Chapter 99 Do You Like Julius

Trent thought. <i>Why </i><i>did </i><i>she </i><i>utter </i><i>such </i><i>a </i><i>lie </i><i>that </i><i>she </i><i>was </i><i>the </i><i>one </i><i>who </i><i>saved </i><i>me </i><i>back </i><i>in </i><i>the </i><i>day</i>? <i>After </i><i>all</i>, it <i>was </i><i>Sidonie </i>who <i>had </i><i>saved </i><i>me</i><i>. </i>
Ever since her parents wereid to rest at the Hero’s Memorial Garden, Quinn spent most of her days apanying Julius on his outings, dutifully fulfilling her role as a bodyguard.
At the same time, she also set aside some time to manage the properties her parents had left behind in Yarburn.
After the funeral, Laura was the first to return to Jexburgh, while Han chose to linger in Yarburn.
As Quinn was sorting out her parents‘ estate, Han was by her side. He imed to be quite knowledgeable about thew, offering his assistance should any legal issues arise during the inheritance
process.
Even if he couldn’t handle it himself, he could always reach out to the most renownedwyer in Jexburgh for help.
Quinn knew Han was telling the truth. Han had graduated fromw school, after all. If he hadn’t joined the military, he probably would have be awyer right after graduation.
The four majorw firms in Jexburgh all hadplex and intertwined rtionships with Han’s mother’s family.
Moreover, the most renownedwyer in Jexburgh city was none other than Han’s uncle.
And so, Quinn allowed Han to assist her in handling her parents‘ estate matters.
At the county recorder’s office, Quinn was holding a ticket, waiting for her number to be called.
Even though their family had moved to Jexburgh city quite early on, they resided in a militarypound there. Quinn’s parents‘ true assets were all located in Yarburn.
There were two properties in total. One was a house located in the city, while the other was an old residence situated in a small town next to Yarburn.
The house in the town needed a few days to process the paperwork in the town’s administrative office.
Since Quinn’s brother had gone missing, she had no choice but to transfer everything under her name for the time being.
Quinn gazed at the death certificates of her parents in her hand, along with the military MIA notice issued by the military for her brother. She gently traced her fingers over her elder brother’s name on the document.
“Quinnie, are you still thinking about Rowan?” Han asked. Back when he had enlisted, Rowan had already gone missing, so he had never met him in person. All he had seen was his photograph.
“Yes,” Quinn softly affirmed. “I’ll surely find him.”
“I’ll help you look for him too,” Han said.
With aforting gaze, Quinn looked at Han. “If Rowan knew I’ve found such a good little brother–like figure like you, he would definitely be very happy and would treat you as his own brother.”
Involuntarily, Han furrowed his brows. <i>Little </i><i>brother</i><i>? </i>
Once, Han had been closer to Quinn than anyone else, under the guise of being a little brother–like figure.
However, now, Han was afraid that he would forever be nothing more than a little brother–like figure to Quinn.
“What if I don’t want to be just a little brother–like figure to you?” Han suddenly asked.
Quinn was taken aback. “What’s the matter? You don’t want to be Rowan’s little brother?”
Han lowered his gaze. “The only one who could have me as a little brother–like figure is you, Quinnie.”
Quinn chuckled but didn’t insist. “Fine. If you say so.”
Han hesitated for a moment before he asked, “And what about you? Have you always seen me just as a little brother–like figure?”
Quinn looked at the man before her, who had long since shed his youthful naivety. “You’re not just a little brother–like figure to me, but also myrade.”
Even now, after both of them had left the military, she still considered themrades in her heart.
A faint glimmer shed in Han’s eyes. <i>Comrade </i><i>and </i><i>a </i><i>little </i><i>brother</i><i>–</i>like <i>figure</i>. <i>That’s </i><i>all </i><i>I </i><i>am </i><i>to </i><i>her</i><i>. </i>
Han couldn’t help but ask, “What about Julius, how do you see him?”
“Julius?” Quinn questioned. “Why bring him up?”
“I just wanted to know what you think of him,” Han asked.
“He’s someone I need to protect right now,” replied Quinn.
“Is that all<b>?</b><b>” </b>
“What else?” Quinn asked.
Han’s lips tightened slightly. <i>Obviously</i><i>, </i><i>Julius </i>is <i>interested </i><i>in </i><i>Quinn</i><i>. </i><i>In </i><i>particr</i>, <i>the </i><i>scene </i><i>where </i><i>they </i><i>made </i><i>a </i><i>pinky </i><i>promise </i><i>seemed </i><i>as </i><i>though </i><i>he </i><i>was </i><i>looking </i><i>at </i><i>someone </i><i>he </i><i>was </i><i>fond </i><i>of </i>
“Quinnie, do you like Julius?” Han suddenly asked.
“Cough!” Quinn choked on her saliva. “What on earth are you babbling about?”
“In Jexburgh, many women are smitten with Julius. After all, his handsome face is enough to make any woman’s heart flutter. So, I’m worried that you might also fall for him,” Han said with a serious expression. “Julius isn’t someone to fall for. The members of the Whitethorn family all have a kind of abnormal obsession deep in their bones, or rather, they’re all a bit off.”
Julius thought back to the chaotic scars marring Julius‘ back, along with his murmuring and moaning in his nightmares.
Inexplicably, a peculiar sensation began to stir in her heart.
“Everyone’s personality is shaped by their unique life experiences. I don’t think he’s abnormal,” she
