Chapter 990

Now, Julian seemed like a child who had done something wrong. His thoughts were a mess, and he was unable to understand where Diana’s sadness was coming from.

“In our children’s hearts, you want to replace me, their dad. Shouldn’t I be the sad one?”

Seeing his slightly hunched and nervous appearance and his increasingly soothing tone, Diana’s heart suddenly softened. It was like being brushed by a feather, a gentle touch.

She lowered her head. She acknowledged his words, like a child admitting her mistake. “I won’t cry.”

She had such a good boyfriend. In moments when she was being difficult, when she was stubbornly trying to take everything on herself, thinking she could handle and balance everything, he always offered her the greatest patience.
