“It’s a matter between two families, Julian said. “Zeke will go along with it if he’s being responsible. And the Jinn family will certainly not object”
He briefly told Quinn about the Jinn family.
The main branch of the Jinn family was based in Voss City, while the one in Lakeshore City was a side branch.
But they had grown very successful over the years, working closely with the Croft family.
“One thing Zeke isn’t happy about is that Zoe isn’t the Jinns’ biological daughter.”
Quinn blinked in surprise. “She’s not?”
“No, she’s adopted.”
“Why? Don’t the Jinns have any children of their own?”
“They do,” Julian said. “Zoe has three older brothers, all very capable. I guess they always wanted a daughter to complete the family, so they adopted her.”
Quinn nodded. “I see. They must dote on her, then. Why is Zeke so against it?”
“He just doesn’t want an arranged marriage. That’s just his excuse,” Julian said. “He wants to marry someone he actually likes, but he can never seem to find the right one. Not long ago he told me he’d found his true love, but they broke up within half a year.”
Quinn murmured in understanding.
Julian snorted softly. “His idea of true love doesn’t last very long.”
Quinn rested her head against his chest. “Julian.”
He hummed in response.
“Do
you
think… we’ll ever break up too?”
“Don’t say things like that.” Julian gently tapped her bottom. “We’re nothing like him.”
“People say love only lasts a few months,” Quinn said. “What if we get tired of each other after that?” “Who says it only lasts a few months?” Julian said. “Then what about all the years I’ve loved you? How does that count?”
His words warmed her heart.
She looped her arms around his neck and kissed him. “But we weren’t living together back then…”
“You’re overthinking this.” Julian shifted her so she was straddling him. “These months we’ve been together have flown by. It feels like we’ve only just started, and already it’s been nearly half a year. I always feel like

time is moving too fast. like I don’t get to love you enough.”
Quinn snuggled closer. “Me too.”
“I don’t know what the future holds. But I know this-right now, I love you more than anything.”
“Mm.” Quinn blushed and whispered, “I love you too.”
“Stop worrying. Forget about everyone else. I know my love won’t fade that easily. If I could, I’d spend the rest of my life with you.”
Quinn kissed the corner of his mouth.
“Baby… let’s get married. Please.”
“What are you so afraid of?” Julian pressed his forehead to hers. “Tell me.”
Quinn was quiet for a moment, then spoke softly, “Your family… it all feels so far away from me.”
“What about me? Am I far away?”
“…You were, before.”
“And now?”
“Now… no.”
“My family is just the same as me. Two eyes, one nose-just ordinary people. At most… we have a bigger house, and more staff.”
Julian smiled. “Honestly, my parents are really nice. You’ll see. Come home with me for dinner in a few days?”
“I… I need to think about it.”
Julian didn’t pressure her. “Alright, take your time. No rush.”
He kissed her again. “They already like you.”
“They haven’t even met me.”
“Because I love you,” Julían said. “They’ll love you too, just like I do.”
“But my family…” Quinn hesitated. “You know what my family is like.”
“What does that have to do with anything?” Julian said. “It’s up to you. If you want them at our wedding. they can come. If not, they don’t have to. Don’t worry. I’ve got everything under control.”
Quinn felt a strong, reassuring sense of peace in his presence.
When he said “I’ve got everything under control”, it wrapped her in warmth.
“I understand.” She kissed him voluntarily. “I’ll sort things out first, then let you know.”

“Don’t carry any of this on your own. My family, my company-they’re just parts of my life. You don’t have to care about any of that. Just see me.”
Quinn thought. Just parts? Do you even know how massive your family and company really are?
Julian added, “Then… should I introduce you to Zeke and the others first?”
He had mentioned it a few times already, but Quinn had always thought it was too soon, that they hadn’t been together long enough to meet his friends.
But now they had been dating for several months-it only made sense.
“Okay.”
The second she nodded, Julian immediately texted Zeke to arrange a meetup.
Zeke had been in a terrible mood these days.
