Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 831

The apartment Simon previously found had withdrawn the lease offer, so Diana told Oliver, “I’ll stay in this hotel for a couple of days until I find another apartment.”

Ideally, it would be in the suburbs with a good environment.

“Coincidentally, I have a vacant bungalow,” Oliver suggested when he heard about Betty’s current condition. “It’s located in the suburbs. There’s a river outside, with mountains at the back and beautiful scenery all around. There are also many children in the neighborhood, which would be great for Betty and Sean to make new friends. If you want, you can bring the twins there.”

“No need,” Diana said. She instinctively didn’t want to have too much to do with Oliver.

Not just because of her instincts, but also because of his forceful approach that restricted her movements by force.

He was fast, accurate, and vicious—completely unlike his warm and gentle appearance.

“I’ll give you the key and the address. It’s up to you whether you want to go.”

Before Diana could reject him properly, he drove away.

Apartments in Richburgh were in high demand, and Diana couldn’t find something suitable even after multiple attempts. Eventually, she decided to stay in the studio.

The moment she arrived, she realized that it was located in the city center where traffic was heavy. Betty wouldn’t even be able to relax, let alone fully recover.

Diana saw the tense look on Betty; her nose wrinkled up as tears welled up in her eyes.

“Betty.” Diana crouched down low and looked at Betty. “You haven’t called me Mommy in a while.”

Betty remained silent.

She simply stared at Diana in a daze.

What happened that day traumatized Betty badly.

Her daughter had become like this because of her. What else did Diana have to fear?

No matter the kind of person Oliver may be and his ulterior motives, she decided to look at his bungalow.

The environment was excellent indeed.

Diana could sense Betty relaxing the moment they arrived at the place.
