Diana didn’t think she should have said that.
However, she also didn’t think she should apologize to Nina.
After all, she had Nina’s best interests at heart.
It was precisely because she had experienced so much pain before that Diana hoped Nina’s relationship would be
smooth-sailing, and that she would end up happy.
…Instead of hopelessly waiting for Vans to fulfill his promise.
Hopelessly becoming a third wheel in someone else’s relationship, treating whatever leftover moments she could
have as happiness.
That was too cruel to Nina.
A pity Nina was too deep in her affections for Vans that she couldn’t pull herself out of it.
Diana didn’t open the door for Julian despite him knocking, and he had wanted to key in the password to enter the
room. However, he was worried that she would be angry if he did that. He had no choice but to call Betty over.
He hoped Betty would be able to cheer Mommy up, enough that she would leave the room.
At the moment, Betty was playing in her room. Diana hadn’t taken her to Fanny’s funeral.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJulian barged into Betty’s room in a panic.
Seeing him, Betty yelled unhappily, “Daddy!”
Her voice was loud and clear.
Julian trembled in fright. He looked at his daughter, not daring to lift his foot to take another step. Shocked, he
asked, “What’s the matter?”
Betty pouted, the annoyance clear on her face. “You didn’t knock.”
A polite person always knocks before entering a room.
Julian could only enter after getting permission.
He and Diana had always treated their children that way, never disregarding their privacy.
Unfortunately, he had been too anxious today. That was why he barged in without knocking.
Before he had a chance to explain himself, Betty said huffily, “Go out and knock on the door.”
Who else could have such a hold over Julian, with the sole exception of Diana and his twins?
In the future, there would be two more to the list.
The thought of his two daughters in Diana’s womb delighted him. He was more than happy to be bullied by his little
darling.
Julian stepped out obediently.
Knock, knock.
This time, he knocked on the door.
However, no one opened the door.
Knock, knock.
He knocked again.
Betty didn’t say anything to let him in.
Julian was getting anxious. He was hoping Betty would step forward and cheer Diana up, but Betty wasn’t
cooperating at all.
Julian was starting to panic. “Betty! Betty? I’m already knocking on your door. Why aren’t you letting me in?”
Betty’s childish voice sounded from inside, “I told you to knock, but I didn’t say I’d let you in.”
Julian was stunned. “But Daddy has something to ask you. If you don’t let Daddy in, how is Daddy going to talk to
you?”
“I don’t want to talk to you,” Betty replied.
Then, music started playing. It drowned out her voice in the room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBetty had never behaved like this. Why did she keep shutting him out today?
Julian instinctively felt that something must have happened to Betty. For all he knew, she might be angry with him.
However, he couldn’t for the life of him remember when he had offended this little princess.
He could only say pleadingly, “Betty, my darling baby, Daddy and Mommy needs you. Your baby sisters in Mommy’s
tummy need you as well. Can you please come with me to coax Mommy? I…”
Before he was done, the door swung wide open.
He looked into Betty’s red-rimmed eyes. “Mommy needs to be happy. Your baby sisters in Mommy’s tummy need to
be happy, too.”
Through Julian’s daily brainwashing, Betty also firmly believed that Diana was carrying twin girls. She would usually
call the unborn babies her sisters.
“What about me?” Betty looked at him, and added tearfully, “Daddy, don’t I need to be happy too?”
Hah!
That tone clearly betrayed her anger!
Julian felt his head throb, suddenly not knowing which one of them he should coax first.
