Chapter 1151
When Julian remained silent, Diana felt like she was being disregarded.
She just wanted to make her voice louder and make her actions bigger, so that her husband would look at her more
and care more for her.
All the better if he could comfort her, too.
She didn't flare up.
She was just hinting to her husband that she needed him.
Thankfully, Julian wasn’t a block of wood. His heart was very much occupied with Diana and her feelings. He saw
through her, and said with a chuckle, "Are you still angry now that I'm hugging you?"
"Not anymore," she said, shaking her head and suddenly finding herself rather pretentious. She buried her face in
his broad chest.
"I don't hate you," Julian said, his tone growing more gentle when he saw how embarrassed she felt. "I am actually
slightly angry."
Diana didn’t understand. "What are you getting angry at?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I feel angry at myself and at you. Before, I did consider having another child with you. Later on, though... I thought
about the scar on your stomach, and I felt I was being inhumane. Knowing how much pain pregnancy and labor
causes a woman, how could I put you through that again?"
He also read up a lot regarding pregnancy and labor.
"Cesarean section isn't exactly a 100% risk-free operation. In fact, the risk of amniotic fluid embolism in cesarean
section is higher than that of natural labor. After the operation..." He gazed emotionally at Diana as he completed
his sentence," The pain would be so bad, you can't even walk."
One even had to go to the washroom quickly after removing the catheter. The pain was almost as bad as
contractions during natural labor.
On the other hand, natural labor required the cervix to be dilated by 10 centimeters.
That kind of pain...
Julian shuddered just at the mere thought of it.
"I can’t bear it."
He couldn't bear to let Diana through that kind of pain again, especially if it could be avoided in the first place.
"If Grandma was still around, she definitely wouldn't agree to you having another child. We already have the twins,
and I think that’s great. It’s enough for me.”
Diana was moved by his sincerity. His words were like honey to her, but that didn’t mean she agreed with his
thinking. "But... It does hurt, but I really want to experience pregnancy and labor with you."
Ultimately, she had regrets. Be it the ten months of pregnancy, going into the labor ward, or the painful and happy
moments taking care of the babies afterward... She wanted to experience it all with Julian.
Diana hugged Julian's neck and smiled. "I think it’s better to have more people in the family. It's not like Mr. Fulcher
can't afford to feed more mouths."
That was true.
Even if Diana gave birth to children enough to form a soccer team, Julian would have the financial ability to raise
them all without breaking a sweat.
Seeing Julian silent, Diana went on, "You saw how sad Simon looked when he came alone to celebrate the new year
with us. This villa is also surrounded by rich neighbors, but so what? The old couple nearby our house is alone
during the new year because their children are all overseas.
It looks really sad."
Earlier in the afternoon, Diana dropped by with the twins to give the old couple some pastries. The couple had been

They kept holding onto Diana and the twins' hands, refusing to let go.
They almost wanted to give Diana and the twins all the snacks they had.
The desire to interact with, talk to others, and being cared for by others moved Diana deeply.
The old couple gave their helper a break over the new year.
They ended up the only ones left in the huge villa. Even the wall decorations in their home were put up by Julian
after Diana asked for his help.
They were advanced in years, so it wasn’t safe for them to climb up high.
Their wall decorations finally came in use after Julian came over to help. His efforts brought some festive cheer to
the house.
On the other hand, what if Diana and Julian hadn't visited them today?
The old couple would be sitting all alone in that big, empty house. They would be listening to the fireworks outside
and looking at all the happy families gathered together, and then back at the wall decorations they weren't able to
put up.
Their new year would be cold and lonely.
'That old couple is a unique case. They're retired professors from Richburgh Arts Academy. In fact, they..."
As Julian spoke, he felt sad for them.
