Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 921

Chapter 921

Doreen could feel how cold and distant Sean was. She almost burst into tears as she touched the bandage wrapped around her head.

Sean hated seeing her act like that.

She liked bullying her classmates and did that often. She would always steal their snacks but be the first to cry when the teacher came back.

If she hadn't injured her head because of this incident, Sean would never apologize to her. He would take it as punishment for her bullying his classmates and for scratching Betty's face.

Seeing Doreen on the verge of tears, Kiki hurried to console her.

Just as Julian was hesitating whether to scold Sean for fear that he might end up really breaking the little boy’s heart, the principal appeared.

"Mr. Fulcher, please come over with Ms. Winnington."

She first sent Sean back to the classroom, then returned to her office and asked them, "Has Sean apologized to Doreen?”

"Yes, he has.”

"It's inevitable for children to fight among themselves. As long as they take the initiative to admit their mistake and make up with each other, we as teachers wouldn't interfere too much," she said.

Otherwise, the children might lose the ability to independently solve problems with time. This was aligned with how international kindergartens cultivated independent thought in their children.

Diana agreed with the philosophy very much. "Thank you for your understanding and for not being prejudiced against Sean because of what he did to his classmate."

The principal smiled. "I'm a teacher, so I must be able to understand children. I can’t be biased just because of a minor conflict between them. If I did that, I wouldn't be serving as a model for them. I'd be leading them astray instead."

Diana understood where the principal was coming from, and felt relieved. It made her feel even more certain that choosing this kindergarten was the right decision.

The principal pushed her glasses up her nose bridge, and looked at Julian. "But... Are you two fighting?"

A strong parent-child relationship and a positive home environment were things that the principal prioritized very much. She could sense that something was wrong the moment both of them entered her office, completely ignoring each other.

"No," Diana said. She was worried the principal might kick Sean out of the kindergarten because of that reason, and threw herself into Julian's arms without a second thought.

She added quickly, "Julian, quick. Tell her that we were just putting up an act to appease Doreen’s mother.”

With Diana in his arms, Julian's fingers went stiff. 'Yes, that's right."

He composed himself quickly, and seized the chance to wrap her in his arms. After three long years, he could finally experience the sensation he could only savor in his dreams.

She saw Diana whispering to Julian and thought she must have misunderstood them. She no longer harped about it and instead turned her attention to Sean.

"He covered up the surveillance camera before he did what he did," she went on.

However, he forgot that the surveillance camera filmed his huge face when he covered it up.

"I asked him why he thought of doing that, and he said that he was inspired by the bedtime story his daddy often told him," the principal said firmly. "Reading bedtime stories is a good habit, but I hope you'll pay attention to influencing him positively and not use his intelligence to do anything bad."

Julian was stunned. He didn't expect his bedtime story to affect Sean so much.

The principal saw the shock on Julian’s face and couldn’t help but tease him. "Parents are their children's first teacher. Mr. Fulcher, there's a lot you have to learn as a father."

"I see,” Julian said.

After he got the clues about Diana's amnesia, he would have to stop doing something so ridiculous in front of the children —lest Sean get influenced and suffer in his love life.

Diana wasn't in a rush to leave, even after the principal was done. Instead, she let Julian leave first. She continued

sitting on the chair, clearly intent on talking further with the principal.
