Chapter 2444
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 Buchams’ 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, “Did that friend of yours lie to the person he likes or a friend?”“He lied to the woman he fell in love with at first sight. He opened up to me because he didn’t know what to do. I didn’t 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.”“My advice is not to lie about feelings. Although I’ve never dated someone, I think I’ll beat my boyfriend up and never contact each other again if he deceives me.”Julian was shocked. Quinn was more ruthless than Serenity. After swal

Upon giving it some thought, Julian agreed with Quinn. He said, “Being honest with the person you love is crucial. Thank you, Ms. Crawford. I’ll talk to my friend and tell him not to keep a secret anymore.”Quinn smiled. “You don’t 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.“You can talk to your friend. If he doesn’t accept your suggestion, you don’t have to continue persuading him. You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.”Julian 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, “Do you need more rest, Mr. Bucham?”“It’s almost noon. I think I’ll 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 robber’s wrist trembled, and the blade was turned toward her neck. Suddenly, a hand appeared to grab the robber’s 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 robber’s 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 robber’s face rubbed against the floor and bled. He shouted, “Call 911. Help. Call the police.”Julian chuckled. “Right. We should call the police.”He said to Quinn, “Please call the police, Ms. Crawford.”Quinn was stunned by Julian’s moves. Before the police came, Julian held the robber down and restricted him. Despite the many questions in her head, Quinn di

“It 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.“Of course, I’ll still be at a disadvantage when many people come at me all at once. If it weren’t for you rescuing me the night I ran into the motorcycle gang, I would’ve been in trouble.“No matter what, you saved my life. Although you have a noble character and refused my offer to return the favor, I don’t 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.“Sorry for lying to you, Ms. Crawford.”Quinn 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. “Were you using your friend’s lying story to test my limits about being lied to?”Quinn was a straightforw

“We gather intel for people. My family is huge, and we’re good at collecting information. Since we often help others to gather information, some people get offended.”Quinn blinked and smiled. “So you’re a private investigator?”“Something similar.”“Is it profitable?”Julian said, “Pretty much.”He found her question funny, and his affection for her deepened. Well, he did fall in love with her at first sight, but his love grew deeper with every look at her. She was the only person who could make his heart beat fast. Julian had to hold himself back every time he saw her to prevent himself from making any weird moves. Only the heavens knew how much he wished to hug and kiss her. He had never experienced hugging or kissing a woman despite being over thirty years old. No matter how beautiful or sexy other women looked, his body had never reacted to them. It was only Quinn whom he desired. “You have a huge family… By the way, is Mr. York’s right-hand man, the one I saw dur

Meanwhile at Wildridge Manor, Serenity returned to her room. The wedding decorations were still up. Although it felt as if a long time had passed, returning to the room reminded her that it had only been half a day since her wedding.While chatting with the manor’s employees with Grandma May, she had the opportunity to listen to some gossip. She suddenly knew why Grandma May enjoyed interacting with the employees. The old lady simply wanted to listen to the exciting stories. Grandma May could hang out with the employees every day only due to her retired lifestyle and advanced age, whereas Serenity had to continue working hard as she was still young. Otherwise, she could have found joy in such life too.When she got older, she would retire alongside Zachary and travel the world while they could still walk around. After that, she could learn from Grandma May and initiate conversations with their employees from time to time, as well as get some juicy gossip. Those days would be in

Serenity sat up and hugged Zachary. “It must’ve been tough on you, babe.”“Anything for you. I hope you can leave all the hard work to me. I want you to have a happy life without worries.”“Do you think I’m Sonny, who has nothing to worry about? Alright, go wash up. We’ll be having lunch soon. Everyone’s up already. Aren’t you hungry after sleeping for the entire morning?”Serenity nudged and urged him to get ready. Zachary got off the bed reluctantly and walked toward the bathroom. He said, “You’ve become less clingy, Seren. In the past, you’ve always wanted to spend an hour in the room with me. Now you’re urging me to leave just after a few minutes.”Serenity was speechless and embarrassed. Whenever she woke him up in the past, they would spend up to an hour in the room before heading out because he would convince her to make babies with him. Despite his serious appearance, he was passionate in bed. She was unable to resist him and would end up begging him to let her go.“

Looking into his beloved wife’s lustrous eyes as she scrutinized his physique from head to toe, Zachary felt a bit uneasy.Just as he was about to speak, Serenity spoke first. He listened as she said, “With your physique and face, Zachary, if you were to dress as a woman, you might just be a stunning beauty.“However, your stature is too tall, and though your features are gorgeous, they are also rugged and sharply defined. Dressing as a woman might not suit you, unlike Kevin, whose features are a bit softer. When he puts on women’s clothing and makeup, he can easily pass as a woman.”Zachary had already guessed that this was what his wife was thinking. He straightened up and said, “I’m a big guy with a strong build. How would I fit in as a woman, Seren? Let’s not compare to Kevin. He leaves no room for us men. He can do things like dressing as a woman to please Hayden. It’s astonishing.”Serenity smiled and replied, “I have to admit that what he did truly moved Hayden. Hayden told
