug her.

But Julian didn’t want to see her right now.

Betty looked too much like Diana.

Looking at Betty made him inevitably think of Diana.

That heartless woman didn’t even want to stay in the villa for one more day, even for the sake of her own daughter!

How much did she want to be with Simon?

The thought made Julian’s heart ache once more.
