Chapter 55
Andrea turned down Georgia, didn’t take the elevator, and headed straight to the parking lot with Quinn through the restaurant’s kitchen back door.
“Did someone say you look like a spy?” Quinn followed behind her, with a smile in his eyes.
Andrea didn’t respond to his teasing.
She couldn’t drive, so she had to get a ride. She scrolled on the screen and placed an order. Looking up, she saw Quinn still there.
Just staring at her like that.
Andrea felt a bit awkward, so she casually brought up a topic.
“Is your injury better now? I’m really sorry about last time.”
Quinn heard this and casually rolled up his shirt sleeves, “It’s not a big deal.”
“Has your brother always been like this to you?”
Andrea pursed her lips, unsure how to respond.
Her private matters with Roderick are not easy to explain to outsiders.
And she had no way to resist.
“Mr. Shillingford, this is my private business,” Andrea said, her tone becoming serious, clearly a bit resistant to the topic.
Quinn noticed Andrea’s change in mood, and said, “I just feel like your

life should be decided by you, you are Andrea, not a canary in his cage.”
Quinn’s words made Andrea feel a bit suffocated.
She didn’t know how to answer.
I didn’t want to answer!
“You could choose the life you want.”

Quinn noticed Andrea trying to avoid, he reached out to grab her wrist as she was leaving, but she dodged his fingers as soon as they touched her.
“Mr. Shillingford, please watch your words and actions.”
Quinn–looked at the woman in front of him, her thin lips parted slightly, but then she swallowed her words.
“I was just afraid that you would miss the right choice and happiness because of outside interference.”
Andrea looked into his intense gaze, vaguely sensing the meaning behind his words.
“Mr. Shillingford, my designated driver is almost here, I gotta go.”
She didn’t wait for Quinn to speak, she quickly turned and hurried off to the other side, afraid he would follow again.

“Roderick… it hurts so much, am I going to die?”
Roderick didn’t look back, with one hand in his pocket, he said indifferently, “You hit your head, not your heart, you’re covering the wrong spot.”
Matilda pouted slightly and sighed, “Fine, I just wanted you to keep me company.”
“I know you favor your sister, but I ended up with a concussion. Can’t you show a little concern for me?”
Matilda finished speaking, looking at him with a direct gaze and seductive eyes.
Such straightforward and endearing conversation, she didn’t believe Roderick was unaffected!
“I came to serve you, my name is Raina.”
Roderick dropped this line and was about to leave.
Matilda froze, watching him really leave. She didn’t care about the IV drip in her hand, she threw back the covers and got out of bed to chase after him.
“Roderick…”
The IV drip was pulled out of her hand, her eyes turned red, looking really upset.
“Roderick, I…”
She just hugged Roderick’s waist, and then everything went dizzy in front of her.
Concussion can’t have too much movement.

The person behind him slid down his back, Roderick turned around and picked him up with one hand, throwing him onto the bed.
“Matilda, what were you trying to do?”
