Chapter 367

Author: Miss Jean-Jean
Despite her age, Gwendolyn's observational skills were unparalleled. Quinn had no choice but to remain still and allow Xavier to hold her hand.

Her hand was icy compared to his. Xavier had intended to pull away, but when he felt the cold in her hand, he couldn't help but want to warm it.

Although the air conditioner was on in the private room, it wasn't particularly cold. Despite that, Quinn's hand was like ice, which was really concerning.

"Why aren't you eating, Quinny? You're hardly eating anything," Gwendolyn said worriedly. She felt that Quinn looked a bit thin.

Quinn turned to Gwendolyn and smiled. She said, "I'm just trying to lose a bit of weight, Grandma. You don't need to be so concerned."

Gwendolyn let out a sigh and said, "You're already so thin, Quinny! You don't need to diet like those women you see on the street. Your health is more important than any fad diet."

"Did you hear that? Mrs. Gratell Senior says you need to eat more," Xavier said as he promptly handed he

    Xavier held onto Quinn's hand tightly as they walked side by side on the street.It was decked out in vibrant lights, which cast a magical glow over the entire area. As darkness enveloped the city, the street became even more enchanting.Seeing that he wasn't going to let go, Quinn gave up struggling.She had never set foot in Havenport before, and she was amazed at how beautiful the city was.After a while, Quinn didn't feel like walking anymore. It was simply too crowded at that moment. "Let's head back," Quinn suggested. Given that Xavier had previously helped her, Quinn had always intended to return the favor. As much as she wanted to be nice to him, she really didn't like the feeling of being in a crowd."We can't go back yet. We have to walk to the end of this street first," Xavier insisted. His mind was still caught up in that local legend. Although he didn't believe in that kind of stuff, he didn't want to take any chances when it came to anything related to her.Quin

    After getting to the car, Xavier grabbed a clean towel and tightly wrapped Quinn in it. He then turned on the heater in the car.Despite his efforts, Quinn still sneezed.It was merely a sneeze, yet Xavier couldn't help but furrow his brow. He knew she was delicate and would catch a cold in the rain. He shouldn't have been so lenient with her earlier."Do you like being in the rain so much?""Yeah, it feels pretty good," Quinn replied. It was liberating to occasionally cast aside the constraints of adulthood and indulge in spontaneity.Upon seeing how smug she was, Xavier gave her cheek a playful pinch.Quinn shot him a glare. No one had ever dared to pinch her cheek before.However, Xavier remained completely unfazed."I'll make you some chicken noodle soup once we reach the hotel," Xavier said before returning to the driver's seat and starting the engine.Although it was warm in the car due to the heater, Quinn sneezed again.As a result, Xavier slammed on the gas pedal. An

    Quinn accepted the bowl of chicken noodle soup and took a sip of it. It wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. In fact, it was quite palatable. She ended up finishing the whole bowl.After finishing the soup, Quinn set down the empty bowl and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to watch the heavy rain. There was something special about Havenport in the rain.Xavier stood beside her, his gaze following hers as he said, "It's quite a lovely night."Havenport Grand Hotel offered the most picturesque night view of Havenport. And when it rained, Havenport looked like a scene straight out of a dream."Quinn merely hummed in response.At that moment, a tranquil peace enveloped them, which was a stark contrast to their usual passionate encounters.And much to his surprise, Xavier discovered that he actually enjoyed this sense of peace."Care for a drink?"At that moment, Quinn felt the urge to have a drink."Sounds good!"Xavier called for room service and ordered a bottle of re

    After that, in a fit of rage, Xavier gunned the engine and sped off. Meanwhile, Quinn hung up and turned her attention back to the road. They were on their way back to Jipsfort. As soon as she woke up in the morning, she left without waking Xavier.Lisa and Gwendolyn were seated in the back seat, with Lorraine in the passenger seat. Having recently gone through a divorce, Lorraine was looking for a change of scenery, so she joined them on their trip back to Jipsfort."What's the matter? Who was it?" Lorraine asked inquisitively."Xavier," Quinn stated plainly."Are you and Xavier…" Lorraine trailed off. She felt uncertain about how she should proceed with the question. There was certainly more to them than met the eye.Upon seeing that Quinn showed no inclination to respond, Lorraine decided against pressing further. Although the journey should have taken slightly over five hours, Quinn ended up driving for almost six. It was mainly because she had to make several stops along

