couldn't bear to see his usually cool and confident son looking so small and vulnerable at this moment.

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.

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?"

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."
