Past noon, a Mainland fighter jet now back to the Mainland Air Base . On standby, Meisha already waiting for the plane arrival . After securing the boxes, he waited no more and drove back to the mansion .
The Royal Naval sub actually arrived earlier than they expected . The commander raised the knots of their speed to break a record of the fastest delivery by sea ever . The Guinness World Records have been notified but the naval decided not to reveal it yet and keep silent .
Somewhere in Pacific…
"Commander, can we just do this once in a while, please? I think I'm going to puke, again . "
The Royal Navy sub stayed surface . The rest of the crew experience some motion from the speed they travel and now they've decided to stay outside to breathe some air .
"Commander Shelly, this is Captain Jefferson . "
A smaller US Naval ship vessel approaches them . Commander Shelly took his radio and communicate with the ship . Later on, the ship brings down two boxes . They found out it was all expensive drinks and beer .
"A gratitude gift from Crow Corporation . "
"Thank you, Captain Jefferson! Send our regards!"
"Copy, Commander . "
The ship now left them and join the rest of the US fleet .
"Commander! Just give the order and where ready!"
Commander Shelly shook his head . His crew happily opening a few bottles and began drinking . He checks the box and saw his name in one of the bottles .
"Hmm… this one is a vintage for real . "

Quinn's Mansion
Cassie is feeling better today and so she decided to walk around the garden . She played with the dogs and she notices a change with Crescent .
"Are you pregnant?" She asked the female dog and feel amazed . Cassie stroke the dog's tummy and she shows of liking it .
"Ah, congratulations, girl!" Cassie hugs the dog . Crescent followed her toward the greenhouse .
Cassie resting on the sofa along with the other dogs but when they began being naughty, Mr . Jing took them away and left Crescent to the Mistress .
"Missy! Here, have something to eat, it's past 3 o'clock…" Daichi places the tray on the table . "Here's your milk . "
Cassie watches Daichi placing the toasted bread in front of her, then a bottle of blueberry jam . She looks at Daichi puzzly .
"I thought, there's no more blueberry jam, brother Daichi . "
"Ah, we have a lot, Missy! See?" Daichi winks at her .
Cassie picked up the bread and she took a spoonful of the jam then spread all over . She took a bite and her face showing satisfaction over the food . Cassie unconsciously began eating the jam when she's out of toasted bread .
Daichi takes a snapshot of Cassie and shared to their group chat . Everyone felt relieved seeing a photo of her with a bright face . They can now breathe . . .
Later the evening before sundown, Quinn went home early today as he promised . The butler told him that the Mistress was on the Library and he found her sleeping on the sofabed . Quinn pushes a few strands of hair that covers her face and tucked in on Cassie's ear . He was tempted to kiss her now pinkish cheek . He is happy, she wasn't looking pale anymore . It made him so worried about seeing her suffering like this . He gently carried her and bring to their bedroom .
Quinn checks the kitchen if the preparation was complete . After finalizing everything, the maids bring out the food to the poolside where has an open kitchen for grilling party .
Everyone now arrives and help to grill and make other recipes . Cassie woke up and wonders if who carried her back to the bedroom, but she could smell Quinn's perfume, it must be him . She took a hot bath and get dressed . She chooses a floral printed long dress that has bright colors, she began liking to wear bright-colored clothing lately .
Remembering the beautiful woman with Quinn on the news, she still feels a little jealous . Compare to those women that link to Quinn, they all mature lady but beautiful . She's only 18 and the traces of immaturity still could see on her face . Cassie picked up the lipstick and applied some light makeup . She heard the bedroom door opens and Quinn calling out her .
"Cassandra?"
She is a little hesitant to face him but she glances at his direction . "Am coming down soon," she said and put down the makeup brush she's been using .
She wonders why Quinn did not speak . She looks at him and his intense gazes could burn her . The way he looks at her is like he is undressing her . His eyes were like looking at her naked body . She looks away and avoided his burning gazes . She could feel her cheeks blushed .
"Am finished now . Let's go . " She walks past him when Quinn spoke again .
"Cassandra," he paused a moment like weighing the words he wanted to say .
"You're very beautiful . "
Cassie doesn't know how to react . Or maybe she expects another word from him .
"I love you…"
Quinn expresses even though she stayed silent . She feels that Quinn now standing in front of her . Cassie looks up and opened her mouth but she can't bring herself to utter a word .
He put two of his fingers to her lips and shush her . He presses his forehead onto her and closes his eyes . Quinn sighed .
"Let's go . They all now waiting . " Quinn turned around and about to step away when he felt Cassandra's hand on his back pulling his shirt .
He let her weak punches hit his back . He could hear a faint sob from her while pressing her head on his back . Quinn turned around and wipes her tears then kiss her .
"I'm sorry…" Quinn murmurs, brushing her lips with his kisses .
"I hate you…" she keeps crying between hiccups .
"I love you… I truly do . . . you are the only one I could ever love in every life I have . . . "
Quinn was about to kiss Cassie again when his phone won't stop ringing . He frustratingly reaches his pocket and answered the call angrily .
"What?" He pulled the phone away from his ear as the caller where shouting .
"Where is Missy? She has to see who's here! Bring her quickly, boss!" Daichi reported excitedly .
Quinn hangs up the call and throws his phone on the nearest sofa . No more annoying calls tonight .
Sometimes, there are words just leave it unsaid and let the heart speak . . . . .

Small scene . . .
"Eh? The boss just hangs up? What's with him?"
Daichi turned around and saw every eye glaring at him . . .
"What? What did I do wrong?"
