Love Unspoken

Quinn had no idea how long it had been before she finally lowered her hand, weakly gasping for breath.

Exhausted, she slumped in the chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Suddenly, a familiar scent hit her. She turned and saw Alexander sitting beside her.

Too tired to speak, she just glanced at him and looked away.

"Are you full?" Alexander asked, taking her hand and wiping off the medicinal residue from her palm.

Quinn stayed silent for a bit before finally saying, "Are you planning to keep me locked up in the villa forever?"

Alexander paused, then kept wiping her hand. "I'm not keeping you locked up. You can go out anytime."

Before she could respond, he added, "But someone has to go with you."

Quinn smirked, thinking, 'What's the difference? It's still the same.'

But remembering what Walter had said, she swallowed her words. The best move now was to keep Alexander calm and let his guard down.

Only then could she leave smoothly.

"Can I visit Abigail every day?" Quinn asked.

"Yes," Alexander nodded. Then he added, "But you can't see Orion."

Quinn glanced at him.

He was still holding a grudge against Orion. It was he who had pushed her to Orion in the first place, yet now he wouldn't even let her see him.

Quinn pressed her lips together and looked down. "I understand."

Alexander looked at her, noticing her sudden compliance. A flicker of emotion crossed his eyes.

"How long have you been up?" he asked.

"Just got up," Quinn replied.

Suddenly, he pulled her to her feet, touched her cheek, and said softly, "If you can't sleep, I'll take you somewhere."

Quinn was a bit surprised and looked up at him. "Where?"

"Just follow me," he replied.

Quinn followed him closely as he took his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

Every move he made was gentle and thoughtful.

It was different from before. In the past, his consideration felt like they were siblings. Now, he truly acted like a husband.

If there was a difference, it was probably that his current thoughtfulness carried a subtle undertone of seeking to please her.

If it were in the past, she would have been deeply moved.

But now, no matter what he did, it couldn't make up for the hurt he had caused her, no matter his reasons for doing these things.

Once in the car, Alexander drove her to the outskirts.

The further they drove, the fewer streetlights there were. Finally, there were none, and only the car's headlights lit the road ahead.

Quinn didn't feel scared. Maybe because she knew he wouldn't abandon her.

This was what was called a sense of security, something she had once desperately sought but now couldn't shake off even if she wanted to.

Suddenly, lights appeared ahead. As the car got closer, Quinn saw where they were.

It was a cemetery.

Quinn turned to Alexander, asking, "Why did you bring me here?"

Alexander parked the car and looked at her. "Get out."This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Quinn frowned but then she opened the car door and followed him out.

Since it was so dark, Quinn still felt a bit scared, especially in such a creepy place.

She instinctively moved closer to Alexander.

Alexander noticed that and smiled slightly.
