I just don\u2019t react to women.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Everyone was left speechless.<\/div>\n<div>Indeed, Serenity and Jasmine were best friends. The shrimp they had picked up simultaneously fell back onto their plates.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cJulian, you\u2019re just making excuses, right? We won\u2019t pressure you to get married, so you don\u2019t need to say things like that and scare me.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Josh thought about his uncle\u2019s hopeful gaze and his aunt\u2019s expectant expression. He realized he might have asked something he shouldn\u2019t have.<\/div>\n<div>His cousin\u2019s words were shocking.<\/div>\n<div>They unsettled him.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cJulian, what about men\u2026?\u201d Remy asked cautiously.<\/div>\n<div>He was sitting next to Julian and discreetly shifted in his seat, ready to move if Julian revealed he was interested in men.<\/div>\n<div>However, who was Julian? Remy\u2019s subtle actions did not go unnoticed.<\/div>\n<div>Julian playfully tugged at Remy\u2019s arm, causing him to almost jump.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cRemy, there\u2019s no need to be so shocked. I\u2019m not interested in men either. I just have a condition. I\u2019ve consulted a psychiatrist and a renowned specialist for male health issues, and they all said my situation is difficult to treat.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cJulian, don\u2019t scare me like that.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cJosh, do I strike you as the type to lie? What I\u2019m saying is true. I wouldn\u2019t joke about my health.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Julian\u2019s expression was serious.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity set down her utensils and tentatively asked, \u201cJulian, do you have hypoactive sexual desire disorder?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Julian glanced at Serenity and responded, \u201cYou\u2019ve heard of it?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cI\u2019ve read about it in books. It really is difficult to treat.\u201d<\/div>\n<p>The illness depends on your mental health as well. You might live an ordinary life if you can find someone who can bring about change, or you may end up feeling isolated.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The others fell silent. <\/p>\n<p>Julian nodded. \u201cThat\u2019s what my doctor told me. So, Josh, go back and inform my dad that he doesn\u2019t need to worry about me any longer, and that they should stop holding onto hope. I don\u2019t know who can save me.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cJulian, that sounds like an excuse.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>After hearing Julian\u2019s words, everyone shared Josh\u2019s thoughts. <\/p>\n<p>The other bachelors silently cursed, thinking, \u2018Julian is really going to extremes to avoid being pressured into marriage. He\u2019s willing to claim he has an illness and doesn\u2019t care about losing face.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>Yet, they couldn\u2019t emulate Julian\u2019s ruthlessness. <\/p>\n<p>No wonder Julian managed to control many of their secrets while no one knew his unless he chose to reveal them. <\/p>\n<p>Moreover, they couldn\u2019t verify if the secrets he disclosed were genuine. <\/p>\n<p>Regardless, Julian was tall and handsome. He worked out regularly and was in excellent health. How could he possibly suffer from hypoactive sexual desire disorder? The others, who had not read extensively, were unfamiliar with the condition. <\/p>\n<p>After some thought, Jasmine asked her best friend, \u201cIs that the same illness the male lead from the romance novel I read has?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI learned about it in a reading club, not from a novel. You know I\u2019m not fond of novels.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>While at the bookstore, Jasmine would read novels, while Serenity focused on knitting. Serenity occasionally read books during her free time, favoring popular or historical works. She would only turn to well-known novels aimed at men when absolutely necessary. <\/p>\n<p>Serenity had no interest in the contemporary romance novels that Jasmine read daily. <\/p>\n<p>Josh<\/p>\n<p>He thought that his cousin appeared to be uninterested in women. Could it be that Julian indeed had hypoactive sexual desire disorder and was not simply making an excuse? No one present could verify whether Julian was telling the truth, but Walter could. If Josh informed his uncle about this, his uncle would confirm it. Josh decided to return to Bucham Manor tonight to discuss this with his uncle. If his cousin was genuinely suffering, there was nothing he could do to change that. Julian\u2019s doctor mentioned that treatment would be challenging. Since Josh had not studied medicine, what could he do to help?<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 1489 Concerned, Josh asked, \u201cJulian, why aren\u2019t you acting like a normal person?\u201d Julian pursed his lips and replied, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13708"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13708\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
