Chapter 2868

Author: Gu Lingfei
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

    Julian said indulgently, “If you like them, I’ll give you flowers every day from now on.“Why don’t I go to the gym with you now to grab the flowers?”Quinn said, “Let’s go and get them. You don’t have to give me flowers every day. Just occasionally as a surprise will do. It’ll lose its novelty if I get flowers every day.”Julian chuckled. “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”He gave her flowers, but she thought of flower pancakes instead.Julian was afraid too that if he gave her a bouquet every day, she would only have flower pancakes on her mind and not think of how much he loved her.Women liked two things the most—having money and the freedom to spend it at will.He could give her money folded into flowers so that she had money to spend.“Let’s go shopping for clothes first. I want to buy an outfit for you.”Quinn felt that she had to give him something in return for the bouquet of flowers he had given her.Thus, she decided to give him a thick coat.“You want to buy an outfit f

    Mark glanced at Quinn. Seeing that she seemed normal, he lamented to himself that no matter how he looked at it, the two of them did not seem like lovers. Quinn still saw Julian as a buddy, did she not?And what on earth was Julian afflicted with?Zoey had cut some fruit. When she saw the two come in, she called, “I’ve just finished cutting some fruits. Come have some since you guys are back.”“Quinn bought me some clothes.”Julian was all smiles as he walked over to his future brothers-in-law with the bags in hand and sat beside them before starting to show off the clothes Quinn bought for him.Quinn felt her face heat up as she watched him show off and knew without looking in a mirror that she was blushing. She did not even sit down and said to her family, “Mom, Will, Mark, I’m heading upstairs to rest first.”Then she went upstairs with the bouquet of flowers in her arms.She did not want her family to see her blushing shyly.Quinn’s brothers were very accommodating to Julia

    Walter checked the time and said, “We are a little bit early. If this was summertime, most people would be up by now. Why don’t we wait in the car for a while before knocking on the door?”Stacy said, “I’ll call Julian to wake him up first.”Then she proceeded to do just that.Julian had just started kissing Quinn in his dream and had not gotten a deeper taste of it yet when he was woken by the piercing sound of his ringing phone. When he woke up, he touched his lips, reminiscing about the kiss in his dream, and then realized it had been a dream.It was not real.Although Quinn had not run away and graciously faced his confession head-on, she had said she needed to think about it.She had not given an immediate response to his feelings.It was just that the dream had been so sweet. Damn the phone call. Who was the insensible person who called him so early in the morning and interrupted his sweet dream?Julian instantly felt irritated.Grabbing his phone, he picked up the call

    Julian chuckled. “You always look okay. Don’t worry, there’s no need to be nervous. My parents are very easygoing.”“I’m not nervous! I just think that I should look presentable for our first meeting even if I don’t dress up. I’ll get the door.”As Quinn said so, she rushed out and made her way through the yard to open the gate before Julian could.A black van was parked at the gate.When they saw her open the gate, someone in the van wound the window down and soon, someone got out of the car. It was a beautiful middle-aged woman who looked somewhat similar to Julian. She could tell without asking that this was Julian’s mother.Quinn internally gasped about how Stacy had taken such good care of herself that she looked like she was Julin’s elder sister. When the two stood next to each other, they did not look like they were mother and son at all.Stacy walked over with a small smile. “You must be Quinn. I’ve seen a photo of you before. Hello, I’m Julian’s mother.”“Hi, Mrs. Buc

    In truth, Julian had hidden that matter from his parents, but his parents were not ordinary people. They knew everything he did but just did not say anything about it.When Zoey, who had been watching from the door, saw her daughter lead two strangers who resembled Julian in. She quickly guessed their identities.She hurriedly pushed open the doors of the main house.When Stacy spotted Zoey, she nearly called Zoey her future in-law.The words were almost out of her mouth, but she quickly stopped herself for fear of frightening her future in-laws with the suddenness of it all.Zoey had not expected Julian’s parents to come here.She mused to herself about how her husband and eldest son had just left for the airport to fly to Wiltspoon and find out more about their characters, though it was good that they had come. Then her husband would not be discovered trying to find out about the Buchams and it would not be too embarrassing.The Crawfords were quite satisfied with Julian.If

    Julian felt like he was probably just a tool for his parents to get grandchildren.“So many of them? Then we can roast the sweet potatoes ourselves to eat. The ones they sell outside are too expensive.”As expected, Quinn really liked this gift.The van door was still open and Quinn walked over to take a look inside. She exclaimed, “Are these all sweet potatoes?”She picked up a sack, not knowing if they were sweet potatoes or yams, and carried it in. Soon, Mark came out to help as well.The three young adults had to go back and forth several times before they finally managed to finish moving all the local produce from the van to the Crawfords’ hall.The expensive wines and cheeses had been stuffed into one of the sacks.Julian thought his parents had only brought some local produce over, but then again with these gifts, Zoey would not feel burdened, especially since the Buchams were giving them under the guise of thanking them.Since the Bucham couple was visiting, Quinn and

    Zachary was also worried that Serenity would go into premature labor out of shock. He also persuaded her to go for her checkup in a gentle voice. They could not do anything but wait anyway.Serenity finally decided to conduct her prenatal checkup first. Zachary accompanied her. Just moments after they left, the door to the delivery suite opened. A nurse stood there and shouted, “Is Jasmine Sox’s husband here?”“Yes. I’m her husband,” replied Josh quickly. He dashed to the nurse. “You must save Jas, doctor. Save the mother no matter what.”His family members behind him also echoed, “That’s right. No matter what happens, you have to save Jasmine.”The nurse said, “The mother is fine. It’s just that she wants her husband to accompany her as she’s in a lot of pain.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Josh was about to rush inside but was stopped by the nurse.She asked him to change his clothes before taking him inside the delivery suite.Jasmine was wailing in pain.

    With advanced medical technology, a premature baby could still be healthy if taken good care of in the incubator. Serenity said, “Jasmine should be at thirty-five weeks. I just don’t understand why she would suddenly go into labor. Did she fall at home?“Or did she eat something that made her go into labor?”Zachary said, “That’s most likely not the case. Josh’s cousin is Jasmine’s dietician and keeps an eye on her food every day. There’s no way Jasmine would’ve eaten something bad unless she ate it secretly.”Serenity and Zachary suddenly went silent. Pregnant women had weird appetites. Once they had a craving, they could not go unsatisfied. Sometimes, they would even crave fruits that were not in season. Serenity herself was one of them. Once, she woke up in the middle of the night craving mac and cheese. Of course, Zachary, the ever-doting husband, had to satisfy her request. However, where could he find mac and cheese at that hour?Ultimately, he had to drive to the

    People would reap what they had sown. They would have to bear the consequences of their actions. Sometimes, interfering in another person’s fate would backfire. After chatting for some time, Serenity said, “I have to go for my checkup now, Liberty. Let’s talk again when you’re free another day.“By the way, I’ll get someone to bring Sonny to you this weekend. He misses you.”“Okay,” said Liberty. After the call ended, Serenity put her phone into her bag and stood up. She told the man behind the office desk, “It’s almost time, babe. Let’s go.”“Okay. I’m almost done.”Zachary quickly signed and stamped a document before closing it. He walked over with the document in hand. Serenity and Zachary left the office together. He handed the document to his secretary. The secretary did not expect him to pass the document to him personally. He had thought of entering Zachary’s office to request it later. The secretary watched Zachary and Serenity leave. He could not believe

    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

    “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
