Chapter 753
Diana could freely admit to herself that she would never have such a mindset. She wondered if Sean inherited his
father's personality, but when she saw her own plump figure weighing over a hundred and fifty pounds in the
mirror, she stopped thinking about it.
Simon had said that her past was very painful, so she decided not to try hard to remember. Anyway, it would give
her a major headache every time she made an effort. Over time, it no longer mattered who the father of her
children was.
"Simon," Diana said as she put the call on speaker. There was a smile on her lips as she continued, "Could you come
over?"
On the other end, she could hear hurried footsteps when the man heard the cries.
"Is Betty crying? Don't cry, Betty! I'm coming right away! I'll make everything that makes you sad go away, okay?"

helped her with the kids, so they were very dependent on him.
Betty's eyes widened and lit up as soon as she heard Simon's voice. She wiped away her tears and smiled before
saying, "Okay, Uncle Simon! Betty won't cry anymore! Betty will wait for you!"
When Sean heard this, a hint of a smile slowly appeared on his usually indifferent face.
Diana couldn't help but recall her earlier thoughts when she saw them like this.
After the children had fallen asleep in the afternoon, she gathered her courage and brought up the topic to Simon.
"Simon, I want to marry you."
Simon was sitting down when she said that, and a flicker of guilt flashed through his eyes at her words. However,
his expression soon smoothened out and turned serious.
"You want to marry me?"
"Yes," Diana said. "The children's second birthday has already passed, and they can start attending kindergarten
when they are two and a half years old."
Seeing that only three months were left until that day, she had to get them registered in the household registration
system.
"If we get married, I can register them into the system."
Otherwise, according to the country's existing laws, a single woman like her wouldn't be able to complete the task
of registering her children in the household registration system.
Moreover...
The children needed a father-they needed a complete family. She heard children talk about their parents in
kindergarten, and she was afraid Betty and Sean would be uncomfortable when the topic was brought up.
Just the thought of that scene made Diana's heart ache terribly. For the past three years, Simon was the one who
named her, the person who took her in, helped her open a clothing store, and even helped her establish a small
clothing brand.

And later on...
He was the one who helped her care for the children and provided money to hire a nanny and a maternity nurse.
Even though she had paid back all the money later on, it seemed no one in this world was more suitable for her to
marry than him.
She shamelessly said, "Besides, you don't mind that I'm like this."
Throughout these years, no matter how overweight she became, he always said she looked good. He never said
anything bad about her, and was also good to her children.
After thinking it through, she concluded, "You're the best choice for marriage.’
Upon hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Simon's lips. A hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, something she had
never seen from him before.
After a while, his expression returned to normal when he raised his head." So, you want to marry me so you can
register your children into the system and because you think I'm the best candidate? Not because you love me?"
In that instant, Diana caught a glimpse of the hurt in his eyes.
She was somewhat surprised by his reaction. "Simon, I'm so overweight. My body hasn't recovered since giving
birth, and I'm a single parent with amnesia and two children to care for. Do you really want to marry me?’
