Although he felt a little regretful and sorry for his mother, he was relieved to change his character.
In the past, Julien was praised by everyone. His mother was proud of him, but he was under a lot of pressure.
No one knew that he didn't like that.
There were many times he could feel that his mother was seeing someone else in him.
"As I expected." Sydney heard him out and sighed.
Julien vaguely felt that something was off. He lifted her chin and made her face him. "What do you mean? You brought up my former character all of a sudden. Is there any problem?"
His nerves were so keen.
Sydney's lips parted. After quite some time, she bit them and hummed. "Actually, Dallin reminded me of the former you the moment I saw him today."
"What?" Julien wrinkled his eyebrows.
Sydney took a breath and explained, "I seemed to see the former you in him. That gentle boy in white clothes. Guess what? The feelings you two give me are the same. You're identical. I'm not talking about appearance, but character and temperament. Of course, I mean the former you. Now you're widely different from him. You were like him in the past. You were like one person. Do you see what I mean?"
She looked at him. She had made it clear enough.
His character used to be identical to Dallin's.
To put it bluntly, someone deliberately trained him to act like Dallin.
And the trainer was his mother.
She had asked him about it just now.
Then she told him that his former character was the same as Dallin's. The message was clear.
Not a fool, Julien understood what Sydney meant.
For a moment, his mind went blank, and he tensed up once again.
He suddenly clenched his fists, looked fixedly at Sydney, and asked in a hoarse, shaky voice, "Do you mean I used to have Dallin's character?"
Julien had not met Dallin in person. He had only seen Dallin's pictures.
Although he had heard about Dallin's character and demeanor, he just had never thought that Dallin and he had something in common.
And the others would not tell him about that.
Consequently, he didn't know that Dallin resembled him.
As the man visibly got agitated, Sydney felt sorry for him but nodded. "Yeah."
She knew that this was a heavy blow for him.
After all, he had forgone his character and grew up into someone favored by his mother. He did it for her sake.
He did it to make her happy.
In the end, he was told that it was not because his mother favored gentle boys. She trained him that way to quench her longing for a man.
Anyone would find it hard to accept, not to mention a proud man like Julien.
He bowed his head and fell silent. His expression could not be seen.
But the coldness and depression around him betrayed his anger.
