Seeing Quinn was okay, everyone left.


    Quinn checked her phone-it was already 7 PM.


    She quickly got up to help move things. Some folks were heading back to the office for dinner, others were going home.


    After most people left, Quinn went to the nearest parking lot and took the bodyguard''s car home.


    When she got back, she was surprised Alexander wasn''t there.


    Only Olivia was waiting. She smiled and said, "Mrs. Kennedy, you''re back?"


    Quinn nodded and asked, "Is he noting back?"


    Olivia replied, "Mr. Kennedy said he had something to do and would be backte. He asked you to eat first."


    Quinn felt uneasy.


    She suddenly thought about Alexander''s talk of killing Walter. Could his business be rted to that?


    "ed to use the restroom," Quinn said quickly. She rushed upstairs, locked herself in the room, and called Walter.


    However, his phone was off.


    She kept calling, but it stayed off.


    Desperate, she tried a voice call, but no answer.


    How could this be?


    Her heart raced, and she clutched her phone tightly. A sh of lightning outside startled her.


    Quinn checked her contact list, took a deep breath, and then called Alexander.


    He answered quickly, his deep voice asking, "What''s up?"


    Quinn tried to stay calm, "Where are you?"


    Just a heads up:  is the only ce to read theplete version of this book for free. Don''t miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey!


    "Out," Alexander replied.


    Quinn didn''t know how to ask without provoking him. If Walter wasn''t dead yet, he might be because of her question.


    Noticing her silence, Alexander asked again, "What is it?"


    "It''s going to rain, and I''m a bit scared. Can youe back?" Quinn''s voice sounded scared and pitiful.


    Alexander chuckled, his voice softening, "Alright."


    Quinn hung up, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, hoping her plea would make Alexander spare Walter.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    If Alexander had any sense, he would know what killing Walter would mean.


    Quinn waited anxiously for over half an hour. She heard a car engine outside and got nervous.


    Soon, Alexander walked in.


    Quinn immediately stood up, staring at him.


    He walked slowly to her, looked at her for a moment, his expression unreadable. "Have you eaten?"


    Quinn shook her head. "I was waiting to eat with you."


    Alexander stared at her for a long time, making Quinn''s scalp tingle.


    Just when she couldn''t bear his gaze any longer, he smiled slightly and pulled her into his arms. "Don''t wait for me next time. Let''s go."


    Quinn hadn''t done hisundry in a long time, yet he still carried a faint scent that evoked indescribable feelings in her.


    Quinn followed him to the dining room. She ate absentmindedly, ncing at Alexander from time to time.


    But she couldn''t discern anything and didn''t dare to ask.


    After dinner, she took her medicine, and for the first time, it seemed tasteless.
