In the end, Julian Lawson just tasted a bit and didn’t continue. He looked at the view outside the window; the sky in early May, the heat slowly rising. He looked for a very long, long time. He felt the surroundings were very empty at this moment. It seemed like there should have been another person beside him. Grandfather’s letter was locked in the drawer; he didn’t know what kind of mood he was in. "Brother Julian." Vera Hansen packed up the lunchbox and came over. Julian Lawson glanced at her, gesturing for her to speak. "Brother Julian, can you... lend me some money?" Vera Hansen looked quite embarrassed, "The studio is facing some operational difficulties, I will pay you back soon." "How much?" Julian Lawson asked. "Five million." Vera Hansen said, her voice lowering even more. Julian Lawson took out his phone. Vera Hansen’s phone vibrated once, then she smiled broadly and thanked, "Thank you, Brother Julian!" Julian Lawson had no particular thoughts; his heart was always calm. However, after watching Vera Hansen leave happily, he suddenly told Secretary Chaucer, "Cancel my afternoon and evening schedule." Secretary Chaucer nodded to indicate understanding. "Tomorrow, cancel it too." Julian Lawson paused slightly before continuing. Secretary Chaucer was slightly surprised, planning to finalize the divorce certificate tomorrow after the cooling-off period ended today. He took a deep look at Julian Lawson, but ultimately did nothing, just replied, "Alright." After Julian Lawson finished instructing, he left with his car keys and coat. "President Lawson, where are you going?" Secretary Chaucer immediately asked. But Julian Lawson just waved his hand. Secretary Chaucer understood that there was no need to look for him afterwards. Julian Lawson drove his Maybach alone, wandering aimlessly in the city. He didn’t know where he wanted to go; he felt like a cloud floating mid-air without a place to land. Driving, driving, finally stopping in an area of villas. Serena Sterling’s family used to live here. And not far away on the other side was Julian Lawson’s childhood home. Julian Lawson opened the car door and walked towards that house step by step. Many years have passed, this small villa already looks old. Along with a round of cheerful laughter, Julian Lawson saw that this villa had new owners. After Evan Sheridan passed away back then, faced with liquidation, this villa was sold. Julian Lawson just stood there, looking at the cheerful family inside, he seemed to see the image of Serena Sterling’s family of three during the summer vacation again. The adult couple embraced dancing, while the little girl laughed, playing music on the side. The fiery red dance dress fluttered incessantly; he could never forget the smile on the little girl’s face. "Don’t run! You’ll easily fall!" A voice came through. "Ouch!" The new owner’s little girl ran over without him noticing. She ran too fast and fell on the ground, pouting and shedding tears. Julian Lawson squatted down, took out a handkerchief to wipe the girl’s tears away, as if to wipe away someone else’s tears. "Don’t cry." He said, then opened his large hand, held the little girl’s hand, and helped her up. "Thank you, thank you, President Lawson." People inside ran out and thanked him immediately. Everyone living around here knew who Julian Lawson was. Julian Lawson waved his hand to indicate it was unimportant. He lowered his head and glanced at the little girl again. The little girl stopped crying, just looked at him fearfully. His mouth corners suddenly raised, Julian Lawson smiled slightly. Then, he stood straight, turned, and left. Just for a few fleeting moments then, he almost saw that little girl as Serena Sterling. The Serena who watched her father die helplessly in front of her eyes. The Serena who hadn’t yet used those cold eyes to look at him. Julian Lawson sighed a long breath and sat back in the car. He didn’t know, he kept driving. The car drove far, far away, finally reaching a desolate corner. Sitting nearby was a huge building. Aeston’s number one prison. As the car stopped, Julian Lawson knew who he wanted to see. After handling all procedures, Julian Lawson sat in position, looking at the man on the other side. The man first sneered when he saw him, then picked up the microphone. Julian Lawson picked up the microphone too. "Busy President Lawson, how come you have time to see me?" The man mocked. But Julian Lawson just stared at the man before him. William Wyatt, Serena’s former stepfather. "Serena sent you to say something to me?" William Wyatt asked angrily. "It’s not her, it’s me." Julian Lawson finally spoke. "Not her?" William Wyatt seemed a bit curious, "What do you have to say to me?" "Back then, when you sent me here, you said I’m such a scum that I’m not worthy to speak to you." Julian Lawson still just looked at William Wyatt. He wore a prison uniform, and in these years inside, he had become more slender compared to before; seemed neither doing well nor poorly. Seeing Julian Lawson silent, William Wyatt also sensed something was off. "If you don’t speak, I will." William Wyatt thought for a while and said, "These years with Serena, how are you two doing?" Julian Lawson did not answer. "Are you her boyfriend?" "No, back then you liked her, she loved you as if she couldn’t bear to live without you, haha." He continued, "Have you gotten married?" Julian Lawson nodded, but then paused immediately. Seeing this, William Wyatt clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Serena really married into a wealthy family; I knew you had deep feelings, and knew even before Sheila was with me, Serena lived a life like a little princess, but isn’t the Lawson Family very powerful? Could your family accept her?" Julian Lawson nodded again. William Wyatt got more interested. "Then she’s awesome, she managed to win everyone over, how did she do it?" Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NoveI(F)ire.net Seemingly having gone a long time without talking to outsiders, William Wyatt appeared very excited and curious. Perhaps, it was because of genuine feelings, and effort. Although they initially married because of the grandfather’s illness, later, both grandparents valued her greatly. "Don’t want to say? Anyway, what do you really want here for? Just to chat with me?" William Wyatt said. He seemed to think of something and asked, "Did something happen to Serena?" Julian Lawson slightly lowered his eyes. "We’re getting divorced." Julian Lawson said. Even though it’s fake, and they’d reunite in six months, he still felt sorrow. "Divorce?" William Wyatt was truly shocked, "Your family doesn’t like her?" "Hahaha, she’s so unlucky, she loves you to the bone, now she’s abandoned, I bet she’ll cry her eyes dry!" William Wyatt kept laughing. Time was up, Julian Lawson put down his things and left. He gave a last glance at the laughing William Wyatt. It wasn’t that his family disliked Serena, it was he who proposed the divorce to Serena. "Let’s go." Someone urged him. Julian Lawson withdrew his gaze and walked out. After thinking for a while, he finally understood, that he came here to see William Wyatt just to hear him say, "She loves you to the bone."
