Chapter 1451 Dinner Julian was someone who would still look handsand distinguished no matter what he wore. Tonight, he was wearing a simple black hoodie, but that was enough to make him look like a prince.
Queenie had already started skipping over to Nigel. She wanted to hug him, but she held herself back since her parents were around.
“You must be Julian Gilmore! My, my! What a fine young man you are!” Maggie swiftly went forward to greet Julian warmly.
Julian sensed warmth and kindness from her. He nodded and smiled. “It’s nice to meet you, Mrs. Silverstein.” “Thank you for helping us find Jessie, Julian. Who knows when we would've reunited with her if it hadn't been for you?” Brandon was immensely grateful.

In fact, he even suspected her of being a thief.
Julian glanced at Jessie and ended up staring right into her large, clear eyes. She gave him a bright smile that glowed under the light, and his heart stirred once more.
It had been so long since he had last seen such a pure, untainted smile—a smile without any greed or ulterior motives. It was a clean, sweet smile that made his heart tremble.
“Let’s not stand around here. We can talk inside! Please cthis way, Mr. and Mrs. Silverstein.” Nigel invited them into the restaurant.
The group went up to the private dining room on the second floor and took their seats. When Maggie saw her two daughters sitting with a handsyoung man LY felt a longing in her heart.
How great it'd be if the two young men here today were my future sons-in-law! With Nigel and Queenie around, the atmosphere remained light-hearted. When the topic landed on Jessie's dreams for her future, her parents were fully supportive of whatever she wanted to do. It didn’t matter to them what their daughter pursued, as long as she was happy. Furthermore, they had even less to worry about once they heard that Julian's family ran the most influential company-in the entertainment industry.
“Don’t worry, Mr. and Mrs. Silverstein. Jessie will have a brilliant career ahead of her with Julian around to help her out.” Jessie was shy and nervous. She was afraid that this would only be a bother to Julian as she didn’t want to trouble him.
However, at that very moment, she heard someone say in a deep voice, “I will take good care of her.” All at once, Jessie went from being a nameless stunt double to someone who was going to be under the care of Julian Gilmore himself! Throughout dinner, everyone showered Jessie with their love and care. Her face steadily grew redder as the night went on. No one seemed to notice, save for one.
Julian noticed it all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEverything Jessie did tonight looked so intriguing and adorable to Julian. Perhaps he felt a sense of accomplishment for being the one who found her.
Thus, he enjoyed observing her whenever he could. Jessie seemed to enjoy stealing peeks at him too, and whenever they locked eyes, she would blush even harder at having been caught glancing at him.
A mysterious undercurrent seemed to brew between the two, though no one else noticed it.
Once they were done with dinner, everyone started making their way back home.
Nigel only managed to steal a brief hug from Queenie when they went to the washroom. Now that dinner was over, he had to watch her leave in her father’s car without having the right to feel any sort of resentment.
Julian saw the way Nigel's eyes trailed after the Silversteins’ car. He patted his friend on the shoulder and said, “Stop staring. Hurry up and marry her so that you won't have to stare after her like that.” “It'll happen soon.” Nigel twirled his car keys and smirked confidently.
The two handsyoung men climbed into the car and Nigel gave Julian a ride home. Along the way, Julian seemed to be lost in his thoughts as he didn’t make conversation with Nigel as he always did.
