Chapter 1124
Under these circumstances, Julian really shouldn’t leave.
But Cecilia was crying so hard over the phone, Julian was worried her condition might relapse. That would render all
his hard work over the past few days useless.
"Diana," he said, trying to discuss things with her, yet not answering her directly.
Diana didn’t care for it. She stared at him, clearly waiting for a clear answer.
"All of you are very important to me," Julian said, knowing that the twins weren't the only ones hurt and needed
comfort.
Diana needed comforting, too.
He knew exactly how important the twins were to her.
Until now, she didn’t dare to look at the mark she left on his face from the slap.
Rather than saying she was trying to make things difficult for Julian, it was more accurate to say that Diana was
clinging to him as the only lifeline that could help her regain her sanity.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen it was needed, she could ask him to pay closer attention to the kids. She could then stand behind him and
give herself time to adjust.
She was scared of facing Sean. Rather than abating, her guilt was getting stronger with time.
"But now, things with Cecilia are important for me to deal with, too," Julian said. "I have to solve the problem there
before I can return and focus on being with all of you."
"Must you go?"
"I must.”
Diana took a deep breath. "Do you love me?"
No one there expected to hear that question from Diana.
Even Julian was stunned.
He glanced quickly at the twins and back at Diana before saying, "I do."
His love was firm and unyielding.
His answer was determined and certain.
Diana nodded.
She was glad that Julian's reply didn't disappoint her and the twins.
Since Sean wasn't trusting of Julian, she would help Sean build that trust.
Diana whispered, "Since you love me, I'll love you too."
She bravely declared her feelings for Julian, in hopes that it would drive away the deep insecurities Sean had been
feeling recently.
She also hoped that...
It was a chance for redemption for herself. She looked at Julian, and said, "I'll go with you."
She added pleadingly, "Can I?"
Julian didn’t expect Diana to raise such a request. At that moment, he could sense the vulnerability in her eyes. He
could almost understand what Diana was feeling.
If he left, she didn't have the courage to stay behind and face the twins all by herself.
Julian turned to look at the twins, and patiently asked for their permission. "Mommy and I will head out to do
something important. Can you stay at home with your godmother and Mr. Stanley?"
Sean nodded first. "Yes, we can."

She even grabbed Sean's hand, refusing to leave his side. When she saw him nod, she nodded as well. "Sure."
Julian smiled, crouched, and held the twins’ hands. He kissed the back of each of their hands, then turned to give
Diana a hug.
"Let's go," he said.
The two of them left.
The driver had been waiting for them downstairs. The moment he saw them appear, he brisk-walked to the door
and opened it forthem.
Julian didn't immediately bring Diana into the car. Instead, he stood outside and looked at her tenderly, asking in a
low voice, "Do you really want to come with me?"
'Yes.''
"But Cecilia..."
Diana shook her head. "It's alright, Julian."
Her voice was tender, pleading, and carried a trace of vulnerability.
"Please, let me come with you."
