His soul-Chapter 415: True love

"I’m sorry, Daddy," Selena said quietly.

"This is the fourth time you’ve apologized to Daddy, honey."

"Yes, but because of me, Daddy’s hand got hurt."

Julian smiled. "Just a small wound, don’t worry about it. It’s time to eat the steak, if it’s cold it won’t taste good." While tidying up the shattered glass, Julian’s index finger was accidentally scratched.

"But Daddy..."

"Shh... eat first, then we’ll talk." Julian immediately cut Selena’s words firmly.

Like an obedient student, Selena binds to her father’s orders by starting to reach for the fork and knife by the side of the plate and start slicing the meat that his father cooked so perfectly.

"Medium rare." Selena screamed spontaneously when she managed to slice the best wagyu meat from Japan. "It’s perfect, Daddy!"

Julian chuckled. "Of course, that Daddy is as great as that Salt Bae from Turkey."

"What? Salt Bae? Haha... Daddy’s sense of humor is too high," Selena said amused.

"Why? You’ve proved it yourself, haven’t you? Daddy’s steak never fails, tastes good too, right?"

"Yeah yeah..Daddy’s really better than Salt Bae."

"Ah, your words are not sincere, Daddy doesn’t accept it."

"I’m serious, Daddy. Really, my Daddy is the best chef in the world, let alone Salt Bae, Alain Ducasse alone is nothing compared to Daddy," Selena boasted.

Julian laughed again, even though he knew that his daughter’s words were just a joke but he was still happy to hear it. Julian lovingly tucked Selena’s hair behind her ear so as not to disturb her while eating.

"Daddy wants to try?" Selena asked quietly, offering the steak she was enjoying to the maker.

Julian shook his head, he raised his crystal glass in the air. "Wine is enough for Daddy."

"I’ll just spend it then."

Julian chuckled. "Just finish it, honey. Daddy made it for you."

Selena smiled broadly, the next second she began to eat voraciously, enjoying piece by piece of very juicy meat.

After fifteen minutes, Selena finally managed to finish the incredible steak without any leftovers, seeing his daughter like his cooking Julian’s smile widened. He was glad that Selena didn’t spare his homemade food.

"I’m so full, thanks for the dinner, Daddy."

"You’re welcome, dear. Since you’re full now you go back to your room and rest."

Serena shook her head quickly. "I can’t go to sleep right away, Daddy. I have to wait an hour or two for the food to be digested."

"Oh I see."

"Yeah, because it was about Daddy accompanying me to watch my favorite series, huh," said Selena quickly.

"Well then, it just so happens that Daddy isn’t sleepy either," said Julian softly, agreeing to Selena’s request.

With a bright smile, Selena led her father to walk into the living room, as previously said, Selena then turned on the television to watch her favorite series, which turned out not to be broadcast tonight because of an emergency broadcast about a fire disaster at one of the largest oil refineries belonging to a Qatari noble family.

"Oh Jesus, that’s terrible," Selena said quietly, staring in horror at the television that was broadcasting the fire under the sea. "How much will they lose in this way?"

Julian smiled. "The question is wrong, dear. The right question should be how much loss they’ve made."

"Eh?"

"Let’s see for yourself, what is the biggest impact of an underwater pipe fire like that? Underwater life was the first to be destroyed. How many coral reefs were destroyed, fish died and millions of oxygen-producing plankton were destroyed in this event?"

Selena was silent, digesting the sentence that had just been spoken by her father without taking her eyes off the television, which was showing a huge fire under the sea, where a leak of an underwater oil refinery owned by a Qatari businessman had occurred.

"In life we ​​can’t just judge from one side, Selena. You have to listen to the other side to make a decision," said Julian again.

"Yes Dad, I understand," Selena replied.

Because he felt uncomfortable with the show on television, Julian then grabbed the remote and turned off the live broadcast that was being broadcast, even though he was not an environmental activist but Julian felt sad to see this terrible event.

"Okay, let’s talk about something else now," said Julian excitedly.

"What are you talking about, Dad? Is there a problem at our hotels?"

Julian shook his head. "No, everything went smoothly."

"Then what does Daddy want to talk about?" she asked again.

"Daddy wants to ask about your job and..."

"And?"

"Your love, you’re old enough to get married, Selena. It’s time for you to stay home, be a good wife and mother to your husband and children like Gina. Rosa, your sister is already engaged, what are you waiting for, hm?"

Selena blinked her eyes, she looked very shocked to get an unexpected question from her father. All this time, Selena thought that her father didn’t care about my unfinished solitude.

"D-diego is still single, Dad. Daddy should have asked him to marry first after Gina, Diego is the eldest of me and Rosa," Selena answered quickly, bringing up the name Diego, the older brother who still doesn’t have a girlfriend.

Julian laughed amused at Selena’s answer. "Why are you bringing up Diego?"

"Yes, I have to, I’m still young. So I still don’t deserve to be forced to marry, Daddy," Selena said curtly.

"Honey," said Julian softly. "Diego is a man, his career is still long. He can marry whenever he wants, the age at which a man is married is unlimited. It’s different from planning, dear. Besides, your brother is currently very busy and focused on building our two hotels. in Paris, Daddy’s pretty sure Diego doesn’t want to get married right now."

"Why doesn’t Daddy just get married?" Selena asked spontaneously without realizing it.

Julian’s expression immediately changed, as did the look in his eyes.

Realizing her mistake, Selena immediately dropped her body into her father’s arms.

"Sorry, Daddy. Sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt Daddy’s heart," Selena said quietly.

Feeling the strength of Selena’s embrace made Julian realize that his daughter had accidentally asked a question that for the past five years he had often heard from his business colleagues, in almost every business meeting Julian always got the same question. His status as a wealthy widower really becomes a big magnet for all the single women in Barcelona.

"Daddy decided not to remarry, honey."

"What?" squealed Selena loudly. "Why, Daddy? Daddy deserves to be happy, Daddy’s still young too."

Julian smiled at the beautiful face of Selena who had grown up. "Daddy doesn’t want to make sad stories anymore, just twice Daddy feels like a bride. At this old age, Daddy wants to see all of Daddy’s children get married and have children. Daddy wants to focus on spending Daddy’s old age with the adorable grandchildren of the three of you ."

"But Daddy can still enjoy life happily, Daddy. Daddy can still be like..."

"Like your mother you mean?"

Selena’s eyes widened. "Daddy knows about Mommy’s life now?"

Julian pursed his lips. "Of course Daddy knows, Daddy won’t blame your mother for being happy with her current lifestyle. Your mother deserves to be happy with her choice."

"If Mommy is happy why can’t Daddy do the same?"

"Daddy doesn’t want to make the same mistake, honey."

"The same mistake?" Selena repeatedly confused.

"As long as you’re married to your mother, Daddy hasn’t been able to love her one hundred percent," said Julian quietly. "Here, in Daddy’s chest there is still love for Sandra, Daddy’s first love, which continues to this day. Daddy wants to atone for Daddy’s guilt on Sandra by not marrying again."
