Chapter 1439 Abigail was always against Quinn and Alexander being a thing. If they got all lovey-dovey in front of her, she'd probably roll her eyes so hard they'd get stuck.
Quinn always thought there was something going on between Abigail and Landon, but Abigail would never admit it. Quinn had a hunch it might be because of her.
Abigail could keep her distance from Landon for Quinn's sake, but Quinn couldn't do the swith Alexander for Abigail. In that sense, Quinn knew she couldn't measure up to Abigail.
Abigail dropped them off at the gate of Iris Estates and said, "Alright, you two, out. I need to find something to eat. I'm starving thanks to you!" "Sorry, go ahead," Quinn said.
"Wantto bring you anything?" Abigail asked.
"Sure, thanks," Quinn replied.
As soon as Quinn and Alexander got out of the car, Abigail sped off.
Quinn turned to Alexander. "Have you eaten?" "Nope, let's get inside. It's freezing out here," Alexander suggested.
"Okay," Quinn agreed.
Sprout had been awake at Calvin's place and hadn't slept, probably because he was passed around too much. He was quietly babbling to himself. They went to Alexander's house. Molly had gone hand wouldn't be back for a few days.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe house was empty, with nothing to eat except for Sprout's formula.
"Did you watch the video I sent you?" Quinn suddenly asked.
"What video?" Alexander asked.
Quinn took out her phone but then thought better of it. It was just as well Alexander hadn't seen it; those words seemed too sentimental in retrospect. Quinn said, "Sprout can say 'Dada' now." "Really?" Alexander glanced at Sprout on the couch. He was sitting there, his big round eyes fixed on them. It was a familiar look.
Quinn realized it and quickly picked up Sprout. "Do you have any diapers here?" "Yeah, I'll grab one," Alexander replied.
He went upstairs and cback down with a pack of diapers. He handed one to Quinn.
Quinn skillfully changed Sprout's diaper, rolling up the used one and tossing it in the trash.
"I don't know who he got it from, but every the poops, he just stares silently," Quinn said, suddenly looking back at Alexander. "Feels like he got it from you?" Alexander chuckled. "You never sawas a kid. How would you know that?" Quinn thought about it and agreed. She had never seen such a peculiar trait before.
Alexander looked at Sprout for a while and suddenly asked, "Was it that tin Municity?" Quinn was taken aback. "What?" Seeing Alexander staring at Sprout, she suddenly blushed. "What else?" That was the only tthey had together.
"I was just asking. What about that girl? How is she?" Alexander still remembered the girl. Quinn pulled out a photo of Brandy to show him. "Look, she's like this now." Alexander took the phone, momentarily dazed by the well-behaved little girl on the screen.
"She's grown so much," he murmured.
"Yeah, tflies without us realizing it," Quinn sighed.
In the blink of an eye, many years had gone by.
Yet, they had never truly spent ttogether.
"I just video-called Brandy a few days ago. I promised her I'd bring her dad to see her. You adopted her back then, and she's been waiting for you to csee her every day. You can't just leave her hanging, can you?" Quinn spoke. Alexander reached out to touch her hair. "No, once things are settled here, we'll go see her." Quinn suddenly remembered something and grabbed his arm, looking at him anxiously. "Are you okay?" Alexander was a bit taken aback. "Why do you ask?" Quinn revealed, "Landon cto seethat day." "How dare he cto you?" Alexander's eyes grew colder.
As Quinn recounted what had happened, she couldn't shake the feeling that Landon had played her.
Alexander nodded. "Yeah, you were definitely tricked by him." Quinn sighed, "No wonder he agreed to my conditions so easily." "He knows your connection with Obsidian Circle. He wouldn't mess with you lightly. Three small conditions for a company-what a deal for him," Alexander analyzed.
"But we signed the contract. I'm sorry, I lost the company you gave me," Quinn said, feeling regretful.
Alexander wasn't angry. He said calmly, "It's okay. Most of the funds are in your account. It's just a company. If Landon wants it, let him have it." "Do you really think that way?" Quinn asked.
"If it were a few years ago, I might have tried to get it back. But now," Alexander shook his head, "there's no point. Just changing diapers for our son is exhausting enough." Quinn smirked, "How many times have you changed him?" "From now on, I'll do it," Alexander promised.
"You said it. I'm not doing it anymore," Quinn replied.
Alexander pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. "You've had a tough year. From now on, I'll take care of the baby, and you take care of us." Quinn heard his heartbeat again, confirming he was alive and well in front of her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe emptiness in her heart was finally filled by his presence. She hadn't felt such a sense of security in a long time.
Listening to his heartbeat, Quinn hugged him back. "Are you really okay?" "Don't listen to Landon's nonsense. You know what kind of person he is," Alexander said.
"Then why were you so cold tobefore?" Quinn asked.
"I was afraid Aron would harm you," Alexander replied.
"Really?" Quinn pressed.
"Of course," Alexander said.
They cuddled together, while Sprout sat on the couch, looking at them in confusion.
He babbled, clumsily crawled over, and tugged at their clothes. He couldn't squeeze in but didn't give up. He kept dalling "Dada" as he tried to wedge himself in. After several calls, Quinn suddenly pushed Alexander away. "Did you hear that?" Alexander clutched his chest, coughed twice, and looked at Sprout with a complicated expression. "Yeah." Quinn picked up Sprout and placed him on Alexander. "He only calls for Dada. I've never heard him call for Mama." "Maybe 'Dada' is easier to say?" Quinn pondered for a while. "Aren't they similar?"
Alexander was silent for a moment, unable to find a reasonable om explanation, Hetehtatively asked, "Could it be that you often talk to him about Dada?" Quinn stiffened, her expression a bit unnatural, and she denied it, "Of course not!"
Alexander saw through her expression and couldn't help but laugh. "Then maybe Sprout senses ก that his Mama misses Dada every day, so he learned to say 'Dada."" This time, Quinn didn't refute him.
Because of her stubbornness back then, things had turned out this way.
So, she swallowed her words.
Alexander said, "It's okay. I'll teach him to say 'Mama' every day from now on. It won't be long before he learns."
