Julian's Stand in Wife

Diana didn’t think she should have said that.

However, she also didn’t think she should apologize to Nina.

After all, she had Nina’s best interests at heart.

It was precisely because she had experienced so much pain before that Diana hoped Nina’s relationship would be smooth-sailing, and that she would end up happy.

…Instead of hopelessly waiting for Vans to fulfill his promise.

Hopelessly becoming a third wheel in someone else’s relationship, treating whatever leftover moments she could have as happiness.

That was too cruel to Nina.

A pity Nina was too deep in her affections for Vans that she couldn’t pull herself out of it.

Diana didn’t open the door for Julian despite him knocking, and he had wanted to key in the password to enter the room. However, he was worried that she would be angry if he did that. He had no choice but to call Betty over.

He hoped Betty would be able to cheer Mommy up, enough that she would leave the room.

At the moment, Betty was playing in her room. Diana hadn’t taken her to Fanny’s funeral.

Julian barged into Betty’s room in a panic.

Seeing him, Betty yelled unhappily, “Daddy!”
