Maurice's actions led Quinn to believe that all men were bad.When he noticed that she was struggling to deal with her emotions, Xavier pulled her into his arms to silently offer her comfort.Quinn tried to push him away, but he held her so tightly she couldn't escape.She hit him, and Xavier let out a muffled groan of pain. His back was injured badly, and he couldn't handle the impact well.At that moment, Lisa's voice grew sharper. "Quinny, what's that noise? Is there a man there?"Quinn stopped resisting."No, Mom. There's no man," she lied. Her relationship with Xavier was purely physical. There was no need for Lisa to know about him."Mom, I'm tired. I want to go to bed now. You should rest too. I'll come pick you up soon."Since returning, she had been so caught up with various issues that she hadn't had the chance to visit her grandparents. She wondered how they were doing."Mom, give the phone to the nurse. I'd like to speak with her for a moment.""Okay."Lisa hande

Quinn was genuinely speechless. What did he think of her?Without saying anything, she unfastened his shirt buttons and removed his clothes. His wounds had reopened."It's fine. I can go to the hospital for a dressing change tomorrow."Quinn had initially thought she would be indifferent, given that their relationship was purely a one-night stand.However, seeing his bloodied back made her heart ache.If it weren't for protecting her and Ian, he could have escaped. He had risked everything to protect her.Her heart wasn't made of steel. How could she not feel anything?Noticing her lingering gaze on his back, Xavier pulled her into his embrace."Don't pity me, Quinn. My injuries are my own doing. They have nothing to do with you."He didn't want her to feel guilty for his wounds. Everything was his own choice."Let's go to the hospital." Quinn cleared her throat before speaking."There's no need to go. I just accidentally aggravated the wound."When Quinn tried to move away

Xavier tempted Quinn with all his might.A man who had been with women often had muscle memory for these things.Even though they had only been intimate twice, he had already learned her most sensitive spots. His touch was electrifying, and he made her shiver with every caress.At first, Quinn genuinely resisted. However, gradually, she found herself unable and unwilling to refuse.Xavier was undeniably an exceptional lover.Their first time had been painful, but ultimately, it had been satisfying. The last time on Protrie Highway, he had gone to great lengths to please her, making her addicted to the pleasure he provided.Tonight, Xavier was just as intent on pleasing her. Despite his own desires, he restrained himself and focused on her pleasure.The man who usually stood above all was now willing to humble himself for a woman. How could she possibly resist?Perhaps it was the phone call from Lisa or the shared brush with death earlier, but Quinn no longer wanted to resist.

Quinn gave Xavier a look."I can help you wash up." He volunteered."No need, Xavier. Your back can't get wet. Just use a towel to wipe your body." Quinn got out of bed.She couldn't sleep if she didn't shower after their intimate moment.As Quinn entered the bathroom, Xavier's lips curved into a smile.He had been particularly demanding tonight. After the explosion, he wanted to feel her presence in this way. She was like a drug—once he was hooked, he couldn't escape.It seemed he was genuinely caught up in her.Seeing her distressed made him feel pain, and once they were in bed, he just wanted to consume her.Quinn took a quick shower and emerged with her hair half-dried, wearing one of Xavier's black shirts. The sight of her in the shirt was intensely tempting."Why are you still here?" Wasn't he tired?"I just wanted to stay with you for a while."Quinn ignored him and slipped under the covers."Quinny, can I sleep with you?" He did mean just sleeping. He wouldn't make

Moreover, Maurice loved Araminta. Kimberly was sure that they would reconcile by the next day.Meanwhile, after returning to his room, Maurice received a call from Kara."Mr. Jowell, I'm so scared living here alone. Can you come over and keep me company? Your son says he misses you. He hasn't seen you all day."Kara's voice was sweet and pleading.Hearing her voice cheered Maurice up a little.Yes, he would have a son soon. Once Kara gave him a son, he would be able to hold his head high in his hometown.Despite his wealth, the people there had always claimed that the Jowell family was dying out."Alright, take good care of yourself and our child. I'll come see you another day," Maurice reassured Kara.Since she was carrying his child, he was willing to treat her well. He ended the call when he heard someone at the door.When Araminta came in, Maurice ignored her and went to sleep.By the next morning, no one had any news about Quinn's condition.Luna arrived at the office a

"Don't you hear me, Ms. Lewitt? Kane Group's bidding conference is only a couple of days away. We finally secured a spot. Do you want to give up now?" Araminta was very displeased with Luna's silence."The effort was put in by Ms. Jowell and us and has nothing to do with you." Ryan couldn't hold back any longer. How could anyone be so shameless?At first, no one believed in them. The only thing they wanted was to drive Quinn out of Four Seasons Incorporated.Now that she had finally made progress with the project, they were trying to take it away from her.Araminta shot Ryan a warning look. With Quinn missing, who gave him the audacity to speak to her like this?"What? Did I say something wrong? How can you be so shameless, trying to take credit for someone else's work?"Ryan was deeply grateful to Quinn. If something had really happened to her, there would be no reason for him to stay on the project."Ryan, wait for me outside," Luna said. She saw that Araminta was getting angr

