“Oh, right. What do you want to eat for lunch, Quinn?” Jenna asked Quinn.“I’ve been tied up by you and I can’t even eat breakfast, so what do you mean lunch?” Quinn coaxed her, “Let me go, Sweetheart, and I’ll make lunch for you. Okay?”Jenna smiled faintly. “I’ll just eat at the office. You don’t have to worry about that. Since you don’t want to eat lunch, just forget it then. When I get back, I’ll grab dinner for you. And if you sleep, you won’t feel hungry anymore.”She leaned down to kiss his jaw.Quinn could smell the fragrance of Jenna’s body and felt like something was tickling his heart. He raised his head to kiss her, but Jenna stepped back nimbly.“I’m off to work, Quinn.” Jenna waved at him and left the bedroom.Quinn moved his right foot and the rope tightened, wrapping around his ankle tightly. He felt incredibly helpless as he looked at the chandelier above him.Jenna’s vengefulness was getting stronger and stronger.When Jenna got to the office, Carina was right
Quinn replied: [Walter Langham got some insider information that Whitham is going to be designated as a free trade zone, complete with plans for an airport and high-speed rail station. Artem will lead this initiative, transforming it into a thriving economic zone, so Walter Langham mortgaged everything he could and borrowed a lot of money from others. He spent three billion dollars to buy that piece of land.]Jenna carefully read Quinn’s latest message twice.She was very smart and quickly understood.Jenna: [The insider information he received was fake?]Quinn: [I’ve said all I should. My wife is so smart, I’m sure you know what to do next.]He said it so clearly that Jenna knew.This billion-dollar project had already emptied Langham Corporation’s coffers, so if any of their other projects had issues, they would fall heavily into debt.It would be a fall they would not be able to get up from and Walter would even have to go to jail.A perfect plan had already formed in Jenna’
It was sunny and a little hot out. Since it was the weekend, there were quite a number of people at the amusement park.As the automatic ticket machine was malfunctioning, the park arranged for two employees to check the tickets. They were slow, so soon, many visitors had gathered, waiting in line for their tickets to be checked.As they were waiting in line, Quinn noticed that Jenna’s jeans did not cover her legs entirely and exposed a small section of her fair calves and ankles.He dug out a bottle of sunscreen from the bag and squatted to apply sunscreen to her legs.There happened to be a young couple lined up behind them.The girl saw Quinn’s considerate actions and was very envious as she muttered to her boyfriend, “Look at that girl’s boyfriend. He’s applying sunscreen on his girlfriend’s legs. Now look at you!”The guy glanced at Quinn and scratched the back of his head unhappily. “I’m only twenty and this is my first time dating. It’s a given that I don’t know these thin
Quinn watched all this with great pleasure.He took the empty lemonade cup from Jenna and threw it in the nearby rubbish bin. Then, holding the umbrella with one hand, he took her other hand and walked into the amusement park.He said in a low voice, “Sweetheart, will you call me that again?”Jenna ignored him.After they got their tickets validated, Quinn grabbed a map from the rack nearby which also indicated the most popular attractions.Quinn had never been to an amusement park like this. Now that he was here, looking at the park full of children, he was even less interested.However, for Jenna’s sake, Quinn accompanied her to every attraction.When they rode the roller coaster, Jenna screamed excitedly. However, Quinn grabbed her hand tightly the whole way through and was frowning the entire time, even until they got off the roller coaster.Jenna opened a bottle of water and handed it to him. “Are you afraid of heights? Is that why you were so scared of the roller coaster?
After all, Jenna had spent enough at the stall to buy several sacks of dolls. “Thank you!” Jenna took the two dolls. The octopus doll was particularly quirky. One side of it was blue and seemed very grumpy. The other side, however, was pink and smiling. Then, they went rafting. A boy inserted several coins into a row of water spray guns positioned by the railing to enable them. Whenever a raft passed, he would run to the spray gun closest to the raft to fire at the passengers. Then, he would laugh merrily. Jenna was a quick thinker and immediately covered her hair and face with the raincoat when she got on the raft. However, the raincoat she wore was too thin. It did not take long before the water found its way through the layer. Even though Quinn held her in his arms to protect her, she could not be shielded from the water projectile. Eventually, her hair was drenched. Later, when she saw the same child getting into a raft with his sister, she decided to get r
After the fondue, Quinn took Jenna to the cinema on the fourth floor. Though it was a holiday, not many people were at the cinema because nothing interesting was showing today. Quinn spoke to the staff about his intention of reserving an entire hall for himself and putting on a specific movie of his choice. His offer was so ludicrously high that the staff agreed without even bothering to speak to the manager. Shortly after, the staff led them to a hall designed for a couple’s viewing. It was certainly a special hall. The decoration was beach-themed, and the seats were adjustable so one could lie down and enjoy the movie. There was also a round table attached to the side for popcorn and drinks. Jenna lay down and glanced at Quinn, “Is this the movie I was talking about?” Quinn nodded. “Yes, will you get spooked?” “What’s there to be afraid of? It’s just a movie.” Jenna said in a dismissive tone. However, she had to admit she was slightly nervous. This movie was r
There were countless questions forming in his mind. However, this woman had been dead for more than thirty years. Everything there was to know about her, even her name, had been completely wiped away by Old Master Forester. Furthermore, his father was dead. His foster mother, Leah, was probably the only person left who could know anything about this woman. While still looking at the woman in the picture, he received a text from Jenna. “Come inside my bathroom.” Quinn's eyes darkened. He immediately went to the master bedroom with his phone in hand. He slid open the glass door to the bathroom, only to find Jenna squatting on the floor with her hair still wet. As soon as he entered, Jenna turned up to face him. Water droplets still dripped from her face, and she had never seemed more vulnerable. Seeing her clothes were soaked wet, Quinn immediately asked, “Why are you squatting here? Why aren’t you going into the shower?” “The bathroom is too big and quiet.” Jen
“I think it’s still pretty bright outside at this hour, isn’t it?” Jenna hesitated. “I’ll take you outside to have a look.” Jenna suddenly stopped him just as he was about to leave. Her voice came out in a quiver, “Let’s just wait here, then. Give me your phone. I want to scroll your feed to calm my nerves.” “You don't need to do that. There is more than one way to calm your nerves.” Quinn chuckled. He had Jenna hold the phone while he grabbed her by her waist and settled her on top of the bathroom counter. He even took care to set a towel underneath so her skin would not touch the cold counter. Then, he took the phone from her and moved it to the side. He kissed her. ‘How perverted can he get? Always finding new excuses to kiss me…’ Jenna thought. However, she had to admit it was a good way to calm the nerves. The longer they kissed, the less afraid she was of the surrounding darkness. She basked in his gentle protection and soon, her legs instinctively wrapped
