The abrupt sound caused Alexander to halt in his tracks, his gaze lifting to the front door. Quinn, her lip caught between her teeth, summoned her courage and moved towards him.
The scene was peculiar: Alexander, d in a sharp suit, an air of unapproachability surrounding him, was delicately cradling a fragile infant. His attire and demeanor seemed incongruous with the role of a caretaker. The nanny attempted to relieve him of the child, her voice gentle, "Alexander, hand him to me."
This time, Alexander offered no resistance, allowing the nanny to whisk the child away. His piercing gaze, however, remained fixed on Quinn, sending a shiver skittering down her spine. Quinn took a step closer, her hands moving in a silent question, "Why did you block me?"
Confronted with her query, Alexander reclined against the sofa, a lit cigarette in hand. His tone was casual as he responded, "I blocked you because I wanted to. Do I need your permission?" Quinn found herself at a loss for words.
She took a seat across from him, her hands moving again to form another question, "Have you prepared the divorce papers?"
Alexander remained silent, his gaze never leaving her.
Quinn made another sign, her expression resolute, "If you hate me that much, let''s just sign them and get it over with. We both can move on."
"We both?" he echoed, his toneced with skepticism.
Confusion furrowed Quinn''s brow, but she nodded in agreement nheless.
A smirk yed at the corners of Alexander''s mouth, though his eyes remained devoid of humor. "Found someone to take you in yet? Is it Orion or Walter?"
Quinn''s frown deepened. She signed back, "If we''re divorced, it shouldn''t matter who I''m with, right?"
"Are you divorced now?" he challenged.
Quinn was taken aback.
Alexander continued, his tone nonchnt, "We''re not divorced yet, but first, it''s Orion, now Walter. It''s been four days. Have you made your choice of who you want to be with?" His words, though light, struck a painful chord in Quinn''s heart.
So, that''s how he saw her.

Quinn no longer wished to argue. She signed again: "Then let''s get a divorce."
Alexander''s gaze narrowed, a chill creeping into his voice, "Divorce, to make it easy for you two?"
Quinn''s patience was wearing thin: Isn''t it about making it easy for you and Getty?
"You and Getty are at the press conference, yet you''re too scared to go public with your rtionship. Don''t you think she feels wronged?"
Suddenly, Alexander rose from his seat, closing the distance between them. He tilted her chin up, his grip firm, "Are you saying I should be thankful to you for considering my feelings?" Quinn''s jaw ached under his hold, but she bit back any response.
After a moment, she signed, "It was you who mentioned divorce, wasn''t it?"
"So what if I said it?" he shot back.N?velDrama.Org content rights.
Her words were stifled. She looked at him in disbelief. Was he reneging now?

"Do I have to follow through on it?
"Haven''t you also failed to follow through on your promises to me?"
As Quinn stared at his sharply chiseled face, only two words came to mind: utterly shameless.
She had never seen this audacious side of him before.
Quinn''s eyelid twitched.
Alexander released her chin with a sneer, "But I''m not you-I do what I say."
With that, he pulled out his phone to dial Kyle, "Bring over the divorce papers."
Kyle, on the other end, was taken aback. Was this for real?
But the tone Alexander used clearly didn''t allow for any interjection. Kyle hurriedly agreed and immediately grabbed the documents to rush over.
