Love Unspoken

Alexander glanced at Quinn and suddenly pulled out a candy from his pocket, handing it to her.

Quinn was momentarily stunned and took the candy. "Thanks."

He smiled brightly. "You're welcome."

To Quinn, that smile seemed fake.

He wasn't clueless. They had clashed earlier, and now she was acting all nice. He knew she had an agenda.

But he decided to play along.

Playing dumb was his specialty.

Quinn lifted her lips into a smile.

Unsure how to ask her questions, Quinn simply went upstairs to sleep.

In the bathroom, she looked at the candy and tossed it in the trash.

She turned on the shower, letting cold water pour over her. The weather was chilly, and the water felt even colder.

She touched the bell around her neck, opened her eyes, and stared at it.

Walter's face popped into her mind, and she felt a bit lost.

Even if Walter wasn't a good person, he was her last family and only comfort in this lonely world.

No matter how bad he was, her heart always leaned towards him.

Quinn was deep in thought when there was a knock on the door.

"Quinn, are you done?" Alexander's voice called.

Quinn quickly turned off the faucet, grabbed a towel, and wrapped it around herself. "Yes," she replied as she walked out.

She opened the door and saw Alexander leaning against the doorway, looking at her calmly.

His gaze moved to the bell around her neck.

Quinn's heart skipped a beat, and she forced a smile. "Do you want to shower?" Alexander looked back into her eyes and brushed her wet hair aside.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"Why didn't you dry your hair first?" he asked.

Quinn was surprised. He had already grabbed a towel and started drying her hair.

She stood still, letting him dry her hair. He was skilled, having done this many times before.

Once her hair was mostly dry, he led her to sit by the bed and took out a hairdryer.

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! It started raining outside, the raindrops hitting the window, blending with the sound of the hairdryer.

Quinn's mind wandered, and old feelings resurfaced.

She didn't feel happy, just a cold loneliness.

When the hairdryer stopped, the room was silent except for the rain.

Alexander turned to leave, but Quinn grabbed his sleeve.

He paused and looked back at her.

Quinn looked up at him, opened her mouth, but couldn't speak.

Alexander sat back down beside her and lifted her chin. "What's wrong? Afraid to sleep alone?"

Quinn pressed her lips together and stared at him for a few seconds.

Suddenly, she threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.
