Diana had gradually learned to let go.
Plus, with the recent audit over the past week, she realized that even after repaying Mr. Whatever’s
investment, she could still afford the down payment on Oliver’s house.
“I bought it on mortgage, and I’ll have to make monthly payments.”
Fortunately, the house was in a slightly less expensive area. Aside from the down payment, the
monthly mortgage payments weren’t too burdensome.
Diana looked at Sean, and continued, “I don’t have to cover Sean’s tuition fees. Julian may not be great
to me, but he’s good to the children.”
She knew Sean harbored some resentment towards Julian at the moment. So, she wanted to say
some positive things about Julian in front of Sean.
The children had their own thoughts, and she had her own. She couldn’t let her relationship problems
affect her children’s expectations of their father.
However, Sean didn’t say anything in response. He silently went into the bathroom to run the bathwater
himself. The sound of rushing water echoed in the bathroom.
Diana immediately realized what had happened, and rushed towards the bathroom. She slapped her
forehead in
frustration, and said, “We can’t take a bath today.”
Sean looked puzzled. “Why not?”
Diana felt a bit embarrassed as she explained, “Yesterday, I didn’t think to remove the flower stems
when I drained the water, and they clogged the drain—”
“It’s already fixed,” Vans interrupted Diana, unable to resist chiming in. “Try it if you don’t believe me.”
Diana looked at him in astonishment. “It’s fixed? Did Nina ask you to fix it while I was away?”
She couldn’t believe that the issue had been resolved so quickly. In a big city, workers were in high
demand. Usually, they needed to make an appointment for a visit.
Vans remembered Julian’s instructions, and kept the secret that Julian had arranged for the repair. He
simply nodded reluctantly and said, “Yeah.”
Unfortunately, Vans was not a good liar.
Diana, who now had her memories back, stared at Vans intensely before saying calmly, “Go check on
Nina.”
Feeling like he had just been caught, Vans snapped out of it and replied, “You take care of the kids
first.”
Whenever he lied, he couldn’t help but feel guilty.
Diana could almost guess that Vans was home at this time of the day, because he hadn’t gone to work
at the hospital today.
When they had talked about buying flowers to visit the cemetery and he had claimed he needed to
work, it was very likely that he had lied to them.
The sound of running water continued to echo in the bathroom. Diana’s thoughts drifted, and it wasn’t
until Sean tugged at her that she snapped out of it.
“Mommy, what are you thinking about? Betty said she doesn’t want a bath anymore. She just wants a
shower.”
“Alright,” Diana quickly responded. “Sean, you can go out first. I’ll help Betty wash up.”
Betty seemed exhausted. After her shower, she quickly climbed into bed and fell asleep.
Now, only Diana and Sean were left in the bathroom. She watched her son, whose cheeks had turned
slightly red due to the warmth of the bathroom.
“I’ll step outside, okay? I’ll be right by the door. If you need anything, just call for me.”
Sean nodded. Then, he stepped into the tub. Once the top of the water was filled with bubbles, he
called out, “Mommy.”
Diana thought something might be wrong, and hurriedly entered. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” he replied. With a smile, he handed Diana a washcloth and said, My back is a bit itchy.”
When Sean lived with Julian, Julian would sometimes wash his back for him. At this moment, Sean
suddenly missed those simple father-son bonding moments.
“I lied.”
“Hmm?”
“Today, I said it’s okay not to have a daddy. I lied,” Sean admitted. He felt like something was missing
without his father.
“Would you like to call Daddy?” Diana asked.
Sean looked up, and asked Diana, “Is that okay, Mommy?”
