Love Unspoken

Chapter 1546 Quinn felt a little flutter in her heart. She didn't mind the idea, but with two kids, going out was a hassle. She asked, "What about the kids?" Alexander said, "We'll bring them along." Quinn replied, "Brandy should be in school." Alexander looked at Brandy and said, "She's still so young. Let's wait a bit. Five years old is just right." Quinn argued, "But I read online that kids should start learning early. Isn't five too late?" Alexander shrugged, "It's not too late. If a kid's got talent, they'll pick it up even if they start late. If they don't, starting early won't make a difference." Quinn eyed him skeptically, thinking he was talking nonsense, but she couldn't argue back.

She didn't want to push the kids too hard either. Lately, she'd read a lot about kids getting overwhelmed, depressed, or worse.

She worried about that happening to her kids. The inevitable conflicts as they grew older made her even more anxious.

Quinn shook her head, trying to clear those thoughts. Worrying now was pointless.

She said, "Alright, let's wait a bit. Should we plan the route first?" Alexander replied, "No rush. We still need to sort out Calvin's situation. We'll talk about it then." Quinn didn't know what was up with Calvin and was scared to contact him. She'd tried twice before, but Calvin had been so irritable and cursed a lot on the phone, scaring her off. So she asked Alexander, "How's Calvin doing now?" Alexander said, "Not great. The Lynch family is keeping a close eye on him and won't let him leave Arcturus. He's got problems inside and out and can't leave easily." No wonder Calvin was so irritable. Every tthey talked, he cursed Walter.

It was clear all his troubles were because of Walter.

Calvin finally took off his mask.

Someone 'accidentally' knocked it off in public, showing his harmless-looking face to everyone.

The media went wild, and his photos were everywhere. Almost everyone knew what Calvin looked like now.

So, wearing the mask didn't matter anymore.

Despite the media's praise, it also exposed Calvin to his enemies. Now, he had no secrets left.

All of this was because of Walter, who convinced Zeke to allow the media coverage.

Walter said they could use this to overshadow the Future Era incident, sacrificing Calvin's reputation to save the Lynch family.

So, Zeke agreed. Even knowing Walter was targeting Calvin, he still agreed.

This plan worked well. People who didn't know the truth were amazed by the contrast between Calvin's personality and appearance. Meanwhile, Calvin's enemies were out to get him.

As long as Calvin stayed in Arcturus, he'd be safe. This setup controlled Calvin, reassured the Lynch family, and diverted attention.

It was a win-win-win situation.

Now, Calvin was completely at the mercy of others, unable to do anything but feel angry.

The only person Calvin could count on was Alexander.

Quinn had no clue about any of this. Alexander never mentioned it unless she asked.

Quinn sighed, thinking about Walter. She only felt hatred for him now.

Walter kept hurting the people around her without a second thought and never cared about her feelings. He kept chipping away at whatever bond they had left. Quinn asked, "So, can Landon handle Walter this time?" Alexander shook his head, "Walter's in Arcturus. Landon doesn't have the reach, and the police can't do much there. Do you know who runs Arcturus?" Quinn looked down, knowing it was the Lynch family and sbig shots. With their backing, Walter was even more reckless.

Walter was like a ticking tbomb, everyone could see it, but no one could defuse it.

Calvin couldn't leave, putting him in constant danger.

Quinn had wanted a break, but now she felt even more weighed down.

The peace she thought she had was just an illusion.

After walking for a bit, Quinn felt tired and didn't want to go any further. She found a bench, sat down, and said, "Let's rest for a bit. I'm tired." Alexander sat next to her with Sprout in his arms, noticing her worried look. "Don't stress. Calvin will be okay." Quinn turned to him and shook her head. "I don't want anything to happen to you either." Alexander smiled at her words.

Quinn asked, "Why are you smiling?" Alexander replied, "Nothing. It's just rare to hear you show concern." Quinn was momentarily taken aback.

Sometimes she said one thing but meant another. Alexander liked to tease her, so their words often didn't match their true feelings.

She wasn't in the mood to joke and said seriously, "I'm serious." Alexander looked deeply at her, his smile fading a bit.

Quinn said, "I'm really scared, like two years ago when I couldn't reach you, and you vanished without a trace. All I I could do was hope for a miracle every day. Calvin is very important to me, and so are you. I don't want to choose between you two. If you're not absolutely sure you can help him, don't take the risk." As Quinn spoke, she realized her words were actually leaning towards Alexander.

But if Alexander wasn't confident in saving Calvin and got himself into trouble, she could do nothing.

No matter what, she would be the one who suffered in the end.

Alexander listened quietly until she finished. He then placed Sprout beside him and pulled Quinn into his arms.

Alexander said, "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I get what you mean. I used to go against your wishes and do what I thought was best for you. I've thought a lot about that." Quinn looked up at him, her expression softening.

Alexander had truly changed. He wasn't the man who thought he could control everything anymore.

His arrogance and sharp edges were gone, replaced by a steadiness. Quinn could feel a sense of responsibility from him.

But Quinn knew his change wasn't just about getting older.

He must have gone through sdeep hardships that had worn down the rough edges of his soul.

Quinn didn't say anything and leaned on Alexander's shoulder, smetting the faint floral scent on his shirt, feeling ΕΠ his warmth.
