Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Betty missed Mommy when she was with Daddy. Now that she had seen Mommy, she missed Daddy.

She wanted to be with both of them forever.

She didn’t like that they, as a family, had to live apart from each other. It wasn’t as if their house wasn’t big enough for all of them to stay together. If Mommy wanted to be with Godmother, couldn’t they all stay under one roof?

Why must Daddy and Mommy live separately from each other?

“Where is he?” Diana asked Betty, agitated. “Will he come find us later?”

Betty felt put in a spot. Daddy didn’t even want to bring her to the apartment.

“Hush.” Betty shook her head, and exposed Julian without any hesitation. “Daddy didn’t let me tell you that he was the one who drove me here, so I guess he won’t come in.”

But…

“Don’t worry.” Betty broke into a sweet smile. “I’ve already asked Godmother to help ask Daddy to stay.”

That was exactly what she whispered into Nina’s ears.

No wonder Nina and Vans weren’t around anymore.

Diana looked outward. Julian doted on his daughter so much. He would surely agree to come over and see her. Even Nina and Vans were there to persuade him.
