Chapter 1257

Julian’s Stand-In Wife chapter 1257 Seeing Julian’s thoughts drifting off into outer space, Oliver couldn’t help but groan miserably and say, “Why are your thoughts so bizarre right now?”

“Sorry,” Julian replied, his hands in his pockets.

Julian was dressed in a black shirt that highlighted his sculpted body, making him look irresistible to onlookers. Only Oliver knew how much of a troublemaker this man was right now.

Oliver even subconsciously didn’t want Julian to continue speaking, but Julian had already started, “I have a wife and children at home. I spend a lot of time with them. It sometimes makes my thoughts wander. You know, women and kids have a lot on their minds.”

Julian was once again indirectly boasting about his affection for his wife and children.

Oliver was utterly speechless about Julian’s behavior. He lowered his head and muttered, “I’ll probably have children eventually.”

A genuine smile gradually spread on Julian’s lips again. He had been waiting for Oliver to say those words. It was like receiving a promise from him, an indirect signal to Julian that Oliver no longer had any intentions regarding Diana. He had his own family to manage, and his own emotions to maintain.

This made Julian more confident about entrusting his son to Oliver.

After all, who could forget the unattainable first love they had first chased?

Oliver remained downcast while Julian’s mind was already racing, just like in the business world. He could grasp the subtlest hints and intentions of the other party and seize the opportunity.

Julian knew Oliver would certainly be especially concerned about Diana’s child.

He glanced toward the private room, where Sean and Betty were still eating quietly. They seemed to sense the pain of parting, as Betty was notably quieter than usual. Even Sean’s demeanor was more somber than usual.

Even though he hadn’t officially joined the team, he had already felt the harsh atmosphere of the training squad.

And there was the boy they had encountered earlier.

Julian’s heart tightened. He couldn’t help but feel that the boy they had encountered might be a threat to Sean. Upon closer inspection, everyone was essentially an adversary in a training squad. The boy’s hostility and his contempt for Sean were normal, i In the end, whether Sean could withstand the training squad and avoid harm depended on him.

Julian’s mood also fell, putting him in the same gloom as Oliver.

Oliver couldn’t help but glance at Julian. “What’s the matter? Don’t you believe I’ll have children?”

Julian replied, “You’re being too sensitive. I didn’t mean it that way.” He then cast a glance toward Oliver’s lower body. “I can tell that you’re quite capable.”

“…Well, I am indeed quite capable.”

However, Fanny had refused to share a room with him for the past few days, leaving Oliver alone in an empty room.

But he didn’t want to tell Julian that, lest Julian start boasting again.

Julian also had no interest in hearing Oliver boast. In his opinion, Oliver was the kind of person who basked in the sun and shone brightly when given even a little attention.

“What’s going on with your father and your wife? How did you get involved in it?”

Considering Oliver’s help in looking after Sean, Julian was currently more concerned about Oliver’s affairs.

However, Oliver’s expression became instantly uncomfortable.

“It’s my father…”

Julian couldn’t stand Oliver’s hesitance. “What happened exactly? If you don’t tell me, I’m leaving.”

“Please don’t.” Oliver grabbed his arm. “You manage your marriage so well, I’d like some advice.”

Oliver swallowed harshly, finding it hard to speak. But in the end, he said, “Fanny’s parents…died at my father’s hands.”

The noise from the bustling corridor suddenly fell away from Julian’s attention, leaving only silence ringing in his ears.
