There He Is Again, My Ex-Husband (Julian and Amelia)

Chapter 1999 Biased Toward His Daughter

After the party, Alana told Julian that she wanted to go to work. Julian was very reluctant, "Take your

time. You can stay home for a few more days with your mother."

Emelia spoke up for her daughter, "She lives at home every day now, so she can come back to spend

the night with me even if she goes to work, right?"

Alana said, "Yes, dad, I know you don't want me to tackle the plots and tricks in the business. But I will

get bored if I keep staying at home, so I might as well go to work and learn more from you earlier."

"Okay." Since Emelia and his daughter strongly demanded it, Julian had to agree.

If it wasn't for the fact Alaric, that brat, showed no interest in doing business...

He dismissed this thought as soon as it occurred to him. The die was cast. He knew that it would be of

no avail if he kept blaming Alaric.

Since the very beginning when he agreed to the career paths his children chose, he should have been

ready to allow his daughter to enter the business world.

He also had no reason to blame Alaric for being disappointing as he had achieved a lot in showbiz.

Now that his daughter had completed her studies, the next step was that he guided her on various

trainings. Fortunately, he was still competent to teach his daughter to avoid many detours and

mistakes.

Standing aside, Alaric thought he would be reprimanded by his father again. But he could not help but

feel relieved to see that Julian had suppressed his anger.

He was really afraid that his father would be angry with him again, and he knew the anger and

dissatisfaction of his dad were only because of his dad's love for his sister.

This time, however, seeing that his dad had managed to contain his emotions, he guessed his dad

would not be angry about this again. After so many years, it was time to get past it.

Since Alana returned home, Alaric had been asked to go back to his parents' house for dinner in the

evening as long as he was in Riverside City.

He had long been living on his own. For one thing, all boys liked being independent when they grew up,

and for another, his occupation made it inconvenient for him to live with his parents. Fans would bother

them too much.

Alana said opportunely, "By the way, dad, I've chosen a house. I'll live on my own. I chose an

apartment near the company instead of one of the villas."

When Alana had not yet returned home, Emelia talked to Julian about allowing his daughter to live

alone.

At first, Julian strongly disagreed; as his daughter had finally returned home, she should live with them.

In this way, he could take care of her in all aspects of her life and feel at ease.

But Emelia insisted that children should be given space and allowed to live on their own as they had

grown up and had their routines and connections.

She said he should allow Alana to live alone in Chiobar. And since Alana went to the company, he

could see Alana every day at the company, so there was nothing to worry about.

In the end, Julian relented and compromised. He asked Emelia to choose some of their houses so that

Alana could choose one from them.

Of course, when his son Alaric moved out and wanted to live on his own, he also gave his son a few

houses to choose from. Like Alana, Alaric did not select a villa either, but a well-located apartment,

which was not large.

As a father, he certainly hoped that they could choose a villa. After all, a large villa was more

comfortable and spacious to live in.

Julian had not yet commented on his daughter's choice when Alaric laughed happily, "Alana, the place

you chose is near to mine. Let's go out and have fun together later."

Julian glared at him, "You dare to mislead your sister!"

"What do you mean by that? All my friends are good, okay? And they are all top talents from all walks

of life. I even want to introduce a boyfriend to my sister."

When Julian heard that Alaric want to introduce a boyfriend to Alana, he had the impulse to hit Alaric,

as it was kind of a sore spot for him.

Alana sensed her father's annoyance and hurriedly said to Alaric, "I picked a place close to yours so

that we can take care of each other."

Julian was speechless.

So he shouldn't worry about it. His daughter and son wanted to get each other's backs.

For a moment, he was at a loss whether to be upset or happy about the harmonious relationship

between them. Emelia glanced at Julian's expression and couldn't help but gloat.

She had advised Julian many times not to worry too much as their children had their own lives, but he

was deaf to her advice. Now, their daughter chose that apartment to be closer to her brother. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Of course, Alana felt Julian's sadness, so she soothed him, "Dad, I'm just trying to keep an eye on him

to prevent him from doing bad things."

Alana's words made him feel much better.

But he put on a fierce look, and after glancing at Alaric, he said grumpily, "You were only born a few

minutes later than your elder sister. Your relationship was different from those of siblings who have an

age gap. Your sister has been taking care of you since childhood. As a man, shouldn't you be the one

that looks after her?"

Alaric was in good temper, smiled, and responded, "I know; I will take good care of my sister

afterward."

Anyway, he was accustomed to his father's bias toward his sister, and he did agree with Julian's words.

It was true that Alana had always taken care of him, and he should really do his duty as a younger

brother to care for his sister in the future.

Emelia changed the topic, looking at Alana and saying, "Let's buy furniture to furnish your house

another day."

"Okay." Alana agreed.

The apartment's hard furnishings were fine and she felt nothing needed to be changed. All that

remained was to add some furniture she liked according to her habits.

After dinner, Julian asked Alaric to come to the study and give earnest exhortations.

Although Julian did not interfere with Alaric's acting career, he must constantly supervise Alaric. Since

he had chosen to be a public figure, he should undertake the responsibility of being one and be strict

with himself in every move.

People in showbiz were a mixed bunch. And Julian did not allow Alaric to cement in any bad habit.

Therefore, he always gave earnest exhortations to Alaric. Besides, though Julian seemed unconcerned

about Alaric's financial situation and the people Alaric contacted in various shows, Julian actually knew

everything.

After all, their family was large. And any of Alaric's bad deeds would affect the Hughes family and the

interests of Julian's friends such as Ezra.

Fortunately, Alaric was a good boy and did not make trouble.

But even so, Julian could not lower his expectations of Alaric.