    "Quinn!" At that moment, a familiar voice called out from behind her. Quinn looked back and noticed that Xavier, who usually carried himself with such elegance, was now in a state of complete disarray.She blinked in surprise as Xavier approached her step by step."Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be back in Jipsfort?" Xavier asked as he stood in front of her with a puzzled expression. "Did you come all this way because of me?""Shut up," Quinn said as she threw herself into his arms. "Are you injured? I'm taking you to the hospital immediately.""I'm alright. There was a multi-car pileup up the road, so I stopped to help out. I thought I spotted you from a distance, so I came over. You don't have to worry. All this blood on me isn't mine.""Really? Are you sure?""Yes," Xavier said as he embraced her tightly."Alright, go wait in the car. It's a pretty serious accident. I want to see if there's anything I can do to help," Xavier continued. After all, anyone who witnes

    Are you alright? If you need a break, I can take over," Quinn said though she sounded tired herself."You should get some sleep. I'll wake you up when we get there," Xavier said. As the man in the relationship, he should endure it. There was no way he would allow her to drive as all he wanted was for her to rest properly. Due to the car accident, there was a huge traffic jam on the way back. As a result, Xavier could only drive patiently through it.Although she was drowsy, Quinn felt very uncomfortable due to her wet clothes.Upon seeing that it was so late and she hadn't returned home, Lisa gave her a call."I'm really fine, Mom. I'll be home soon. Please don't wait for me and go to sleep first," Quinn said. She wasn't really sure when they would be able to get off the expressway since it was common for expressways to become congested after an accident."Alright, drive safely. There's no hurry," Lisa said. She had seen the news about the car accident on the expressway. As soon

    Upon seeing the bloodstains on Quinn and Xavier, Lisa and Lorraine were taken aback.Lisa rushed over to Quinn and asked, "What happened? Are you injured?""I'm fine, Mom. There was a big pileup on the expressway, so I stopped to help.""You're both soaked through! Go take a hot shower right away. You too, Xav!" Lisa exclaimed. They were both dripping wet, and she was worried that they might catch a cold. "Thanks, Ms. Gatrell," Xavier said. He offered her a warm smile.Maurice felt deeply unsettled. In the past, Lisa was all about him. Yet now, even after he humbled himself to beg her, she wouldn't even give him the time of day. "Come on, let's head inside," Lisa said to Quinn and Xavier.Quinn glanced over at Maurice.Upon seeing that, Maurice couldn't help but cower. After everything Quinn had done to him, he was actually a bit scared of her now."Get lost. You're defiling our place," Quinn said coldly."Did you see that, Lisa? Is this how you've raised your daughter? She

    Xavier, on the other hand, was assigned to the guest room, which also had a bathtub. Yet, he didn't even bother using it. He only enjoyed engaging in intimate activities with Quinn in the bathtub, after all. If he was by himself, he preferred to take a shower instead.After a quick shower, Xavier stepped out in a bathrobe. He didn't have any clothes here, so he would have to ask Ian to bring some over later.After soaking in a warm bath, Quinn felt significantly better.After stepping out of the bathroom, Xavier called her. As soon as she picked up, she was greeted by Xavier's deep voice. He asked, "Are you done showering?" Quinn hummed in response."Why not soak a little longer?""If I soak any longer, I'm going to pass out in the bathtub."At that very moment, someone knocked on Quinn's door."It's Mom, Quinny. Can I come in?""Oh, my mother's at the door. I'll hang up now."After hanging up the phone, Quinn went to answer the door and asked, "What's the matter, Mom?""Oh

    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.

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
