Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2872

Mark glanced at Quinn. Seeing that she seemed normal, he lamented to himself that no matter how he looked at it, the two of them did not seem like lovers. Quinn still saw Julian as a buddy, did she not?

And what on earth was Julian afflicted with?

Zoey had cut some fruit. When she saw the two come in, she called, “I’ve just finished cutting some fruits. Come have some since you guys are back.”

“Quinn bought me some clothes.”

Julian was all smiles as he walked over to his future brothers-in-law with the bags in hand and sat beside them before starting to show off the clothes Quinn bought for him.

Quinn felt her face heat up as she watched him show off and knew without looking in a mirror that she was blushing. She did not even sit down and said to her family, “Mom, Will, Mark, I’m heading upstairs to rest first.”

Then she went upstairs with the bouquet of flowers in her arms.

She did not want her family to see her blushing shyly.

Quinn’s brothers were very accommodating to Julian showing off. When Julian boasted about the coat Quinn bought for him, they praised Quinn’s eye for style and said Julian looked very cool in it, and that it was thick and must feel very warm while wearing it.

Then, they said that Quinn rarely bought clothes for them despite being her siblings.

In short, those few pieces of clothing made Julian’s heart burst with joy as he tasted the sweetness of love and the happiness his friends used to feel at being gifted something by the person they loved despite it not being very valuable.

In the end, the Crawford brothers did not manage to ask Julian what he was afflicted with.

Will had already booked the flight tickets. First thing the next morning, he and Dave would be taking a flight to Wiltspoon. They wanted to find out more about the Buchams’ characters in secret and also wanted to know what Julian’s illness was.

They were afraid that if they asked Julian to his face, Julian would not speak the truth.

It was better if they tried to find out by themselves.

These were not very valuable but were down-to-earth. They felt that their future-in-laws would definitely like these as gifts very much and would accept them.

Plus, Zoey was from their region. She probably liked gifts like these the most after having moved away for decades after marriage.

The couple drove a seven-seater van up to the entrance of the Crawfords’ home, the car filled with their “down-to-earth” gifts.

“Hubby, do you think we arrived a bit too early? Look, their lights aren’t even turned on yet.”

There were very few pedestrians on the road as well.

Perhaps it was because it was too cold in Summervale early in the morning. Everyone was still lazing in bed—except for those who had to go to work.

When Walter and Stacy saw how dark the Crawfords’ home looked, they realized they might have arrived too early and might disturb their sleep.
