Chapter 1422 Luke leaned back and said, "I know you're looking for Alexander. I wanted to help him out. Hopefully, he gets his memory back soon. That's all." Quinn gave a small smile. "Got it. Thanks, Mr. Lynch." "No need for formalities. Alexander's been crashing at the Lynch place lately. Wanna stay over for a few days?" Luke offered.
"Sure thing," Quinn agreed with a grin, and Luke mirrored her smile.
Luke had a plan. He needed Quinn to be around Alexander to test him. The more tthey spent together, the more likely Alexander would slip up.
If Alexander hadn't been dodging Quinn, Luke wouldn't have had to reach out to her like this.
For now, Luke figured Quinn and Alexander hadn't recognized each other. Whether Alexander had his memory back or not, only he knew.
Since Luke couldn't get to Alexander directly, he had to work through the people around him.
After they made their decision, Luke personally took Quinn back to pack her stuff, inviting her to stay at the Lynch mansion that night.
Quinn agreed. Her top priority was finding and removing the bug on Alexander.
So, with their own hidden motives, they headed to the Lynch mansion.
Standing in front of the mansion, Quinn felt a bit overwhelmed.
Luke teased, "Ms. Mellon, last tyou were here, you couldn't read a thing. Looks like you've picked up a bit now, huh?" Quinn snapped out of it and smiled. "Yeah, after hanging around here for a while, you learn a few things." Luke just smiled and gestured for her to go in.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQuinn followed Luke inside. On the way, Luke explained that the Lynch family had a lot of members, but except for big events, only the elders lived in the mansion. The younger ones stayed elsewhere. There were tons of rules and constant supervision, so no one really wanted to cback.
"Got it," Quinn said.
Luke led her to a guest room, which was super close to Alexander's room. Before they even got there, they bumped into Alexander coming out. "Look, here he comes," Luke said.
Quinn looked over and saw Alexander walking towards them. He noticed Quinn too but didn't stop, just kept walking.
Luke called out, "Lance, what a coincidence. We were just talking about you, and here you are." Alexander stopped, glanced at them, and then focused on Luke.
"Did you bring her?" Alexander asked.
Luke nodded with a smile. "Yep." Alexander gave a slight nod, said nothing more, and walked past them.
Quinn watched him until he was out of sight, then looked away.
Luke said, "Don't get discouraged. He'll remember." Quinn replied sadly, "I hope so." Luke continued walking, taking her to her room. It was a courtyard with several rooms.
He showed Quinn into one of the rooms. "You can stay here for now. My parents aren't back yet, but I'll let them know." Honestly, even if he didn't, Quinn might not run into them even if she stayed here for ten days or half a month. Quinn thanked him and took Sprout out of the stroller.
Luke stared at Sprout for a bit, then reached out to pinch his cheek. "So cute. He looks just like Lance." Quinn paused and forced a smile. "Really? I see him every day, so I can't tell." "Of course, ask anyone else, and they'll say the same," Luke remarked.
Sprout stared at him with big, curious eyes.
Luke pulled his hand back and smiled. "Ms. Mellon, get srest. I'm heading out." Quinn nodded. "Thanks, Mr. Lynch." Luke turned and left the room. Once he was gone, Quinn let out a long sigh.
Her real reason for being here wasn't to find Alexander. She knew Luke's game, but if she did nothing, he'd get suspicious.
Since she was here, she had a shot at getting closer to him.
Quinn put Sprout down, took out sformula and a bottle, and made him smilk.
Sprout could drink on his own now, so Quinn handed him the bottle.
She sat nearby, thinking about Luke and how to find the bug's receiver or switch.
Luke wouldn't keep it here; it had to be at his place or somewhere more hidden.
Otherwise, Alexander would have found it by now.
Luke only wanted her to get close to Alexander, not him, so she had to figure something out.
After bringing Quinn here, Luke never contacted her again.
With Christmas just days away, everyone in the mansion was busy. Zeke and the others didn't ask about Quinn, and she lived like a ghost.
Apart from meals being delivered, Quinn rarely saw anyone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFeeling restless, Quinn called Luke.
When the call connected, Quinn expressed her frustration. "Mr. Lynch, I've been here for a while and haven't seen him. It feels like staying here is pointless." Luke reassured her, "Don't worry. Everyone's busy now. You'll see him once things settle down." "What's he busy with?" Quinn asked.
"Probably Christmas preparations. If I you can't wait, you can go find m Alexander. He's in the courtyard behind you," Luke suggested. Quinn was taken aback. "Alright, I see." She thought for a moment and took Sprout out.
Even though Sprout slept during the day, she didn't dare leave him alone here.
She walked to the courtyard behind.
There were a lot of people, mostly servants, decorating the place.
It was clear they took Christmas seriously.
Quinn entered the courtyard, and the people there didn't recognize her, so they ignored her. Quinn asked one of them, "Is Lance in his room?" The servant shook his head. "Not sure." "Which room is his?" Quinn asked again.
The servant pointed, and Quinn nodded, heading that way with Sprout.
She knocked on the door.
No answer.
She knocked again, still no answer. He must not be in.
She sighed in disappointment, but when she turned around, she almost ve bumped into someone. Looking up, she saw it was Alexander, and his gaze was not friendly.
