Chapter 985
Diana looked at his defiant expression, and couldn't help but find it amusing.
"Why is it that the more we talk, the more petty you become? You're an adult. Can't you just talk to me normally?
Why do you have to make Betty relay your message?"
However, Julian didn't listen and was persistent. "Sweetie, tell your mommy I don't want to talk to her."
Betty hesitated for a while, but she quickly raised her adorable round eyes. In a childlike voice, she said, 'Mommy,
Daddy said he doesn't want to talk to you."
"Julian, have you forgotten? What did the doctor say last time during the child psychology lecture? He said we must
create a healthy family environment to-"
Before Diana could finish her sentence, Julian interjected," Sweetie, tell your mommy I'm done eating."
With that, Julian left, intending to return to his own room. Diana watched his retreating figure. She was so angry,
she could feel herself getting a heart attack.
"Julian, do you really not care about the children? Do you really have to be angry with me in front of them?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDid she honestly think he wanted to be angry with her?
It was clear that she didn't believe in him. She was the one who provoked his anger; what’s more, she maintained
that attitude toward him.
At this point, the bandage on his lower back needed to be changed.
Did Diana ask about it?
No, because she didn't care at all.
She only cared about Simon.
This was something even the children could perceive.
"Betty's aphasia has already improved, so don't use the happy family thing to pressure me,” he said. He went to the
staircase, and pressed the button for the second-floor elevator. Holding Betty, he sneered at Diana. "If you don't
care, why should I?"
Could he alone create a harmonious family environment? Why should he be held to such high standards when she
didn't care?
Over these past few days, he had been busy dealing with Cecilia. Even so, he had never allowed the situation to
affect their relationship, unlike how Diana had allowed Simon to.
Right now, Diana had clearly reversed her priorities!
Just before entering the elevator, he had Betty relay a message to Diana, "Don't contact me tonight. My phone will
be off."
"Simon's the sick one. You keep insisting on being angry with me because I'm caring for him-"
The elevator doors shut before she could finish, and Julian disappeared before Diana's eyes.
Sean observed everything silently. He put down his utensils, and wiped his mouth. "Mommy, I'm done eating."
Diana felt uneasy. She knew she had been neglecting her relationship with Julian over the past few days, but she
had been trying to balance things as much as possible. The main issue was Simon's condition. She needed time to
find the right balance.
Turning to Sean, she tried to smooth her furrowed brows. Smiling at her son, she said, "Alright. After Mommy
finishes eating, I'll come and play with you."
Sean's long eyelashes covered his eyes, concealing the emotions within. "No need. You can go take care of Uncle
Simon."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYesterday, Diana had promised to play with him. Just as they were about to take out their toys, Simon called Diana,
saying his legs felt a bit uncomfortable. Diana immediately ran downstairs to help massage them.
Simon couldn't bear to have her use her hands, so she had to use an electric massager on him. However, she felt
bad leaving his room so quickly, and they ended up chatting for a while.
When Diana came out of Simon’s room, Sean had already fallen asleep.
"Sean, you're such a considerate child," she said fondly.
Diana didn't think too much of it, as she was genuinely concerned about checking on Simon.
Earlier today, Julian had gone to Simon's room with the stew. She didn't know what they talked about, but whatever
it was had led Simon to ask Julian not to drive him away.
She hadn't even settled accounts with Julian, but he was already upset with her. Thinking about his sulky face, she
felt speechless.
"You're more considerate than him, that's for sure." She patted Sean's head, kissed his forehead, and then let him
go upstairs.
Sean didn't return to his own room. Instead, he went to look for Julian.
Since they had moved back to the villa, this was the first time he had taken the initiative to look for Julian.
