Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 874

Diana was shocked.

She couldn't believe these were words coming from Sean's mouth. Astonished, she asked, "Sean, do you know what the basement is?"

"I know." Sean nodded. He often heard about it in bedtime stories. "It's very cold, dark, uncomfortable, and there are mice."

Diana felt even more upset. "Then why did you say that you want Mommy to live in the basement?"

He held Diana's hand. "That's the only way you can stay. Betty and I need you, Mommy."

To fulfill his needs, he was willing to let her live in a basement with mice. His words sent a chill up her spine. Was this the same boy who once said that he would protect her?

Diana tightened her grip on his small hand. "Then why don't you leave with Mommy?"

Sean shook his head.

"I need Mommy, and I need Daddy too." He stood by the window, and pointed downstairs. “Look at that bad man. He doesn't dare to be arrogant in front of Daddy."

The shadow Zachary cast over the two children was too significant. It made Sean believe that he was safer with Julian than with Diana.

His perception broke Diana's guard. What right did she have to blame Julian? Both she and him were inadequate parents.

While she was lost in thought, Julian took the opportunity to take Betty from her arms.

He was feeling triumphant because Sean refused to leave with Diana, but Betty suddenly started crying. She was even more frightened than before.

Diana didn't have time to think about anything else. She smacked Julian and snarled, "Julian!"

This time, she didn't need to say much; Julian voluntarily handed Betty back to Diana.

Just like before, Diana held Betty tightly and comforted her, walking several circles in the room until she finally calmed down.
