Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 855

Those were indeed Julian's exact words.

He was so frustrated, he couldn't even reply.

After a while, he snapped, "Are you done?"

"No!" Diana took a deep breath. "You're right. You were basically raising children while not knowing a thing about them. You’ve never experienced the pain and heartache of giving birth. How could you be anything but a happy and ignorant father?"

"Watch your words, Diana!"

The way Diana said it made it sound like he had been cheated on, and had raised children that weren't his.

Now that it was confirmed that the two children were his flesh and blood, her words made him uncomfortable.

Julian crouched, annoyed. "The children are still here. Could your temper be any worse? It’d be great if you scared them all away. You'd be happy, wouldn’t you?"

This man never had any kind words for her. Diana was hurt by his accusations, but dared not speak loudly again.

"I’m more upset about Betty's condition than you are," she said. "Regardless, you have no right to criticize me."

Julian sneered. "Everything you say is unacceptable, as always. I don't know where you got such a temper."

It was always like this.

Why did they always argue whenever they met?

In truth, it was because he never really listened to what she was saying. He only saw her unusual temper.

He heard every word she said with meticulous scrutiny, but he couldn't see the vulnerability and sadness hidden behind her anger.

Perhaps he just didn't want to see it.

Diana tried to convince herself that they had nothing between them except the children.

She shouldn't feel sad or wronged because of his attitude.

Seeing the two of them at odds, Sean felt uneasy. He held his sister's hand tightly and looked at Julian. "Dad..."

Last time, he could call Julian "Daddy” with ease. Now, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
