Chapter 782 Join The Army In Advance (1/2)

Back at the Seaview Villa, Sean followed Terence into the study right after eating dinner.

”Hey, Sean. It seems that you have something in your mind. What's wrong?”

Seeing that Sean wanted to say something during dinner, Terence had asked him to follow him into the study so that they could talk in private.

”Oh, it's nothing. It's just that I have an idea. Terence, I think I want to join the army before I reach the required age,”

said Sean as his face bore a serious look. The determination on his face suggested that the idea he had was already well thought of.

”But can you at least tell me why?”

Looking at his serious face, Terence asked as he wanted to understand where all the decision came from. In fact, he had already planned to allow him to join the army when he reached the required age. This proposal, however, was something that he did not expect from Sean at all.

Lowering his head, Sean replied, ”Don't worry about me too much. I can learn a lot of things on my own in my spare time once I serve in the army. Take a look at it this way: I think that it would be such a waste of time if I spend all of my energy and resources in studying now. I want to go there as soon as possible.

I just want to help you and my sister before anything bad happens!”

Having met Grandpa Nicholas right before he died, Sean thought that he was no longer the naive and innocent kid that he used to be.

Back when he was still alive, Grandpa Nicholas had told him something that stuck with him. Although he hadn't been able to understand what he meant back then, he took the time to reflect on it. And now that he had grown wiser, he thought that he began to understand what Nicholas meant.

”Only when you become strong can you protect the people you want to protect.”

All he wanted to do was to protect his sister and Sally from any harm in the world. After all, he believed that family was the most stable thing in the world that could keep him grounded.

”Sean, don't you think I can protect your sister and my daughter? Don't you believe in me?”

Looking at his serious face, Terence realized that Sean was not kidding around when he said that he really wanted to join the army.

And the main reason for Sean's eagerness was that he wanted to protect Carla and her family at all costs.

Shaking his head, Sean then said, ”No, you got it all wrong. I believe in you. It's not what you think!
