Chapter 1536


    Upon seeing Julien, Kevin''s expression instantly darkened. He threw Julien a cold nce.


    Seeing that Kevin was about to lose his temper again, Karen quickly tugged at his sleeve. "Just talk


    things out nicely. Don''t pull a long face whenever you see him."


    Not wanting to upset Karen, Kevin tried his best to soften his expression. "What are you nning to


    do now?" he asked Julien.


    Although it was an indirect question, Julien understood what he meant. "As long as Vanessa


    agrees, I will marry her. As for the wedding ceremony, I''ll just decide after discussing it with


    Vanessa."


    Kevin was very pleased that Julien was taking Vanessa into consideration in all aspects. "You have


    made them suffer so much. Remember, no matter what happens in the future, you must put all your


    heart and soul into treating them well."


    "I will."


    "Vanessa was so young when she met you. She had even given birth to your child and raised that


    child on her own. You should give your everything to them," added Kevin.


    "I understand, Dad."


    Julien''s answer was short, but each word was sonorous.


    In fact, Julien did not need Kevin''s reminder. He himself knew that he was obliged to treat Vanessa


    and Lawrie well. Now that Kevin had summoned him for a talk, Julien came to the realization that


    his family did care for him. He had always thought that they had no interest in his affairs.


    This showed that he still held an important position in this family.


    Jayden was rarely in Chatterton Town as he only returned twice a year. Naturally, Kevin and Karen


    would pay more attention to him. As for their daughter, Karen Joy, the only girl in the family, it was


    perfectly normal that their parents doted on her. Julien was the only one who was still living with his


    parents and had taken over Rovio. It was only natural that Kevin was stricter with him.


    Julien came out of the study and was surprised to see Vanessa waiting outside the door. "Why are


    you still here?"


    Vanessa held his hand and said with a smile, "I was worried that your father would beat you up. So I


    stayed and waited for you. If something happened, I''d immediatelye to your rescue."


    Julien could not helpughing. "As if you would darey a finger on my father."


    "Of course I wouldn''t dare, but I could lend your father a helping hand. I''m sure he wouldn''t bear to


    see me beat you up. Maybe that will cool him off and he won''t get mad at you anymore."


    Julien pulled Vanessa into his arms. "Weren''t you a top student from a prestigious university? Back


    then, you even skipped a few grades. You were always in the limelight and had outstanding grades.


    What made you deteriorate within just a few years?"


    Vanessa retorted discontentedly, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me for being


    stupid?"


    Poking her head, Julien said, "Well, it''s a fact that you''re stupid. You''ve been working hard alone for


    so many years, but you never came to me. Even when you needed money to treat Lawrie''s illness,


    you didn''te to me..."


    However, on second thought, Vanessa would nevere looking for him when she was unsure of


    whether he was Lawrie''s father. No matter what, it was still his fault.


    At the thought of this, Vanessa felt wronged. It was not that she refused to look for him, but she was


    too ashamed to face him. Later on when Julien found her, she reluctantly agreed to his request


    because Lawrie desperately needed treatment.


    Vanessa remained quiet and silently took a deep breath. Julien read her mind straightaway and


    said, "Vanessa, no matter what happens in the future... No matter when, even if we just had a fight


    moments ago... If you encounter any problem, I want to be the first person to know. Lawrie and I are


    the closest people to you now..."


    Vanessa pouted, "So you want to have a fight with me?"


    "I said ''if''."


    "Actually, I hope we can have a fight," Vanessa remarked.


    Julien was a calm man who disliked quarreling. During the three years they were dating, they had


    not quarreled even once. If either of them had initiated an argument with the other party back then,


    they wouldn''t have ended up separating for three years.


    Julien understood what she meant. "From now on, we shouldmunicate more. Don''t hold


    everything in."

    "At yourmand, Mr. Kyle."


    "I have something to discuss with you," Julien said.


    "Okay, I agree to it."


    "I haven''t even said yet."


    "I know what you''re going to say."


    Julien was taken aback. "So you really agree to it?"


    "Lawrie has just been discharged from the hospital. The doctor said that he still needs to be


    observed for a while. When he gets better, I will go back to work."


    Julien''s face darkened. "You think that''s what I want to ask you?"


    "What else could it be?"


    "I was going to ask you about our marriage registration."


    "Oh..."


    Julien swallowed and asked, "So, do you agree or not?"


    Vanessa lowered her head and said nothing. Did Julien expect her to agree to marry him just like


    that? That was not even a proper proposal!


    Seeing no response from Vanessa, Julien began to feel anxious. "Vanessa, you can''t go back on


    your word."


    Vanessa scratched her head and avoided his gaze. "Have I promised you anything?"


    Julien was speechless.


    Just when Vanessa was about to speak, a female voice said, "All men in the Kyle family are the


    same. They wanted girls to marry them, but they didn''t even bother toe up with a decent


    proposal. If I''m given another chance, I swear I''d never marry someone from the Kyle family."


    It was Silvia. She happened to overhear their conversation when she passed by. "Vanessa, let me


    tell you, sometimes men are sly. If you fall into their hands too easily, they wouldn''t know how to


    appreciate you, especially after marriage. You''d better think it over."


    "Silvia!" Julien shouted.


    "I am not talking to you."


    Julien was rendered speechless.


    Silvia said again, "Vanessa, shall we sleep together tonight? I''ll have Larry while you take Lawrie


    with you. We''ll just squeeze on a bed. I''ll help you think this through."


    In fact, Silvia''s real intention was to spend the night with the two little ones. She had babysat Larry


    before, so she wasn''t worried about sleeping with him. However, Lawrie had never slept with her.


    Therefore, she came up with the idea of inviting Vanessa as well, so that Lawrie would feel more


    secure.


    Vanessa replied with a smile, "Sure. But is Jayden fine with that?"


    "Well, he''ll have to agree. After all, I''m not a person to be trifled with," Silvia said smugly.
