After dinner, Quinn and Julian went out for a walk.
After the two left, Mark asked, “Will, do you feel like Quinn was a little weird tonight? Like she was unnatural and kept blushing at the drop of a hat. It seemed like she didn’t quite dare to look at Julian either. She was really different from usual.
“This is the first time I’ve seen Quinn embarrassed ever since she was born. So it turns out that even she gets embarrassed. That’s the only time she looks like a girl. Normally, she’s just like a boy—carefree and shameless.”
Will poured a cup of tea for himself, not responding to his brother immediately.
Zoey was in the kitchen doing the dishes.
When she heard her younger son’s remarks, she suddenly came out of the kitchen and said to them both, “Come here, you two. I want to talk to you guys about something while Julian isn’t here.”
“What is it? You’re being so mysterious, Mom. And your expression is really serious. Is it something bad?” Mark asked as he walked over to her curiously.
Seeing her serious look, he did not dare to be playful.
Will was still holding the teapot when he hurried over to his mom, thinking something had happened as he asked in concern, “What’s wrong, Mom? Did Julian say something after coming back earlier?
“He confessed to Quinn earlier. Quinn had no warning whatsoever when he confessed and shocked her so badly that she ran straight out of the gym. I told him not to go after her and let her calm down. Looking at them now, it looks like there’s potential.”
Mark turned to look at Will. “Will, did you say Julian confessed to Quinn?”
Zoey said, “Julin said he has an illness and told Quinn everything just now. I was eavesdropping, though I couldn’t hear too clearly, but he said he was ill. I couldn’t make out what the illness was called, but anyway, he’s been single to this day because of that illness.”
Will asked in a low voice, “Mom, I don’t think it’s that sort of problem. If he really had a problem like that, he wouldn’t confess to Quinn. We can all see that he’s sincere about Quinn, so how could he make Quinn live like that?
“So it shouldn’t be that sort of illness.”
Will analyzed calmly.
Mark agreed. “Mom, I think Will is right. Julian’s stayed with us for such a long time. Although we can’t say that we understand him completely, we can all tell and are sure that he’s sincere about Quinn.
“If you truly love someone, how could you be willing to let her suffer in a sexless marriage? If he was sick in that sort of way, he wouldn’t confess to Quinn and hurt her like that.”
