Upon hearing the revtion, William stood dumbfounded. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that his son would wed Alexander''s ex-wife.


    Even if his son had married Alexander''s sister or former girlfriend, he wouldn''t have been as shocked.


    His ex-wife... The turn of events confounded William entirely.


    Of all the women in the world, why did his son feelpelled to choose Alexander''s former spouse?


    Upon hearing prolonged silence on the phone, Orion, feeling somewhat uneasy, remarked, "Have you done speaking? I''ll hang up now."


    "Hold on!" William bellowed. "Orion, irrespective of your intentions for marrying his ex-wife or your grievances toward me, I must inform you Alexander is currently at our residence. You had best bring her back to me, or there will be consequences!"


    Furrowing, Orion even chuckled in exasperation, "Is he out of his mind? Why would he persist with Quinn after their divorce? How could he have the audacity toe there seeking her?"


    "I think the one with an issue here is you! With a plethora of women at your disposal, you don''t marry any, opting for someone no one else wants. If anyone''s got a problem, it''s you! Bring her back to me, Do you hear me?" "I won''t bring her back," Orion asserted.


    "Are you plotting rebellion?"


    "Yes! I am rebelling. You had no qualms about killing off my dogs in the past, not even batting an eye. Now that Alexander has shown up, you are rattled. Where did your audacity from those dog killings go?" "You..."


    Unwilling to engage in further conflict, Orion abruptly ended the call and powered off his phone.


    Despite just moments ago self-reproaching, William''s barrage triggered Orion''s ire. He released a long exhale,posed his emotions and returned to the cafeteria.


    With a keen eye fixed on his flushed countenance, Quinn gestured, "What''s the matter?"


    "Nothing." Irritably pushing his meal aside, Orion thought over before saying, "Quinn, let''s leave Amber Bay. We''ll depart this evening."


    Quinn hesitated, puzzled by his abrupt change of ns. Hadn''t they agreed to leave the following day?

    "What''s wrong? Are you reluctant?" Orion inquired.


    Shaking her head, Quinn gestured, "Is it too hasty?"


    "Not at all. I reckon it is the perfect time to depart now lest Alexanderes knocking again."


    At the mention of Alexander, ripples of emotion stirred within Quinn. Her gaze briefly shifted away.


    "Are you leaving?" Orion asked once more.


    Quinn nodded after a moment of silence. Having wed Orion, where else could she belong?


    "Very well. Finish your meal quickly. We will depart once you are done.." Orion felt restless, unable to linger even a moment longer in the vicinity.


    Pushing her te aside, Quinn gestured, "I''m done."

    Observing the exchange, Sebastian, feeling apprehensive, interjected, "Orion, are you really leaving just like that? Will you return?"


    ncing at Sebastian with aplex expression, Orion ruffled his hair. "Probably."


    Tears welled up in Sebastian''s eyes, a deep sense of reluctance evident. Oliver, whom he revered, had forsaken him for his wife. "Orion, pleasee back to visit me..."


    "Alright, I understand." Grabbing Quinn''s hand, Orion led her outside. "Let''s go. Let''s leave now. There''s nothing worthwhile in Amber Bay."


    Together, they made their way to the waiting Volkswagen. As Quinn settled in, her heart raced inexplicably. She gazed out the window at the night''s darkness due to departing a familiar ce for an unfamiliar one. In a ce where she knew no one else and unable tomunicate with anyone, her sole reliancey on Orion.


    Back at the Orion family residence, William found himself at a loss for how to face Alexander. Hesitatingly eyeing Alexander, he managed a strained smile, "Alexander, thisd is too rebellious. He created such a mess without our knowledge, and we must discipline him properly when the timees."


    Calmly seated on the sofa with his legs crossed, Beneath his draped hem of a blue patient''s gown, Alexander''sposed demeanor did little to alleviate William''s mounting pressures.


    Perplexed beyond measure, William pondered his son''s intentions and wondered why his son felt the need to marry Alexander''s former wife.N?velDrama.Org ? content.
