The car soon pulled up at Regal Riverside.


    Olivia had dinner ready and was waiting.


    "Mr. Kennedy, Mrs. Kennedy, you''re back. Wash up and eat," Olivia said, taking Alexander''s coat.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Quinn walked into the dining room and saw the familiar medicine again.


    She sighed, took the medicine, washed her hands, and came back to eat.


    After dinner, it got dark. The sky had been gloomy all afternoon, and now it was drizzling.


    Quinn was exhausted. She went upstairs, copsed on the bed, and fell asleep to the sound of rain.


    Alexander headed to his study.


    He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the rain with an unreadable expression.


    After a while, he opened the window, letting the rain drift in.


    He lit a cigarette, and the smoke mingled with the rain before disappearing into the night.


    Later that night, the rain got heavier. A thunderp jolted Quinn awake.


    She woke from a nightmare, gasping and staring at the ceiling, then touched her sweaty forehead.


    After calming down, she looked around the room.


    No one was there.


    Since thest time, Alexander hadn''te into this bedroom. Maybe he felt guilty.


    Quinn got out of bed. The window wasn''t closed properly, and rain hade in.

    She went to close it. Just as she touched it, another thunderp and lightning startled her.


    A few secondster, the bedroom door opened, and Alexander walked in.


    He saw Quinn crouching on the floor, hands over her ears, head buried in her knees, trembling.


    She had just woken from a nightmare, and the thunder was too much.


    Quinn''s heart pounded, and she couldn''t even close the window.


    Suddenly, a pair of shiny leather shoes appeared, stunning her.


    She looked up, but before she could see clearly, Alexander crouched in front of her.


    His face was close, and Quinn''s gaze flickered.

    Quinn pressed her lips together, not wanting to speak, but her eyes betrayed her fear.


    Their gazes met, and the room was quiet except for the rain.


    It was a familiar scene as she had experienced this many times.


    The wall she built against him crumbled with a single thunderp.


    She was vulnerable and helpless again.


    As Quinn was lost in thought, another thunderp sounded. She forced herself not to throw herself into his arms.


    But then, Alexander pulled her into his embrace, her cheek hitting his solid chest.
