AFTER WINTER got caught by Julian, he had no choice but to face him.
We need to talk face-to-face anyway.
Fortunately, his brother looked calm now.
"Winter, I'd like to apologize for the way I behaved last night," Julian said. His voice was warm, but his eyes were cold. It was as if he was forcing himself to be kind and understanding even if he didn't want to. "I was just feeling unwell."
Haaah.
Winter could tell that Julian was falling into depression again.
And, so…
"Young lord, I like you."
"Huh?"
"I like you more than I like your father," Winter said firmly and sincerely. "If I were going to steal someone's affection, I'd still yours. I want you to spoil me and treat me like your precious younger brother, after all."
It wasn't like he hated his father.
But Daddy in this timeline is mean to Brother Julian!
Winter considered snitching to his mommy, but he decided against it in the end.
