As a senior caregiver, she has provided care for many prominent figures and knows that large corporations have prenuptial agreements to protect their interests. Since Julian Lawson’s original partner had no status or background, it was unlikely that there would be any outrageous divorce settlement, so she didn’t mention it. On the other side, Julian Lawson sat in the back seat of the car. He took out his phone and called Secretary Chaucer. "President Lawson," Secretary Chaucer answered immediately. "There’s something I need you to handle," Julian Lawson said, explaining the details. "Okay, President Lawson, I’ll prepare the materials now," Secretary Chaucer replied. After hanging up, Julian Lawson remained silent, saying nothing. "President Lawson, where are we headed now?" the driver asked. "Just take a drive," Julian Lawson replied. He wasn’t sure where to go. He didn’t want to return to the apartment. Serena Sterling had moved out of The Hillside Villa, leaving it empty, without her. Moonlight Manor was not an option either; his grandparents didn’t want to see him. The place Serena rented didn’t welcome him either. Julian Lawson looked out at the scenery, the night view of the city was as beautiful and busy as it had been for many years. The flow of cars coming and going formed streams of bright lights. This city was so large. Everyone said The Lawson Corporation was the leading force in Aeston, and Julian Lawson stood at the top of this city. Yet, at this moment, Julian Lawson felt homeless. What was happening to him? Julian Lawson leaned back on the car seat, wearily rubbing his temple, feeling complex emotions. The driver aimlessly drove around the city. Julian Lawson just stared blankly out the window. Outside the window were endless rows of shops. Julian Lawson thought for a moment and asked to stop the car. He went into the mall and saw many little girls’ dresses, school supplies, and backpacks. "Seraphina would look lovely in these dresses," Julian Lawson thought. He remembered Seraphina liked to draw and was quite talented. With some nurturing, she could become an artist in the future. With those thoughts, Julian Lawson unknowingly picked out many items. As Julian Lawson arrived, mall staff flocked over. But Julian Lawson just waved them off, asking them not to make a fuss. Finally, he selected some clothes, paid, and had them packaged. Including the backpack and art supplies. He returned to the car with these items. The driver didn’t quite understand but didn’t dare to ask. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn N0veI.Fiɾe.net "To the Aeston Welfare Home," Julian Lawson instructed. The driver started the car immediately. Julian Lawson looked at the items in his hand, feeling inexplicably emotional. Suddenly, he wanted to see Seraphina. He wanted to dress her up and buy her many things. The car quickly reached the welfare home. Julian Lawson discussed the arrangements with the director and was allowed a temporary visit. But only at a designated location. After waiting a while, Seraphina, holding a big-eared plush toy, slowly walked over. When Seraphina saw Julian Lawson, she didn’t say anything, just went to sit on a nearby chair. For a moment, Julian Lawson didn’t know how to start the conversation, and they both stayed silent. Not knowing how long it had been, Julian Lawson finally spoke, "I bought you some things." Saying this, he brought out the little dresses. Seraphina glanced at them, saying, "Thank you, uncle, I don’t need them." Julian Lawson wasn’t angry. He put the dresses aside first and then took out the backpack and art supplies. "Last time at the kindergarten, I saw you drawing well," Julian Lawson said, placing the items on the table. But Seraphina just looked at him. She said, "Uncle, you can give these to the other children at the welfare home." Julian Lawson looked at the little girl in front of him, unsure what to say. Seraphina sighed softly, saying, "Uncle, my mom will buy me the things I need, and even if she’s too busy for a while, Aunt Joy and Uncle Fu will buy them for me. I’m only here because the paperwork isn’t finished yet." Seraphina held up the plush toy, saying, "This was a gift from Aunt Joy, and I like it a lot." "If you , I can buy them all for you," Julian Lawson offered. Seraphina didn’t respond, just held the plush toy silently, looking at Julian Lawson. The two of them faced each other. Eventually, Seraphina spoke. "Uncle, don’t you get it?" Seraphina said, "I only accept things from my mom and her friends. I won’t take anything from others." The little girl in front of him, small and gentle, appeared exceptionally strong in the worn-out environment of the welfare home. Just like her; she seemed weak but had a strong personality. "Uncle, go home. Stop coming to find me," Seraphina said softly. But Julian Lawson didn’t move, his hands clenching under the table. "You should already know my relationship with Serena," Julian Lawson began, "so if you call her mom, you should also call me ’dad’." "There’s no problem with you accepting my things. All of this is something I should give you." "I don’t know if she told you about my capabilities, but you’re my daughter. In Aeston, anything you want, you can have." Julian Lawson looked at Seraphina, her big round eyes watching him, and he curved his mouth to appear gentle. He smiled and said, "I will help cure your illness, and I can help realize your dreams." Julian Lawson paused briefly, feeling a strange fragility he’d never experienced before. With eyes slightly red, he controlled his emotions and said to Seraphina, "As long as you call me ’dad’." Julian Lawson suppressed his emotions, while Seraphina kept watching him. Her small brow furrowed. The two of them faced off. About three seconds later, Seraphina finally spoke. She said, "But, are you?" Looking at Julian Lawson, his eyes red and unable to speak, Seraphina knew he wanted to ask if Serena had taught her to say this. So Seraphina tugged at the big ears of the plush toy, saying, "Uncle, my mom is a very good person. Before you came to find me, she never mentioned you. It was you who forced her to tell me who you are." "But she didn’t want to hurt me and didn’t want me to worry, so she didn’t say much." "I asked Aunt Joy, and she wouldn’t tell me either. It was only when I went to the director to help me check that I found out about you." "Uncle, I know there’s still someone named Vera Hansen by your side." "Searching your name, what comes up is not my mom, but Vera Hansen. Since you like her so much, stay with her." With clear eyes, Seraphina looked at Julian Lawson, speaking words that pierced him to the core: "Don’t hurt my mom anymore."
