CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36: THE OLD VERSAILLES

Kyle Keaton furrowed his brow.

July Quinn, as if thoughtfully explaining for him, said, "I can’t really say what’s good about you, I just want to be near you, I just want to watch you shower."

Kyle Keaton: "..."

Did she think she could dodge his probing questions every time she flirted with him?

For some reason, Kyle Keaton suddenly hid all his anger and asked July Quinn, "What time are we going to The Continental Hotel this weekend?"

The suddenly gentle tone of his voice inexplicably gave July Quinn a chill.

"But darling, didn’t you say earlier that you didn’t want to see my family for now?"

Honestly, July Quinn was unsure why Kyle Keaton suddenly changed his mind.

"Either way, sooner or later we’ll have to meet them, don’t you think so, darling?"

Not only did the man’s voice soften, but he also took the initiative, wrapping July Quinn’s waist, making the embrace more intimate.

Especially with that word "darling," the situation made July Quinn feel even colder.

"You’re right, but..."

Yet something seemed a bit off.

However, Kyle Keaton didn’t give her a chance to finish her sentence and directly interrupted her.

"In that case, just send me the time and place, I’ll attend the birthday party on time."

After finishing, the man even took the initiative to kiss the corner of July Quinn’s mouth.

Before July Quinn could react, he released her waist and started eating the dishes he had personally prepared at the table.

July Quinn was dumbfounded for a while.

Although Kyle Keaton’s sudden agreement to attend the birthday party was suspicious, she felt that his motives were nowhere as malicious as her decision to become a stepmother.

So she put her mind at ease and turned to the bathroom.

What July Quinn didn’t know was, while she went to the bathroom, Kyle Keaton was quietly watching her back the whole time.

Since those sent to investigate couldn’t find any of her past, he didn’t mind doing it himself.

Wasn’t she always eager to meet each other’s family?

Great, he’ll start from this point and see what hidden intentions she really has!

As the weekend quietly arrived, both July Quinn and Kyle Keaton played their own games.

With two to three hours left before Charles Quinn’s birthday party begins, except for the youngest Quinn, Joy Quinn, who was still attending college in Esteria and hadn’t arrived, the other three Quinn Family members and Nathan Jacobs had already reached The Continental Hotel ahead of time.

Before they arrived at The Continental Hotel, they repeatedly urged July Quinn to come quickly.

Thus, July Quinn, Nathan Jacobs, and the Quinn Family met in the lobby of The Continental Hotel.

The first to come and speak to July Quinn was her mother Amanda Ford.

"It’s good you’re here. I was worried we’d embarrass ourselves in front of others again today."

In July Quinn’s memory, Amanda Ford was no different from Charles Quinn.

In fact, she paid even less attention to July than Charles Quinn did.

Just like now, even though July hadn’t been home for several days, upon seeing July, Amanda showed no concern or warmth, only worried about losing face and picking faults.

Look, she began criticizing July after scanning her from head to toe.

"Today we’re hosting the evening party at The Continental Hotel, and look at what you’re wearing."

Before July returned to Aphelion, they bought her several luxury clothes, but never saw her wear them.

So later, they stopped giving July clothes.

Perhaps because of this, July’s dressing style became increasingly casual.

See, today is a formal occasion after all.

Yet July was wearing a simple T-shirt dress with a baseball cap on her head.

Though the fabric looked good, it lacked any distinct luxury brand logos, which Amanda was most concerned about.

Seeing Amanda reprimand July, Nina Quinn habitually chimed in as the good person.

"July, honestly this outfit is a bit inappropriate. How about this, why don’t you come with me to change?"

July was surprised; why was Nina being so generous today?

But soon, Nina smiled and added, "Brother Nathan ordered several outfits for me in preparation for Dad’s birthday party, there are so many that I can’t wear all of them, such a waste. Your body shape is similar to mine, just take some to wear."

July Quinn: "..."

Wow, way to start with a good old Versailles.
