That was true.
Julian gradually realized what was amiss. “She didn’t even tell me about it before leaving, or discuss it with me.”
He had been eager to have a good conversation with Diana, but he overlooked the simple logic behind her travel
decision.
“No, I need to contact Layla first.”
He felt an urgent sense of being caught off guard that left him vulnerable.
Fortunately, Layla answered quickly. “Sir, I finally got in touch with you!”
After Diana boarded the plane, Layla had been worried all day. What if something happened to Diana and Betty?
Julian hadn’t followed them. What if something really did happen?
Layla quickly updated Julian on Diana and Jim’s interaction, and how Jim had booked the tickets for them.
Julian immediately caught on. “Jim Hughes invited Diana to Jacroaof?”
“Yes. There was originally a ticket for you too, but Madam couldn’t reach you and was afraid of delaying the flight,
so she left with Betty first.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was just a plane ticket. Couldn’t the Fulchers afford that?
It was clear Diana deliberately took Betty to see Jim.
A bitter taste spread in his mouth, and Julian tried not grit his teeth. It gradually turned into a horrible aftertaste.
“I’ll contact Diana again. I’ll go to Jacroaof and look for her,” Julian reassured Layla.
Since she didn’t contact him, he would go find her.
Betty knew Julian wouldn’t just sit back and do nothing. Taking advantage of Diana’s lapse of attention, she opened
her phone and checked the latest message from her father.
He said he was coming to find them.
And so, Betty stopped worrying.
After all, no matter how angry her parents were at each other, they would quickly hug and kiss as soon as they
met.
Seeing them like that made Betty feel rather embarrassed. She would turn her face away, pretending not to see
anything.
Anyway, the first rule for Fulcher children was: never get involved in Mommy and Daddy’s fights, and never take
either side.
Mommy and Daddy were always a team! If they showed favoritism to one side, they would only end up hurting
themselves! A couple’s teamwork was the best.
Betty understood this principle very well.
After confirming that Julian had taken action, she secretly turned off her phone again and put it back into Diana’s
bag.
Sigh.
It was tough.
Sean wasn’t here.
As the younger sister, there were many things she needed to worry about.
Betty sighed again. She couldn’t help but frown. When she noticed her mother looking at her, she immediately put
on a smiling face.
However, in the end, the smile on her face quickly collapsed.
“Mommy.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hmm?”
“I actually…” Betty knew she shouldn’t say this, but looking at Diana, she couldn’t hold back. “…kind of miss Sean.”
She lowered her head, looking very sad. Even without seeing her face, one could tell that her bright eyes were
probably filled with tears now.
Diana couldn’t bear to look; she, like Betty, missed Sean greatly.
Her son had been away from home for so long, and she couldn’t even contact him with a phone call.
Now, she regretted not going with Julian to send him off that day. She wondered if he had gotten thinner during
training.
Sean had definitely lost weight.
Now, he was a bag of bones. There were scars on his body, making him resemble a pitiful little dog. He had to use a
dog bowl to eat, and had to lie on the ground to consume the food.
Despite this, he was satisfied.
After all, he survived, right?
Even the slightest movement of his fingers caused excruciating pain.
He could only prop himself up with his elbows and then lower his head into the bowl, licking and eating bit by bit.
His feet were also badly injured.
