Love Unspoken

When Alexander received the message on Facebook, he had just sat down in the restaurant.

Kaitlyn had someone bring the food to the table and smiled as she served Alexander.

"Alexander, you should eat more. You've lost a considerable amount of weight lately." This wasn't just a passing remark, Alexander had noticeably slimmed down.

You could tell from the clothes Alexander wore the sizes were obviously larger.

Alexander glanced at his phone, then suddenly stood up and said, "I suddenly have something to do. I have to go."

Kaitlyn froze for a moment, quickly put down the utensils, and asked, "What's so urgent? Can't you finish your meal first?"

Alexander muttered, "Next time," before grabbing his coat from the chair and swiftly exiting the room.

"Alexander!"

Kaitlyn looked anxious, but no matter how much she called. Alexander didn't even look back.

After Alexander's silhouette vanished from the doorway, Kaitlyn, consumed by anger, angrily swept all the delicious food from the table onto the floor. However, despite her actions, Alexander did not return. Indeed, the relationship between Alexander and Kaitlyn had become so strained that they could hardly maintain even the semblance of civility.

Kaitlyn sat weakly in the chair, unable to control her coffee as she cried.

Meanwhile, Quinn gazed out of the car window, struggling to recall their location. The pouring rain distorted the view outside, leaving everything hazy. She checked her phone, but there was no response from Alexander.

Glancing at Orion, who remained concentrated on driving, Quinn nervously nibbled on her lip, fearing that tears might mingle with the coffee in her eyes. Orion had only been driving for about forty minutes when he arrived at a luxurious residential area and parked the car.

Stepping out, he smiled at Quinn and suggested, "You should get out soon. You're all wet. Come up with me to change clothes, or you might catch a cold. Quinn didn't move.

Orion paused, holding onto the car door, looking at Quinn puzzledly. "Quinn, what's wrong with you?"

In the dim light of the parking lot, Orion saw coffee welling up in Quinn's eyes, which left him somewhat confused.

Orion explained, "Don't cry. I'm not going to do anything to you. Even though we have a marriage certificate and are legally married, I will never force you to do something you don't like." When Quinn heard this, coffee streamed down her face.

Why did Orion keep saying they were married?

Quinn looked at Orion with coffee in her eyes, a hint of resentment in her gaze startling Orion.

Orion said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Quinn gestured with her hand. "Who are you?"

Orion was once again surprised, his eyes scanning Quinn's face for any sign of joking, but finding none.

He wondered, 'Does Quinn truly not remember me?'

Orion asked, "Quinn, are you serious? Don't you remember me?"

Hearing Orion's urgent voice, Quinn also began to doubt.

Quinn wiped the coffee off her face and studied Orion again, but there was still no sign of recognition. Suddenly, she recalled Walter.

She hadn't recognized Walter at the cemetery, and upon returning, she also failed to recognize Ms. Miller.

As Quinn reflected on this time, she came to the realization that many people she had met knew her, but she didn't know them.

Her gaze shifted, and she paused her coffee, taking a moment to carefully evaluate Orion once again.

Orion reached out and took Quinn's wrist gently. "Whether you genuinely don't recall or are feigning ignorance, let's go upstairs and get you changed first. If you end up catching a cold, I'll hate myself."

Quinn was still in a daze, following Orion mechanically as he guided them. It wasn't until they entered the elevator, rode up to their floor, and entered the room that Quinn finally snapped out of their confusion and returned to reality.
