Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 343

Under these circumstances, Julian didn't expect Maddox to seek him out, so he parked his car and took the initiative. "Dad. Mom."

Meredith, fearing Maddox's displeasure, had already informed him about Julian coming over for breakfast the moment she received his text.

Given the situation, she couldn't pretend not to know. She observed Maddox's expression for a moment before chiming in awkwardly, "You got here pretty quickly. I thought you'd be here much later. I even told the kitchen to take their time with breakfast."

Julian followed his mother's lead. "I was already dressed and ready to leave when I texted you. I'm sorry, I should have been clearer."

With that, he turned to Maddox and added apologetically, "Sorry to drop in so suddenly and disturb you."

Regardless of recent events, this was still Julian's home. The father and son hadn't reached the point of turning into sworn enemies. By lowering himself and adopting such a formal, distant tone to show his remorse, it would seem unreasonably cold if the old man continued to give him a hard time.

Maddox gave him a glance but ignored the apology. "It's cold out. Let's go inside."

"Alright."

Julian responded respectfully, walking around to Maddox's other side. Flanked by Meredith on the left and Julian on the right, they helped him inside.

The butler was waiting by the door and immediately handed them warm towels. The old man wiped his hands, drank some water, and, once he had warmed up, allowed the butler to help him out of his heavy coat before heading to the living room sofa.

When the maid brought out snacks and drinks, Meredith took the tray and personally set it on the table to show her devotion.

Knowing Julian had something to say, she exchanged a few pleasantries to lighten the mood, then excused herself to check on breakfast in the kitchen, leaving the living room with the maids.

Julian appeared deeply conflicted, visibly hesitating to speak. Even long after Meredith had left, he kept beating around the bush without getting to the point.
