Julian stood up and said to Zoey, “I’ll go upstairs and talk to Quinn. Regarding the question about my health, I’ll also tell Quinn without reservation.”“Sure, you two have a good chat. I’ll call you both downstairs for dinner when they come back.”Julian headed upstairs.Zoey looked at his back and muttered softly, “I can’t tell that he’s sick. What kind of illness does he have? Is it because he’s sick that he’s still unmarried at this age?”Was it that all unmarried older men must have some problems?Well, if...God knew when her daughter would find a boyfriend.They really liked Julian.Zoey already regarded him as a son-in-law.When Quinn heard Julian mention that he had an illness and was going upstairs, she returned to her room, pretending not to know that Julian was chatting with her mother downstairs.Soon, Julian arrived at the door of Quinn’s room and knocked.“The door isn’t locked, come in,” Quinn responded.Julian turned the handle and opened the door. He entered without

Julian nodded. “Yes, that’s why I’ve never gotten married. I don’t have any sexual reaction to those women. I can’t just marry someone for dignity, right?“My family is also very anxious. They arranged countless blind dates for me. When I refused to go on blind dates, they brought pictures of girls, hoping that I would have a reaction to someone.“As long as I look at a girl a little longer or talk to her a bit more, my parents think I like them, making me extremely helpless. In the end, I had to stay away from women to avoid misunderstandings with my parents.“Quinn, I had resigned myself to being single for life. Who knew that at Wiltspoon Airport, I would find a keychain with a small photo of you? When I saw your photo, I inexplicably wanted to kiss you, my heart raced, and my face turned red.“This feeling is something I haven’t experienced in my over thirty years of life. I think that’s what they call love at first sight, a normal man’s reaction.“You are the destined woman f

“It’s not exactly an investigation, I just wanted to know who you are. After all, you are the only woman who has captured my heart. Even if I had to search the ends of the earth, I would find you.“Because I had your photo, it was easy to locate you.”At this point, Julian said everything, without further concealment. Learning from Zachary’s experience, he knew that when facing the woman he loved, some things were better said sooner. If concealed for too long, it would be difficult to handle.Zachary and his wife almost divorced because of similar issues.“After finding you, I didn’t want to casually introduce myself to you, fearing you’d see me as a pervert. So, I arranged for my subordinates to pretend to be a biker gang. On your way back to the hotel, they stopped my car, putting me in a dangerous situation, giving you the chance to save me.“That way, I could approach you, treat you well, and you wouldn’t suspect me.”Quinn stared at him. “So, everything was arranged by you.”

”I know marrying me could put you in the way of unpredictable dangers, but I will do my best to keep you safe and not let anyone bully you or harm you, not even a single bit.”Julian was the heir of the Buchams and as its future head, if he could not even protect his wife, he had no business taking that position.Quinn replied on instinct. “It’s not like I’m afraid that you’ll endanger me.”She could protect herself.“As long as you and your family don’t do anything illegal, the power you have is all due to your competence.”Julian hurriedly said, “We won’t do anything illegal like murder, arson, smuggling, or anything like that. We always consider the long-term, so how could we possibly be so stupid to do illegal things? Wouldn’t that just be asking for trouble?”“Grandma May said before that if we Buchams dared to do anything illegal, she would be the first to hold us accountable because we’ve gained connections from her.”The Buchams and the Yorks had such a good relationship

“Sure. I-I won’t rush you or force you. Think carefully about it. Even if you can’t accept my feelings right now, I can wait. It just means that I haven’t done enough to move your heart and satisfy you.“I’ll keep striving my best to make you fall for me and make you happy.”Quinn smiled and said, “It’s not that you haven’t done enough. It’s just—I saw you as a friend but you saw me as a wife. It’s too sudden. I need some time to digest this since this is a major life decision and does concern my happily ever after. I have to think carefully about this.“Julian, this is between the two of us. Don’t tell my parents about this before I’ve given you an answer. If they knew I didn’t immediately say yes, they’d probably yell my head off. Unfortunately, I am that person who’s been stood up countless times by my blind dates.“My dad doesn’t really care. It’s not like I’m that old either—I’m only in my twenties. But my mom’s anxious and keeps thinking that I might be able to defend myself

Before Julian could respond, Quinn’s voice traveled from the top of the stairs.“Food’s ready!”Zoey called from the kitchen.Everyone immediately entered the kitchen and clambered over each other to carry out the ingredients Zoey had prepared for the meat fondue.Apart from Dave, who was not around, everyone sat around the table and dug into the piping-hot fondue.Will even grabbed a bottle of good liquor from his dad’s collection and four small cups, asking Zoey, “Mom, is it okay if we have a bit to drink tonight?”“If you don’t plan on going out after this, I’ll allow you to have a small glass each. Any more than that is a no-go.”If they had too much and got drunk, their work tomorrow would be affected.Will hummed in acknowledgment and said, “Okay, just a small glass then.”A little was better than nothing.“Quinn is a girl, so you should drink less.”Will only poured half a glass for his little sister.Quinn was very dissatisfied with this. “Yeah, I’m a girl, but my a

