Love Unspoken

After a period of careful manipulation, they succeeded in shattering the display. Once the screen was removed, all that remained was a black band encircling Quinn's ankle.

It bore a resemblance to a bracelet, exuding a certain stylishness, if one could overlook its original function as a monitoring device.

One of the experts produced their tools and delicately scraped the surface of the band. Despite their efforts, they only managed to collect a minuscule amount of powder. "I'll take this back with me to analyze what kind of material it is," they announced. The man gave a nod of approval. "Alright, you guys go ahead and study that. You can go."

With that, the group gathered their belongings and rose to leave, leaving only Quinn and the man behind, their gazes locked in silent communication.

He cast a glance at his watch; Alexander should be returning soon.At that very moment, Alexander found himself ensnared in a web of traffic, fingers pressed against his forehead in a clear display of exhaustion. Kyle Astor, who was driving, occasionally stole glances at Alexander.

The board meeting that had stretched throughout the day had indeed been taxing. After a moment of contemplation, he finally voiced his concern, "Alexander, Walter has taken off. Should we go after him?"

Without even raising his eyes, Alexander responded indifferently, "Of course we bring him back."He added, "Walter wouldn't leave Amber Bay that easily.

Search thoroughly.""Sure... But how did you know?" Kyle asked, curiosity piqued.Alexander merely hummed in response, leaving Kyle to awkwardly fall silent. Meanwhile, back at the Empire River Estate. The man quickly briefed Alexander on the situation.

Without missing a beat, Alexander strode purposefully toward the house. As they walked side by side, the man asked, "Alexander, what should we do now?""Get a few signal jammers," Alexander commanded."Understood."

As Alexander entered the house, the man wisely held back, smoothly exiting the villa.Standing at the doorway, Alexander's gaze fell upon a figure sprawled on the sofa.

Quinn was lazily seated, her gaze fixed on her ankles, her hair cascading on either side of her face, effectively hiding her cheeks.

She was completely unaware of Alexander's return. That was until a hand gently landed on top of her head.Startled, Quinn lifted her head to meet the man's intense gaze. His eyes were a complex mix of emotions, a hint of indifference barely visible beneath the profound depth.

Quinn's fingers tightened involuntarily. She was suddenly reminded of their time at the farm when he had asked if she wanted to leave.

She took a step back. Back then, his demeanor had been cold and disappointed. For a moment, he seemed distant, as if the deep affection he had shown inside the cave was nothing more than an illusion.With Alexander, she had experienced this illusion more than once. Upon reflection, hadn't she spent the last twenty years living in her own delusions...

With a heavy heart, Quinn lowered her gaze. Without uttering a word, Alexander turned and ascended the stairs, leaving Quinn to watch his retreating figure.

Her actions from the previous day and his unwavering decision to follow her off the cliff; he had every right to be disappointed.

With a sigh, Quinn averted her gaze.After an indeterminable amount of time, Quinn finally rose from her seat and made her way to the kitchen.She stared at the full spread on the table, then cast a glance upstairs, gathering the courage to ascend. Before she approached the study, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
