Love Unspoken

Alexander gently stroked Quinn's cheek and whispered, "Go to sleep."

Quinn's eyes flickered as she gazed at him for a moment, then turned over, facing away from him.

Alexander looked at the back of her head in silence for a moment, then reached out to turn off the light in the room.

As the room fell into darkness, tears welled up in Quinn's eyes. Outside, the sound of rain had lessened, but it was particularly audible in the quiet room.

Feeling Alexander beside her, Quinn curled up in bed, not daring to move. Time passed by slowly, with both of them in a stalemate. Eventually, Quinn drifted off to sleep in a daze.

Quinn woke up to the bright morning light streaming through the window. She gazed at the rain-soaked leaves outside, their fresh green color shimmering.

Getting out of bed, she caught sight of Alexander sitting beside her, his dark eyes focused on her. Quinn tensed, questioning why he was still there.

Alexander's gaze swept over the expression on her face, revealing a hint of disappointment.

"It's time for breakfast." Alexander withdrew his gaze, and William brought a tray over.

Quinn's eyes fell on the tray, filled with bread and pastries. She looked at the exquisite pastries and swallowed nervously.

However, Quinn cautiously glanced at Alexander.

Alexander handed her the tray. "Aren't you going to eat?"

Quinn reached out eagerly for a pastry. But before she could touch it, Alexander took it away.

Quinn furrowed her brow, awkwardly retracting her hand. Deep down, she believed he was truly a bad person.

Alexander said, "Go wash up."

Quinn hesitated, looking up at Alexander.

He nodded in a direction. "Over there."

Following his gaze, Quinn saw a door in that direction.

After a moment's contemplation, she threw back the covers, rose from the bed, and made her way to the bathroom.

The bathroom was well-stocked, with two toothbrushes. Quinn chose the pink one, squeezed out some toothpaste, and began brushing her teeth.

As she gazed at her reflection in the mirror, her movements gradually slowed. The person staring back at her seemed unfamiliar, and she instinctively felt that it wasn't supposed to be her.

Holding the toothbrush, Quinn extended her hand to touch the mirror. The figure in the mirror mimicked her movements, their hands meeting on the reflective surface.

Surprised, Quinn quickly withdrew her hand and proceeded to brush her teeth.

Afterward, she washed her hands and used a pink towel to freshen up her face. Each action flowed effortlessly as if she had done them countless times before. Alexander leaned against the doorway, quietly watching her, a hint of confusion in his expression as well.

After finishing brushing her teeth, Quinn turned around to see Alexander at the door, which startled her once again and made her face pale. Alexander turned back into the bedroom.

Feeling a bit hungry, she gathered her courage and moved to sit across from Alexander, reaching for a pastry on the plate and taking a bite.

As she ate, she stole glances at Alexander, who was reading the newspaper and paying no attention to her.

Quinn felt relieved and boldly grabbed more pastries from the table, stuffing them into her mouth as if she hadn't eaten in ages.

In her haste, Quinn choked a bit, patting her chest and letting out a burp.

Alexander glanced at her, seeing her in such a state, with the pastry stuck in her mouth.

He picked up the milk from the table and handed it to her.

Quinn took it and drank, washing down the pastry with the milk.

Alexander sighed quietly, setting aside the newspaper. He then grabbed two tissues and leaned in to gently wipe the milk from the corner of her mouth. Quinn's eyes widened, and she immediately recoiled in alarm.
