Chapter 990
Now, Julian seemed like a child who had done something wrong. His thoughts were a mess, and he was unable to
understand where Diana's sadness was coming from.
"In our children's hearts, you want to replace me, their dad. Shouldn't I be the sad one?"
Julian quickly took Betty in his arms. Like coaxing a child, he used a tissue to gently wipe Diana's face. He comforted
her softly, "Shh. Don't cry. Be good. Let me wipe away those tears, okay?"
Seeing his slightly hunched and nervous appearance and his increasingly soothing tone, Diana's heart suddenly
softened. It was like being brushed by a feather, a gentle touch.
She lowered her head. She acknowledged his words, like a child admitting her mistake. "I won't cry."
She had such a good boyfriend. In moments when she was being difficult, when she was stubbornly trying to take
everything on herself, thinking she could handle and balance everything, he always offered her the greatest
patience.

It wasn't about not relying on others.
It was about maintaining independence while relying on someone.
Just like now.
Julian holding the child allowed her to have time to process her emotions. The child could receive great care, while
she could improve herself.
She had a boyfriend, yet she didn't confide or rely on him.
Wasn't she a fool for not doing so?
Diana laughed inwardly at herself.
After a bit of self-reassurance, she kissed Betty's cheek.
Then she suddenly extended her arms, embracing Julian tightly. "Thank you."
Thanking him for always being there when she needed him, for being by her side.
Thanking him for never dwelling on her mistakes, and for being so understanding.
Caught off guard by her embrace, Julian felt a bit flustered. He hadn't done anything yet, so why was Diana
suddenly being so kind to him?
Could it be that their son was right?
Women, perhaps, needed to be appeased and comforted?
It seemed his performance as a boyfriend needed improvement. His mind wasn't even as good as a child's. No
wonder Diana wasn't willing to remarry him. Even he wouldn’t want to!
Though neither of them said or did much, an unspoken, heartwarming sensation enveloped them at that instant.
Even Betty could sense this subtle feeling of happiness, and giggled.
"I like seeing Daddy and Mommy together."
It was such a simple statement.
Taking the opportunity, Julian proposed to Diana, "How about from now on, whenever I return from the Jarvises, I
take care of Simon together with you?"
This proposal made Diana a bit uncertain. After some thought, she realized that as a mother, she had to consider

Julian of being stubborn while not seeing her own stubbornness.
Besides...
Wasn't he really changing?
So, she needed to change as well.
"Alright." She looked at Julian's hopeful expression, feeling for the first time that he was truly a very good family
man.
Still, he needed someone to remove his thorns. Only then would he put away his cold exterior.
Fortunately, she didn't need to remove the thorns to see his gentle side. Now, she was starting to look forward to
recovering her memories.
However...
Glancing at Julian, Diana thought about Simon, who was still in the room on the first floor. She held back from
mentioning finding Shiloh to make the medicine.
Julian didn't bring it up, either.
After soothing Betty to sleep, he went to Simon's room with Diana.
The massage session had just ended.
Diana hurried forward, wanting to remove the massage device. However, Julian volunteered, "I'll do it."
