GoodRead"That's your brother, right?" Orion inquired, his gaze following the couple ahead. "Is he here with his girlfriend to
watch a movie?"
The question hung in the air, and Quinn felt a sharp pang in her heart. The word "brother" felt like a knife, slicing
through her composure. She was caught off guard, her eyes drawn to the couple ahead. Getty was clinging to
Alexander's arm, and he, in turn, had his arm wrapped affectionately around her waist. They strolled into the
mall, their laughter echoing in the air.
Only when their figures had vanished from sight did Quinn manage to tear her gaze away. A bitter reminder
washed over her; they were divorced now. Once, she might have had the right to feel anger or sadness, but now,
she didn't even have the privilege of mourning.
With a sigh, she opened the car door and stepped out, trailing behind Orion. He reached out to grab her wrist,
intending to lead her inside. However, his grip landed on her injured wrist, causing her to gasp in pain and
instinctively push him away.
Orion was taken aback by her reaction. He looked at Quinn, remorse filling his eyes. "I'm sorry," he apologized.
Quinn grimaced, her brows furrowing in pain. She rolled up her sleeve, revealing the blood-soaked bandage
wrapped around her wrist.
Orion's eyes widened at the sight. "What happened to you?" he asked, concern etching his features.
Quinn shook her head, her confusion matching his. The feeling of not knowing was somehow more unsettling
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthan seeing Alexander and Getty together. Orion studied her, his gaze penetrating, as if trying to decipher the
secrets hidden behind her bright eyes.
From the moment he first saw her, he had been captivated by the stories her eyes seemed to hold. They stirred
a curiosity within him, a desire to understand her thoughts, her past. Perhaps it was a man's misfortune to feel
such compassion or curiosity towards a woman. The scould be said for a woman.
"The movie is about to start. Let's go inside," he suggested, breaking the silence.
Quinn nodded, pulling her sleeve back down to cover the wound. She followed Orion into the cinema, cradling
the popcorn and cola he had bought for her. She took a sip of the cold drink, and almost immediately, a dull ache
began to throb in her lower abdomen.
She set the cola down, her hand instinctively moving to rub her stomach. Orion noticed her discomfort and
asked, "Can't you handle cold drinks? I'm sorry; I'll buy you another one." Before she could respond, Orion was
already on his feet, taking the cold cola with him as he left to buy a warm one.
"Alexander, | also want cola," a familiar voice called out from behind.
Quinn's heart clenched at the sound. She turned around to see Getty and Alexander approaching. Getty was
heavily disguised, her face hidden behind a mask and a hat, but Quinn would recognize her voice anywhere.
Alexander was dressed in a black trench coat, his cold demeanor amplified by his attire. For a moment, Quinn
felt a pang of nostalgia for the Alexander of the past, the one who used to wear white shirts.
As she turned around, Alexander's gaze met hers, his expression unreadable. Quinn quickly looked away, her
heart pounding in her chest. She heard Alexander's voice, "You stay here. I'll go buy it."
