Chapter 68

Author: Miss Jean-Jean
Quinn didn't open her mouth; she refused to eat more. "I'm full," she said, despite having eaten very little.

"Is it not to your taste? We can go to another place," Xavier suggested, genuinely concerned about her stomach.

"I'm full, there's no need to switch." Quinn took out her phone to check her flight, but Xavier grabbed it from her.

"It's too late, and your stomach isn't well. We're not going back tonight. We'll go back together tomorrow."

It was just one night. Four Seasons Incorporated would do fine without her.

Quinn didn't refuse, knowing her stomach wasn't in the best condition for a long flight.

Noah finished his phone call and came back in, apologizing, "Quinn, I'm sorry! I have to leave now. You should stay at the hotel tonight. I'll take you back tomorrow."

Since he was the one who had brought Quinn here, he felt obligated to ensure her safe return.

Quinn shook her head. "There's no need for that. You go handle your matters. I can go back on my own."

"No way. I'll

    "Since you're on my territory, there's no reason for you to stay at a hotel. Besides, you didn't bring anything with you and don't even have your ID. How will you check in?"Those were just excuses—Quinn could still check in even without an ID."Don't worry, I won't touch you."Worry? The way Xavier looked at her was as if he wanted to devour her. She couldn't relax at all."I'm telling the truth. I promise."Quinn ignored him. Xavier got out of the car, opened the umbrella, and walked to her side to help her open the car door."Come on. Let's go shower and get some good rest."Quinn got out of the car. The rain was heavier now. With only one umbrella, Xavier almost pulled Quinn into his arms. It was raining, and the temperature had dropped sharply. Quinn's body temperature was low, but Xavier's embrace was warm enough.He took her to the living room and was drenched halfway through, while Quinn's pants were only a bit wet.Eric quickly brought a towel. "Mr. Patterson, you s

    "Your hair is still wet. You'll get a headache if you sleep like this." Xavier pulled Quinn to the bed. He then went to the bathroom and grabbed a dry towel. He came back and patiently dried Quinn's hair, standing in front of her while she sat on the bed. All she had to do was open her eyes to see his perfect physique.After drying her hair to half-dry, Xavier tossed the towel onto the couch. "Do you want to sleep now? If you do, I can blow-dry your hair with a hairdryer," he asked."I'm not sleeping now.""Can't sleep? Or is it because you took a short nap in the car earlier?""I don't want to sleep just yet. You do your thing. Don't worry about me." She wouldn't feel bored by herself.Xavier reached out his hand to her. "Come on, let's go somewhere.""Now?" It was still raining heavily outside."Yes, right now."Seeing that Quinn wasn't moving, Xavier grabbed her hand and pulled her up.The top floor of the villa had a beautiful glass greenhouse, filled with all kinds of

    Eric's face blushed when he stumbled upon the scene. Xavier had never gotten involved with women before. It was Eric's first time seeing the Xavier lose control of himself.Eric couldn't help but admit he was old when he witnessed Xavier and Quinn kissing with such intensity. He believed that Xavier's mom would be relieved to hear that her son was dating.He quietly left to offer them some privacy.Meanwhile, Xavier had the urge to get it on with Quinn, but he held back. He didn't want her to misunderstand that he was only with her to get into her pants. If all he wanted was sex, he could have flirted with any other woman.He wanted Quinn to willingly submit to him.Releasing her, he carried her onto the bed and tucked her in. He whispered in her ear, "Good night."Then, he left the main bedroom. That night, Quinn had the entire room to herself.…Xavier could be ruthless toward others, and he was the same with himself. Despite wanting Quinn so badly, he managed to control his

    Quinn looked vulnerable in that moment, but only Xavier would know that she was a crazy woman. Her duality enthralled him, and he wanted to claim her for himself so he could explore all the secrets she carried.When the water became lukewarm, he moved the glass closer to her lips. "Be careful. It's a bit hot.""I can drink it myself." Over the years, she had gradually grown to be independent in all matters. She was no longer the pampered little princess she used to be.Since the water was still hot, she blew on it and took a small sip. She had wanted to add a bit of iced water to the glass, but she dismissed the idea, knowing Xavier would probably nag at her."Are you hungry? Eric made some supper. You can have some of it if you're hungry.""I don't have the habit of taking supper." In the past five years, she had been busy working on herself and getting the best medical treatment for Lisa. She had also been making plans to take her revenge. She'd had no time for supper."Me too.

