Chapter 1180 Aspire to Be the Top Student
Alana recovered from her surprise and hurried to say, “Dad, you and mom don’t need to go with me. I’m a grown-up and can take care of myself.”
Alana also thought that the decision her father made was too exaggerating. She didn’t want her parents to give up the life in Chiobar only in order to look after her.
She wanted to go abroad because she wanted to enrich her experience and make herself stronger. She was no longer willing to be a greenhouse flower.
If her parents accompanied her, she would be protected well by her father again. And it meant nothing to go abroad.
“No. I’m worried. You can’t imagine how chaotic foreign countries are.” As an overseas returnee, once, Julian persisted in opposing.
Alana was smart and chose not to argue with her father but said, “Dad, how about you discuss with my mom and make a decision then?”
Their conversation amazed Alaric who gave Alana a thumbs up on the sly.
He had to admit that his sister really knew how to handle their father. Emelia was definitely his weakness. He would never object to her.
As expected, Julian calmed down immediately and said, “Alright, I will talk about it with your mom first.”
“Thanks, dad,” Alana replied with a smile.
Julian looked at his tall and beautiful girl and involuntarily raised his hand to rub her head gently. Then he signed heavily with sadness.
Time flew!
Alana and Alaric had grown up in the blink of an eye.
They were about to have their new lives, and he should try to let them live independently.
…
Sure enough, while Julian told Emelia about his wish to go abroad with Alana, she didn’t agree with it.
Emelia said to Julian sternly, “I understand your feeling, and I’m also worried that my girl lives alone in a foreign country.”
“But I don’t think that it is good for her if we protect her all the time.”
“Now that you have allowed her to take over your company, you should leave her alone to experience more. Only in this way can she grow strong enough. A greenhouse flower can never undertake your business, can she?”
Julian pursed his lips and kept silent. Although he really didn’t want Alana to go abroad alone, he thought Emelia’s words made sense.
Rationally, he knew his daughter couldn’t be a greenhouse flower if she would succeed him because he had no way to protect her forever. But emotionally, he was unwilling to see her work too hard.
Emelia naturally had empathy with him. They were parents, and they loved their children with heart and soul.
But she was a bit more rational than Julian, and thus she suggested to him again, “I think we can stay with her for a while and then come back after Alana gets familiar with everything there.”
“If we miss her thereafter, we can visit her anytime. Is it OK?”
“Then we can not only take care of our daughter but our son.”
Emelia considered more about it. They loved their daughter, and they should show the same love to their son. Although she knew that Julian was always biased toward Alana.
Julian had nothing to say due to his wife’s full consideration.
He stepped forward and cuddled Emelia in his arms, with his jaw on her shoulder, murmuring, “Some people hold that a man should marry a virtuous wife. If I lost you, Emelia, how can I live?”
He expressed his admiration for Emelia in such a way, which also indicated he was obedient to his wife.
Emelia teased him, “Grow up, my dear.”
Julian chuckled and defended himself gently, “I just cared about Alana so much that I lost my marbles.”
The effective communication between them made Alana’s and Alaric’s future bright finally.
Surly, Julian made a stringent requirement for Alaric that he was not allowed to use any resource of the family and company or benefit himself in the name of the Hughes Group. In a word, as an actor, Alaric must draw a line between himself and the Hughes.
With no objection, Alaric just agreed.
In fact, he was a moderately famous actor in showbiz who made his debut as a child actor.
As for why was he a child actor, there was no doubt that it was because of his parents and his aunt, the superstar Nina. Nina and his mother referred to each other as sisters, so the children called Nina “aunt” after they were born and Nina’s son called Emelia “aunt”, too.
His parents and Nina were deeply involved in showbiz, so he and Alana would be on camera when the cast needed child actors. Perhaps they were so cute that they became the trending topic on the Internet as they showed on television for the first time.
Thereafter, they shot some commercials, living as children actors for years.
At about eight, Alana proactively told her parents that she preferred to study quietly without interruption. Being an actor who received excessive attention was not suitable for her.
Julian and Emelia respected her decision and no longer let her show in public.
Of course, they also asked Alaric who actually enjoyed it. Hence, he was allowed to participate in some shooting of teleplays and advertisements. But they minimized his visibility because his major task was still studying.
Alaric knew that his fame came from his parents somewhat. All of them could not deny it.
It was his fate that he was born in such a family which could offer him this kind of resource.
But he believed that he would achieve his success without his parents’ help.
Actually, even if they didn’t ask him to do so, he would put it forward on his own initiative. It was his choice, and thus he must gain status through his own ability which could stabilize his road. And he would be more confident when his parents or other family mention his career in front of him.
Now, things had settled down. He could prepare to apply for the Film Academy intently. He was worried about nothing, neither the general knowledge course nor the performance course.
He had a big dream that he would rank first.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
It would be glorious if he got perfect scores on both the written and the practical, wouldn’t it?
As for Alana, she could be engrossed in preparing for her favorite university overseas and struggle for her future.
