Love Unspoken

Landon walked up to her, affectionately wrapping his arm around her shoulder and pointing ahead with his hand. "Do you see it? It's right there." Quinn followed his finger and saw a huge white cruise ship docked at the pier. Its lights shone brightly; and faint sounds of revelry could be heard. Quinn blinked, thinking that Alexander was really inside.

"Let's go." Landon hugged her shoulder and nudged her forward.

There was still some distance to walk from here to the yacht, about ten minutes.

As they reached the pier, more people started to gather.

There were quite a few men and women on the pier. All dressed fashionably, some in alternative styles, others in elegant and noble attire.

The only certainty was that these people had rather complex identities.

Landon calmly led her towards the cruise ship. The yacht's entrance was guarded by several heavily armed individuals who resembled soldiers but more like mercenaries.

They were covered up tightly, with nothing visible except their eyes peeking out from their helmets.

Quinn curiously looked around. There were many people here; and while she was curious, she also felt a bit scared.

She instinctively held onto Landon's arm beside her.

Compared to these people, Landon seemed relatively normal, both in speech and attire, appearing composed and reliable.

And now, she couldn't understand what it meant to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Landon paused his steps and turned to look at Quinn.

He hadn't expected Quinn to be so easily deceived. If he had known earlier, he would have acted sooner.

Look at her, she's acting as if she's counting money for him after being sold.

He now understood. The reason Alexander had been so protective of Quinn wasn't because she was important but because she was unable to speak; she had a physical disability. Landon was still pondering whether Alexander had intentionally shown him this, making him think that Quinn was important to Alexander, thus shifting his focus from Getty to Quinn.

It seemed he was just being overly suspicious.

Under the bright lights, Quinn finally saw the eyes behind his lenses.

They were phoenix eyes, slightly upturned at the corners, with a hint of wickedness.

Landon embraced her and walked in calmly.

There were even more people on the cruise ship, a mix of domestic and foreign individuals grouped, engaging in various activities on the ship.

Quinn spotted a restaurant over there. The smell of food wafting over, and she couldn't resist.

She tugged at Landon's arm, pointing towards the western restaurant over there.

Landon halted his stride, following the direction her finger was pointing. "Are you hungry?"

Quinn glanced up at him, nodding, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

She didn't seem afraid of him at all. After a moment of thought, Landon decided to take her there.

They sat down at the restaurant. Landon snapped his fingers, summoning the waiter to bring two steaks.

Quinn was really hungry; having only had a few bowls of oatmeal during the day, she was famished by now.

In no time, the steaks arrived. Then Landon placed both steaks in front of her.

Quinn wasted no time. She picked up the knife and fork next to her and started eating, although she wasn't very skilled with them. She tossed the small knife aside and used the fork to eat the steak. Landon sat across from her, quietly watching her.

Her hair was a bit tousled from the wind, scattered haphazardly behind her head; and she even managed to eat some of it along with the steak. She raised her hand to pull the hair out of her mouth and continued eating the steak. The steak wasn't cooked well, but she was too hungry to care and enjoyed it nonetheless.

Quinn quickly finished the steak. With a ring of oil around her mouth, she glanced at the other steak and then looked at Landon with pleading eyes.
