Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1082

Julian felt as if a bird had flown past him, blowing a slight breeze on his face.

He looked up. The coldness in his eyes melted into tenderness.

Julian finally closed his laptop, and reached his hands out to his daughter. “Come here for a hug with Daddy.”

“No!” Betty wasn’t about to be placated by Julian into accepting everything with just a few words of comfort. “You promised you’d take me to see Mommy and Sean.”

Betty’s voice was laced with indignation. She put out her fingers, and said to Julian, “It’s been three days. Oh, wait.”

She put down three fingers, and counted again before putting out four fingers.

“It’s been four days, and you haven’t told me when you’re going to take me to them!”

Betty called them so many times in a day, since video calling Mommy was the only thing she could do.

Sean wasn’t willing to be in the video call. Each time she called out to him through the video, she could only hear his response. She couldn’t see his face at all.
