Love Unspoken

Chapter 1560

Alexander set Brandy down and pulled Quinn into a hug. "Hey, don't be mad. Have you eaten yet?" he asked.

Quinn shook her head. "Not yet. I was with Sprout."

Alexander glanced at Sprout, who was still trying to feed himself but not having much luck. "You go eat. I'll watch him," he offered. "Have you eaten?" Quinn asked.

Alexander nodded. "Yeah, I ate on the plane. Go ahead," he reassured her.

Feeling relieved, Quinn headed to the dining room. Good thing Alexander had eaten; Briar had only prepared one serving, which wouldn't have been enough for both of them. After eating, Quinn came back to the sofa and saw that Sprout had almost finished his meal, with Alexander wiping his mouth.

Sprout didn't seem to miss Alexander much after the long separation, unlike Brandy who clung to him. He squirmed in Alexander's arms, clearly not wanting to be held. Seeing Sprout struggle, Alexander put him down.

Sprout stood up, wobbling as he walked towards Quinn.

Alexander watched him, a bit dazed, feeling like he'd been away forever.

Quinn sat down beside him and sighed, "When you left, Sprout couldn't walk. It's only been two months, and now he's walking on his own."

"Yeah, time flies," Alexander replied.

Quinn felt it too-days seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. Before she knew it, Sprout was already over a year old.

They sat on the sofa, staring at each other in silence.

Quinn suddenly asked, "Why'd you come back so suddenly? No heads-up?"

Alexander smiled. "Wanted to surprise you."

Quinn looked at him skeptically. "Did you bring a gift?"

Alexander was caught off guard, then smiled. "I'll make it up to you tomorrow."

Quinn rolled her eyes.
