Chapter 1255
Julian could see that Sean was trying hard not to panic or be afraid. He decided to respect Sean's decision, but he
couldn't 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 Julian's surprise, there was no sign of defeat in his eyes. In fact, there
was a strange triumphant glint in Sean's eyes.
"Daddy, let's go.''
They had made arrangements with Oliver.
Since Oliver couldn't 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOf course, the first thing he did upon meeting Oliver was to ask about Oliver's wife, deliberately avoiding any
mention of Diana, while subtly asserting that he was Diana's husband with every sentence.
Julian's 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 didn't know
how to deal with it.
During the meal, Oliver assured Julian that while he couldn't show favoritism, he would ensure Sean's 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

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, "It's not just about his safety. Can you promise that Sean won't get hurt?"
As a father, hearing someone say that he could only guarantee Sean's 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.
"That's not possible,” 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 hadn't 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."
Julian was known for his decisiveness in the business world. Many, including Oliver, had been trying to find

efforts, turning crises into opportunities.
He was the man who appeared invincible in the eyes of others. Yet now, for his son, he felt a helplessness he had
never experienced before.

take it anymore. At that time, I'll send him back immediately. IV
It seemed like the only option. Julian decided not to smoke and extinguished his cigarette, tossing it into the trash

He couldn't resist asking Oliver, "You don’t seem very used to smoking, either. Have you stopped for a while?"
Oliver replied, "Yeah, I’ve been busy."
Despite his words, it wasn’t as if he was so busy that he didn't 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 Julian's lips. "It seems you've found the one you truly belong to."
Oliver retorted, "I found her a long time ago. Diana is the one I belong to."
