Quinn was a bit surprised to get a message from Walter.


    She quickly walked to thepany entrance and spotted Walter''s car. Knowing Alexander''s bodyguards were watching from the shadows, she didn''t bother hiding. She just opened the car door and got in. Walter was inside, wearing his usual smile and suit.


    "How''s work been?" heasked, sounding concerned.


    Quinn smiled. "Pretty interesting."


    "Really? I heard Maya''s been giving you a hard time. You still find it interesting?" Walter said, surprised.


    Quinnughed, thinking of Maya''s angry face. "Yeah."


    Maya''s antics didn''t bother Quinn. Compared to Alexander and Walter, Maya''s schemes were child''s y. She didn''t take it to heart.


    Suddenly, Quinn remembered something. "Why did you want to see me? Is it because..."


    She didn''t finish, but Walter got it.


    Walter shook his head. "Not yet. I came to give you something."


    He pulled out an exquisite box from the glovepartment and handed it to Quinn. "Here."


    Quinn opened the box. Inside was a pendant, a hollow alloy sphere like a tiny bell, the size of a fingertip. She shook it, feeling something inside, but it made no sound.


    "What is this?" Quinn asked, curious.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Walter took the pendant from her hand, his fingers caressing the sphere. "Your birthday present."


    Quinn''s smile stiffened. "My birthday present?"

    "Don''t you remember?" Walter asked.


    Quinn lowered her head. She really didn''t. For years, her birthday marked the day she joined the Kennedy family.


    Now that she thought about it, that birthday felt like a disgrace.


    It was more like the anniversary of Henry and Sophia''s death. She had celebrated her birthday on their death anniversary several times.


    If they knew, she couldn''t imagine what they''d think of her.


    "Come here, let me put it on you," Walter interrupted her thoughts.


    Quinn shook off her sadness and leaned towards Walter.


    Walter put the pendant around her neck and tidied her hair.

    They were very close, less than four inches apart.


    Quinn could clearly sense his breathing.


    His cool fingers wandered over Quinn''s cheek. As their eyes met, she saw an inscrutable look in Walter''s eyes.


    It seemed like he was looking at Quinn, but also through her, at someone else.


    Was it another woman, or her younger self? She couldn''t tell.


    He cupped Quinn''s face and murmured, "Didn''t you say you wanted to marry me when you grew up?"


    Quinn was slightly taken aback.
