Kiera didn’t have that idea; otherwise, he wouldn’t need to mention it. Regardless, he only responded to Kiera, and if she married him, she wouldn’t be a widow. Kiera smiled and said, “Mr. Bucham, I suspect you’re too busy to fall in love. But you should hurry before your parents become frantic. My parents don’t pressure me about marriage too much, but they certainly urge my brothers. They plug their ears when they come home to avoid hearing our parents nag. They are quite discerning too. When a matchmaker introduces them to girls, they often dismiss them after meeting. They prefer someone who is delicate yet capable of holding their own. My father gets so frustrated that he feels like beating them with a stick.”

Julian couldn’t help but smile. “It’s understandable for your brothers to think that way; after all, they learned martial arts as kids, and their social circle likely consists of martial artists too. It’s only natural they would want a wife who can also fight. Ms. Caron, since you’re seeking a boyfriend, I imagine you might also prefer someone skilled in martial arts?”

Kiera pondered for a moment and replied, “Initially, I instinctively think of wanting someone who can fight, but upon reflection, I believe it’s better to find an ordinary person. That way, I won’t have to worry about losing in arguments or fights after marriage. However, since I’ve practiced martial arts since childhood and now work as a coach in my own gym, it’s quite challenging for a matchmaker to find me a boyfriend. When potential partners learn that I box and kick well, they often hesitate to meet me, fearing I might overpower them after marriage.”

Julian responded, “You shouldn’t be concerned about attracting a man with that mindset. It’s better to focus on finding a good man before worrying about potential arguments or fights.”

“Marry a wife. They are all married and pampered at home.” “Take our young master York from Wiltspoon as an example. In reality, young master York knows boxing and is quite skilled. However, in a confrontation with his wife, she would definitely come out on top. Has anyone ever done anything about it? Young master York has never considered harming his wife; instead, he focuses on treating her well, pampering her, and ensuring her happiness. He invests his sincerity and receives love in return. Now, the couple is so affectionate that others are envious. I envy them.”

Kiera nodded, “Mr. Bucham, you share my perspective. That’s what I told my parents, but my mother scolded my father for encouraging me to practice martial arts. She believes that as a girl, I only need to know how to defend myself; I don’t need to become a martial arts expert. My father was the one who hurt me when I turned 24.”

Julian responded thoughtfully, “That’s because your destiny hasn’t arrived yet. When fate arrives, you can’t escape it.” Kiera, at 24, was fortunate that no one cared about her. Otherwise, she might have been married off when he found her. If she had a boyfriend, wouldn’t that make her a third party?

It was evident that their connection was destined, a couple brought together by fate, with their bond cultivated in a past life. That master was truly a genius; his calculations were remarkably accurate. It was the first time Julian witnessed the power of that master.

Kiera remarked, “So, it is destined for us to meet across thousands of miles, yet not to encounter each other. I’m only twenty-four, not thirty-four. Perhaps my significant other is right in front of me.” Kiera’s longing for love and marriage isn’t strong; she prefers her current life.

She enjoyed doing the work she loved and felt a sense of freedom. While her parents often nagged about their children’s significant life events, at least they couldn’t bother her at that moment. Her time would come when her shields were removed from the list.
