The black suit hugged his tall figure, the mechanical watch on his wrist gleaming coldly, and that familiar face made her breath catch.
It’s Quinn.
Mom was right, it was indeed the young master of the Shillingford family.
Unexpected, yet somehow expected.
Actually, everything can be traced back. For example, he once said, her ring size is the same as his fiancee’s.
The gentle care and subtle hints were all calculated moves to get closer.
The small talk among the elders at the table gradually faded away, Andrea’s face remained calm, but deep down she was a little annoyed.
Quinn just acted like nothing happened, gracefully cutting her steak and handing her a warm lemon water.
She finally escaped from that burning gaze only when she made an excuse to go to the bathroom.
The mirror in front of the sink reflected her flushed cheeks, and suddenly there came the steady sound of footsteps behind her.
“Andrea.”
Andrea looked up and saw the man standing behind her in the mirror.
“Why are you avoiding me?”

“There’s nothing to say to scammers.
She grabbed a tissue from the side, sounding unfriendly.
“From the beginning, you knew I was your fiancee, but you deliberately kept it from me, treating me like a fool.”
Seeing her pouting, Quinn couldn’t help but lower his gaze and chuckle.
“Sorry, I just didn’t want you to marry a stranger you’ve never met, so I hid my identity and spent time with you.”
Andrea wasn’t happy at first because his smile was forced, but after hearing what he said, his expression became hesitant again.
Quinn suddenly took a step back, his voice low and solemn.
“Andrea, if you regret it and don’t want to go through with the engagement, I can tell my family right now.
“I respect any decision you make.”
In the silence, Andrea heard her own heart beating loudly.
She remembered his cold, hard profile in the refrigerated transport vehicle; she remembered his solemn promise to ensure she returned home safely.
Back in the restaurant private room, she even dreamed that if she could marry such a gentle and reliable man, maybe she could find happiness even though they had never met.
Andrea looked up, the man’s expression was particularly sincere.
There’s no denying that Quinn was the best candidate for marriage among the people she interacted with.

She needed a husband strong enough to make Roderick wary, otherwise when he realized she had escaped, who knows how crazy he would get.
Obviously, Quinn met her needs.
Besides, the relationship between the two families was good, if she changes her mind now, it will definitely affect the relationship between the elders.
Lucian was so good to her, she couldn’t forget his kindness.
“I didn’t break off the engagement.”
She looked up and their eyes met.
“But from now on, we get to know each other again.”
She looked at his suddenly narrowed pupils and reached out her right hand.
“Mr. Shillingford, nice to meet you.”
Quinn hesitated for a moment, then slowly covered her outstretched hand with his own.
The moment they touched, Andrea felt the warmth of his palm.
He held on tightly, unlike his usual gentleman style, as if afraid she would pull her hand away.
“Nice to meet you, Ms. Rehbein.”
Quinn’s voice sounded a bit hoarse, as if holding back some kind of overwhelming emotion.
When the two of them returned to the private room, all the elders‘ eyes

turned towards them.
Scarlett’s eyes twinkled with a knowing smile, and Lucian nodded in satisfaction.
