Married at First Sightย ย ย Chapter 2440
Thank goodness Josh was married and Jasmine was pregnant, so Julian had nothing to worry about. Besides, Quinn only admired the strong, and Josh was a strong character in everybodyโs eyes. It was normal that Quinn would admire and praise Josh. Julianโs headache did not feel so bad when he saw that Quinn was calling. He quickly picked up the call. โMs. Crawford.โ โYouโre up, Mr. Bucham. Did I wake you? Youโve been asleep for long. Itโs almost ten oโclock now. I called to check whether you were awake.โ Quinn did not drink, so she got up early. She was out because she could not work out in her room after waking up. She went jogging along the streets bright early, then returned to the hotel for a shower. Feeling refreshed, she went to the restaurant on the first floor to enjoy a buffet. She did not disturb Julian and went to have breakfast alone since he passed out drunk. The restaurant on the first floor of the hotel was the best in all of Wiltspoon. People from everywhe

Quinn smiled. โI donโt come often. Do you have a headache? Do you want something to eat?โShe already had her fill. โMy head hurts. Itโs my first time getting drunk and hungover. It feels like my head is being torn apart.โJulian rubbed his temples as he spoke. At the same time, he thought, โThe alcohol Zachary prepared was so good that it actually got all of us drunk.โZachary would have felt accused. Clearly, Julianโs alcohol tolerance was the issue.โI donโt have an appetite because of the headache, but I still feel hungry.โJulian made himself sound pitiful to gain Quinnโs sympathy. Naturally, Quinn did not feel bad for him because she had no feelings for him. However, she still showed concern out of courtesy. โIโll ask the receptionist if they have anything that can relieve your headache. If it doesnโt work, we can go to the hospital to get some medication from the doctor.โQuinn added, โYou should eat something despite the headache. Itโs bad to leave your stomach em

Quinn headed out to get Julian breakfast. He mentioned that he wanted something light, so she went to the bakery and got sandwiches for him. Afraid that the sandwiches would not suffice, she bought a banana and orange juice before returning to the hotel. Ten minutes later, Quinn stood in front of Julianโs room and knocked on the door. โMr. Bucham.โJulian opened the door. Quinn handed him the breakfast and asked out of concern, โI requested the receptionist to send you some meds. Have you taken them?โJulian accepted the food and allowed her inside. Quinn did not want to enter the room. However, seeing that Julian had already made way for her and was in proper clothes, she entered after some hesitation. She was the one who brought him back to his room last night anyway. Fortunately, she had been strong enough to support him all the way back to his room because of her training. If it were any other ordinary girls, they would not have been able to keep Julian upright. H

Julian suddenly understood why Zachary fell in love with Serenity after their marriage. He must have experienced a simple life that he never did before, and the fresh excitement soon turned into addiction. That was probably why he kept his identity a secret from Serenity. Julian pondered on when he should tell Quinn the truth. He could not possibly follow Zacharyโs footsteps. Even Serenity, who was mild-tempered, got so furious that she wanted to get a divorce after discovering Zacharyโs lie. He had a nasty shock. Quinn always had a clear stand on her likes and dislikes. Although she looked easygoing, she could be destructive if someone offended her. Deception was definitely not an option. Zacharyโs brothers and cousins dared not hide their identities like he did when pursuing their future brides. They were honest from the get-go out of fear of ending up like Zachary. โMr. Bucham?โ Quinn called Julian, puzzled, as he was staring straight at her without even blinking.

As Quinn mentioned, it was best to keep up a lie forever once it started. Otherwise, one must come clean as early as possible and ask for forgiveness to prevent the lie from snowballing. Julian could never deceive her for his entire life. After all, he had to manage the Buchamsโ business. Quinn would also have to meet his family after getting married to him. There was no way the lie could last forever. Quinn asked curiously, โDid that friend of yours lie to the person he likes or a friend?โโHe lied to the woman he fell in love with at first sight. He opened up to me because he didnโt know what to do. I didnโt know what to tell him. He lied to her, fearing she might leave him after finding out that he would constantly be in danger or targeted.โโMy advice is not to lie about feelings. Although Iโve never dated someone, I think Iโll beat my boyfriend up and never contact each other again if he deceives me.โJulian was shocked. Quinn was more ruthless than Serenity. After swal

Upon giving it some thought, Julian agreed with Quinn. He said, โBeing honest with the person you love is crucial. Thank you, Ms. Crawford. Iโll talk to my friend and tell him not to keep a secret anymore.โQuinn smiled. โYou donโt have to thank me. I was just sharing my thoughts. Everyone has differing opinions. There may be people who think lying is acceptable. Some of them are used to living in a lie.โYou can talk to your friend. If he doesnโt accept your suggestion, you donโt have to continue persuading him. You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.โJulian felt awkward. What would Quinn think of him if he were to tell her the truth?He needed her to discover his true identity in the most natural way possible. He could explain everything to her afterward. Upon finishing his breakfast, Julian felt much better. Quinn asked, โDo you need more rest, Mr. Bucham?โโItโs almost noon. I think Iโll head out for a stroll instead, and only take a nap afterward. My he

