Chapter 1255
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Julianâs Stand-In Wife chapter 1255 Julian could see that Sean was trying hard not to panic or be afraid. He decided to respect Seanâs decision, but he couldnât bear to see his usually cool and confident son looking so small and vulnerable at this moment.
Julian turned away and stopped looking at him.
Finally, Sean stood back on his feet. Much to Julianâs surprise, there was no sign of defeat in his eyes. In fact, there was a strange triumphant glint in Seanâs eyes.
âDaddy, letâs go.â
They had made arrangements with Oliver.
Since Oliver couldnât come to the dorm as the person in charge, the four of them would go out for a meal together. Julian had never imagined that he would sit at the same table with Oliver and interact peacefully with the man.
Of course, the first thing he did upon meeting Oliver was to ask about Oliverâs wife, deliberately avoiding any mention of Diana, while subtly asserting that he was Dianaâs husband with every sentence.
Julianâs cautiousness amused Oliver, but beneath his smile, there was a hint of sadness.
Lately, Fanny had been asking relentlessly about what his father had done back then. It got so bad, he didnât know how to deal with it.
During the meal, Oliver assured Julian that while he couldnât show favoritism, he would ensure Seanâs safety.
His assurance gave Julian some peace of mind. Julian allowed the two kids to continue eating in the private room by themselves, and stepped out of the room with Oliver, 1 Click.
Both of them lit their cigarettes. The flames illuminated their sharp features for a moment.
Their handsome features and dominating presence attracted quite a few glances.
Julian led Oliver to a corner before saying, âItâs not just about his safety. Can you promise that Sean wonât get hurt?â
As a father, hearing someone say that he could only guarantee Seanâs survival was tormenting in itself.
Sean would undoubtedly go through a tough time here, but this child had no intention of compromising. He was determined to stay here. âThatâs not possible,â
Oliver said, taking a deep breath and extinguishing his cigarette, tossing it into an iron trash bin.
The smell of smoke made Julian uncomfortable. He hadnât smoked in a long time, not since he remarried Diana. After all, there were kids at home. And now, Diana was pregnant.
Taking up smoking again all of a sudden made him feel a heavy tightness in his chest.
But Sean refuses to leave.â
Julian was known for his decisiveness in the business world. Many, including Oliver, had been trying to find vulnerabilities in the Fulcher family, hoping to replace the mighty Fulchers. But Julian always intercepted their efforts, turning crises into opportunities.
He was the man who appeared invincible in the eyes of others. Yet now, for his son, h felt a helplessness he had never experienced before. âThen let him stay,â Oliver suggested. âLet him go through this. He will naturally want to return home when he canât take it anymore. At that time, Iâll send himback immediately.
IVIt seemed like the only option. Julian decided not to smoke and extinguished his cigarette, tossing it into the trash bin.
He couldnât resist asking Oliver, âYou donât seem very used to smoking, either. Have you stopped for a while?â
Oliver replied, âYeah, Iâve been busy.â
Despite his words, it wasnât as if he was so busy that he didnât have time to smoke. It was more like he had reduced his smoking frequency for a certain someone, and eventually quit altogether.
A genuine smile spread on Julianâs lips. âIt seems youâve found the one you truly belong to.â
Oliver retorted, âI found her a long time ago. Diana is the one I belong to.â
