Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

“Brother Kendrick, what can I do now?”
Knowing that Kendrick recognized him, Julian regarded Kendrick as a helper and couldn’t help but ask Kendrick.
Kendrick said, “You can either stay here and watch or go back and help my mother cook. In short, you don’t have to worry about
what Kiera does. She will be back in the evening. After she comes back, you two will have a good talk. You just need to make
her believe that you are serious about her and not joking.”
Julian said, “I will, thank you, brother, then I will go back and help Auntie cook.”
If the mother-in-law’s route is smooth and successful, pursuing her wife will get twice the result with half the effort.
Kiera was either frightened by Julian’s confession or she just didn’t believe it. This was the first time she heard a man say he
loved her.
She came out of the martial arts gym and blew in the cold wind. She shivered from the cold, and her mind became clear. She
didn’t hang out for long before she ran back home.
Fortunately, the martial arts gym was very close to home.
Mrs. Caron was preparing hot pot dishes for tonight.
On a cold day, eating hot pot was the most comfortable thing. If it weren’t for the heating in the room, she wouldn’t be able to
stay.
When winter came, Mrs. Caron rarely went out. She let her children buy groceries. She was from the south and was afraid of the
cold. Even though she had been married to Yonsburg for decades, she still liked to huddle in the winter.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Mrs. Caron walked out and saw Kiera. She asked, “Isn’t the get-out of class not over yet
at this time? Why are you back? It must be snowing outside. There is hot ginger tea in the pot. Pour a bowl and drink it to drive
away the cold.”
Mrs. Caron said that and went back to the kitchen.
“Why are you the only one coming back? Your brother and the others?”
While Mrs. Caron was busy, she didn’t forget to ask Kiera.

Kiera replied, “I have something to do, so I’ll be back first. Mom, where is dad?”
“Your dad went out and said that someone invited him to dinner. He didn’t come home for dinner at night. He asked us to eat
when it was ready. What do you want?”
Mrs. Caron turned to ask Kiera who came in.
Kiera hesitated and finally said sheepishly, “I didn’t bring any sanitary pads with me, so I came back from getting off work early.”
Mrs. Caron: “Oh. But...didn’t it just come here on the 10th? It’s only the 25th, and you’re here again?”
There were only two women in the family, mother and daughter, and Mrs. Caron knew Kiera’s menstrual period.
She was also very concerned about it, especially when Kiera was in puberty. She was afraid that Kiera would not dare speak out
because of shyness. She often reminded Kiera that if she feels uncomfortable or abnormal, she must tell her mother.
Kiera: “Maybe it’s going to be chaotic this month. Mom, I’ll go upstairs first.”
Afraid that Mrs. Caron would see through her lie, Kiera hurried upstairs.
She was in her room, closed the door, and was alone.
She lay down on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and murmured to herself, “Julian said he fell in love with me at first sight. His love
for me is the same love a man has for a woman. He said he wanted to marry me. Why do I feel like I’m dreaming? I, Kiera, also
have a man like me. He is still such an excellent CEO.”
Kiera herself didn’t have many expectations for love. The main reason was that her mother arranged countless blind dates, all of
which ended up being ignored. She said it didn’t matter, but it actually had an impact on her, making her feel that she was bad
and not suitable. As a wife, no man would really love her. They only treated her as a buddy.
