Chapter 1104
"Of course."
Sean seldom made requests of Diana. So when he did, she was more than willing to oblige.
But...
When it came time to actually dial the number, Diana hesitated again.
What should she say when she called Julian?
Should she start with a simple "Hello," or maybe "Long time no see," or "Hey, it's Diana"?
Or perhaps, apologize for the interruption?
As she pondered all these, the phone was already ringing.
In the end, Diana decided not to say anything at all and let Sean do the talking.
"You can say whatever you want once the call is answered," she told him.
Sean nodded, but the phone continued to ring with no response from the other end.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe phone rang, and the name on the screen told him that it was Diana calling.
Julian had already sent Noel to Cecilia, and he watched as they began talking. Now, Julian had left the Jarvis family's
residence.
Noel and Cecilia clearly had feelings for each other. As long as Cecilia personally acknowledged her feelings for
him, there was no way Noel wouldn't believe that she liked him.
Julian smiled.
Noel and Cecilia were about to become a couple, and the annulment of his engagement was practically a done
deal.
His phone continued vibrating, and Diana's name flashed on the screen.
Julian stared at the phone that had been ringing incessantly. At this moment, all his suppressed emotions and
feelings burst forth.
This was great.
Diana was really waiting for him! She had never given up on him.
Julian tightened his grip on the phone, and made up his mind to go see her right away. He wanted to give her a
surprise.
The call was disconnected.
Diana's expression turned somewhat awkward, and she cautiously glanced at Sean. "I'm sure your daddy didn’t do
it on purpose."
As she spoke, she immediately dialed the number again.
Diana anxiously stared at her phone, silently praying that Julian would answer quickly. No matter what adults might
be going through, they shouldn't hurt a child's heart.
The phone continued to produce the empty sound of beeping. Then, the beeping disappeared abruptly, replaced by
a heart-wrenching silence emanating in the bathroom.
Sean's eyes welled up with tears. The fluffy white bubbles nearly covered his small body as he turned away from
Diana.
"Mommy, please leave," he said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe wanted some time alone.
Diana wanted to comfort him, but didn't know how to console him in this situation. So, she complied with Sean's
request and stepped out.
As she reached the door and opened the glass door, she heard Sean's solemn voice ask, "If Betty wants to talk to
Daddy, will he also refuse to answer her calls like he did with me?"
Diana was about to reply, but Sean answered his own question. "No. He definitely wouldn't do the same."
Diana had an urge to disagree. Upon seeing Sean curl up into a tiny ball, she sighed. She chose to remain silent,
and gently closed the bathroom door behind him.
Her hands were still covered in soap bubbles from the bathroom. She touched them lightly and they popped
instantly, just like her own heart.
What was once a whole heart filled with anticipation and longing had slowly turned into shattered fragments,
spreading through her body like a painful ache.
Her heart broke, but it wasn't for herself.
It was for Sean.
A child shouldn't be treated this way!
Her sorrow gradually turned into anger. She glanced towards the bathroom where the glass door was covered in
condensation, isolating all sounds between her and Sean.