After dinner, Quinn and Julian went out for a walk.After the two left, Mark asked, “Will, do you feel like Quinn was a little weird tonight? Like she was unnatural and kept blushing at the drop of a hat. It seemed like she didn’t quite dare to look at Julian either. She was really different from usual.“This is the first time I’ve seen Quinn embarrassed ever since she was born. So it turns out that even she gets embarrassed. That’s the only time she looks like a girl. Normally, she’s just like a boy—carefree and shameless.”Will poured a cup of tea for himself, not responding to his brother immediately.Zoey was in the kitchen doing the dishes.When she heard her younger son’s remarks, she suddenly came out of the kitchen and said to them both, “Come here, you two. I want to talk to you guys about something while Julian isn’t here.”“What is it? You’re being so mysterious, Mom. And your expression is really serious. Is it something bad?” Mark asked as he walked over to her curio

After a moment of thought, Zoey said, “You guys do have a point, but when Julian comes back, I still think you’d better ask to be sure and to ease my worries. Also, Julian might like Quinn and the two are a good match, but Julian is the heir of a rich family and there is still a gap between our family and theirs.“Who knows if his parents can accept her? Once your dad’s back, I’ll talk to him. Will, you should make a trip to Wiltspoon with him and see if you can find anything about Julian’s parents and their characters.”Will nodded. “I can go by myself. I’ll book the flight tickets tonight and head to Wiltspoon first thing tomorrow morning.”“Go with your dad. You’re still young and still lack a keen eye for people. Your dad’s old enough and has decades of experience in the industry. His eye for people is still pretty good and it’s his daughter’s marriage at stake. He should help his daughter find out if her future in-laws are alright and if they’re dependable.”Zoey would have go

Lilian often messed with the medicinal herbs her master cultivated, which led to her being chased and scolded by him.It seemed her son had inherited her restless nature.“How’s Sonny been lately?”Liberty had been on edge these past few days because Caroline had been preparing to lure her three brothers into a trap and had not had time to call her son.“Same as usual, but it seems like things have soured again with the Browns.”Serenity added, “Sonny still answers when Hank calls him, but he doesn’t seem happy when his grandparents visit. He doesn’t like going to the Browns’ place, and he doesn’t want to take their calls either.“Hank’s mother and sister are truly incorrigible. They must have been badmouthing you and Duncan in front of Sonny again, which is why he’s upset with them.”During the holidays, Sonny had stayed with the Browns for a few days and started to warm up to them.However, who would have thought that the mother and daughter would start spouting nonsense in f

Once the baby was born, he would apply the knowledge he had learned over the past few months to care for the baby. He was determined to be a competent and responsible father.Serenity released her arms from around him and shifted to her side.Zachary let go, too, allowing her to turn.Then, she planted countless gentle kisses on his face.“Babe, with you here, the baby and I will be just fine. Don’t worry too much,” Serenity comforted softly after kissing him.“You are my rock. If even you are nervous, I’ll start feeling anxious too, and that won’t be good.”Hearing this, Zachary immediately said, “Seren, don’t worry. I’ll protect both of you. Alright, I won’t be so nervous anymore.”He gently touched her rounded belly again. “Lil’ Bun should be a calm kid. He’s not that mischievous.”He felt that the baby’s movements were not too intense.Serenity wanted to tell him that there were times when the baby kicked more vigorously, but she decided against it, knowing it would only m

“Just hit the gym a few more times. Lately, you’ve been spending less time there.”Every day after work, he would come home and orbit around her. As a result, he had less time to work out.It was normal to gain a few pounds eating well and exercising less. Did he really think he could eat anything without gaining weight?The reason he could maintain a model-like physique before was that he exercised daily.“Ow.” Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.This startled Zachary so much that he nearly jumped up, asking anxiously, “Is it stomach pain? Are you going into labor? Let’s go to the hospital right away.”He was about to pick her up, but Serenity stopped him by pressing his hand.“Don’t be so nervous, Zachary. It's not time yet. It’s not happening so soon. It’s just the baby kicking again. His kicks are getting stronger.”As she entered the later stages of pregnancy, the little one inside her was growing stronger. Sometimes, a couple of kicks from the baby could actually hurt.

