“It was a really tasty supplement.”
He placed the food box on the bedside table, and when he lifted the lid, steam rose.
“The family doctor said this is very nourishing, try and see what it tastes like.”
After speaking, he naturally reached out to smooth Andrea’s messy hair, but stopped in mid–air and instead gently tucked the corner of the blanket.
Scarlett looked at him with concern in his eyes, hesitated for a
moment, and then stood up.
“Quinn, Auntie has something to tell you.”
Under the cold fluorescent light in the hallway, Quinn stood straight.
point.
Scarlett got straight to the point.
“Quinn, let’s call off the engagement between our families.”
“Auntie!”
Quinn’s pupils dilated suddenly, “It was me who didn’t protect Andie well, and let her suffer in the Shillingford family.”
His voice was trembling, and he was unusually out of control.
“But please give me another chance! I swear, I will never make her sad again in the future.”

“Quinn.”
Scarlett raised her hand to interrupt him.
“You were a good kid, Andie really liked you too.”
She paused, looking worried.
“But you, the Shillingford family, have been a prestigious family for a hundred years, with strict rules and hidden currents. My daughter, who I raised in the palm of my hand, has been shaped like this in just a short time…”
Quinn didn’t say anything, his clenched–fists were trembling slightly.
“She has always been strong. When she accidentally fell from the second floor as a child, she didn’t cry.”
Scarlett wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, speaking firmly.

She took a deep breath, “It’s not a good match from the start, shouldn’t force it, hope you can understand a mother’s heart.”
Quinn’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
“Auntie, can I talk to Andie again? Just for ten minutes!”

“What’s up?”
“Matilda gave the video to Gracelyn.”
Quinn paused with his pen, frowning.
Roderick’s mocking voice came through the receiver.
“Gracelyn was so bold, all because of you, right? It’s funny, Mr.
Shillingford can’t even control the people around him, and he has the nerve to criticize me?”
Quinn’s lips were tight, rare without a comeback.
“Quinn, this collaboration was just for Andie. Once it’s over, I’ll personally kick you out of her life.”