Quinn tried to adjust her shirt, but Xavier had already laid her down on the bed."What are you looking for?"Both of them were wearing matching black shirts, which looked quite suggestive."A charger. My phone died." There must have been many calls for her last night.Xavier retrieved a charger from the nightstand drawer and handed it to her. "If you ever need anything, just ask me directly." He didn't want her to go through any trouble.Quinn didn't respond but began charging her phone.When she glanced at the time, she saw it was nearly 10:00 am. How could she have slept so late? She rarely overslept.Despite being exhausted, she usually woke up early without needing an alarm.Seeing her frown, Xavier asked lazily, "What's wrong? I told you exercise helps with sleep. If you ever have trouble sleeping, you can always come to me."He was more than willing to help her sleep well."I've prepared clothes for you. Would you like me to help you put them on?" Xavier offered after

Quinn came downstairs after changing and, as expected, saw Xavier waiting by the staircase. He had prepared working attire for her today.Wearing a black shirt and suit pants, Quinn tucked the shirt into her trousers. Even so, her waist still looked slender and delicate."I made breakfast. Give it a try."He knew she hated drinking those traditional medicines. They were hard to swallow for her. So, he learned how to make medicinal cuisine, thinking it might be more acceptable to her.Quinn followed him to the dining table. Seeing the breakfast laid out, she raised an eyebrow."Did you make all this?""Yes. Don’t worry! I’ll get better at it over time." This was just the beginning.She was speechless.Xavier pulled out a chair for her. She sat down, and he placed a bowl of oatmeal in front of her."Have some oatmeal. I made it, but the pastries were delivered."He was smart, but cooking was something that had to be learned gradually. Especially since she was quite picky. If th

Whoever said women lack desire was wrong. Sometimes, a woman's longing could catch the man off guard.Faced with Quinn's boldness, Xavier found it impossible to resist. His desire for her was burning within him.Since being with her, he'd wanted her constantly, and tonight was no exception.Quinn tilted her head, and Xavier landed a peck on her neck, one of her most alluring features.His kiss felt like a gentle spring breeze as he began softly at her lips.That light touch flipped a switch within her. It sent electric tingles racing through her body. It was as if he wielded some mysterious power. As he glided his lips down her neck, each caress sent shivers coursing through her, making her tremble involuntarily.With each kiss moving lower, her heartbeat quickened. She felt as though she were immersed in a sweet dream, and his kisses were the leading melody of this ethereal experience.From her lips to her neck and then to her chest, each kiss ignited a flame deep within her. She cou

"I can't go to the hospital. I messed with the wrong people," Edison murmured. He remembered Quinn's warning. She was connected to Xavier, and he wouldn't dare provoke him."Who did you mess with?" Frank asked, but Edison brushed him off. "How's it going with the research institute?"At the mention of it, Frank hesitated. Was Quinn really that influential? Could Edison's beating be connected to her?"It's... fine. You should rest, Dad. I have to go study," Frank replied. He dared not mention how Quinn had twisted his arm.Meanwhile, Xavier and Quinn escorted Edgar back to the hospital.Edgar clearly didn't want to stay. "Ms. Quinn, I'd really like to go home. I don't like staying in the hospital." His days in the hospital felt like years dragging by—an experience that was anything but pleasant."Did the doctor say you could go home?" Quinn asked."I'm really fine, Ms. Quinn.""Only when the doctor says so." Quinn ignored his complaints."It's suffocating in here. I need to che

Edison's plump body crashed to the floor with a heavy thud.Quinn stepped on his hand, eliciting a pained scream from him.Edison stared up at her, bewildered. This young lady, who looked like an angel, was surprisingly brutal."Do you know what Edgar looked like when I found him?" Quinn's voice was icy.Edgar was like a younger brother to her, and she wouldn't stand for anyone hurting him.Edison fell silent after realizing he had underestimated her."How do you plan to pay for this, Edison?" Quinn picked up a fork from the table.Edison tried to get up, but with her foot on his hand, he couldn't move at all. "What are you doing? Let me tell you—"Before he could finish his sentence, Quinn drove the fork through his palm. His screams echoed in the room.Edison had never imagined they would dare to act so brazenly in Dudore. As he looked at his bleeding hand, his entire body trembled in fear. "W-What do you want?"The two bodyguards looked pale at the sight. They had never en

Since they were going to take revenge, Quinn had already ensured they knew the Faulkner family's whereabouts.The current head of the Faulkner family, Edison Faulkner, was responsible for what happened to Edgar. He was also Frank's father.Edison had a dinner engagement that night at a high-end clubhouse in Dudore.Though once a prestigious family, the Faulkner family had been struggling in recent years, but Edison was unwilling to accept that decline.He was determined to send Frank to the research institute, hoping that would restore the family's status. Tonight's dinner was meant to entertain higher-ups from the institute.As the glasses clinked and laughter filled the air, the door to the private room swung open unexpectedly.Edison frowned. Who was the blind fool who chose to enter at this hour? He already had people guarding the door."Who is it? I specifically said no one is allowed to enter!" Edison snapped.The higher-ups from the institute also wore grim expressions.

