Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 990

Chapter 990

Now, Julian seemed like a child who had done something wrong. His thoughts were a mess, and he was unable to understand where Diana's sadness was coming from.

"In our children's hearts, you want to replace me, their dad. Shouldn't I be the sad one?"

Julian quickly took Betty in his arms. Like coaxing a child, he used a tissue to gently wipe Diana's face. He comforted her softly, "Shh. Don't cry. Be good. Let me wipe away those tears, okay?"

Seeing his slightly hunched and nervous appearance and his increasingly soothing tone, Diana's heart suddenly softened. It was like being brushed by a feather, a gentle touch.

She lowered her head. She acknowledged his words, like a child admitting her mistake. "I won't cry."

She had such a good boyfriend. In moments when she was being difficult, when she was stubbornly trying to take everything on herself, thinking she could handle and balance everything, he always offered her the greatest patience.

Independence...

It wasn't about not relying on others.

It was about maintaining independence while relying on someone.

Just like now.

Julian holding the child allowed her to have time to process her emotions. The child could receive great care, while she could improve herself.

She had a boyfriend, yet she didn't confide or rely on him.

Wasn't she a fool for not doing so?

Diana laughed inwardly at herself.

After a bit of self-reassurance, she kissed Betty's cheek.

Then she suddenly extended her arms, embracing Julian tightly. "Thank you."

Thanking him for always being there when she needed him, for being by her side.

Thanking him for never dwelling on her mistakes, and for being so understanding.

Caught off guard by her embrace, Julian felt a bit flustered. He hadn't done anything yet, so why was Diana suddenly being so kind to him?
