Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind.
She turned around, and it was Gracelyn again.
The hurt on his face was gone, replaced by a cold smile.
“Andrea, do you think you won? Do you think getting engaged to him
is the end of it all?”
Andrea looked indifferent.
“What do you want to say?”
Gracelyn approached, saying word by word.
“Andrea, I told you, Quinn was mine, if you know what’s good for you…”
“What are we talking about?”
Quinn appeared at the end of the corridor out of nowhere.
The black bathrobe was loosely tied, with water droplets still dripping from the hair ends.
He walked slowly towards her, his gaze sweeping over Andrea’s slightly annoyed expression, and his eyes instantly turned cold.
“Ms. Copeland stopped my fiancee in the middle of the night, what was she saying?”
Gracelyn wasn’t sure if he heard anything, so he nervously backed
away.

“Quinn, I…”
“Stay away from her in the future.”
Quinn didn’t bother to listen to her excuses. He just wrapped his long arms around Andrea, held her close, and walked away.
Gracelyn watched as the two of them walked away, her nails digging into her palm, feeling a mix of resentment and bitterness in her heart.
In the master bedroom, the warm yellow wall lamp cast a soft glow.
Quinn held Andrea’s cold hand with both hands, his deep eyes filled with guilt.
“Andie, you were wronged today.”
Andrea was taken aback, shaking her head unconsciously.
“There’s no such thing, just some small episodes.”
“Don’t hide it from me.”
Quinn rubbed her hand back and forth, his voice low and hoarse..
“I knew all the rules here, the complicated relationships, and those unfriendly looks… You definitely weren’t comfortable or happy here.”
His Adam’s apple bobbed.
“I didn’t think it through. I should have realized it would put you in this situation. If you don’t like it, we won’t come again in the future.”
Andrea forced out a smile.
“It’s really okay, you’ve been so good to me, I don’t want to put you in a difficult position.”

“The Shillingford family was your home, with rules passed down for years. How could I be so reckless over something like this? I’m not that delicate.”
She lowered her eyelashes.
She also knew she didn’t have the ability to make him go against his whole family for her.
On the other side, Kaylen was half–leaning on the sandalwood couch, rubbing the prayer beads with her fingers, and suddenly spoke.
“Sophie, what do you think of that Andrea?”
Sophie pondered for a moment.
“He had a calm and dignified personality, with a good understanding of the overall situation. He should be able to assist Mr. Quinn well in the future.”
“The key is, Mr. Quinn liked her too, which is quite rare.
“Quinn was more than just liking her? He was totally obsessed.”
Kaylen let out a heavy sigh.
“The child who used to be calm is now breaking all the rules for a woman, talking about her during dinner, protecting her in the ancestral hall, completely out of line.”
She squinted her cloudy eyes.
“The Hodgson family’s stepdaughter, not well–known, was just running a few mines, far behind the wealthy Mosley family’s daughter that I used to admire.”
Sophie lowered her gaze and carefully chose her words.

“Madam Shillingford, Mr. Quinn has seen dozens of girls over the years, but rarely have I seen him so smitten with Andrea.”
Kaylen snorted in disdain.
“Quinn was busy in the business world all day, he needed a wife who could hold her own, Andrea didn’t even understand the rules of the ancestral hall, as awkward as a stone.”
