Chapter 1082
Julian felt as if a bird had flown past him, blowing a slight breeze on his face.
He looked up. The coldness in his eyes melted into tenderness.
"Betty."
Julian finally closed his laptop, and reached his hands out to his daughter. "Come here for a hug with Daddy."
"No!" Betty wasn't about to be placated by Julian into accepting everything with just a few words of comfort. "You
promised you’d take me to see Mommy and Sean."
Betty's voice was laced with indignation. She put out her fingers, and said to Julian, "It's been three days. Oh, wait."
She put down three fingers, and counted again before putting out four fingers.
"It's been four days, and you haven't told me when you're going to take me to them!"
Betty called them so many times in a day, since video calling Mommy was the only thing she could do.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSean wasn't willing to be in the video call. Each time she called out to him through the video, she could only hear his
response. She couldn't see his face at all.
Betty missed him. She wanted to give Mommy a hug, too.
She didn't just want to say that she wanted to kiss and hug Mommy over the phone.
"I miss Mommy, too," Julian said. He paused for a moment, his eyes revealing his helplessness. "As well as Sean, of
course."
'Then let's drive to them," Betty said as she tilted her head, looking at Julian confusedly. "Since we have a car, we
can find Mommy and Sean real fast. Why don’t we do that?"
Julian didn't have the right to.
He failed to call off his engagement with Cecilia. He couldn’t find Noel, either.
Was he really going to see Diana as the fiance of another woman?
What could he say to her in that position?
Even hugging her seemed indecent of him.
Diana had done so much and suffered so much for him. He didn't want her to feel uncomfortable in any way.
Julian looked down, his long lashes hiding the disappointment and hope in his eyes. He crouched, held Betty's hands,
and asked, "Do you really want to see Mommy?"
Daddy's hands were long and broad. It enveloped Betty's own like a warm glove, and it suddenly made her feel like
crying.
She looked at him, her large eyes wet with tears.
"Daddy... Waaah...! You used to hold my hand like this in the past, but not anymore now... I want to hold Sean and
Mommy’s hands, and be together with everyone..."
That was what Julian wanted, too.
Yet, he didn't have the right now.
"It’s alright," he said, as he hugged Betty and wiped her tears away. "Since you miss them, I’ll send you to Mommy
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand Sean."
'Thank you, Daddy!" Betty was elated that her wish had come true. She flung her doll aside and hugged Julian's
neck tight.
"You’re welcome, honey," Julian said, as he pecked Betty's cheek lightly. Seeing Betty in a good mood, he added,
"But you must promise Daddy one thing.”
"What is it?" Betty was slightly stunned. She pouted indignantly, and asked, "Daddy can send me to Mommy and
Sean, but not today. Is that it?"
Recently, that was what he had been like.
Delaying things day by day.
He would always end up not fulfilling his promises. What was the point of promising her in the first place?
Betty's little face fell.
"No.” Julian shook his head as he carried her outside. "I'll send you to Mommy right away. I won't go back on my
word, and I won’t postpone it."
Diana was currently staying with Nina. She never returned to CoIlina Villa.
"You must promise Daddy," Julian said solemnly to Betty, " you can’t tell Mommy that it was Daddy who sent you to
her, okay?"
