Initially, he wanted to agree to her statement, but he forcibly changed his words. “Maybe we should try another gown?”

“Another gown?”

Quinn was momentarily taken aback. Soon, she saw that Julius had chosen one that was designed to cover the body completely from the collection of gowns. “How about this one?” he suggested.

If I were to dress in this kind of gown, I fear I might trip over it before anything happens to me. “Is there something wrong with the one I chose?”

In fact, there was nothing wrong with the gown. On the contrary, it was perfect for her. However, it was this very perfection that scared him. He feared that too many people would notice her beauty, and that other men might start having designs on her.

Julius was silent, stunned by the thought that had just flashed through his mind.

He had never cared about what women wore or whether their outfits would attract others‘ attention.

Yet, when it came to Quinn, he felt a sense of unease. He was afraid that she might attract other men and that her gaze might be directed at other men, and she would no longer spare him a glance.

“If there’s nothing wrong with it, then I’ll stick with the gown I’ve chosen for tomorrow,” Quinn insisted.

Just as she was about to turn around and change into her own clothes, she suddenly heard Julius‘ voice coming from behind her.

“Quinnie, it seems I care about you more than I ever thought I did.”

“What?” Quinn turned around, thinking she must have misheard.

The following evening, Quinn accompanied Julius to the banquet.

The banquet was hosted by the Yarburn Chamber of Commerce. The guests primarily included government officials involved with island development, along with the wealthy merchants and prominent figures of Yarburn.

Julius was naturally invited since the Whitethorn family was also participating in the island development project.

Quinn, arm in arm with Julius, mingled with some of the big shots at the banquet.

As she and Julius were heading toward the center of the banquet, suddenly, a voice that was once incredibly familiar, echoed from behind her.

“Quinn!”

She paused in her tracks, recognizing the voice.

Quinn slowly turned around and saw Trent standing a few steps away from her. Next to him stood Sidonie.

Wasn’t she supposed to take her parents‘ ashes back to Yarburn? Why is she here with Julius?

Or could it be that her decisive divorce back then was because she had set her sights on someone more prestigious, Julius?

Smack!

With a baffled look on her face, she watched as Julius calmly pulled a handkerchief from his suit pocket, leisurely wiping his right hand.
