“Where are you going?” Julian asked as he walked towards Terrence. At home, besides his wife and mother, the person he listened to the most was his son. To put it bluntly, he had no status in this family; even his daughter-inw and granddaughter were ahead of him.


    Terrence said, “Mom is inviting you to dinner tonight. Will you go if I give you a reason?”


    “Is it really your mom inviting me to dinner?” Julian found it hard to believe. Yesterday, he had invited Ste to dinner and got kicked out by her.


    Terrence raised an eyebrow slightly. “Are you going or not?”


    “I’ll go,” Julian said, scratching his head. “I’ll go change my clothes, wash my hair, and tidy up.”


    Even after many years of marriage, some things still mattered.


    Terrence nced at the time. “I’ll give you half an hour.”


    Julian muttered, “Who’s the father and who’s the son here? Now he’s even bossing me around.”


    Despite his grumbling, Julian obediently went to change his clothes and wash his hair. After a few steps, he asked, “Terry, where’s Meredith? Didn’t shee with you?”


    “She went out,” Terrence replied as he carried Little Lucky downstairs to wait. Meredith had indeed gone out to find Ste.


    The couple had split up their tasks-one went to persuade Ste while the other worked on Julian-to clear up the misunderstanding as quickly as possible.


    Meanwhile, Meredith had already brought Ste to the restaurant. Meredith had convinced Ste that Julian was inviting her to dinner. Out of consideration for Meredith, Ste came.


    In the private room, not seeing Julian, Ste asked, “Didn’t you say your dad was inviting us? Where is he? The host isn’t here yet?”


    “He’s on his way,” Meredith said. “Dad must be dressing up nicely. Mom, don’t rush; have some tea first.”


    “I’m not in a hurry,” Ste said with a hint of denial. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’te to see him.”


    “Mom, calm down. It’s been so long. You and Dad should talk things out today,” Meredith urged. “When you caught Dad cheating with Aubrey at the hotel back then, it was actually Reginald’s scheme. Dad didn’t do anything wrong; he’spletely innocent.”


    “Meredith, why are you defending him now?” Ste felt ufortable. “I saw it with my own eyes; how could it be fake?”


    “Mom, Terrence and I have known about this for a long time. To prevent Reginald from doing something worse, we went along with his n and encouraged your divorce from Dad,” Meredith exined everything clearly. “Reginald’s goal in returning was to disrupt the Sterling family. Terrence pretended to be blind to deceive Reginald. If it weren’t for Selene’s unexpected move, we would still be ying along with Reginald.”


    “All of this was Reginald’s doing?” Ste’s mind was still somewhat clear. “But did your dad sleep with Aubrey or not? Did they do anything?”


    “Absolutely not,” Meredith assured.


    “They were both naked and in bed together; I saw it myself. Even if it was a setup, they still slept together,” Ste couldn’t get over this hurdle in her heart. “The surveince footage showed them entering the room together.”Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    “The people in the surveince footage weren’t really Dad and Aubrey; they were impersonators from Celestial Alliance…”


    To ensure that the uing meeting between her parents would not turn into an argument and that they could resolve their issues peacefully, Meredith exined everything in detail.


    Ste listened half-understandingly but found it all very incredible that Celestial Alliance had such capabilities.


    Ste knew about Reginald’s ambitions; he had even kidnapped Little Lucky.


    Now that Reginald was globally wanted and even Terrence had to pretend to be blind to deal with him, it made sense that Julian fell into his trap.


    After hearing everything, Ste criticized, “I always said Terry’s dad is too soft-hearted. When Reginald came back, I knew he wasn’t up to any good. A man who disappeared for thirty years suddenly returns without any ulterior motives?”


    “Mom, you’re sharp-eyed and wise; you see people clearly,” Meredith praised her. “You are generous and intelligent; Dad is lucky to have married you. Having you as my mother-inw is my blessing too.”


    Meredith’spliments made Ste feel ted and a bit proud. “Of course! Julian is lucky to have married such a good wife like me. When I was young, suitors lined up all the way to France.”
