Chapter 989
To maintain a peaceful relationship between the two, it might be best to avoid mentioning Simon’s existence
altogether.
At the very least, Diana should try to downplay Simon's significance in front of Julian. The fact that he was
personally speaking to her now, instead of having Betty relay messages, was already a sign of submission.
She understood this man’s oddities, even though they were often unexplainable. Although his quirks were often a
bit puzzling, she could still read him well.
''Sure." As expected, Julian was being difficult. He refused to give in easily. "Tell me, then. Why are you here?"
Diana was speechless.
Well, it was true she was the one who initiated this meeting.
She was a bit stifled inside, but she followed his lead and continued, "What’s the deal with these love letters?"
"What could be the deal? Sean's just popular." He raised an eyebrow and asked her, "Aren't you happy? Or do you
think Sean is too young for this?"
It wasn't that.

sun, coffee, or the little flowers and grass by the roadside.
Most parents these days were quite open-minded, especially since Sean was attending an international bilingual
kindergarten where the children's mindset was even more progressive.
She had even opened and read through the love letters. Some were clearly composed with the help of parents.
Children's emotions were pure.
It was the same as how Sean told her he would only marry Faye when he grew up. Since they had come to
Richburgh, she hadn't heard him mention Faye's name again.
Children had fleeting interests. Perhaps when they grew up, they wouldn't even remember their kindergarten
classmates.
She found it hard to put into words, but she still confided in Julian. "I'm worried. Sean has received so many love
letters, but why did he tell only you and not me...?"
Had she failed as a mother?
Before, Sean used to tell her everything. Yet now, there were things he would tell Julian and not her.
"Of course," Julian said.
It was truly pleasant to have a decent conversation with Diana without Simon's interference.
Julian looked dissatisfied as he asked Diana, "Do you know what Betty asked me?"
"What?"
Julian recounted Betty's words-whether Diana was planning to replace their father-and Diana's face reddened
slightly. She couldn't help but feel her heart break.
She looked at Betty, and asked, "Sweetie, did you really think that?"
Betty nodded.
Diana felt increasingly perplexed.
It wasn't Betty's words, or Julian's attitude.
It was her own actions.
She had always thought that not relying on Julian and believing that she could handle everything on her own was
the right approach. In reality, considering her daughter's words and the love letters her son had received, it
seemed...
Her independence had failed quite miserably.
She suddenly felt at a loss, unsure of the right thing to do.

She glanced at him. If even Betty could ask whether Diana would replace their father, it showed how much she had
been neglecting him lately.
Thinking about it, it seemed his recent difficult attitude and the many tantrums he had thrown were all justified.
A bitter feeling surged in Diana's heart, and her tears began to well up.
Julian was somewhat puzzled.
Actually...
By intentionally making her come to him on her own, he was already following Sean's advice and was trying to
appease her.
If he didn't do anything, they would probably still be in a cold war for a few more days because of her anger.
He wanted her to realize her mistake.
In truth, he hadn't done much at all. He simply used Betty's doll and Sean's love letters to lead her upstairs, and
prompt her to initiate a conversation with him.
Now, she was tearing up.
The usually cunning and domineering Julian Fulcher was suddenly helpless.
