GoodRead"Shouldn't we be dining? Why are we not yet eating?" Alexander's interjection restored his composed demeanor,
as if he hadn't been the one seething with anger just moments before.
Attempting to alleviate the tension, Walter proposed, "Let's proceed to the dining room then. There's no need for
this unnecessary strain."
As he spoke, Freya threaded her arm through his, her face bearing a hint of worry as she looked up at
him.Alexander shifted his attention to Quinn, his fingers lightly grazing the tender spot where she had been
injured. "Does it still hurt?" he inquired.
Quinn, studying his face, could discern the genuine worry in his eyes.
She mused, 'He's always like this. At times, he's so close to me, akin to the moon reflected in a body of water,
seemingly reachable with a mere stretch of my arm. But when | attempt to clutch that moon, it proves to be
nothing more than an illusion, fracturing at the slightest touch. 'This is his method of guiding me, step by step,

corporation. The branch office that Hugh managed was Wayne's dowry gift to Valerie, signifying a 10% stake in
the Kennedy Enterprise.
Freya was given a similar arrangement when she married. A branch representing 10% of the shares was handed
to her, though she exhibited little interest in corporate affairs, leaving Walter to handle them.
Moreover, Walter also held the position of Vice President in the Kennedy Enterprise. Lastly, there was Wayne's
youngest son, who held neither a position in the Kennedy Enterprise nor any significant shares, living his days in
