Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 867

Meanwhile, Betty was still awake.

Her eyes flew wide open the moment she heard about her brother crying.

She kept struggling to leave the room, looking as if she wanted to go and look for Sean.

Julian could tell what she was trying to do, but this time, he didn’t let her have her way.

Julian carried her back to the bed, not even bothering to read her a story. “Betty, it’s already past midnight. You must go back to sleep!”

He tucked her into the sheets, not taking no for an answer.

Before, Julian had never treated Betty like this. Although she was ill, she wasn’t completely ignorant or unfeeling.

Especially now, with how frightening Julian seemed.

Her eyes welled up with tears.

The sight of her tear-filled eyes made Julian recall what Mrs. Lay had said about Sean crying silently in his room.

That wasn’t how a man should behave!

He could understand why Betty cried, but not why Sean did the same.

Julian was very cross with Sean. “A boy who’s completely spoiled by his mother. He has poor habits, and he doesn’t have an ounce of masculinity in him!”

After finally putting Betty back to bed, Julian went to the corridor outside her room. He peeked into Sean’s room to make sure the boy wasn’t crying anymore and was fast asleep. Only then did he close the door, relieved. After that, he called Vans.

Vans was clearly unhappy at being rudely awakened in the middle of the night.

The moment he heard that it was Julian, he suppressed his fatigue and replied, “What exactly is the matter?”

Julian recounted what had happened today.

Nina happened to be sleeping right next to Vans.

The moment she heard Julian on the phone, her drowsiness left her. Her ears perked up, and she eavesdropped on the conversation.

After Vans finally hung up, she asked Vans eagerly, “Are both twins crying?”

Vans nodded. “They’re little kids. I’m sure Julian knows what he’s doing. Don’t go texting Diana just because you heard that the twins are crying. I haven’t settled scores with you over the toothbrush.”

Nina was quick to defend herself. “If I didn’t trick you into taking Julian’s toothbrush for me, we wouldn’t be able to confirm that the twins were his flesh and blood.

“Strange.”
