Trent thought. Why did she utter such a lie that she was the one who saved me back in the day? After all, it was Sidonie who had saved me.

Ever since her parents were laid to rest at the Hero’s Memorial Garden, Quinn spent most of her days accompanying Julius on his outings, dutifully fulfilling her role as a bodyguard.

At the same time, she also set aside some time to manage the properties her parents had left behind in Yarburn.

After the funeral, Laura was the first to return to Jexburgh, while Harlan chose to linger in Yarburn.

As Quinn was sorting out her parents‘ estate, Harlan was by her side. He claimed to be quite knowledgeable about the law, offering his assistance should any legal issues arise during the inheritance

process.

Even if he couldn’t handle it himself, he could always reach out to the most renowned lawyer in Jexburgh for help.

Quinn knew Harlan was telling the truth. Harlan had graduated from law school, after all. If he hadn’t joined the military, he probably would have become a lawyer right after graduation.

The four major law firms in Jexburgh all had complex and intertwined relationships with Harlan’s mother’s family.

Moreover, the most renowned lawyer in Jexburgh city was none other than Harlan’s uncle.

And so, Quinn allowed Harlan to assist her in handling her parents‘ estate matters.

At the county recorder’s office, Quinn was holding a ticket, waiting for her number to be called.

Even though their family had moved to Jexburgh city quite early on, they resided in a military compound there. Quinn’s parents‘ true assets were all located in Yarburn.

There were two properties in total. One was a house located in the city, while the other was an old residence situated in a small town next to Yarburn.

The house in the town needed a few days to process the paperwork in the town’s administrative office.

Since Quinn’s brother had gone missing, she had no choice but to transfer everything under her name for the time being.

Quinn gazed at the death certificates of her parents in her hand, along with the military MIA notice issued by the military for her brother. She gently traced her fingers over her elder brother’s name on the document.

“Quinnie, are you still thinking about Rowan?” Harlan asked. Back when he had enlisted, Rowan had already gone missing, so he had never met him in person. All he had seen was his photograph.

“Yes,” Quinn softly affirmed. “I’ll surely find him.”

“I’ll help you look for him too,” Harlan said.

With a comforting gaze, Quinn looked at Harlan. “If Rowan knew I’ve found such a good little brother–like figure like you, he would definitely be very happy and would treat you as his own brother.”

Involuntarily, Harlan furrowed his brows. Little brother?

Once, Harlan had been closer to Quinn than anyone else, under the guise of being a little brother–like figure.

However, now, Harlan was afraid that he would forever be nothing more than a little brother–like figure to Quinn.

“What if I don’t want to be just a little brother–like figure to you?” Harlan suddenly asked.

Quinn was taken aback. “What’s the matter? You don’t want to be Rowan’s little brother?”

Harlan lowered his gaze. “The only one who could have me as a little brother–like figure is you, Quinnie.”

Quinn chuckled but didn’t insist. “Fine. If you say so.”

Harlan hesitated for a moment before he asked, “And what about you? Have you always seen me just as a little brother–like figure?”

Quinn looked at the man before her, who had long since shed his youthful naivety. “You’re not just a little brother–like figure to me, but also my comrade.”

Even now, after both of them had left the military, she still considered them comrades in her heart.

A faint glimmer flashed in Harlan’s eyes. Comrade and a little brother–like figure. That’s all I am to her.

Harlan couldn’t help but ask, “What about Julius, how do you see him?”

“Julius?” Quinn questioned. “Why bring him up?”

“I just wanted to know what you think of him,” Harlan asked.

“He’s someone I need to protect right now,” replied Quinn.
