Chapter 839
She couldn't possibly betray Julian.
In fact, even now, despite being deeply hypnotized, she began having feelings for Julian the moment she laid eyes
on him.
He could tell from the uneasy and guilty look in her eyes each time she mentioned Julian.
An unwillingness to admit defeat sprang in Simon’s heart, drowning him and his rationale like tidal waves.

Downstairs in the studio, Sean was still waiting for Julian's answer.
Ever since the incident with Zachary, Sean wasn't as confident as he used to be.
On the surface, he still retained his cool kid aura.
He was small, but he had loved ones he wanted to protect.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFor the sake of Mommy and Betty, he was willing to be rebuked by Julian.
Yet this man, who was a lot taller than him, didn't look displeased with him.
He even crouched down low and caressed Sean's head tenderly.
He looked at him with a sympathetic gaze and asked, "Sean, where's your mommy?"
At that moment, Cecilia could feel a shift in the aura Julian was exuding.
It felt as if there were undercurrents brewing in the air, on the verge of tearing the place apart at the slightest
trigger.
However, Sean wasn't afraid.
He continued looking at Julian, thinking that things were finally looking up. He pulled Julian's sleeve gently and said,"
Mommy's at the staircase landing talking to Uncle Simon. Mr. Julian, when can we do the DNA test again?"
Julian glanced up toward the second floor. "I'll discuss that with your mommy."
He turned around and said to Cecilia, "It’s not convenient for me to accompany you shopping today. When I'm free
next time, I’ll pick you up for another date."
Cecilia felt a little lost over the sudden changes.
She wanted to ask Julian if anything had changed because of the child.
However, his icy face frightened her into silence.
When she calmed down and thought things through, she recalled that he said he would pick her up from her place
next time.
That meant he was willing to continue seeing her.
Given Julian's style of doing things, the little boy surely had nothing to do with him.
This boy...
Cecilia glanced at Diana's shadow flitting around upstairs, and suddenly regretted coming here for a custom-made
dress. She also regretted doing business with a schemer who would stoop so low and use her children for her own
benefit.

Julian nodded, and sent her to the door like a gentleman. Then, he carried Sean and walked upstairs in huge strides.
Diana was still waiting for Simon to speak, hoping that he would give her at least some information regarding Sean
and Betty's biological father.
The two of them stood on the staircase landing, stuck in a standstill, gazes locked.
There was an inexplicable air of tension between them.
Julian settled Sean in the room so that he would not hear them fighting. He turned to Diana with a sneer. "Here you
are, flirting with another man while making your child find me and lie to me. Good on you, Diana."
Diana was confused.
Wasn't Julian behaving normally just now?
Why did he suddenly flare up at her?
Where was Ms. Jarvis?
She instinctively looked around for Cecilia, but Julian suddenly pulled her before she could do so.
At that instant, she lost her balance and fell down the stairs.
