Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 788

Julian was afraid the noise might disturb Sean, so he quickly answered the call and spoke softly, "I'm fine. I just had to tell Sean a few bedtime stories before he slept, so my throat is sore."

Vans was surprised. "Bedtime stories?"

Did bedtime stories cause one to have a sore throat?

"Those kids are torturers, huh?"

Julian was upset when he heard Vans's words. After all, he had always been a protective man.

"I wanted to let Betty torment me, but Sean didn't let it happen. He said Betty was a girl, and he was vehemently guarded against me when it was bathtime."

"They're kinda young to be gender-conscious, aren't they?" Vans mused, somewhat impressed with the two children.

"Of course not," Julian said. "Did you forget who their parents are?"

Vans didn't sound like he was inclined to forgive Diana anytime soon, even though he had been friends with her.

Three years ago, Diana left without a word. She didn't tell anyone—not even Nina—that she was back.

Even Nina was angry at Diana, and refused to meet her.

But Julian, that jerk! Not only had he rushed to see Diana, but he even brought home the two children!

Vans couldn't hide the disappointment he felt toward Diana. "Julian, have you ever thought that the two kids might not be yours?"

In fact, Julian once did.

But Sean looked so much like him as a child.

It was only later in life that once Julian grew up and matured that the boyish features gradually faded, and he became what he looked like now.

Vans understood his friend. "That's why you took them away. You wanted to get DNA samples and confirmation."

Also, Julian could use this test to check if Diana had betrayed him or not.

"Come on in," Julian said, not responding to Vans's statement, which implied his agreement. "They're asleep, and I've already got their hair for the test."

He and Vans were so lost in their conversation that Julian missed the small movements behind him.
