Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 882

The night passed without any further words.

It wasn't until morning that Julian realized something was off.

Why did he obediently sleep in the same room as Diana?

After all, their children weren't watching them. As a result, he spent a restless night—whenever Diana moved or shifted slightly, his hand would automatically move towards her stomach. He did that subconsciously, too.

Because of that, she slapped him in the middle of the night. She called him a scoundrel, and said he was shameless.

Julian was so angry, he wanted to leave with the blanket. Yet when he saw her curling up in pain, trembling, he couldn't leave. So, he massaged her stomach again and again.

Diana got used to his massages, and soon stopped resisting. Slowly, she fell back to sleep.

But Julian was on high alert all night. Whenever she moved, he would rush to massage her stomach.

And yet, what was the point?

Looking at her expression—like she wanted to eat him alive in the early morning—he felt that his disobedient hand deserved to be chopped. His brain, too.

Last night, he should’ve left quickly after the children went away.

He climbed out of bed and went to the door. As soon as he opened it, he saw a sleepy Betty and a calm Sean standing outside like two gate guardians.

When he stepped out, they both looked up at him in unison. Betty even extended her arms towards him, gesturing that she wanted to be held.

Julian was pleasantly surprised, and quickly pulled his little daughter into his arms. He was relieved he hadn't left the room last night. Otherwise, he would’ve been in big trouble if the kids caught him.

His daughter would never rely on him as much as she did today. He had to admit, Diana's influence on the children was much greater than his.
