Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1425

Betty’s ability to speak improved by leaps and bounds after she started attending kindergarten. Even Diana was convinced by her statements.

“When is Daddy coming, then?” she blurted. “Did you text Daddy?”

Betty’s face fell.

She did text Daddy, but…

Daddy didn’t reply to her!

Her face was all scrunched up, and her brows furrowed into little hills. Diana knew immediately that Betty didn’t get what she wished for. “Daddy didn’t reply to you?”

Betty nodded. “He didn’t.”

Then she looked at Diana, her eyes widening in shock, as Diana was an alien.

“Mommy!”

“What?”

“How did you know that I texted Daddy?”

Mommy told her that they shouldn’t contact Daddy, but she went against Mommy’s wishes. She was even caught for it!

She felt guilty.

“I know magic,” Diana said with a smile. “I know everything you do.”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Betty was even more astonished. How did she not know that Mommy could use magic, despite spending so much time with her?!

She looked at Diana in awe. “Then, can you make me fly up in the air with magic? I want to say hello to the clouds in the sky! I also want to ask them if I can ride on them like a horsie…”

If she could ride the clouds, that would definitely send her higher and further than when she rode on Daddy’s shoulders!

In fact, she could almost feel the wind blowing past her face before her wish was granted.

Of course, Diana couldn’t do something so difficult. “Go to sleep, sweetie.”

She switched the hairdryer on, and blew Betty’s hair dry. “You can have everything you want in your dreams after you fall asleep.”

Betty blinked innocently as she looked at Diana. “Mommy, do you mean that you can only use magic in my dreams? If I don’t sleep, you won’t be able to use magic?”

Yet another round of questions.

Diana began regretting claiming to know magic.

Why did she have to provoke this little princess?! Just look at her wishful gaze!

Diana felt defeated. “I lied to you just now. I don’t know magic.”

Betty was now upset. “Since you don’t know magic, why did you say you do? Mommy, it’s not right to lie, you know.”

Diana rubbed her nose, and apologized obediently. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine,” Betty said, as she caressed Diana’s hair. “I forgive you. But you must not lie from now on! Otherwise, your nose will grow longer. I don’t want an ugly mommy…”

Diana nodded at her daughter’s lecture. “Of course, I won’t lie ever again.”

Oh, heavens!

Send her husband over to save her from this torment! She didn’t want to take care of her daughter all by herself now.

She was used to having Julian by her side and not having to worry about a single thing, so she really missed him right now.

Diana glanced out of the window, as if Julian would appear right before her eyes any second now.

While she didn’t see Julian, she spotted another familiar face in the window.

James Winnington…?!

The man standing in front of the car of the Hughes household, parked downstairs, was none other than James Winnington—who had vanished from Richburgh for a long time!
