Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Meanwhile, Betty was still awake.

Her eyes flew wide open the moment she heard about her brother crying.

She kept struggling to leave the room, looking as if she wanted to go and look for Sean.

Julian could tell what she was trying to do, but this time, he didn’t let her have her way.

Julian carried her back to the bed, not even bothering to read her a story. “Betty, it’s already past midnight. You must go back to sleep!”

He tucked her into the sheets, not taking no for an answer.

Before, Julian had never treated Betty like this. Although she was ill, she wasn’t completely ignorant or unfeeling.

Especially now, with how frightening Julian seemed.

Her eyes welled up with tears.

The sight of her tear-filled eyes made Julian recall what Mrs. Lay had said about Sean crying silently in his room.
