Second Marriage The Billionaire's Planned Love (Quinn and Julian) novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124 Dinner Plans

Julian isn’t picky?

Quinn found that hard to believe.

Someone like Julian had probably grown up surrounded by the best of everything.

The best schools. The best neighborhoods. A life filled with polished manners and effortless authority. Everything about him spoke of wealth and status.

That was exactly why Quinn felt like he belonged to a completely different world.

If she was going to treat him to dinner, the restaurant had to be good.

She simply couldn’t picture Julian sitting in a cramped, rundown diner.

So she asked Lucy to pick a place Julian had probably been before. Somewhere nice, somewhere he actually enjoy.

Lucy hesitated.

ight

“This place is going to cost a lot,” she said. “You work really hard for your money. Maybe we should choose somewhere cheaper?”

Quinn shook her head.

“No, let’s keep this one.”

She smiled lightly. “It’s okay. Money can be earned again. Besides, if we’re inviting Julian, we should at least show some sincerity.”

She continued, “He let us see that incredible jewelry collection. Experiences like that are priceless.”

Lucy nodded.

“True.”

She grinned. “Alright then. We’re sticking with it.”

A little before six, Lucy called from the living room. “Quinn, come on. Julian’s here.”

Julian had come straight from the office.

He was wearing a perfectly tailored suit, looking composed and distant again, the relaxed side of him from the other night completely gone.

Lucy pushed Quinn toward the car first as usual, then headed to the front passenger seat.

Quinn stepped in with one foot and suddenly realized something.

Julian was sitting in the back seat. A driver was behind the wheel today. Lucy noticed it too, but she still nudged Quinn fully into the car.

“Same rule as always,” she said cheerfully. “I take the front seat.”

Quinn had already gotten in, so getting back out would have been awkward.

Fortunately they sat on opposite sides of the back seat, leaving a noticeable space between them

Still, Quinn felt extremely uncomfortable.

She cleared her throat politely. “Mr. Sterling.”

Julian responded with a quiet hum.

Lucy turned around from the front seat. “Julian, Quinn is basically going broke treating you tonight.”

Quinn immediately protested.

“Lucy, please don’t say it like that.”

Lucy laughed. “I’m reminding Julian not to order half the menu. That place is expensive.”

Quinn felt slightly embarrassed. She knew Lucy meant well, but she didn’t want Julian getting the wrong idea.

“It’s really fine,” Quinn said quickly. “Order whatever you like, Mr. Sterling. Don’t listen to her.”

Lucy burst out laughing. “Quinn, the way you said that almost sounds like you’re spoiling Julian.”

Quinn’s face instantly turned bright red. “W–what are you talking about?”

Letting him order whatever he wanted had absolutely nothing to do with spoiling him.

Lucy could really stretch things sometimes.

Julian frowned slightly. “Lucy, that’s enough.”

Lucy immediately stopped talking.

Well.

She had just been trying to lighten the mood so Quinn wouldn’t feel so nervous. Clearly it wasn’t working.

Lucy made a zipper motion across her lips and sat properly in her seat.

It was Quinn’s first time at this restaurant. In fact, she had never even heard of it before.

From the outside it looked elegant but fairly understated. Once they stepped inside, however, it felt like entering another world.

The interior was stunning.

The waitstaff wore sleek black evening uniforms, tall and polished, looking more like event hosts than

servers.

Julian walked ahead while the restaurant owner personally came out to greet him and hold the door. Quinn suddenly felt a painful squeeze in her chest.

My wallet is going to suffer tonight.

The private dining room was beautifully designed with dark wood shelves and decorative displays.

Lucy leaned closer to Quinn and whispered, “Those collectibles are real. Don’t bump into anything.”

Quinn blinked in surprise. “Seriously?”

Lucy nodded.

“Yep. Maybe not museum level expensive, but definitely authentic pieces. The owner is rich and loves showing them off.”

Quinn realized once again how little she understood about the world of wealthy people.

A server placed a gold embossed menu in front of Julian.

Julian looked up at them. “You two order.”

Quinn quickly shook her head. “You should order first, Mr. Sterling. I’m not sure what you like.”

Lucy waved her phone. “Julian, just order what you want. Quinn and I will look at the menu on the app.”

The restaurant obviously had a digital menu.

The two girls leaned together, scrolling through the options.

Julian ordered a few house specialties. Then he heard Lucy whisper loudly beside Quinn.

“This one is amazing, but wow it’s expensive.

“Quinn, you like desserts. What about this? Wait, why is that also so expensive?

“Everything here costs a fortune. My heart hurts.”

Quinn couldn’t help laughing.

Lucy had grown up wealthy and had never needed to worry about money.

But when she was around Quinn, she always tried to keep things relaxed and considerate,

There was none of the spoiled attitude people might expect from a rich girl.

Quinn cherished that friendship deeply. The dishes she chose were mostly Lucy’s favorites.

Julian rubbed his forehead lightly and added two more dishes.

Julian was a VIP at this restaurant, so the owner had already instructed the kitchen to prioritize their order

The food arrived quickly.

19:55 Tue, Jun 2 M.

Lucy dug in happily while still talking. “Julian, you ordered so much. This is going to cost a fortune.”
