Chapter 110 The Future
After a moment of silence, she finally spoke. “If you’re willing, you could provide a wonderful and warm home for your future children when you get married.”
Get married and have kids? An intriguing thought crossed Julius‘ mind.
In the past, he never imagined himself settling down and starting a family. After all, his parents‘ marriage had left him with nothing but distaste.
As for having children… he had no need for them at all.
But at that moment, when he heard those words from her… “So, are you going to marry me and have children?” The question was simply blurted out from his mouth.
Quinn was taken aback, choking on her own spit. “What… What did you just say?”
“Do you want to try settling down and starting a family with me?” His expression was casual, as if he were discussing something completely ordinary.
Quinn lifted her hand and rubbed her temples, sighing inwardly. Fine. His mind is evidently sometimes too erratic, making it somewhat hard to keep up with.
“I just got divorced, and I have no plans to remarry anytime soon, let alone…” She paused, then continued, “I don’t believe marriage and having children are things you can just give a try. Especially when it comes to kids, once you bring them into the world, you’re responsible for their lives. It’s not something you can experiment with, something you can return if you’re not satisfied!”
“Is that so?” He lowered his gaze, seemingly lost in thought.
“All right. Let’s head back to the banquet hall,” Quinn suggested, taking the lead as she turned around.
“Quinn!” Julius suddenly called out from behind her, “Everything I said in front of Trent was true. I’m ready to be with you whenever you want, and I’ll give you anything you desire!”
Quinn paused in her tracks, turning to look at Julius.
The tree shadows rustled, and clusters of fragrant blossoms bloomed upon the vines.
The silver moonlight spilled over him, casting an additional layer of aloofness onto his handsome features.
On his face, the usual lack of expression was present. Yet, there was a certain intensity in his gaze, a kind she had never witnessed before. This intensity contrasted sharply with the cool aloofness that enveloped him at that moment.
It was as if he was conveying to her that he was serious about what he said.
At that moment, all she had to do was give a slight nod, and she could become Julius‘ girlfriend.
And everything she desired, this man would gladly offer to her.
Even though the idea seemed absurd when she thought about it, at that moment, Quinn truly felt this way.
“Would you?” Julius‘ lips moved slowly, his husky voice gently resonating in the quiet garden.

Quinn and Julius locked eyes.
His gaze, under the moonlight, shimmered with ripples, as if it could effortlessly bewitch one’s heart.
She could feel that, at this very moment, all it would take was for her to say “yes,” and perhaps, her life would take a dramatic turn.
“I don’t want to,” she responded.
His brows furrowed slightly. “Why? Do you still have feelings for Trent?”
“No,” she replied, “I no longer have any feelings for Trent. My reluctance is because I don’t love you right now. Besides, whatever I want, I’ll strive for it myself.”
Julius pursed his lips.
When he heard her say she didn’t love him, a sense of loss surged within him, a feeling so profound he couldn’t even put it into words.
A long time ago, after he stopped yearning for his parents‘ love, he likewise stopped yearning for anyone else’s love.
However, it seemed as if he was yearning for her love now.
“What about in the future?” he asked.
“In the future, I-”
Before Quinn could even finish her sentence, Julius abruptly silenced her with a press of his index finger to her lips.
“You don’t have to answer me,” he said softly, afraid that her response might not be what he wanted to hear.
I would rather not to listen to her reply at all!
Quinn was taken aback. At that moment, she could feel a finger resting against her lips, cool to the touch. Yet, her lips seemed to be burning up.
Sidonie and Trent returned to their hotel room.
After leaving the banquet, Trent remained silent, which only intensified Sidonie’s growing unease.
“Trent, Quinn has really crossed the line,” Sidonie said, “She just got divorced, and she’s already clinging onto Julius. Marley told me that ever since Quinn arrived in Yarburn, she’s been sticking to Julius. These past few days, they’ve been inseparable, as if she can’t wait for everyone to know that she’s involved with Julius.”
Trent was silent, his head lowered.

“Trent?” Sidonie raised her voice.
“Huh?” Only then did Trent return to his senses. “What did you say?”

“Trent?” Sidonie raised her voice.
