Chapter 2281
It was Julian’s first time being attracted to someone. He could no longer contain his emotions. “Dad, Mom, I didn’t want you to find out so soon because I was afraid your enthusiasm might scare Quinn. However, you misunderstood that I had feelings for Ms. Stone and came to ask for her hand in marriage without my permission. Hence, I have no choice but to tell you about Quinn to put your minds at ease.“You’ll definitely have a daughter-in-law, but it won’t be Ms. Stone. Please stop disturbing her from now on.”After Julian spoke to his parents, he apologized to Elisa. “Sorry for all the disturbance and trouble I’ve caused during this period. I had no choice but to do this for Andrew because I lost to him in a bet.“Don’t blame Andrew. He was just scared of Mrs. Stone.”Since the news of Julian’s love interest had satisfied Elisa’s curiosity, she was no longer angry. Besides, Serenity had also come clean and told her the truth. Even if Elisa had been furious, her anger had dissi

More importantly, the man Elisa loved was Remy. In the past, Elisa would follow Zachary around but he spared her no glance. After finding out that he and Serenity had gotten married, she stopped her feelings for him from growing and finally let go of them to start a new relationship. Darrell wanted his daughter to be happy. Unfortunately, he had a strict wife, so he could not be overt with his stance considering Audrey’s huge reaction. “Dad, Mom, I promised Quinn I’ll treat her and her students to a meal in the afternoon. I have to rush over as it’s almost time. Please clean up this mess. Also, I can handle my relationship with Quinn. You don’t have to interfere.“Anyway, your daughter-in-law won’t be able to escape. Trust your son.”Upon hearing that, Walter and Stacy quickly urged him, “Hurry. Don’t be late and go treat Quinn to lunch.”“We promise not to meddle as long as you can manage it.”They would let Julian savor the sweet taste of love, and he would experience eve

“I’m not angry anymore,” Elisa expressed and looked toward her parents. Audrey said embarrassedly, “Speaking of this, this problem happened because of me. It’s not your fault. Since you said the gifts are an apology, Mr. Bucham, we’ll accept them.”Stacy smiled and said, “Although we couldn’t be in-laws, Elisa had indirectly brought Quinn to Julian. We’re very grateful for that. Let’s keep in touch frequently from now on.”The Buchams had a close relationship with the Yorks. While they were not enemies with the Stones, York Corporation and Stone Group were business rivals. Therefore, the Buchams’ connection with the Stone family was merely acquaintances. Nevertheless, the York and Stone families ended up getting along well. Since their companies had no business collaborations, the competition between them had also eased. Even if the Buchams were to interact with the Stones frequently, they did not have to worry about the Yorks being offended—all because the York and Stone famil

When the children heard there were presents for them, they first looked at Quinn. Only when Quinn did not object that they followed Julian excitedly. Julian opened the car door and reached into the car to bring out the gifts. He told them, “Your names are written on the gift box.”Quinn heard him as she walked over. Surprised, she asked, “How do you know their names, Mr. Bucham?”She only told him that she had brought twelve children to Wiltspoon for the competition and that there were six boys and girls, respectively. She never mentioned their names.Julian said, “You said you all came for a competition. I had someone look into it and found the children’s names. Everyone has a gift, and each is unique. They can hold onto the gifts and unbox them after the meal.”The children were delighted to receive presents that were luxuriously wrapped.Julian had left his assistants in charge of the gifts. The attentive assistants looked into the children’s preferences and prepared their gi

Quinn replied with a hum. Even though she felt the car looked brand new, as if fresh out of the factory, she did not probe because Julian said this was a car from his garage.Quinn supposed it looked new as Julian rarely drove such an inconspicuous car. He probably would not buy a new car just to transport the presents, right?Julian brought Quinn and the children to a private room he reserved. After everyone was seated, he gestured for the waiter to hand the menu to Quinn. Quinn said, “The children and I aren’t picky, Mr. Bucham. You’re probably more familiar with what’s good here, so it’s better if you order.”“Haven’t you been having your meals in the hotel?”“We have, but we usually eat in the buffet hall on the first floor. I think there’s more variety there. Everyone can eat whatever they want, and the children like it too. I told them to take only as much as they could eat and not waste any food.”Julian grinned. “You’re right. We shouldn’t waste food and take only a

“You saved my life, Ms. Crawford. Treating you to a meal isn’t enough. I should return the favor with much more,” Julian said.Quinn changed the topic, saying, “How are the robbers doing now? How many years of jail time will they get?”“They’re all in prison now. I’m not sure how long their sentence will be, but it’ll be several years at least for robbery.”Julian did not even bat an eye as he lied. His subordinates were indeed somewhere. They were not in prison though, they were receiving treatment at the hospital. They were either beaten up by Quinn or injured from a fall. Simply speaking, Quinn had defeated all of his subordinates. They were in awe of their future missus. Quinn said, “You were unlucky. I heard Wiltspoon is a safe place. There haven’t been motorcycle gangs in many years, but you just happened to meet one of them.”Julian laughed. “I think they’re the ones who got unlucky. They ran into you, the chivalrous Ms. Crawford, as soon as they appeared. You saved

Quinn was tempted.She said, “I’ll think about it. It’s someone else’s house. We’ll be a disturbance if we have fun there.”More importantly, she had to bring twelve students everywhere with her. She could not ditch them and have fun herself.“It’s really fine. If you’re worried about the noise, I can send Zachary a message for his opinion now.”Julian was going all out to secure time with Quinn.He immediately sent a message to Zachary.However, he typed another message before that. He told Zachary he was pursuing someone, asked for his help, and requested him not to reveal his identity.Quinn was likely clueless about the Buchams’ background.Julian did not want her to find out as he was afraid of scaring her off.If Quinn discovered the Bucham family’s true nature and that he was the young master, she would have guessed that he had her investigated before.Her impression of him would be ruined.Quinn was the only woman in the world who could move his heart and make him a

Zachary grabbed Serenity’s shoulders and let her lean against him. Wanting to please her, he said, “Honey, let’s go on a holiday soon, okay? Just the two of us.”“Where are we going?”Serenity’s attention was successfully diverted. “We’ll remain in Wiltspoon, but we’re going to another estate I own that you haven’t been to.”“Aren’t we going to wait until after the wedding? If we can’t go someplace far, our honeymoon can be a drive around Wiltspoon.”Zachary remembered that their wedding ceremony would be held after their anniversary. Although both occasions could be celebrated together, they held different meanings. He said, “It’ll be a two-day holiday. We can go on a drive after our wedding too. I have one month off.”“I can imagine how furious Josh will get.”“I granted him two months off when he got married while only taking a month off for myself now. He shouldn’t be angry about this.”Serenity smiled. “Okay. You can make the necessary arrangements.”She knew Zachary wan
