Alexander scoffed, "It''s not a big issue. Just make sure someone keeps a close eye on him. We can''t risk him escaping again."


    Kyle nodded in agreement. "Understood."


    Settling back, Alexander pulled out a cigarette. "I''ll pay him a visit tomorrow."


    Suddenly, a thunderous noise outside startled Quinn from her sleep. She panted heavily as she stared at the ceiling, sweat dripping down her forehead.


    Clutching the nket tightly, Quinn stared at the snow-white ceiling for a while.


    When the outside quieted down, she immediately got out of bed and searched everywhere for Alexander''s figure.


    Quinn pushed the door open, looking at the quiet corridor. Her heart was racing once again.


    As she was about to head downstairs, Kyle''s voice suddenly sounded from behind. "Mrs. Kennedy?"


    Quinn paused her steps, turning back.


    "Mrs. Kennedy, why are you still up sote?" Kyle nced at the time. It was almost midnight.


    Quinn tilted her head, staring at Kyle for a while before finally recognizing him. She gestured, "I''m going to find Alexander."


    Kyle didn''t understand, but he caught the word Alexander.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Hastily, Kyle said, "Mr. Kennedy is in the study. Why are you going downstairs?"


    Quinn blinked, then ignored Kyle and ran towards the study.


    She pushed the door open and, indeed, saw Alexander in the study. Her face lit up with joy as she walked in.


    Alexander was sitting on the sofa, reading some documents.


    Sensing something, Alexander looked up and saw Quinn running towards him.


    In three quick steps, Quinn reached Alexander''s side and, without waiting for his reaction, she threw herself into his arms. Alexander held her, looking down at her. "Why aren''t you asleep?"


    Quinn tilted her head back, looking up at him pitifully. After a moment, she gestured, "There''s thunder outside, I''m scared."


    Alexander wrapped his arms around her, letting her sit on hisp. "It''s just thunder. There''s no need to be scared. Why aren''t you wearing shoes?"


    Quinn shook her head, holding onto Alexander''s neck tightly and refusing to release him. She was afraid of thunder. In the past, whenever it thundered, she had a servant by her side. But now, when she woke up, she was alone. How could Quinn possibly not be scared?

    Alexander helplessly looked at Quinn, reaching out to pat her head. "Should I stay with you?"


    A smile appeared in Quinn''s eyes as she nodded vigorously.


    Alexander lifted her, Quinn''s arms around his neck, and he held her legs around his waist. Quinn was hanging on him like a monkey.


    Alexander carried Quinn back to the bedroom and ced her on the bed.


    Quinn tugged at his sleeve as if afraid he would leave, holding onto him tightly.


    Seeing through her thoughts, Alexander said, "I promised to stay with you. I won''t leave."


    Quinn stared at him with wide eyes.


    Somewhat exasperated, Alexander said, "How am I supposed to undress if you don''t let go?"
