Chapter 315
Julian had certainly noticed it, though he hadn’t expected Diana to have a headache over their children’s gender so
early in her pregnancy.
“It’s not that I don’t like girls,” Julian tried to explain, looking straight into her eyes.
There was a myriad of emotions in his eyes that she hadn’t seen before, even in their three years of marriage. It
was so intense, it looked like they were about to consume her.
At this moment, Diana was certain that Julian was seeing her rather than a shadow of someone else. His gaze no
longer seemed as far off as it did in the past; it didn’t seem he was looking for someone else through her.
Diana felt her mind spin at the implications. She was tempted just to let and fall…
go
And fall she did, right into his arms.
Julian carried her in his arms and left the table, making his way slowly upstairs.

Seeing that Diana accepted his intimate touch, he held his beloved as he walked contently. “I wish I could have two
children who take after you, so that there would be many Dianas around me and many more after.”
Diana didn’t expect such thoughts from Julian. His words instantly cleared her head, and she retorted, “No. There
are lots of boys who take after their father, you know?”
He simply didn’t like girls, did he?
What was wrong with having daughters?
Girls were soft and delicate!
“Generally speaking, the possibility of boys taking after their mothers is higher,” Julian said as he pulled out data
that he had recently collected. “Look, I’ve researched to know it’s not nonsense.”
Diana looked at the PowerPoint file he had sent her. Sighing, she said, “Fine, you’ve convinced me…”
“It’s better if they take after you,” Julian said, thinking that she looked adorable with her pouting. He couldn’t help
but lean down to kiss her. “If we have girls and they take after you, I’d be even happier.”
He was a man, after all.
Which father wouldn’t want little girls? Which father wouldn’t want to hold and protect them, and
them to the ends of the world?

Especially since their mother didn’t get the pampering she deserved. Well, Julian would ensure he made it up
to her and his children a hundredfold.
“But… I’m afraid the children will take after me,” Julian suddenly said softly. “I’m not good enough.”
He had always broken Diana’s heart, after all.
He consistently failed to express his emotions well, and always got his feelings wrong.
He tightened his grip around Diana’s waist, as if trying to convey his overwhelming emotions to her. The words he
had suppressed for so long were finally out in the open.
“I don’t like myself, but I like you.”
At first, Diana thought she had misheard him. When she looked into his eyes, she slowly returned to her

She knew she had heard him right.
Julian didn’t like himself, but he liked her.
How could such words be so beautiful to hear…yet so heartbreaking?
In her mind, Julian lacked nothing. He was impeccable. He had the looks, family, height, and everything else that
one could think of.
In Richburgh, he was the dream man of countless women.
Yet, this near–perfect man had whispered in her ears that he wasn’t good enough and didn’t like himself; rather, he
liked her!
Diana didn’t know if he was lying, or whether he had Kayla in his mind when he said this. She was even more
unsure if his statement was entirely genuine, but for now…
She was willing to take a chance and assume he was being as sincere as he could.
And so…
She gently straightened her back in his arms as she reached out to wrap both hands around his neck, and took the
initiative to kiss him.
