Chapter 1235
Seriously!
Although Sean and Betty gradually didn't want hugs from her, Diana was used to hugging them. She would always
instinctively stretch her arm out for a hug every time the twins felt unwell.
She couldn’t help but feel like the saying was true. It's not the child who couldn't bear to leave the mother, but the
mother who couldn't bear to leave her child.
Even though she was bearing twins, Sean and Betty were still children who needed a mother's hug in her eyes.
But in reality, they were already so tall...
Sean sensed disappointment rising in Diana's chest, and almost held back what he wanted to say further.
The whole family started leaving the funeral and heading toward their car. Everyone was gathered together; since
it wasn't mealtime, no one's appetite would be affected.
Sean thought there wasn't going to be a better time than this. He decided to speak up.

'Yes?" Diana couldn’t help but pinch her son’s cheeks." What’s the matter? Why so serious?"
Her heart started thumping hard.
Sean paused for a moment, seeing the hesitation in Diana's eyes, but he went on, "Daddy, Mommy, I want to join a
training squad."
'Training squad?” Diana instinctively glanced at Julian." What is a training squad?"
"A strict training regiment invented by Grandpa to put the mind and the body to the test," Julian said. "I participated
in it when I was young. It was called Successor Training Camp back then, but because it was so grueling, the son of
a wealthy family died. After that, it was modified and slowly evolved to the training squad it's known today."
"What does it train?" Diana still couldn't figure it out. "Sean, why do you want to join it? You’re still so young! Where
did you hear about it from?"
"I read about it online," Sean said honestly. "Mainly because I find myself very weak."
He couldn't do anything when he and Julian were deep in danger yesterday. He was even beaten up by Tommy and
Enzo.
"It'll take too long to wait for me to grow up. Mommy, I want to become stronger."
Diana remained silent as she felt anger rising in her chest. But she held herself back, not wanting to flare up before
Sean.
The moment she got out of the car, she dragged Julian along and slammed the door shut.
"Honey, do I not treat Sean well? Why does he keep wanting to grow up? Have I failed as his mother?" Diana felt
upset and indignant as she vented her frustrations on Julian.
She was someone without a childhood. She thought that having raised Sean and Betty by herself, she had never
mistreated her children in both physical and emotional aspects.
Yet, Sean had mentioned more than once that he wanted to grow up, despite his tender age.
If it were in the past when they just arrived at Richburgh, Diana could still understand why Sean would say
something like that. They had suffered a lot during that period. Even Zachary could knock on their door to harass
them.

"Did Sean feel scared again because of my negligence yesterday?"
Diana was raising all those questions, but she had no intention of hearing Julian's answer. She kept pacing back and
forth in the room.
Julian stared at her stomach, worried she might affect the fetuses in her agitation. He wouldn't be able to take it if
she were to start bleeding again.
"Sit down first," he said as he clutched his chest, forcing Diana to sit on the bedside.
Diana refused, and slapped his hand away.
"Don't touch me! It must be you! You must have accidentally hurt Sean's heart again! That’s why he wants to grow
up quickly and take part in that training squad! That training squad sounds so grueling already! He’s still so young..."
Diana pushed Julian toward the door.
"I don't care, go and persuade Sean and stop him from joining! Sob... Julian, go on! He's still so young... Sniff..."
"Children who join the training squad are all very young," Julian said, not daring to leave Diana in her current state
for fear she might accidentally hurt herself.
