Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Julian was stunned, but he didn’t correct Doreen.

It was a scene Kiki had imagined for too long.

However, Julian never gave her a chance. It was good that she had Doreen, who was her chance at fulfilling her dream.

Betty, on the other hand, felt hurt.

Or rather, the moment she heard Doreen call Julian “Daddy”, her heart broke into many little pieces.

The daddy she had wanted for herself already belonged to someone else.

What was the point of her staying here?

She cried out loud. “Mommy, Mommy! I want Mommy!”

She missed Mommy, her brother, and Simon!

She wanted her mommy right now. “Boo hoo… I want Mommy!”

Beads of tears fell uncontrollably from Betty’s eyes, which were glistening with tears.

Julian suddenly felt his heart aching.

However, he continued suppressing the urge to wrap Betty in his arms and coax her. “Noel, call her mother.”

Since even her child wasn’t enough to make Diana stay and she stubbornly insisted on finding Simon, Julian couldn’t possibly continue being a fool by treating her and Simon’s child so well.
