"Ms. Quinn, you have to be careful. These people will do anything for control of the research institute," Edgar warned.This time, those people aimed to replace the founder."Yeah, I know. Don't worry."Dudore was a place where only the strong survived. If one wasn't strong enough, they were destined to be devoured.When Xavier and Nadia got off the plane, they headed straight to the hospital.Seeing both of them there, Edgar felt a bit embarrassed.Nadia's heart grew heavy seeing how badly Edgar was injured. Was Quinn doing something dangerous? She wanted to protect Quinn, but she knew she had no such capability.Quinn didn't expect Xavier to come to the hospital.After briefly checking on Edgar, Xavier pulled her outside."Are you trying to ditch me, Quinn?" There was anger in Xavier's voice.She had probably never intended for them to return together. She was always like this, thinking only about her own feelings.He felt as if he could be discarded at any time, and that
"Okay, just let me know if you need anything," Xavier said.Everyone had their own principles when it came to work. Although Xavier wanted to help Quinn, if she didn't want him to, he wouldn't push it."Shouldn't you have many things to handle at Lightcloud Corporation? You should head back," Quinn urged.He hadn't been there for a while. There had to be a lot waiting for him back at the company.Besides, Darius had been making waves lately.Quinn had heard of Darius. He was nothing but a despicable man, unremarkable but undeniably annoying at times."I'm not going anywhere. My men will handle it. I'm the boss. If I have to deal with everything myself, what's the point of having subordinates?"As a boss, his job was to make decisions. Everything else could be delegated.Right now, Xavier just wanted to enjoy a relationship with Quinn that didn't involve breaking up.Unfortunately, they could never seem to reach a consensus on that. She always had one foot out the door."Do wh
But there was nothing Edgar could do. Quinn had said he wasn't allowed to leave the hospital until he was better.Edgar didn't listen to anyone else, but he had no choice but to heed Quinn's words."Okay, just rest well and don't overthink things," Quinn said.He was still just a 20-year-old young man. It was normal for him to get into some trouble."Okay."After leaving the ward, Quinn needed to go to the restroom, and Nadia went with her. Xavier headed off to wait for them in the car.While washing her hands after using the restroom, Quinn felt someone staring at her. When she turned around, she saw a tall, thin woman.Quinn frowned. She didn't recognize this woman, yet the woman was staring at her intently."Do you know me? Or do you need me for something?" Quinn asked bluntly.Daphne wasn't even sure why she had been following Quinn secretly.If Xavier found out, he would surely be upset, but she couldn't control herself. She had just wanted to sneak a few glances but did
"Were you going to refuse?" Quinn asked.Nadia must have thought about coming over right away as well. Did she really think Quinn wouldn't know?Nadia replied, "Of course not! I love you so much. Of course, I want to see you as soon as possible.""Let's go!"The two of them left together.When they came out, Xavier had already parked the car on the roadside.Quinn opened the back door and let Nadia get in first before climbing into the car herself.Xavier drove off once he confirmed they were both inside.He chose the most famous grilled duck restaurant. Anyone visiting Dudore for the first time had to try the local grilled duck.This restaurant had a history of over a hundred years and had been featured on a TV show. Its rating was a perfect 100%.Xavier reserved the best private room."I know this place. It was on TV! I was drooling over it back then!" Nadia was incredibly excited.As expected of Xavier, he was always reliable and had never let anyone down."Yeah, I've b
When Quinn met Xavier's eyes in the rear-view mirror, he smiled at her.Seeing that, Quinn quickly looked away.Meanwhile, Nadia was too exhausted to speak. She had been on a flight for over two hours, and she hadn't taken an afternoon nap.Since middle school, she had developed the habit of needing a midday rest. No matter what was happening, she always had to nap a little in the afternoon.It wasn't long before she fell asleep on Quinn's shoulder."Where are you two staying? Do you have your own place?" Xavier asked, unsure of Quinn's plans."Yeah, we're living together."Edgar and the others had their own places. And since Nadia was starting her own brand, Quinn chose a spacious apartment in a prime location for them to stay together."You're living together?"Xavier wasn't entirely satisfied with that answer. He still felt it would be more convenient for her to live alone.Though he had his opinions, he didn't voice them since she wouldn't consider them anyway. She only c
Quinn had purchased a fully renovated apartment. It was located on the 20th floor. This was definitely a prime floor, and the price had to be quite high."Quinny, did you dig up some diamonds in the borderlands? How could you be this rich?" Nadia asked.She had just graduated from college and didn't have much money in her account. Yet Quinn seemed to have achieved financial freedom.It felt like Quinn could afford anything she desired."Not really. I just enjoy investing and made a bit of money," Quinn replied casually.Initially, life in the borderlands had been tough for her, but slowly, she found a way to earn. For her, making money had become a relatively easy task.This was how she was able to provide Lisa with the best treatment, as Lisa's nursing home was also the best in the area."I really envy you. You can excel at everything you do." At the same age, Nadia still felt like she was just treading water.Quinn reassured her. "What are you thinking? I think you're doing g
"I'm glad you like it. This is our home anyway. If you don't like it, you can always redecorate," Quinn said. She was leaving everything up to Nadia."Sounds good, but I really love this place just as it is," Nadia replied enthusiastically. "But are you sure you want to live here with me? Will Xavier agree?"Looking at Xavier's clingy demeanor, it was clear he didn't want Quinn to live here alone."Why do I need his approval? I can live wherever I like without anyone's permission," Quinn replied.Even if that someone was Xavier, it made no difference. That was just how she had always been."Alright, then! I'll tidy up for a bit. You should go check on him."Regardless of the situation, Xavier was a guest here. It wouldn't be right to leave him alone in the living room."Okay. Go take a shower. The bathroom has all your favorite products."Nadia hugged Quinn tightly. "I really don't need a boyfriend. I just need you. No boyfriend treats me as well as you do.""Is that so? You d
Xavier leaned down and planted a gentle kiss on Quinn's forehead. "Get a good rest tonight. No matter how big the problems are, deal with them tomorrow, okay?"Quinn was already showing signs of fatigue with dark circles under her eyes."Okay," she replied.After Xavier left, Nadia emerged from the bathroom. Those two had been lovey-dovey for quite some time.Nadia wore a sexy nightgown. One of her favorite hobbies was wearing enticing lingerie."So? Do you like this? Do you need me to get you a few sets to wear for Xavier?" she asked Quinn."No, thanks." Quinn wasn't really fond of sexy lingerie. She preferred comfortable clothing.Nadia grabbed a can of Coke from the fridge. It was her favorite drink. Though many said drinking Coke wasn't healthy, she couldn't give it up.She popped the tab, took a sip of the cold soda, and felt a refreshing wave of satisfaction wash over her. She loved this feeling.Meanwhile, Quinn casually turned on the TV. It was broadcasting news about
