Mrs. Caron turned to look at Kiera and asked, “What do you mean by apathy?”
“Julian’s illness is apathy. He will only respond to one woman in his life. If he can’t meet a woman who can make him respond, he will be an eunuch. If he can’t be cured, he can be said to be resigned to his fate.”
Mrs. Caron: “I have lived for decades, and this is the first time I have heard of this disease.
So, if you marry Julian, you don’t have to worry about him changing his heart towards you, and you don’t have to worry about other women crawling into his bed and stealing him from you.”
Kiera replied, “Theoretically, that’s the case. Julian also said that he has no reaction at all when facing other women. After his parents learned about his situation, they arranged blind dates for him every day. When he didn’t go on blind dates, his parents showed him many photos of young girls, hoping that someone would make him react, but to no avail.”
Kiera told her mother everything she knew.
Kiera added, “His parents are worried about his marriage. They are so worried that if he looks at a girl one more time, his parents will think that he is reacting to that girl.”
Mrs. Caron was surprised. She asked, “How did you know that he had a different reaction to you? What did you two do?”
After asking, Mrs. Caron said to her daughter seriously: “Daughter, no matter whether Julian is sincere or fake to you, you should not surrender yourself until the wedding day. Girls should be more pure and self-respecting.”
“My mother often reads some short essays or short videos. Some girls get pregnant before they get married. As a result, their husbands’ families despise them, and the promised bride price is either lowered or cancelled. You won’t be happy if you marry someone like this. People look down upon you.
You shouldn’t go too far with Julian because, although I’m not saying I’m old-fashioned and incapable of keeping up with your young people’s trends, as a mother, I don’t want to see my daughter detested by the family of her future husband. Even if you are engaged, you still have to keep it. When you get the marriage certificate and become a legal couple, even if you haven’t held the wedding yet, mom won’t care about you anymore.”
Mrs. Caron was worried that her daughter was young and impulsive and had no relationship experience. Although Julian had not had a girlfriend in the past, he was older and had been in the business world for more than ten years. He had seen and understood more things than Kiera.

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Please use the English names as it is difficult to read and connect....
I am very greatful of your hard work in translating the novel in English, is there any chance you could use the character’s name in English please, it’s hard to follow the story with Chinese names. Thanks...
Please use correct names and watch the repeating of pages....
Thank you for the story, its going on well, however the changing of names somehow makes it difficult to follow. Even learning the new ones that you have tried to match, it is extremely difficult to follow and enjoy the drama while trying to go back to rechecking who we are talking about. The title is still Married at first sight (Serenity and Zachary) but they no longer exist in the whole picture. You created a dynamic community which I am sure everyone felt they lived and travelled with. We appreciate all the effort and your insight. I am very grateful for this novel is very captivating....
Please continue using Zachary,. Serenity,Duncan, Liberty etc . You jumped 30 updates and changed names where I'm unable to follow the story and losing interest. This is a great disservice to your loyal readers....
Changing names ruins the whole story. Whoever heard of such a thing....
Please use the old names, the new names are too confusing...

Yangyang = Sonny; Uncle Lu = Duncan; Liberty=Liberty; Haitong/Tongtong = serenity ; Zhan Yin= Zachary; Ning Siqi= Cameron Sister Carrie;...
