Jenna pulled Quinn along as she checked out the entire jet, then pulled out her phone to type.[Number what am I to get on this private jet?]Quinn glanced sideways at her phone screen. “This plane was just bought not long ago. I was originally planning to give it to Grandmother for her birthday. It would have been convenient for Grandmother to go anywhere she liked once the overseas flight routes were arranged, but since you seem to like it, I’ll give Grandmother something else instead.”So, she was the first to take this private plane…An inexplicable sense of satisfaction and joy welled up in Jenna’s heart and she tiptoed to kiss Quinn on the cheek before pulling him toward the theater.By the time she finished watching a movie with Quinn, the plane had landed in Hevedburgh.Once they reached Sandalwood Palace and Aunt Lily opened the door, Jenna ran over to hug her, nuzzling her head against Aunt Lily’s shoulder.Aunt Lily saw that Jenna was not speaking and asked curiously,
In Seabright Group CEO’s office.Shawn kept staring at his phone and was surprised for a moment when he saw Jenna’s text. [Didn’t you take it with you when you went back to the Radcliff house to take your things?]Jenna: [You instructed your men to smash up the house. By the time I got back, there was nothing left. What was there for me to take?]Shawn had despised the Radcliffs, but his only instruction at the time was for the workmen to remove any traces of Jenna from the Radcliff home once she had packed up her things and left.He had not instructed them to smash up the house…Recalling that he saw Yvonne wearing one of Jenna’s favorite necklaces the day after the Radcliff home had been cleared, Shawn deduced that Yvonne had probably said something to the workmen and taken Jenna’s jewelry and bags for herself.Jenna sent him another text: [If you’ve sold it, tell me who bought it and I’ll get it back from them myself.]Shawn: [Hold on. Let me ask.]After replying to Jenna’s
After Jenna replied to the message, she threw her phone onto the rug with a cold expression. Getting off the bed, she walked toward her walk-in wardrobe.On the right-hand side of the wardrobe was a large jewelry cabinet.It was empty at first, but now it was filled with both jewelry Quinn had given her and those she had bought a few days ago in Summerest.Jenna pulled open the third drawer containing the jewelry from the Radcliff home Aunt Lily had secretly helped her pack away back then.She had given some to Aunt Lily.The remainder were gifts from Mrs. Radcliff or were too expensive, so Aunt Lily refused to take them.Jenna picked out a necklace and packed it properly into a jewelry box. Then, she changed her clothes and exited her bedroom.“Oh, are you going out, Miss?”Aunt Lily was busy cooking some soup in the kitchen when she saw Jenna had changed her clothes, looking as if she was about to go out.Jenna nodded, showing her her phone. [Aunt Lily, I’m going out to buy
Shawn sat at a table by the window. He tapped his slender fingers lightly on the table as his gaze was fixed on the doorway.When he saw the waiter lead Jenna in, his eyes brightened slightly.He got up to pull out the chair across from him when the two got closer.Jenna ignored him. It was only after seeing a familiar violin case in the opposite chair did she sit down in the chair next to it.Shawn did not get upset. Pushing the chair back in, he returned to his seat and handed the menu to Jenna.“Take a look and see what you want.”Jenna glanced at him calmly and typed on her phone: [This meal is on me. You can order whatever you want. I’m not eating.]Shawn was shocked for a moment when he saw she was typing in her notes app to show him. “What’s wrong with your voice?”Jenna did not answer. Placing her phone on the table, she got up to take the violin case.Shawn’s eyes darkened and he quickly pressed a hand on the violin case.His voice was gentle as he said, “Jen, didn’t
Jenna froze.Sam was not with her, so how did Quinn know she was with Shawn Sadler?Remembering what had happened in Summerest, Jenna thought that since Kevin had gone overseas, Quinn was probably afraid something would happen to her again and sent someone to watch over her in secret.She quickly brushed aside the strange feeling in her heart and texted him back.[Yeah, we’re at Point Restaurant. I met him to get something back from him.]Quinn: [I’ll be there in a bit.]Jenna was about to type that she would be going back in a bit, but seeing that Quinn was coming over, she replied affirmingly. When she looked up to see Shawn eating his food slowly, she wished she could shove it all into his mouth.She suppressed her impatience and waited quietly.Once Shawn finally finished the steak, Jenna immediately got up to take the violin case. She opened it to see a reddish-brown violin in it. It had not been used in a long time, but was not dusty at all as if it was brand new.After
Jenna drove to an instrument store, picked out a set of strings and tools, then drove Quinn back to Sandalwood Palace.However, when Jenna entered the place, she did not see Aunt Lily anywhere.“When I came back earlier and saw you weren’t around, I told Aunt Lily to go back to Sparrow Garden for the night and come back tomorrow morning,” Quinn saw Jenna look around and said.Jenna was speechless. [When we were staying at Sparrow Garden we had so many helpers around. I never heard you complain it was inconvenient then!]“The helpers at Sparrow Garden never went to the second floor.” Quinn replied calmly, “This apartment only has one level. I don’t like it when helpers come and go through my personal space.”That was what he said, but Jenna recalled that rainy afternoon and what they had done in the living area…The tips of her ears turned slightly red.Jenna immediately turned and headed toward the kitchen before Quinn could see her flushed cheeks.Maybe because when she left,
He lifted the thick hair, revealing Jenna’s slender neck. Looking at the fair skin, lust flickered across Quinn’s cold eyes. He lowered his head and planted a warm kiss on her neck.Flustered, Jenna could not focus on changing the violin strings. She struggled to unlock her phone.[Can you let me finish changing the strings? I just cooked a meal. I smell oily now…]“I don’t mind.” Quinn’s voice was slightly hoarse. He leaned close to Jenna’s lips and kissed her deeply.With slight force, Quinn lifted her and placed her on his lap. His hand reached under Jenna’s dress and touched her back.Soon, the dress fell to her waist.Jenna had turned up the brightness in the living room as she wanted to change the violin strings. The light shone on her, making her skin look whiter than the lights. On the left bottom of her stomach was a dragon tattoo. The dragon's body was black. It jumped into the air with claws outstretched, its direction falling directly underneath her heart. It wa
After bringing Jenna to the otolaryngology department and finding the department head, they performed a CT scan of her throat, conducted a detailed examination, and asked her to try speaking.Jenna still could not make any sound.“Weird. Your vocal cords and mucous membranes don't show any signs of swelling or congestion, so why can't you speak?" The doctor was also puzzled as it was his first time encountering this situation. “I’ll prescribe two boxes of oral liquid for you to drink. After you finish it, come back to see me again."Jenna nodded.After leaving the otolaryngology department, Jacob accompanied Jenna to get her medicine.Then, he spoke. “Jenna, we might need your blood again.”Jenna was stunned. She then showed him her phone. [Isn’t there a rule that states a person can only donate blood once every six months? I donated three hundred milliliters last time. Wasn’t that enough?]“Yes, but if you are healthy, you can still donate after some time.” Jacob rubbed his n