"Kid, you should just go face your punishment," Quinn said, declining."Come on, miss. Help me out here!" the young man pleaded."I can't help you. You can go now."The young man looked disappointed, but since Quinn had clearly rejected him, he had no choice but to leave."That poor guy," Nadia joked.Xavier, however, didn't share her sentiment. "I think Quinny handled it well. If she gave just anyone her number, she'd be in trouble someday."Besides, it wasn't like their game had anything to do with her. Why should she comply?They sat in the bar for over an hour.Quinn had something to attend to, so she took Nadia home first."Where are you going? Do you need my help?" Nadia asked. Although she wasn't good at fighting, she was willing to lend a hand."Just get some rest. It's nothing major. I'll handle it and be back before you know it," Quinn replied."Are you sure you'll be back tonight?" Nadia glanced at Xavier. She knew he couldn't leave her alone."Go home. Just make

"Nada, this fish is delicious. You should try it," Quinn said, passing the dish over.Nadia took a piece and nodded in approval. "This place really has great flavor. We should come here again."With both of them being people who didn't particularly enjoy cooking, they would probably end up eating out frequently."If you like it, I can have them deliver to your house. I'll get the manager to give you a business card later," Xavier offered.This restaurant didn't just have excellent food. The hygiene and service were top-notch as well."Really? I thought such a high-end restaurant wouldn't do deliveries.""They do," Xavier said. It was just a matter of asking anyway.After dinner, Nadia wanted to unwind a bit. Since arriving in Dudore, she hadn't had the chance to visit a bar, and Dudore was known for its nightlife.Now that she was here, she naturally had to experience it for herself."Quinny, are you heading back to the research institute tonight? If not, let's go to a bar for

Lisa's tone was especially gentle. After nearly three months of treatment, her condition had improved significantly.Gradually, she was becoming the serene Lisa she once was.Once the call ended, Quinn gazed out the window, oblivious to the fact that Xavier was still holding her hand.Xavier was holding her hand with one hand and gripping the steering wheel with the other. It wasn't until they reached the restaurant that he finally let go.He dropped Quinn and Nadia at the restaurant entrance while he went to find parking. The parking area was quite far, so he didn't ask them to come along.As he drove off, Quinn and Nadia waited at the entrance."Quinny, it's great to see Lisa coming back to herself," Nadia said with a smile.Although the past five years had been challenging, it was comforting to see everything getting better.Quinn felt a wave of joy as she reflected on Lisa's remarkable recovery. Given how bad Lisa had been before, it brought her immense happiness to see her

Nadia opened the car door and hopped in.Quinn wanted to join her at the back, but she declined. "Just sit in the front. It's a hassle switching around."Xavier smiled at this. Nadia, indeed, knew how to read the situation.She returned his smile.Xavier was a big shot, after all. Of course, she had to be wise."How's the hiring going? Do you need my help?" Quinn turned to Nadia."Don't worry. I've already hired three people. Since Sully is just starting out, I want to take it slow. I don't want to hire too many at once.""Alright, I'll leave it to you, then." Quinn was just the investor. She wouldn't interfere too much with how Nadia chose to run things."By the way, Quinny, how's everything at the research institute? You need to be cautious around those who hurt Edgar," Nadia said with a hint of worry."I know. Don't worry. There's no need to be concerned about them."Nadia shook her head. "Quinny, this is Dudore. You should be careful." People here would do anything for pr

Kimberly was also present. Noticing Simon's concern for Quinn made her fists clench unconsciously.She had her own plans to go out today. Gregory was going to introduce her to a big shot. He was slowly coming to recognize her potential and would provide her with all his resources."Simon, you know I'm not Maurice's daughter. I'm Gregory's daughter. Gregory Thorpe from the Thorpe family of Dudore. You're aware of that, right?" Kimberly spoke with pride.Simon looked into her eyes. "So what?""My dad is introducing me to a big shot today. Do you want to come? If you agree to get back with me now, I'll overlook everything that happened before.""No, thanks. I really don't need that. You go ahead," Simon replied firmly.In the past, it had always been Shania pushing him. Yet deep down, he wanted to stand on his own. It might seem naive, but he wanted to give it a try.Seeing him try to walk away, Kimberly grabbed his hand. "Simon, don't you want to get your mom out soon?"Why was h
