Everyone laughed and said, “Senior Brother, Mr. Bucham didn’t bribe us. We’re all speaking honestly. Mr. Bucham is genuinely a good match for our junior sister.”

A coach quietly remarked, “I believe Mr. Bucham has strong feelings for our junior sister as well. The main issue is that among the young men our junior sister encounters, aside from us senior brothers, there aren’t any better options. Both the curator and the junior wife are quite concerned.

If Mr. Bucham weren’t a suitable person, we wouldn’t support him pursuing our junior sister. I think they get along very well, but I worry that our junior sister doesn’t have romantic feelings for Mr. Bucham. Her feelings toward him are similar to those she has for us.”

His words prompted everyone to nod in agreement, sharing the same sentiment.

While there were many junior sisters, Kiera was the one who caused them the most concern. The primary issue was that Kiera consistently viewed men as friends, leaving them feeling helpless.

They considered helping Kiera find a boyfriend, but Kiera insisted that he should be skilled in boxing and kicking, rather than martial arts. After hearing about Kiera’s “reputation,” some individuals discreetly visited the martial arts hall to observe her. They discovered that Kiera excelled at boxing and kicking, worried that she might not be able to attract a partner, leading to outcomes similar to those on blind dates.

Kendrick smiled and said, “You’ve all been influenced by Julian, including me as the eldest brother. Julian has a way with money and has skillfully persuaded us without us even realizing it. However, he is genuinely a good match for Kiera; that’s more than enough.

I don’t fault you for it. Let’s just have fun; it’s all for Kiera’s benefit. After observing Julian for a considerable time, I won’t allow things to progress if he does anything inappropriate.”

“As you mentioned, Kiera tends to see the men around her as friends. It will depend on how Julian helps her gain insight. I admire…

“Julian is from Wiltspoon, which is quite far away. If my sister marries him, I won’t be able to visit twice a year,” she said.

Everyone suggested, “You could let Julian buy a house in Yonsburg. His business is here, and investing in a property would be worthwhile.”

Kendrick paused for a moment before responding, “We’ll discuss this later. I can’t think about it too much right now, and I can’t control the situation. Let’s just let things unfold naturally. Julian will figure it out.”

Kendrick believed that Julian was more than just a businessman; his capabilities and connections made him seem enigmatic to Kendrick.

The group exchanged glances, resigned to letting events take their course.

Meanwhile, Kiera was unaware that her classmates were discussing her and Julian behind her back. She sat at her desk, set down a vibrant bouquet, and opened her insulated lunch box. “There’s no barbecue,” she remarked.

Julian replied, “If you can’t wait, go ahead and eat first. I’ll help you with the barbecue. They’re still eating. Do you want some chrysanthemum tea? I can grab you two bottles.”

Kiera replied, “Yes, please.”

With a smile, Julian walked away to fetch the barbecue, making sure to get a variety for her.

After spending some time together, he had learned her food preferences well.

Before getting close to Kiera, he had been the one to research her, but he found that the reality of her personality surpassed what he had discovered.

He felt that the genuine Kiera was even more appealing to him.

Soon, Julian returned with the barbecue and chrysanthemum tea, sitting down across from her.

He enjoyed sitting opposite her and watching her eat.

Kiera asked, “Aren’t you hungry?”

Picking up a grilled medium wing, she took a bite and asked Julian, “Where did you get this barbecue? It tastes amazing! I’ve had a lot of barbecue in Yonsburg, but this is the best I’ve ever had.”

Julian smiled and replied, “If you enjoy it, I’ll go there and get some for you next time.”

He didn’t reveal the name of the restaurant, as he wanted to keep the opportunity to impress her for himself.