    Quinn set the milk aside after taking a few more sips. The breakfast was great—on par with Xavier's high standards.After breakfast, she planned to leave, but Xavier handed her a shopping bag. He said, "Change into these clothes. I'm taking you somewhere later.""Where are we going? Xavier, I really need to leave. I don't have much time." She had a lot of work waiting for her in Jipsfort."We'll fly to Jipsfort together after that. Don't worry; I'll get you home by today.""Xavier, I'm not discussing this with you. I need to go home," she insisted. She did not feel obliged to listen to him, as they weren't a thing yet.He grabbed her hand. "Quinn, just listen to me once, okay?" He looked into her eyes with sincerity. "Don't be afraid. I'm not going to hurt you."She found it hard to turn him down. Taking the shopping bag, she went upstairs to change into the new outfit. "This better be something important."Xavier had asked Eric to prepare the latest dress. Quinn took the strapp

    "You little rascal! You haven't visited me in a long time. Have you forgotten about me?" Nancy was in the middle of reading a medical book when Xavier and Quinn showed up.She placed the book on the table when she saw the visitors. She glanced at the young lady standing next to Xavier. "And this is…"This was the first time she had heard of Xavier with a woman. Whoever Quinn was, she had to be special to Xavier for him to bring her to this villa."Madam Quigley, she's my crush. I would like you to perform a checkup on her because she's been having stomach issues." Xavier was honest. He couldn't introduce Quinn as his girlfriend because she hadn't agreed to it.Smiling, Nancy encouraged him, "Oh, it's rare to see you have a crush. All the best."Then, she invited them to take a seat. Xavier introduced her to Quinn. "Quinn, this is Nancy Quigley."Quinn looked less defensive in Nancy's amicable presence. "Hi, Madam Quigley. I'm Quinn Jowell.""Give me your arm. I'll give you a che

    It was impossible for a man who didn't believe in love to fall for her. That was what Quinn thought.Frowning, Xavier stated, "Quinn, all I want is to make sure you recover from your stomach issues. Everything else can be discussed later."Xavier owned a private jet and could freely apply for flight permission. He led her into the jet and offered, "Just let me know if you need to travel anywhere. I'll get someone to fly you around, or I could even pilot the jet myself."He could fly the jet as he had a pilot's license. However, he didn't pilot the jet that day because he wished to sit with her."Hi, Mr. Patterson!" The air stewardess, Lauren Holmes, beamed brightly at him.He gave Lauren a quick nod before entering the jet with Quinn. Lauren looked obviously disappointed, as she was interested in Xavier. She had been offered better career opportunities after she had graduated from college, but she had given them up to be an air stewardess on Xavier's private jet.The private je

    Xavier probably added some hot water to the freshly squeezed juice because it was warm to the touch.Lauren hurried away when she saw him returning to the seat. She tried to conceal her feelings for him for fear she might lose her job. If that happened, she would lose the chance to steal a look at him from afar.Xavier handed Quinn the glass of fruit juice. She was surprised to learn the juice was warm after she took a sip.Xavier didn't have to be so thoughtful.He retorted, "Did you just say I'm heartless? What makes you say so?" Why did she accuse him of being heartless after he meticulously cared for her?Quinn took another sip of juice. Since he wanted to win her heart, she declared, "I'm heartless, too." He broke out laughing. It was true that he wanted to win her over.…After a two-hour flight, the plane finally touched down at Jipsfort at 1:00 pm. Quinn felt hungry after alighting because she hadn't eaten anything on the plane.She'd have stomachache if she didn't ta

    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
