Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1254

"The bathroom and sinks are outside."

Sean and Julian had just walked in when a boy with an even fouler expression burst into the room.

The boy stormed in, forcefully kicking the door open, which was already shaky to begin with. He was taller than Sean, and looked at Sean like the latter was a helpless little boy.

At this moment, Julian could clearly sense the fear emanating from Sean.

No matter how strong one's mentality was, witnessing everything here and feeling the social dynamics and atmosphere could induce a fear that one had left the safe world behind.

As Julian observed whether Sean could withstand the pressure from the boy before him, he silently thanked his lucky stars that Diana hadn't accompanied them. She might have been unable to resist demanding that Sean return home immediately.

After a moment of hesitation, Sean looked up and said, "Hello, I'm the new member of the training squad."

With that, he disregarded the brief surprise in the other boy's eyes and climbed up to the top bunk.

The room had only one bed, and it appeared to have been vacant for a long time. Spiderwebs covered the bed entirely. Sean had never experienced such an environment, so it was impossible for him not to feel repulsed.

Still, Julian was right behind him. Any sign of hesitation, and Julian might take him back.

In truth, Diana wasn't entirely supportive of Sean's participation in the training squad. However, Julian was a devoted husband. If he supported Diana's thoughts and took advantage of Sean's current emotional fragility to ask him to return home, Sean was afraid...that he might not hold back and would indeed give in to Julian's suggestion.

But that wasn't what Sean wanted. He had fought hard for the opportunity to join the training squad, so he couldn't let it slip through his fingers.

Sean tried not to think about the cold sensation when he had climbed onto the chilly bed frame and the spiderwebs he had inadvertently grabbed. After a moment of calming himself down, he turned to Julian and said, "Daddy, please pass me the bedding."

Julian finally snapped out of his daze.

"At least you can still sleep in it," Julian teased him and reached out his arms. "Let Daddy carry you down."

Sean shook his head, his stubbornness evident. He clung to the cold bed frame, carefully making his way down. He was small and had short legs compared to the bunk beds. His movements, while climbing up and down, were enough to make people watching him feel apprehensive.

After witnessing this scene, the boy on the floor laughed mockingly.

Sean stiffened noticeably, and Julian briefly contemplated carrying him down forcefully and taking him home.

However, he restrained himself.

Sean was so persistent, so determined.
