Quinn looked down at her, gently rubbing her wrist with his thumb.
“You don’t have to be so polite all the time.”
He paused, sounding casual.
“Big brother is so careless, how did he make such a big fuss when meeting Matilda?”
He sighed helplessly.
“These paparazzi always blow things out of proportion, once they catch on, it’s never–ending drama. Who knows how much trouble they’ll stir up. “?
Andrea kept silent, but deep down she was filled with bitter thoughts.
If that happened, they would definitely get married.
This is great, I’m also getting married to Quinn…but why do I feel so uneasy in my heart?
Andrea, what’s bothering you so much? It’s impossible between you two, he’s your brother, he should have his own place to belong…
She dug her nails deep into the palm, trying to use the pain to dispel the inexplicable loss in her chest.
“Andie, there was such a big thing happening at home, should we go and check it out?”
“I’m not going.”

She forced a smile, but her voice was hoarse and trembling.
“Lucian and my mom will definitely handle it, this kind of thing… it’s actually awkward for me to go as a sister.”
The moment the words fell, she suddenly felt incredibly ironic.
Yeah, little sister, she needed to remember this deeply.
Quinn’s eyes flashed a hint of satisfaction, but he still gently advised.
“Okay, you were exhausted today.”
He put his arm around her shoulder and walked out.
Outside Obsidian Diner, Quinn opened the passenger door for her.
With the engine humming, Andrea kept staring out the window, feeling a bit distracted.
She rubbed her forehead and felt like there was something else important, but she just couldn’t remember.
She didn’t unbuckle her seatbelt until the black sedan stopped in front
of the villa, as if she had just woken up from a dream.
Quinn suddenly grabbed her wrist, rubbing the icy skin with his fingertips.
“Why do I feel uneasy after having a meal?”
“Maybe it was something to do with the gallery…”
Andrea burst out laughing.
Quinn looked at her in silence, the deep whirlpool almost swallowing
her up.

She didn’t explain, he didn’t ask further, and they just stayed silent like that.
The atmosphere inside the car was very quiet. Just as Andrea was about to get off the car without thinking, he spoke up.
“Andie, sometimes I really envy him.”
She paused for a moment, immediately understanding who “he” referred to in his words.
Quinn’s voice was low, his thumb rubbing the faint blue vein on her wrist.
“I know your relationship of over ten years, it’s not something that I, as a fiance who appeared out of the blue, can shake.”
He lowered his eyes and spoke in a low tone.
“But I always hoped that you would care more about me… even if you just gave me a glance.”
Andrea froze, the sunlight shining through the car window onto Quinn’s face, exposing the paranoia and longing swirling in his eyes.
She had never seen him like this.
The eldest grandson of the always elegant and composed Shillingford family was clinging to her like a drowning person right now.
“I could do anything for you, as long as you’re willing to look at me more.”
“You…”
Andrea opened her mouth, but was shocked by his sudden action pulling her closer that she couldn’t say a word.

Quinn’s hot breath brushed over her trembling eyelashes.
A chill ran up Andrea’s spine, and she suddenly remembered the details of their time together.
