She panicked slightly, he appeared unsatisfied. She knew he wanted to hear more about her day but before that could wait. She still had to thank him.

She licked her lips and raised her head up to stare at him. She gulped and momentarily got lost staring at his metallic blue eyes.

“ Thanks a lot for the room you changed for Alex. I really appreciate it” She scratched her neck unsure of what to say next.

Quinn pulled up the corners of his lips into a grin and drew closer to her.

“ It's nothing. She is my sister in-law after all. It's normal for me to take care of her ” Quinn said slowly his lips caressing her ears.

Alyssa curled her toes unable to understand what she was feeling. She bit her lips to calm her erratic heartbeat. The thought of Quinn taking care of her sister warmed her heart but on the other hand, she was a little bit depressed at the how hostile Wendy was to her. She was her sister in-law but she wa

    Alyssa noticed something was wrong. Quinn wasn't heading in the usual direction of their house. She kept quiet and continued to observe what he was up to. Quinn noticed all of her gawking and smiled internally. He pulled his car up in front of a glass building. Alyssa's eyes widened at the breathtaking view in front of her. She could see everything going on within the restaurant from afar. It looked so romantic. Quinn quietly led her into the building wrapping his warm large palm against her slender one. She noticed several people acknowledged him as he walked in with her till they got into the elevator. With the Winters' blood flowing through his veins, it was expected of the people to do so either out of fright or respect. They got in front of a glass door and Quinn just placed his thumb on it.

They only smile and talk politely to her when Quinn Winters was around. “ Good morning Madam.” A maid greeted her from the side. She smiled politely and responded to her greeting. She got to the dining room but found out that the breakfast was not yet set which was quite strange. She pinched her legs and quickly reminded herself not to get used to her luxury life since it will only be short lived.“ Madam? What are you doing here?” Alyssa grimaced when she heard Linda's sarcastic voice from behind. “ Mr. Winters is not around today so we didn't prepare breakfast. It already good that he is nice to you by providing you shelter. You can't have everything on a platter of gold.” Linda eyed Alyssa's petite back and snic

    Quinn felt bad that she was leaving the next day. He didn't want her to go but there was nothing he could do. Her future and happiness came first. He wished she had not chosen to live in the school dormitory. It would have been very nice to drop her off at school every morning after placing a warm kiss on her forehead. All he ever wanted to do was to hold her tightly in his arms without letting go but he managed to control himself so that she wouldn't mistake his desire for something else. He busied himself with different thoughts as he picked various items for her. He knew she wouldn't pick anything if he gave her the liberty to do so. The thought of it made him mad. Whenever he went shopping with Tina, she was always the one pointing the items they needed. While on her toiletries, he contemplated on the shampoo she would prefer. Given how gently she was, a mild scented one would suit her best but he thought it was best to ask for her opinion.

Right day?” Finn laughed out loud nodding his head. “ Of course, little man. Your mother is jealous since I can't carry her” Wyatt finally spotted a figure at the kitchen door.

I really admired your relationship with Walker but now, I can only conclude she had been blind for a really, really long time.