Zachary, afraid that his wife might refuse to spend time with him at his office in the future, emphasized that he was not busy today.He had already cleared his morning schedule because he needed to accompany his beloved wife for her prenatal checkup.His secretary was well aware of Serenity’s checkup dates. Whenever he saw Serenity turn up at the office with his boss, his secretary would quietly adjust his schedule.Sometimes, on the day of the Serenity’s checkup, his secretary would not schedule any appointments for Zachary at all.Even if appointments were scheduled, Zachary would request they be canceled or rescheduled.Now, in Zachary’s eyes, his wife’s matters were the most important.With Alex now able to share the workload, Zachary felt that he, as the eldest of his generation who had shouldered the bulk of the burden for so many years, deserved a break.Plus, there was the elite team the company had trained; if not now, then when would they be put to use?Everyone was

Tony turned around and left.Only after hearing the door close did Carrie dare to open her eyes.She had woken up while Tony and his son were on the phone, but she did not dare move, fearing that Tony might suspect her of eavesdropping.Just now, when that old lecher stood by the bed looking at her, there was definitely a murderous glint in his eyes. She could feel it.Sooner or later, he would kill her.Carrie was filled with panic. She wanted to escape but was afraid she would not succeed. No one was there to help her.For a moment, Carrie even considered running to Camryn to confess everything, but she quickly dismissed the thought. The reason she ended up in this situation was entirely due to Camryn.She and Camryn were sworn enemies. Their conflict would not end until one of them was dead. However, even if she died, she would drag Camryn down with her.-Meanwhile, in the CEO's office at York Corporation, Zachary, seated at his desk, kept glancing up at his pregnant wife.

“You should have gotten rid of them all back then and cultivated a network of people loyal only to you.” Manny felt that his father should not have spared those people in the first place.Tony said, “There were too many of them, all relatives and friends with the same goal as us. We couldn’t eliminate them all at once.”Back then, he had incited everyone to join him in wiping out the entire main family, sparing neither the elderly nor the children.It was because they were all from the collateral branches, jealous of the main family’s long-standing control, and shared a common goal that his conspiracy succeeded.He had also spent over a decade waiting for the right opportunity.Who would have thought that even after wiping out the main family, he still could not obtain the family seal, token, or totem? Without these, he could not become the true head of the family and could only act as a proxy. Many of the connections loyal to the head remained inaccessible.Moreover, much of the

It was his father. Manny composed himself and picked up Tony’s call as he walked toward his car.“Hey, Pops.”“How’s it going, Manny? Has there been any progress?”Tony was still in Carrie’s room at the moment, but had gotten up and walked to the balcony to call his son.Carrie was still fast asleep, though her face was set in a frown. She was obviously discomfited.Tony had pestered her for the majority of last night, so it would be weird if she did not feel any discomfort.Despite her begging, Tony would not let her go. He even forcefully drugged her to make her mess around with him while out of it. He was simply an old pervert.Before she passed out, she cursed him in her heart. However, she knew that Tony only treated her so roughly because she was just his mistress—a tool for him to vent his frustrations on.If she really was his wife, he definitely would not treat her like this.In the past, she had ambitions of taking Mrs. Longbottom’s place and becoming the real missus

Tati also finished her plate of pastries.She followed Isabella out.“Isa, you’re always so busy and exhausted. If you’re feeling even a little unwell, you should have a good rest. Stay home for the day. I can handle the work you have on hand. It’s the same either way.”Tati wanted Isabella to take the day off so Isabella could spend some time with Austin and nurture their relationship.However, Isabella still declined Tati’s kind offer.She said, “Not today. There’s an important meeting today, and I have two important clients to meet. I’m fine, really. Don’t worry. From now on, I won’t touch alcohol.”Given her current status and position, no one would dare to force her to drink during social engagements.Many people also knew that Isabella would not drink outside her home, fearing that she might fall victim to someone’s schemes.However, Isabella would occasionally make an exception. When she was in a good mood, she would have a couple of drinks.Hearing this, Tati stopped t

Austin still smiled gently and said, “It’s all thanks to Ms. Isabella’s guidance.”He felt that he had indeed improved a lot.Grandma May really understood him well. The wife she picked for him could actually help improve his culinary skills.“After eating the sweets, I feel much better.” Tati picked up another piece of pastry and ate it.Austin quietly retreated, not wanting to disturb their conversation and also to avoid overhearing their private matters.“Just ignore him. Are you really going to skip work because of him?”Isabella added calmly to Tati, “If you let him provoke you, he’ll only cling to you even more. If you act like he doesn’t exist and don’t respond no matter what he does, he’ll naturally give up once he sees that you’re completely unresponsive.”Tati said, “I’m afraid that he’ll go and bother Edith and Eleanor if he doesn’t get anywhere with me. They don’t have the same resolve as we do.”She, therefore, decided to bear the brunt of it.“Every time I see hi
