Love Unspoken

Walter headed straight upstairs as soon as he got back to the villa.

He bumped into Quinn coming out of a room. They locked eyes, and Quinn jumped in first, "Just getting back now?"

Walter gave her a once-over. "Where were you last night?"

Quinn frowned a bit. "I was home, sleeping. Haven't asked you where you were."

Walter chuckled, letting it slide. "Off to work?"

"Yeah," Quinn replied.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

"Drive safe and come back early," Walter said, sounding all thoughtful.

Quinn nodded and took off.

She had snagged a gig delivering packages out in the boonies. The place was huge, barely any people, and way out of town, so finding delivery folks was tough.

When she first learned to ride a horse, she picked up the job while passing through town to get some experience.

Having a job was way different from just riding for fun. For Quinn, it was more exciting. Plus, it came with a paycheck.

"Working today?" The delivery station staff greeted her.

Quinn nodded. "Yeah, where are the packages?"

The guy pointed to a corner and said, "That pile over there. Busy day ahead."

Quinn smiled, walked over, and loaded the packages onto her horse. Luckily, they were all small, and she could fit half of them. Two trips should do it.

Then she started delivering them one by one.

The closest delivery took an hour on horseback, and the more spread-out spots took even longer.

Riding across the prairie, looking at the vast expanse, Quinn suddenly remembered Alexander saying he didn't know the way this morning.

She glanced up at the sky. It had been sunny earlier, but now it was overcast. Looked like it might snow soon.

She shook her head to clear her thoughts and kept on with her deliveries.

Meanwhile, Alexander was not only lost but also couldn't walk.

He'd been searching the area for ages without finding even a branch. Dragging his injured leg, he'd only managed to cover about 300 feet. Finally, he found a stone slab and hobbled over to sit on it.

The place was desolate, and he was badly hurt. No phone, no wallet, he could only sit there and wait for rescue.

As time passed, the sky grew darker. Feeling a bit of cold on his forehead, he looked up slightly, and a tiny snowflake drifted into his eye. Quinn had really left him behind and hadn't come back. She probably wasn't coming back.

He sighed in frustration.

Sean had originally gone to look for him, but his car could only travel along the road, so he hadn't found Alexander after a long search.

Alexander's phone was still unreachable, and Sean began to wonder, 'Is Alexander dead already? Walter's men have been hunting him down. He might have been found by them. By now, he might wind up cold and dead somewhere.' The more Sean thought about it, the more freaked out he got. Seeing the snow start to fall heavily, he had to pull over and call Kyle for help.

When Kyle heard that Sean couldn't reach Alexander, he sent people to search for Alexander, regardless of whether he was dead or alive.

Alexander was indeed bold. Knowing he had enemies everywhere, he still dared to go out with just Sean.

The sky grew darker, though it was still early. The snowy weather made it look like night was falling.

Quinn finished her last delivery and saw that it was only a little after four. The snow would definitely get heavier, so she decided not to make a second trip. She headed back the way she came, returning to her place.
