One might have assumed that returning home would grant them a chance to sleep. However, there were still enough miscellaneous matters requiring arrangement to cause the short vacation of Julian Sterling and Ethan Caldwell to completely fall through.
Naturally, the one compelled to work was Ethan Caldwell, while Julian was forced by him onto the bed to sleep. Although Julian very much wanted to lend a hand, he also knew how to estimate his own strength. Julian's body had not yet fully recovered, and going to meet Aaron Sterling just moments ago had merely been him trying to act tough.
Perhaps, as Ethan had said, Julian would not be resigned to letting Aaron off too easily. But at present, neither of them knew Aaron's true status in Gabriel Cole's heart, or even regarding that Cedric Harrington who was still lurking in the background. Therefore, Julian could not handle Aaron in a truly satisfying manner just yet.
