Chapter 1253

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1253 As Julian drove to drop Sean off, he couldn’t help but feel regretful.

He should have suggested Diana postpone her checkup by a day, so he could be with her.

Sometimes, waiting a long time in the hospital could give rise to leg and back pains. He could have bought her water and chocolate if he had been there. He could even have massaged her legs.

Glancing at his well-behaved son and daughter sitting in the car, however, he quickly reprimanded himself.

Diana and Nina were perfectly capable of handling the checkup on their own. His responsibility today was to settle his son’s affairs. Even being a doting husband had its own timing. He couldn’t be absent-

minded on the day he was bidding farewell to his son. i Sean was exceptionally intelligent. If he noticed that Julian’s mind was elsewhere, he might start worrying for no reason.

“We’re almost there,” Julian said, pushing thoughts of Diana from his mind. He turned his attention to the road, and began discussing things Sean needed to be aware of when he joined the training squad.

Sean looked at Julian and said, “You and Mommy don’t need to worry so much.

Even if I share a dorm with others and don’t get along with them, it doesn’t matter. In any place or social setting, personal ability is what matters most.

“As long as you excel, people will naturally come to talk to you. They also won’t dare to look down on you because of your age or size. But if you’re not outstanding, it doesn’t matter if you know many people or how good you are to others. You can still be considered disposable trash in their eyes.”

Julian was shocked by Sean’s words. How did the boy come up with such profound thoughts at such a young age?

However, it was Julian, not Diana, sitting with Sean right now. He was far morerational than Diana, and quickly pulled himself together.

“Sorry, I said too much,” Julian said, reaching out to hold Sean’s small hand as he saw the tension on the boy’s face. ” Sean, you’re already very intelligent.

You’re not an ordinary child. Whatever you say or do, there’s always a reason behind it. Starting today, Daddy will treat you as a young adult.

“But this also means that the expectations placed on you would be higher, and that’s the price for entering the training squad. Everyone around you will havehigher expectations and demands from the moment you step in. Are you really ready for this?”

Sean liked the way the conversation was going. It made him feel like he had control over his own life. For the first time with Julian, he felt the towering presence of a mountain guiding him forward.

His cool little face broke into a smile. “Don’t worry, Daddy. I’m ready.”

He needed to spread his own wings in the world. He had confidence that he could quickly improve himself in the training squad.

However, reality had a way of being different from one’s expectations. When they reached the accommodation, they realized that the living conditions were even more basic than what was depicted in the brochures.

The place they were assigned to was worse than where Julian and the others had stayed in their early days. The room was plain, with only four bare bunk beds and a small shared closet with two doors.

Julian noticed something when he opened the closet.

Although it was meant for three people, Sean’s clothes were the only ones inside. In this place, even closet usage had been distinguished between the strong and the weak.

Only the strong could use it, and the weak…

They had to fold and store their clothes under the bed, alongside washbasins and toothpaste.

This room didn’t even have a sink!
