Gwendolyn left feeling a mix of happiness and sadness. It had been a good day, but it was also tinged with melancholy.After seeing Gwendolyn go inside, Quinn walked over to Xavier and asked, "Didn't I tell you to go back home? Why are you still hanging around here?"Xavier pulled Quinn over and seated her on the small stool. It was the one that Gwendolyn had bought for gardening purposes.Quinn sat on the stool while Xavier lounged on the ground, his gaze fixed intently upon her."What's the matter? Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?" Quinn asked."I love watching you! You're so beautiful!" Xavier exclaimed. He felt that Quinn looked even more stunning under the moonlight too. "It's your birthday tomorrow. Are you sure you can't spend it with me?" he asked."I want to spend it with my mother," Quinn replied. Her birthday coincided with Lisa's tragedy, so she knew that she had to be there for her. "Alright then," Xavier simply said. He knew th
Quinn gathered her hair and secured it in a low ponytail.As Philip watched from below, Quinn gestured for him to join her in the ring, saying, "Come up here."Philip stepped into the ring and said, "I'm going for it now, Quinny.""Alright."Philip had been performing exceptionally well at the boxing gym lately and had defeated numerous formidable opponents. As a result, as soon as he stepped onto the ring, he attracted a lot of attention.Meanwhile, Xavier watched from below the ring, holding onto Quinn's clothes. He was captivated by her carefree and confident demeanor on the ring. Not to mention, she looked absolutely stunning.All boxing matches were known for their intensity. There was no room for holding back in the ring, and boxers gave it their all and threw punches with full force.Philip had been training incredibly hard recently. He was eager to see the results of his hard work, so his strikes were forceful and unrelenting.Yet, no matter how he struck, Quinn effortl
In that moment, Xavier really wanted to keep Quinn out of everyone's sight.Just then, Philip stepped off the ring and approached Quinn. He asked, "I've got a match coming up soon, Quinny. Can you make it? I'd love for you to be there."Quinn was incredibly important to him. If it hadn't been for her, Phillip would have given up a long time ago."Give it your all in the match. I might not be able to make it," Quinn simply said.Given the complexity of the situation in Dudore, Edgar probably couldn't handle it all alone. Quinn herself was worried as well.Upon hearing that, Philip felt a little disappointed. "Are you going to come back to the boxing gym again?""I'll come by again when I have the time. You should prepare well for the match and have faith in yourself. You've definitely got this. If you need any help, feel free to call me.""Got it, Quinny. Can I treat you to dinner then? I really want to thank you for all the help you've given me," Philip said. He genuinely wanted
"What's the matter? Are you in a hurry?" Xavier quipped.Quinn didn't bother to reply to him. Suddenly, lightning struck and thunder roared. The sky too, turned dark, as if a fierce storm was imminent.Quinn got up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window.A lot of women would be scared of a storm like this, yet she found a certain tranquility in the darkness and the rain.After a glass of red wine, she was feeling slightly buzzed.Quinn had always enjoyed the feeling of being slightly tipsy. Although being drunk was somewhat uncomfortable, the mild intoxication brought her a sense of ease. At that moment, she was the most authentic version of herself.Xavier joined her to gaze up at the stormy sky. He enjoyed these kinds of nights as well, watching the heavy rain cleanse the surroundings. He would wake up the following day, feeling as though everything was fresh and new. It was a rather comfortable feeling.It started raining heavily soon after.Just then, Quinn'
Given his youth and physical prowess, Xavier was able to experiment with positions that would have been beyond the capabilities of most.They made love several times throughout the night. Yet, instead of feeling tired, Xavier felt like he hadn't had enough."What am I supposed to do now, Quinn? I feel like I'm going to die from you sooner or later," Xavier said, unable to control himself in Quinn's presence.At that moment, Quinn was completely spent. She leaned her head on Xavier's arm and briefly glanced at him, saying, "If you're scared of dying, you can always—"Xavier couldn't bear to hear her words anymore and silenced her with an intense and passionate kiss."Please don't say things like that anymore. I'd be happy to die for you," Xavier said with a smile. "It's already getting late. You should get some sleep now."At that moment, Quinn could barely keep her eyes open. They had been going at it for two hours, after all.It was Quinn's birthday the following day, which mea
"You're not Maurice's daughter, Kimberly," Araminta said, finally revealing the truth. If there had been any other way, she would never have staked everything on seeking out Maurice.She had initially planned to use her pregnancy to keep Gregory by her side. Yet, Gregory was unwilling to be bound by such means and even insisted that she terminate the pregnancy.Araminta had therefore decided to go after Maurice after considering the formidable nature of Four Seasons Incorporated at that time."Huh? How is that possible? How could I not be Maurice's daughter?" Kimberly exclaimed, utterly bewildered. She had never even considered this possibility. What on earth was happening at this moment?"You don't have to worry about the details. And please stop asking so many questions. All you have to do is seek out your biological father. As long as you do that, he'll definitely help you," Araminta said. She felt that they would still have a chance in life as long as Kimberly was acknowled
Quinn collapsed onto the couch, feeling utterly exhausted.At that moment, Xavier tried to feed her some seafood risotto.Quinn merely glanced at him, thinking that Xavier had completely disregarded her pleas to go easy on her the previous night."Oh, come on. Please don't be upset. I simply got carried away," Xavier said. It was the same thing every single time. As soon as he got caught up in the moment, he wouldn't be able to restrain himself.Quinn merely sneered and turned her head away.Upon seeing her behave in such a way, Xavier simply thought she was adorable. "I'm really sorry. I promise it won't happen again. I'll do whatever you say next time. Whether you want me to stop, go deeper, or go shallower, your wish is my command."Xavier tried his best to appease her, but Quinn was still furious."Come on, Quinny. You should eat some, or your stomach will start to hurt again," Xavier said worriedly.After eating a few bites, Quinn suddenly received a call from Edgar."Kim
Since Samuel was already at the door, it would seem rude not to invite him in.At that thought, Quinn went downstairs to meet him."Mom, I have a friend over. I'm stepping out for a bit," she said before heading outside."A friend? What friend?" Lorraine asked, clearly intrigued.She glanced over at Xavier as she thought that he should know. But he simply shook his head, indicating he had no idea who was outside.Before long, Quinn returned with Samuel."Mom, this is Samuel Kane, the heir to Kane Group. We work with them."No matter what, he was still a business associate. If he had come all the way here to celebrate her birthday, she couldn't very well send him away.Xavier pressed his tongue against his molars and let out a grunt.This kid still hadn't given up? He had already told him to back off from Quinn."It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Gatrell." Samuel was visibly nervous. Maybe because he cared a lot about this encounter."Hi! Thanks for remembering Quinny's birthd
