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 chocte if he had been there. He could even have massaged her legs.


    ncing 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 ce or social


    setting, personal ability is what matters most.


    “As long as you excel, people will naturallye 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 boye 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 ced 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


    amodation, they realized that the living conditions were even more basic than what was depicted in


    the brochures.


    The ce they were assigned to was worse than where Julian and the others


    had stayed in their early days. The room was in, 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 ce, 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!
