Julian smiled and said, “You’re welcome to visit me anytime.
“Oh, by the way, I sent two large boxes to you by courier. Have you received them? I tracked the shipment, they should be arriving today.”
Julian had purchased a variety of specialty products from Wiltspoon, as well as some supplements for middle-aged and elderly people. He had them all shipped to Summervale, with Quinn as the recipient.
After all, Quinn was his destined girl, and he wanted to make a good impression on her family.
Having come all the way here, Julian felt that he could not arrive empty-handed.
Quinn replied, “I’m not sure about that. I came to the airport to fetch you this afternoon, and if there was a delivery, it would be sent to my house. My mom is usually at home, and she’d help me receive them. Julian, what did you buy for me? You don’t have to spend so much.”
“It’s just some specialty products from Wiltspoon. Last time when you left in a hurry, I didn’t prepare much for you. This time, I bought a bit more and had them delivered two days in advance so they would arrive when I did.
“My parents know that you saved my life, and I didn’t properly thank you. They scolded me, saying I didn’t know how to be grateful, and warned me that if I ever faced danger again, no one would help me. They said I should repay kindness a hundredfold.
“Quinn, I’m not an ingrate.”
Quinn chuckled. “Julian, you’re not a bad person. You’ve expressed your gratitude. Last time when I took the kids to the competition, you treated us to food and drinks, took us out to play, and didn’t let us spend a dime. You even took me to attend Mr. York and Serenity’s wedding. These were all your ways of showing gratitude.”
“Still, it’s not enough. Returning a favor would involve something much greater, such as offering himself in return.”
“Mr. and Mrs. Bucham are too kind.”
