Chapter 94 Pinky Promise +5 Free Coins Quinn pursed her lips . I doubt he would've come today if he were a cold - blooded monster . " Your mother didn't treat you well ? " " She really disliked me , especially my face . She couldn't stand it ," Julius said . His voice was calm , as if he were talking about something normal . Quinn was taken aback . What kind of mother could despise her own child's face to that degree ? " What about you ? Would you hate my face ? " Julius asked .

Taken aback , Quinn saw his eyelashes quiver slightly as his striking eyes slowly lifted to meet hers . His gaze was calm without a hint of disturbance like a dead sea . However , beneath that dead sea , there was a glimmer of anticipation . Quinn found herself overwhelmed by an indescribable feeling welling up within her . " No way ." She pursed her lips , looking at Julius ' face . He was incredibly handsome , and she figured most women wouldn't find his face unpleasant .

Upon hearing that , he smiled , which seemed to thaw the icy stillness in his eyes , casting an irresistible allure . " Right , here's your handkerchief back , " said Quinn , as she handed it over to Julius . He took back his handkerchief .

" Promise me you'll never despise this face of mine ." A flicker of confusion crossed her eyes , but she nodded , saying , " All right." She never held any resentment toward a particular face , and her disdain would always be reserved for the person behind it . If she truly detested someone , she wouldn't even bother to spare them a glance and would hope they never met again , like with Trent . " Then let's pinky promise , deal ?

" Julius said , genuinely extending his right hand and holding up his pinky . Taken aback , Quinn looked at him with a hint of surprise . She didn't expect that a man like him , who could effortlessly stir up Jexburgh's high society with a mere flick of his finger , would actually resort to such a childish method to secure a promise . " What's wrong ? " Seeing her silent , Julius asked . " I just didn't expect you would … uh , want to make a pinky promise ," said Quinn .

" It's because when I was young , a little girl once told me that a pinky promise lasts a hundred years . Break it , and you'll lose what you treasure most ," said Julius . Quinn was rather surprised . He believes that ? Then again , I did too when I was a kid . I would even say the same thing . What a coincidence . Maybe I made a pinky promise with him when we were kids , too ? Immediately after , Quinn dismissed the fleeting speculation that had just crossed her mind .

We have 1/2 nothing to do with each other , and I don't recall interacting with the Whitethorn family at all in the past . There's no way I could've known him as a kid . Besides , with how he looks right now , I bet he's equally attractive back then . I doubt I would've forgotten such a memorable face . I'm confident in my memories , and I don't remember meeting him before . " All right , let's pinky promise then , " said Quinn , extending her little finger and hooking Julius ' .

" Pinky promise for a hundred years , " Julius murmured those words , a phrase that Quinn was all too familiar with from her childhood . A flicker of bewilderment flashed in Quinn's eyes . She felt as though she saw a reflection of her past self , making a pinky promise with someone just like that . Marley watched the scene unfold before her , gritting her teeth tightly , her eyes filled with intense jealousy . To think they're doing a pinky promise !

She still remembered one time in the past when she and Julius happened upon two kids making a pinky promise . Julius was completely captivated by the sight . So , she suggested , " How about we make a pinky promise too ? " However , at that time , Julius merely gave her a look . " I don't need any promises from you , and I don't plan on making any to you either .

" It was as though , in his eyes , she was nothing more than an insignificant person , even though she had nearly lost her sight in one eye because of him . She had paid such a price , and at last , she was close to him , yet he didn't even want to make a pinky promise with her . However , at that moment , he was doing just that with Quinn . What's so great about Quinn ? Marley was fuming . At that moment , those who witnessed the scene included Laura and Harlan .
