Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1265

Diana wasn’t in the mood to banter with Betty. Her mind was in a mess.

“Your daddy and Mr. Channing said that they were going to lie to someone else?”

Betty nodded. ‘Yep!”

Betty didn’t remember what specifically they were planning to lie about. At that time, all she cared about was the meat on the table that was disappearing fast.

She didn’t have the mind to pay attention to what they were saying.

All the more she didn’t keep what they said in mind.

She only told Diana about it because she felt embarrassed about not remembering a single thing during her trip to send Sean off. That was what drove her to eagerly tell Diana about whatever she managed to remember.

Julian and Oliver…

In Diana’s impression, those two men didn’t share a good relationship. In fact, they didn’t share much of a relationship at all.

Yet, they were working together to lie to someone.

Who would they lie to?

Were things at the training squad worse than she imagined?

Were Julian and Oliver in cahoots to lie to her and pretend that everything was well with Sean, to stop her from banning Sean from the squad or bringing Sean home?

Diana’s heart ached tremendously.

She finally gave in to the strong urge to rush upstairs, and pulled the sheets off Julian’s body.

“Wake up!” she yelled.

The mother-daughter pair stood by the bed and glared angrily at Julian.

Julian rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Betty, why are you up so early today?”

Before Betty could speak, Diana interrupted their conversation. “Julian, I’m asking you. What exactly is going on with Sean? Why are you working with Oliver to lie to me?”

‘Yes!” Betty said self-righteously, transforming from an adorable doll to a loudhailer. “Daddy, quick! Tell us! What exactly are you and Mr. Channing lying to Mommy about?”

Julian was utterly confused by their accusations.

He didn’t have enough sleep, and now, his brain was getting hazier with the questions the mother- daughter pair was throwing at him.

He sat up. “What did I do?” How did he end up lying to Diana with Oliver?

Diana saw Julian still putting on an act, and was on the verge of angry tears.

Her eyes turned red with indignation, and it made Julian’s chest tighten.

He stood up, and pulled Diana into his embrace.

He rubbed her shoulders. “What’s wrong? Don’t cry, please don’t cry.” What he feared most was Diana’s tears. Seeing them was more painful than piercing his fingers with needles.

It was so early in the morning, yet Betty was already seeing Mommy getting upset and Daddy getting even more upset than Mommy; it made her upset, too.

She quickly struggled to squeeze in between the two adults, who were locked in an embrace.

Julian had to carry Betty up with one arm, but his effort was met with cold looks from both ladies, as if he had done something unforgivable.

“I heard it myself,” Betty said with all seriousness. ‘You and Mr. Channing are going to lie to someone.”

Julian thought that Betty wouldn’t care about anything she heard, and would forget about it immediately. He didn’t expect this mine to blow up.

“I’m not lying to your mommy. Wait, I’m also not the one lying,” Julian said, deciding to come clean to avoid digging a deeper hole for himself.

“Honey.”

His eyes were dark and deep.

From afar, it made one think about a tunnel in the forest. A wide and endless tunnel.

But up close, there was warmth in his eyes.
