Love Unspoken

Chapter 1418

Quinn was about to say something but remembered the bug and shut her mouth.

She walked over with Sprout in her arms, giving Alexander a look that said, "Why are you here?"

Alexander suddenly stood up, staring her down. "Didn't I tell you to go back? Why are you still messing with the Vitex Group?"

Quinn's eyes went wide, and she froze for a couple of seconds. Sprout squirmed in her arms, almost slipping out.

"What are you doing?" she asked, confused.

Had Alexander lost it?

He raised his hand, holding a small square device that looked like a walkie-talkie.

"What's that?" Quinn asked.

"A signal jammer," Alexander replied.

Quinn let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

"Won't they notice?" she asked, worried.

Alexander sighed. "It's fine for a short while. They won't check too closely at night."

Quinn nodded, carried Sprout to the sofa, and put him in the stroller.

Then she turned back to Alexander. "Did you come here just to talk about this?"

"What else?" Alexander shot back.

"Then tell me, what else are you hiding from me?" Quinn retorted.

She didn't break eye contact. They stared at each other, like they were having a silent showdown.

After a moment, Alexander closed his eyes, looking a bit defeated.

He looked away and sat down on the sofa. "Don't ask. There's nothing else."

Quinn didn't know if she should believe him. Whether he told her or not, pushing him wouldn't help. She asked again, "Then what happened to you this past year? Can you at least tell me that?" "It's a long story. I'll tell you when I can," Alexander said, placing the jammer beside him and looking up at her. "Go back and wait for me, okay?"
