Chapter 338
She is blushing and doesn't meet his gaze . When she is making this expression, he must stare at her intensely .
Then how to look at her without conveying how much he loves her?
When Cassandra disappears once again, Derek who manages to ask her the questions if what memories she remembers .
By now, she is 14 years old . Already, a young lady . She told Derek that rain pouring heavily, and so she took shelter in a church . Of a sudden, she lost consciousness then . And she remembers nothing why she was in the clinic .
And so, they made up a story it was he who brought her to the clinic . So by now, for Cassandra, he is her hero . But as Martin has to travel regarding work . Agreed that she will stay at the Montfort Mansion for the time being, as no one will look for her . Then they made up another story; telling Lydia and Mimie weren't home either and visits her family .
To make everything like real, they let Martin talk to her over a phone… which she was in a panic at the beginning; pleading everyone not to tell her uncle about what happened to her . And so, everything went smoothly .
He sighed . What kind of life has she been through? And him in that lifetime— was in despair for years . He can imagine what kind of loneliness the Quinn in that lifetime been feeling .
Cassandra has just gone for days, but it feels like forever to him already . And he is not sure how he should cope up if it takes years he separated from her— like the Quinn and Cassandra in that lifetime .
Quinn has been losing on his own thoughts when he realizes, that Cassandra peering at him worriedly . He wonders why, but he froze when she reaches his face and wipe the tears that had an escape from his eyes . It surprised him . Sadness showed all over his face .
"Thank you . I— erm, that's embarrassing," he chuckles .
She smiled while shaking her head . "I must be the one to thank you," she said .
"Ah, don't mention it . " he smiled back . Trying hard to act casually in front of her .
He doesn't want to lie to her, but things always complicate . And it is so hard to act like a stranger to someone you wanted to lock in your arms badly .
"Anyway, are you feeling better? Does your head still bothering you?" he asked afterward to lighten up the mood . And Cassandra shook her head .
"That's good . I am glad . But don't force yourself to move around, okay? Take a rest if you feel unwell . "
She nodded then smile shyly .
"Do you want to join me for tea? Do you prefer anything?"
"Um… is it okay for me to have some cappuccino?"
"Sure! Let's go to the kitchen . Let me make you one . "
"Do you know how to do them?" she asks with amazement in her eyes, like very surprised .
He laughs . She never fails to amuse him by her reactions; every time she comes back to this life . She is pure and innocent .
And yes . He was spending his single life learning everything he must need when the time comes, and he has to run the family's business he will inherit . From small details about managing the corporation .
