“Andie, how could I do that? But…”
He paused, with a hint of guilt in his tone.
“There were indeed my reasons. My subordinates made deals with Matilda behind my back to make extra money. I have already punished them afterwards, but I cannot deny that it was also my fault.”
Andrea looked at him feeling guilty, her doubts slowly fading away, reaching out to gently hold his hand.
“It’s not your fault. Matilda is just too bad. Even without your help, she would have found those things from somewhere else.”
Quinn hugged Andrea, with a subtle smile playing on his lips.
“Thank you Andie, for believing in me.”
Quinn’s eyes were so intense, almost like they could see right through her.
Andrea felt flustered by his gaze, she turned her face away in a panic.
“It’s getting late, let’s rest quickly.”
She turned around, staring at the bed that could barely fit two people.
After hesitating for a moment, I lay down on my side, as close to the edge of the bed as possible, with my back to Quinn.
The room was so quiet that all we could hear was our breathing. She was tense, not daring to move a muscle.

I don’t know how long it had been, when suddenly there was a rustling sound behind me.
Andrea hadn’t even realized it yet, Quinn’s warm arm was already around her waist..
“Ah!”
She screamed in fright, flailing her arms and legs in panic, and then “thud,” she rolled off the bed and fell onto the carpet.
Quinn was also shocked by her sudden reaction and sat up.
“Andie?”
He hurriedly got out of bed to help her, but she dodged and crawled away, her voice trembling.
“I couldn’t sleep, so I went out for a walk.”
She suddenly yanked open the door, only to see Roderick standing at the doorway with a gloomy face.
In the darkness, those deep eyes were churning with indescribable turmoil.
Before she could even speak, Quinn had leisurely walked up behind. her.
He deliberately wore his pajamas loosely, showing off a large area of his collarbone, slightly leaning down and whispering in her ear.
“Just now was quite a hassle, you must be sweating. Do you want to take a shower first?”
The volume of this speech was just right, not too loud or too soft, so that all three people could hear it clearly.

Andrea was confused.
“Huh?”
Roderick suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him, while his other hand swung towards Quinn.
“Quinn! You’re asking for trouble!”
Andrea rushed to stand between them, with her hands pushing against Roderick’s chest.
“What are you up to again?!”
“Are you going to protect him?”
Roderick’s voice was hoarse, his eyes full of hurt and anger.
“Lucian has already gone back to sleep, I’m worried about waking them up.”
“Oh, really?”
Roderick sneered, forcefully broke her hand, and pushed his way into the room.
“So we’ll just settle this inside the house!”
The room suddenly got crowded.
In a cramped space, two men were at daggers drawn.
Andrea looked at the messy scene, got a headache, so she just lay back
on the bed, covered her head with a blanket.
“You guys do whatever you want, I’m going to bed!”
The room fell into a weird silence,

Andrea peeked through the blanket and saw Roderick and Quinn sitting on chairs, glaring at each other like knives.
It’s like warning the other not to step half a step beyond the thunder pool.
