Chapter 1083

Betty thought about it, then asked, "if Daddy didn't send me, who would?”

She wanted Daddy to send her there. She wanted to stay with Daddy.

Julian had been busy working in his study recently, and it was usually the nanny who took care of Betty at home.

What Julian said inevitably made Betty indignant.

Upon seeing his daughter's crystal clear eyes, Julian suddenly felt embarrassed to speak. "I didn't mean that."

"Who is it, then?" Betty urged. She wanted to see Mommy and Sean soon.

"Well... Daddy's still the one who will send you. You just can't tell Mommy that it's Daddy who sent you." Julian looked

at her chubby cheeks. "Do you understand?"

Betty nodded. "I do!"

Her voice was bright and crisp. As she went on, however, her following words were a slap to Julian's face.

"Daddy wants me to lie. Adults always tell us not to lie, but Daddy..." Betty paused for a moment, trying to find the

right words to say. "Daddy's forcing me to lie."

Julian said exasperatedly, "I'm not forcing you."

He, an adult, was unable to refute the claims of a two-year- old.

Betty looked into his eyes, and said, "Then I'll tell Mommy you sent me to her, okay?"

"Don’t!” Julian blurted out in a panic. "If you do that, I won’t send you to her."

Betty's face fell. "You're forcing me now..."

This was clearly a case of an adult teaching a child to lie...

Julian was suddenly scared of her.

The older children got, the smarter they became.

He used to think that Sean was the smart one. Now, though, he found Betty highly intelligent. Each of them was

capable of astonishing him.

In fact, when he fought with Diana before, he didn’t dare to hug Sean, whom he thought was the smartest of the

twins. Instead, he chose Betty, who was easier to coax.

Julian couldn't imagine what life would be like if the twins and Diana weren't by his side. Most probably, he would go

mad missing them.

Having Betty by his side comforted him greatly. And yet, the little girl was becoming cheekier by the day.

Julian blushed to hear Betty’s words, and he was too embarrassed to say anything more. Thankfully, Betty was in a

good mood and didn't harp on Julian forcing her to lie.

Throughout the entire journey, she chattered on incessantly about her new Barbie doll. She brought along a dress

she made for the doll, so she could show it to Mommy.

She was still so young, but she was already adept at handicrafts. She must have inherited that skill from Diana.

Julian could always find traces of Diana in Betty.

Genes and inheritance were such a mystery!

Julian hugged Betty tight. He swore to himself that he would stand before Diana as a single man, and reunite the

entire family within a month tops!

"Mr. Fulcher, we’re here.” The driver couldn’t bear to interrupt the heartwarming moment between the father and

daughter. He and only spoke when he arrived at the entrance of the district.

A long time ago, Julian once rented an apartment at this estate for Kayla. Nina had been staying here over the past

three years as Vans's neighbor. She never moved out.

Back then, Julian and Kayla were staying right below Nina's unit. He would frequently hang around in the balcony,

just to catch a glimpse of Diana.

Memories flashed past his mind as mixed feelings filled his heart. The more he reminisced, the greater his guilt

toward Diana.

He eventually chose not to step out of the car.

"Betty," he said, "you’re the bravest and best little girl ever. You head in and look for Mommy yourself while I watch

from the car, okay?"
