Chapter 493

Everyone burst into laughter in an instant.

“It’s not too late to say it now,” chuckled Leo.

“Besides, you and Julian are both talented and good-looking. You guys would make a lovely couple!

You two really have to catch up with each other tonight. Come on, Julian. You’ll take the main seat.

Elaine, you sit on the right of Julian; Ed’s on the left. You guys have to keep Julian entertained tonight!”

Elaine continued to chuckle as she said, “Don’t worry. As long as Julian doesn’t mind it, I can accompany him all night.”

Since everyone understood what Elaine was trying to imply, they roared with laughter again.

Leaning closer to Julian, Elaine smiled. She did a background check on him and knew that he was still single.

And that was why she dressed herself up for she was determined to get him kneeling at her feet tonight.

However, Julian made a face in response. He knew Elaine quite well.

Back in the day, Matthew suffered a lot because of her.

“I’m sorry, but my daughter is going to sit beside me,” Julian answered.

Upon hearing that, Elaine’s expression changed slightly. Because of her beauty, no men had ever rejected her before.

Besides, she was so passionate and had dressed herself up tonight. She didn’t expect Julian to reject her so directly.

However, in just an instant, her smile quickly recovered. “That’s okay. She can sit on my lap during dinner. Little cutie pie, do you mind if I hold you?”

As she was saying that, she tried to reach out again to hold Nicole.

Immediately, Nicole dodged away. She didn’t want Elaine to touch her at all.

Elaine couldn’t help but felt embarrassed. “Haha. Your daughter is really shy, Julian. I think she usually only allows you to hold her, right?”

Just when Julian was about to say something, Nicole jumped off from his embrace suddenly.

Under everyone’s gaze, Nicole went straight to Matthew and hugged his leg in excitement.

“Hug me, Uncle Larson!”

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Didn’t Julian just say that his daughter is very shy and doesn’t like others to hold her? Why is she darting toward Matthew in just a blink of an eye?

Could it be that they are very familiar with each other?

With a soft chuckle, Matthew held Nicole up. “Have you been behaving yourself recently, Nicole?”

Julian was surrounded by the crowd and so he didn’t see Matthew earlier.

Now that he had seen him, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked over with a smile.

“Behaving? She’s very naughty! If you don’t listen to me, I’m not going to let you visit Uncle Larson anymore!”

Julian laughed.

Grabbing Matthew’s arm pitifully, Nicole whined, “Uncle Larson, will you let me come play at your house?”

With a laugh, Matthew said, “Of course, I would want you to visit me. Auntie Cunningham was talking about you not too long ago.”

Instantly, Nicole was overjoyed. As she made a face at Julian, she grabbed tightly onto Matthew’s neck.

“Uncle Larson is the best! Yay! I can go swimming again.”

The crowd was stunned by the situation. No one knew what was happening right now.

Leo couldn’t help but move closer. “President Davis, w-what is your relationship with Matthew?”

Giving him a side glance, Julian snorted, “Seems like our class monitor is quite forgetful! Don’t you remember the Powerful Trio from back in the days? Me, Matthew, and Ed. The three of us are very close.”

Leo and the others were startled as they exchanged glances in embarrassment.

To be honest, the three of them were ordinary students in school back then.

Their results and family backgrounds were average and they didn’t even know how to flatter the others.

There was no way that they would have joined Leo’s squad.

Back then, the three of them were essentially transparent.

Usually, these types of people were the ones who would be forgotten after graduation.

It was only through Ed’s parents that Leo found out about Julian.

He honestly didn’t know that Matthew had such a good relationship with Julian.

Otherwise, how would he have dared to mock Matthew like that?
