When Vans realized the piercing gaze behind him had disappeared, he relaxed slightly and asked, "Is something wrong, Julian?"

Julian knew by Vans's tone that something was wrong.

Sure enough, when Julian looked up, he saw that Vans stood almost at the same level as him on the balcony with a cigarette in hand. The ash would have fallen on his head if he hadn't looked up in time. Julian said Instead of replying to Vans's question, Julian said, "Look down."

"Down?" Vans repeated, looking down at his shoes. "What's wrong? This is a weird call, even by your standards."

"I said, look down! The balcony downstairs!" Julian urged.

"The balcony downstairs?" Vans parroted as he leaned forward slightly. "Wha-"

Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes widened.

He blinked. Confirming that his eyes weren't playing tricks on him, he glanced at Diana to ensure neither she nor Nina was looking at him before stealthily turning back to Julian and demanding with wide eyes, "Why are you here?!"

Diana had made it clear that she and Julian had drawn the line between them last night. There would be no more interactions between them. This time, she was through with him.

If Diana discovered Julian was here...

"Are you still following her? Aren't you afraid that she'll get even angrier?!"

Julian was stunned by Vans's words, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

"Whose side are you on?"

Vans was taken aback. "Uh... Yours...!"

The anger in Julian's heart dissipated a little. "At least you have some self-awareness!"

Taking a deep breath, he explained, "I wasn't following her. I just happened to find out that she was moving in today."

Was it merely a coincidence?

To be honest, Vans didn't believe it. He had lost all confidence in Julian's understanding of relationships, for the latter always seemed to do things that infuriated his partner.

"Whatever you say, man," Vans said. "I'm hanging up now. I still have to help Nina move some stuff."

"Wait," Julian said. He couldn't help but sigh at his best friend's lack of loyalty, but miraculously, he could understand where Vans was coming from.

As such, he wasn't overly bothered by Vans's attitude.

"Will Nina be living with Diana now?"

Vans nodded. "Yeah."

"What about you?" Julian asked.

"What do you think? I'm obviously not going to be living with them."

If Vans dared to live in the same place as Diana, Julian would surely flay him alive! No, that was too light of a punishment. Judging by Julian's twisted mind, he might even arrange for dozens of girls to go after him. Vans wouldn't be able to explain anything to Nina when that happened!

Although it was late, Julian could clearly see Vans's panicked expression under the dim light.

"What are you thinking about? You look like you're thinking of something inappropriate."

Vans was speechless.

Something...inappropriate?

He... Well, fine.

"I was wondering how on earth you could do something so nasty to Diana and thought of giving Oliver to her!"

Once Vans finished talking, he couldn't hold back his laughter anymore. Afterwards, he shrugged helplessly.

Julian immediately picked up on the implications. "Looks like Diana thought of me so quickly this time, thanks to you."

How did Julian always manage to gain the upper hand in a conversation? How did Julian always manage to catch the flaws in Vans's words?! It wasn't like he had lived life longer than others, right?

Vans didn't want to admit it, but he finally said, "Bro, just tell me if you have any orders, okay? I'll definitely carry them out without question."
