"Then why are you still sitting here?"
Quinn froze for a moment, and quickly explained, "Didn't you tellto eat? I...I'll leave after eating. If you're not
happy, | won't eat." Alexander just looked at her and smiled, but his smile wasn't as pleasant. There was even a
trace of anger at the corners of his mouth. Quinn fell silent for a while, then stood up to leave.
However, before she could take a single step, Alexander's hand shot out, pulling her back. She was flung onto
the sofa, her shin colliding with the edge. A wave of pain surged from her shin, coursing up her spine in a
manner she had never experienced before. Her mouth fell open, her face contorting in agony, tears welling up in
her eyes.
Alexander approached her, his hand capturing her chin, tilting her face towards his. He studied her features, his
gaze intense.
Quinn met his gaze, her own filled with difficulty. Gradually, the pain began to recede.
Alexander's dark eyes held her gaze, his voice breaking the silence, "Quinn, what exactly are you doing?"
Quinn's mouth twitched, words failing her.
"You beratefor leaving you, yet you attempt to leave the very next moment. Are you toying with me?" He
patted her cheek lightly, his tone stern. "Don't indulge in such games, understand?"
Quinn was taken aback. She wasn't playing games...
She wanted to explain, but before she could raise her hand, Alexander got up and left.
She watched his retreating figure, her eyes filling with tears, whether from the pain or something else, she
couldn't tell.
This time, he didn't return.

in her mouth. Soren noticed her lack of appetite and didn't press her to eat. Instead, he offered her a bowl! of
oatmeal, advising, "If you can't eat, don't force yourself. Drink this oatmeal and go to sleep."
Quinn nodded, accepting the bowl. She drank the oatmeal as if it were plain water.Soren watched her, a sigh
escaping his lips as he noted her dwindling frame.
He reminded Quinn to take her medication before departing the villa, Alexander hadn't instructed him to
stay.After taking her medicine, Quinn felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her. She settled onto the familiar
couch, the room growing quiet.

Outside, the wind howled, a faint sobbing sound carried on the breeze. The ticking of the wall clock filled the
room, adding to the eerie silence. She curled up on the couch and fell asleep unknowingly. Meanwhile, Alexander
exited his office. As he reached the parking lot, an arm snaked around his waist from behind.He paused for a
moment, lifted the hand on his waist, and turned to look at Getty. "Why are you here?"
"| cto wait for you. | was bored at home. | even rescheduled my plans for the next two weeks just to spend
twith you, but you stayed late at the office."
Getty nestled into his embrace, her voice filled with complaint. These days, Alexander would always visit her,
prompting Getty to adjust her plans.
She looked up at him, her voice coy, "Shall we go htogether?"
Alexander's arm wrapped around her, his actions affectionate, though his words were far from it. "I'm not going
to your place tonight." Getty's smile froze, not just because he declined her invitation, but because he referred to
it as "your place" rather than "our place".
It dawned on her that this man had never considered her has his own.
