With a cute face, Julien Glover Kyle said seriously, "Mom, I'm not..."
"Little precious, little precious, little precious..." Julien had not yet finished his words but Karen Joy Kyle continuously teased him with his nickname.
Julien had no choice but to lower his head and eat obediently.
As the saying goes, women are hard to get along with. The two women in the family took advantage of his father's love for them and ran amok every day. No one could afford to offend them.
At the end of September, the temperature in Coast City was getting colder.
It was especially cold at night. With the whistling of the cold wind, it meant that winter was arriving.
But the cold did not appear to affect some people, and they could continue with their daily routine like normal.
For instance, Kevin Kyle was one of them. He had other matters to attend to tonight, so he left to the dinner meeting with his adopted son, Jayden Kyle, and Nick Black.
When he went out, he put on Karen Daly's favourite outfit - a white dress shirt and a pair of black trousers.
Although he dressed his usual style tonight, but everyone else felt that he still looked different tonight.
He sat in the car without saying a word. He was a very cold person, but today, he seemed to be serious and a little anxious, which was unusual.
"Director Kevin, we're here!" Nick announced promptly as he parked the car, and he had been working as his chauffeur for the past few days.
However, Kevin didn't hear anything. He was in a daze, and Nick thought that this was unusual too despite working for him for decades.
"Director Kevin..." Nick tried to get his attention gently.
"Nick, am I overdoing it?" Kevin suddenly asked.
He listened to Karen's advices and understood that he should let his children handle their own personal affairs. It was none of the adults' businesses, but he still couldn't help but to intervene.
Karen Joy Kyle was his daughter, and the only daughter in his life. He could not watch his daughter fall in love with another man so hopelessly without doing anything.
"Director Kevin, you're already here, aren't you?" Since their Director Kevin had already made up his mind, Nick didn't dare to persuade him any further.
"Let's go." Kevin got off the car. and Jayden walked ahead of him.
"Dad, who are we going to meet?" Jayden had already guessed who they were going to meet, but he needed some assurance.
If their father was willing to meet that person, it would mean that he had compromised and supported Karen Joy's decision.
"You'll know when you see him." Kevin took the lead in walking towards the guild hall, with Jayden and Nick following closely behind him.
"Mr. President, Mr. Kyle is here." Jason Lesley saw Kevin's group of three and reported immediately.
Having turned down all his other schedules tonight, Nathaniel Cooper, the President of the country, had already reached half an hour before scheduled time.
He had never been as nervous as he was now. Even when he was waiting for the election results, he was not this nervous that his palms were sweating.
Because the person he was going to meet tonight was the girl's father whom he cared about.
"Uncle Kyle, nice to meet you!" Nathaniel took a deep breath and hurried to greet him.
In the past, Nathaniel had been with the Kyle family for some time under another identity. In order to keep his true identity a secret, he had never spoken to Kevin during that period of time. As such, he had never greeted Kevin before.
Today, when Kevin invited him to meet up, he seriously thought about how would he address him. He knew that he needed to respect the generation gap and address him like his senior.
