**TITLE: When The Ocean Learned My Name and Whispered It Back to You by Aurelia Novel 550**<\/p>\n
**Chapter 550**<\/p>\n
Julian was acutely aware of her intentions. That reply she had tossed his way was never meant for Polly; it was a calculated jab directed squarely at him, a small but pointed act of retribution that made his heart sink.<\/p>\n
As he made his way downstairs for dinner, the pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place. She already knew the gender of their baby. Earlier, he had carelessly uttered the opposite of the truth, a misstep that now seemed foolish. It was no wonder she had been giving him that icy attitude.<\/p>\n
Agatha, seated beside him at the table, observed the subtle changes in his expression, her keen eyes catching every flicker of emotion. She chose her moment wisely, waiting until he had finished his meal before breaking the silence. \u201cYou just got home, and you\u2019ve already managed to ruffle Sydney\u2019s feathers?\u201d she remarked, her tone a mix of concern and reproach.<\/p>\n
Julian set his fork down with a clatter, frustration bubbling beneath the surface. \u201cI didn\u2019t upset her! She\u2019s the one who\u2019s losing her temper at me,\u201d he retorted, his voice rising slightly.<\/p>\n
The truth was, he simply could not bear the thought of his daughter stepping into the role of an older sister.<\/p>\n
His mind drifted to the eldest daughter of the Hutton family, a woman he had watched from afar. At just 33, she bore the weight of her family\u2019s expectations and responsibilities, and the sight of her struggling to keep everything together exhausted him.<\/p>\n
He longed for his own daughter to remain the cherished younger sibling, the one who would be doted upon and protected\u2014a precious little jewel in the family\u2019s crown.<\/p>\n
As soon as he finished his thought, a sharp slap landed on the back of his head, jolting him from his reverie.<\/p>\n
Agatha scowled at him, her expression fierce. \u201cShe practically wore a path in the floor waiting for you to return! If you didn\u2019t provoke her, why on earth would she be angry with you for no reason?\u201d<\/p>\n
In her eyes, given how tightly wound her grandson was, it was nothing short of a miracle that someone like Sydney could tolerate him.<\/p>\n
Julian rubbed the sore spot on his head, incredulous at her audacity. \u201cWhose grandmother are you supposed to be?\u201d he exclaimed, disbelief coloring his voice.<\/p>\n
How could she be so bold as to strike her own grandson like that?<\/p>\n
\u201cEver since you brought Sydney home, I feel as though I\u2019ve lost my grandson,\u201d Agatha declared, pointing an accusatory finger upstairs. \u201cNow, all I have is a granddaughter. You barely qualify as the son-in-law who married in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Good grief. Had he been too generous with the tonic he\u2019d given her, transforming her into this feisty version of herself?<\/p>\n
Seeing the fondness in her gaze, Julian couldn\u2019t help but chuckle softly. \u201cFine. Every last one of you can side with her,\u201d he conceded, a reluctant smile creeping onto his face.<\/p>\n
Peter, the ever-observant little brother, piped up, \u201cPolly made tonic for Sydney but just reheated leftovers for you, Julian! And now, look at how the old lady is defending her!\u201d<\/p>\n
Agatha poked him playfully on the head again, her eyes sparkling with mischief. \u201cThis is what you wanted, isn\u2019t it? People need to communicate! She\u2019s pregnant, and her hormones are all over the place. Right now, she\u2019s at her most sensitive. You need to stop bottling things up.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf something is weighing on your mind, for heaven\u2019s sake, tell her! Do you really expect her to waddle around with that belly of hers and read your mind like a worm living in it?\u201d<\/p>\n
Julian fell silent, the weight of her words pressing down on him. Deep inside, he found himself blaming Caleb. Why was that man\u2019s health so dismal? If Caleb had been stronger, perhaps their first baby wouldn\u2019t have been a girl after all.<\/p>\n
But what was done was done. If their child was destined to be an older sister, then so be it. He could still shower her with love and treat her as the baby of the family. His daughter would never have to bear any burdens\u2014her only role would be to reign as the family\u2019s little princess.<\/p>\n
Yet, he also recognized the validity of Agatha\u2019s argument. He raised an eyebrow, a hint of resolve creeping into his voice. \u201cAll right, then. Should I go upstairs and try to coax her?\u201d<\/p>\n
Agatha shot him a knowing look, her expression urging him to act. \u201cWhy are you still sitting here?\u201d<\/p>\n
She had only paused him out of concern for his hunger, never intending to intrude on the young couple\u2019s private moments.<\/p>\n
As he reached the bottom of the staircase, Agatha suddenly remembered something important. \u201cWait! You\u2019re not upset because she\u2019s living here without a proper title, are you?\u201d she called after him, her tone laced with concern.<\/p>\n
They were living together, after all. It was entirely normal for a woman to care about such things.<\/p>\n
Julian shook his head firmly. \u201cNo, don\u2019t worry about that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Still, Agatha\u2019s expression remained uneasy. \u201cEven so, why not find a moment for the two of you to get registered?\u201d<\/p>\n
He knew a wedding would be a daunting affair with her belly growing larger by the day, but securing a marriage certificate would only require a single trip to City Hall.<\/p>\n
Julian pondered her suggestion, the idea of making it official lingering in his mind as he ascended the stairs, determined to mend the rift between him and Sydney.<\/p>\n
In the quiet aftermath of the dinner table\u2019s chaos, Julian stood at a crossroads, grappling with the weight of his emotions. The realization that his daughter would soon step into the role of an older sister filled him with both dread and a burgeoning sense of acceptance. Agatha\u2019s words echoed in his mind, urging him to communicate openly with Sydney, to bridge the distance that had formed between them. As he climbed the stairs, he felt a flicker of hope ignite within him. Perhaps this journey into fatherhood would not be as daunting as he had imagined. With each step, he resolved to embrace the changes ahead, to shower his daughter with love while also acknowledging Sydney\u2019s needs and emotions.<\/p>\n
Reaching the top of the staircase, Julian\u2019s heart raced, not just from the anticipation of reconciliation but also from the burgeoning desire to solidify their family unit. Agatha\u2019s suggestion of marriage lingered in his thoughts, a gentle nudge toward taking a step that felt both monumental and necessary. He understood now that love was not merely about protecting his daughter from burdens but also about creating a foundation where both she and Sydney could thrive together. With newfound determination, he knocked on the door, ready to mend the rift and forge a deeper connection with the woman he loved. In that moment, he felt the ocean of emotions within him calm, and he whispered a silent promise to embrace the beautiful chaos of their growing family.<\/p>\n
