Love Unspoken

Nicholas arched an eyebrow, sensing an opportunity and chose not to rectify the misunderstanding. He extended his hand for a handshake and greeted Ariel. "Hello there, can we come in and talk?" "Of course, of course, please come inside," Ariel replied, originally planning to leave but deciding to stay upon their arrival.

Quinn wasn't certain about Nicholas's intentions, but she trusted his judgment and followed them inside.

Ariel welcomed them warmly, offering water and serving fruit. Nicholas scanned the room. A worn-out blanket was strewn haphazardly on the sofa, an anomaly in the otherwise luxurious setting. Picking up the blanket, Nicholas didn't need to sniff it to recognize the distinct scent of the elderly. "Ay, Alexander, this is dirty. Let me take it away." Ariel hastily grabbed the blanket and tossed it into a hamper in the bathroom.

Nicholas continued to survey the room, his eyes landing on a bowl with a Sebastian resting on it, placed on a liquor cabinet next to the dining area. Behind the closed kitchen door, someone was cooking, but it was unclear who it was. Upon Ariel's return, Nicholas asked him, "Is that your wife cooking in the kitchen?" Ariel's expression subtly shifted. His wife had gone to her mother's and hadn't returned, so the cook was naturally his mother. He forced a chuckle, "No, it's my mom. You know how seniors are. They've got to keep busy with something, or they get restless."Nicholas nodded and settled back onto the sofa, "Let's get down to business." Ariel's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and he rubbed his hands together, "Quinn must have told you, right?" Nicholas nodded, "Yes, she told me everything. So cut the act and get to the point."

Ariel smirked, realizing his mother still held some sway in The Kennedys, enough to bring Alexander personally to his doorstep. He couldn't help but contemplate extracting a substantial sum. Suddenly, half a million seemed too little.