Quinn cocked her head to the side. The sharp blade narrowly missed her face. The robberโs wrist trembled, and the blade was turned toward her neck. Suddenly, a hand appeared to grab the robberโs wrist. The robber exclaimed in pain when a strong grip caught his wrist. The knife fell from his hand, and he received a painful kick. However, there was no escaping for him because his wrist was still locked in a grasp. Julian went to the robberโs back and kicked behind his knees. The robber knelt from the pain, and his wrists were confined to his back. Julian pressed his weight onto the robber to make him stay down. The robberโs face rubbed against the floor and bled. He shouted, โCall 911. Help. Call the police.โJulian chuckled. โRight. We should call the police.โHe said to Quinn, โPlease call the police, Ms. Crawford.โQuinn was stunned by Julianโs moves. Before the police came, Julian held the robber down and restricted him. Despite the many questions in her head, Quinn di

โIt was best if I was trained to protect myself, so my parents sent me to martial arts classes when I was only a few years old. I was talented and became highly skilled in it after about ten years.โOf course, Iโll still be at a disadvantage when many people come at me all at once. If it werenโt for you rescuing me the night I ran into the motorcycle gang, I wouldโve been in trouble.โNo matter what, you saved my life. Although you have a noble character and refused my offer to return the favor, I donโt want to stay indebted to you. I was only trying to repay you by registering as a member at your gym and paying you via fees.โSorry for lying to you, Ms. Crawford.โQuinn stared at Julian and he grew nervous from her stare. He was scared she would be furious at his deceptions. Besides, his explanation was still a lie. The only truth was that he was skilled in martial arts. โWere you using your friendโs lying story to test my limits about being lied to?โQuinn was a straightforw

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.

โYou should have gotten rid of them all back then and cultivated a network of people loyal only to you.โ Manny felt that his father should not have spared those people in the first place.Tony said, โThere were too many of them, all relatives and friends with the same goal as us. We couldnโt eliminate them all at once.โBack 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 familyโs 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 Tonyโs call as he walked toward his car.โHey, Pops.โโHowโs it going, Manny? Has there been any progress?โTony was still in Carrieโs 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 mistressโa 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. Longbottomโs place and becoming the real missus

Tati also finished her plate of pastries.She followed Isabella out.โIsa, youโre always so busy and exhausted. If youโre 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. Itโs the same either way.โTati wanted Isabella to take the day off so Isabella could spend some time with Austin and nurture their relationship.However, Isabella still declined Tatiโs kind offer.She said, โNot today. Thereโs an important meeting today, and I have two important clients to meet. Iโm fine, really. Donโt worry. From now on, I wonโt touch alcohol.โGiven 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 someoneโs 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, โItโs all thanks to Ms. Isabellaโs guidance.โHe 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.โAfter eating the sweets, I feel much better.โ 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.โJust ignore him. Are you really going to skip work because of him?โIsabella added calmly to Tati, โIf you let him provoke you, heโll only cling to you even more. If you act like he doesnโt exist and donโt respond no matter what he does, heโll naturally give up once he sees that youโre completely unresponsive.โTati said, โIโm afraid that heโll go and bother Edith and Eleanor if he doesnโt get anywhere with me. They donโt have the same resolve as we do.โShe, therefore, decided to bear the brunt of it.โEvery time I see hi

Austin replied, โBoth Mr. Louis and Mr. Phillip woke up very early, especially Mr. Phillip. He gets up earlier than Mr. Louis every morning. Itโs really hard on him, getting up so early in such cold weather.โSometimes, he himself felt like staying in bed a little longer, reluctant to leave the warm comfort of his blankets.Even after the New Year, Satbury remained quite cold. In contrast, over in Wiltspoon, the temperatures had begun to reach a high of over seventy degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime, with nighttime lows around fifty degrees.The two provinces and cities were simply incomparable. The temperatures in Wiltspoon were just so very comfortable for Satbury locals.Isabella smiled and said, โPhillip is just afraid heโll get here too late and that youโll assume heโs not coming over for breakfast, then not prepare any for him. He's such a little foodie.โThe house was never short of snacks for the little ones. In fact, any goodies were always reserved for them first.Yet,

Even when she attended banquets, she would show up in formal clothing. Isabella did not remember the last time she wore a dress. Perhaps it was when she was in third grade. In fact, she liked wearing pretty princessy dresses when she was young. Her mother had told her that.As Isabella was the first child and extremely adorable, Delphine had dolled her up like a princess. Her pretty dresses filled the closet. Her parents, aunts, uncles, and relatives would always gift her many beautiful dresses. As she grew up, perhaps when she was in fourth grade, she stopped wearing dresses. Regardless of who gave her new pieces, she would refuse to wear them and give them to her cousins instead. After everyone realized she disliked dresses, they gradually stopped giving her them. Delphine had asked Isabella why she disliked wearing dresses. Isabella reasoned that she could not walk quickly enough while wearing one. She valued speed and efficiency. Delphine said she had alway

While the private chefs Ms. Isabella had hired in the past were respectful, they were leaning toward flattery instead of sincere dedication, like how Austin was toward Ms. Isabella.Dominic was experienced. He could sense that Ms. Isabella treated Austin differently. She was also a special existence to Austin. It was normal for young people to be attracted to each other. Initially, Dominic wanted to advise Austin not to even think about dating Ms. Isabella. However, upon discovering that Austin was a young master of a wealthy family, he decided not to interfere. Dominic was glad that he did nothing.Austin returned to the house. Instead of heading straight to the kitchen, he went upstairs. He stopped outside of Isabellaโs room and knocked on the door lightly. No response came from within the room. Perhaps Austin was too soft when he knocked. He knocked on the door again with more force and asked, โAre you up yet, Ms. Isabella? Itโs time to have breakfast.โIsabella w
