Chapter 100
Quinn felt that Cassandra wasn't moving anymore . He checks her out and saw, she truly did sleeping . He stared at the trees above them, the gentle sway of its leaves makes him sleepy . Ah… he has no sleep since last night . Quinn did not notice, he also fall asleep .
He wasn't sure how long did he fall asleep but he could still feel Cassandra's arms hugging him . He glances at his wristwatch and it's almost 11:00 in the morning .
He wonders if the Young couple came back already . He wanted to check out and talk to Landon alone but he doesn't want to make a sudden move and disturb Cassandra's sleep .
Did she have no sleep all night, too? Is the weather still bothering her? Ah, he has so many questions . He wants to know everything about her since they parted .
Quinn gently combs her hair when Cassandra made a light move and lying on her back this time . He watches her sleeping . He was tempted to draw a line on her nose, like the usual he did when she was a baby . She may feel a tickle because she buried her face on his upper arm below the shoulder . He smiled .
Quinn waited for her to wake . And when she does, he invited her to have lunch in the resort's restaurant . He asks her what food she likes .
Cassandra ordered some steak, French fries, pasta, some macaroni salad with eggs and fruit juice . Quinn can't help to laugh . This girl actually eats this much with that slender body . After giving his order, he began asking her some random questions like about the man-made forest and other stuff .
Cassandra talks about the villa and the wildlife of the forests . She said, a lot of animals moves in the manmade forest and make it their home . Quinn let her talks and he asks frequently . They finish their lunch for two hours and it feels just happens in a minute .
They went back to the cottage they'd stayed in and continue talks until Cassandra's parent came back . They bought some party decorations and decided to decorate the living room of that cottage .
Quinn helps to put up the decorations and Cassandra happily passes to him the balloons . After they're done, the food Hannah ordered now arrives . This is not only about Cassandra's birthday but also they want to celebrate Quinn's welcoming home .
Just the four of them, but the Young family were so happy tonight . Quinn put a pretty pink party hat on Cassandra's head and she handed him another party hat . Quinn froze, Cassandra wanted him to wear it but it was pink . Well, there is no other choices .
He takes it and wore it . Cassandra giggles and he laughs while staring at her . Over dinner, Landon asks about his study and he answered everything is pretty well . He was glad the couple avoid to asked about his medication . Both of them doesn't want to mention this in front of Cassandra .
He was also asked if when he will go back to New York . Cassandra looked at him with questioning gazes . He stayed silent . He doesn't know how to explain it to her, he wasn't prepared . But he understands why Landon have to bring it up . He wanted her daughter to be aware that he would leave soon, again .
Cassandra stands up and runs towards her room .
"Cassandra!?" both of her parents calling out her .
"I will talk to her," Quinn stated . He sat up and match towards Cassandra's bedroom then knocks .
"Cassandra, can I go in? Please open this door . Let us talk, okay?" He heard no response from her but her faint cries . She was crying .
For ten years of his medication, never recorded his heart has been complicating… but why does now? He can't breathe like something is piercing his heart inside .
"Cassandra? Please let us talk…" he did not give up . He heard light movement inside then the door opens . When Cassandra hits him, he just let her be . Her tears continue flowing down from her eyes .
She now stops hitting him but just continues crying . "You are a liar . You just keep leaving me . "
A pain pinching his heart . He pulls her and hugs her tight . "That never true . I never left you . " He said .
"Then why you left us for 10 years and never came back home?"
Her questions are like a knife slicing his chest inside . He heaved a deep sighed to breath . "Someday, I will tell you everything, okay?"
She looks up at him then asked, "And when that would be?"
