Love Unspoken

Chapter 1564

Quinn stayed with the kids all night, and Alexander holed up in his study.

Next morning, Sprout woke up and found Quinn next to him. He started flailing his arms and legs, waking her up.

"Why are you up so early?" Quinn asked, rubbing her eyes as she saw Sprout tugging at her.

Sprout grinned, showing off his incomplete set of teeth, drool dripping down his chin.

Soon, Briar came in to call her for breakfast.

Quinn finally got up and took Sprout to the bathroom to wash up. Brandy had woken up even earlier. When Quinn carried Sprout downstairs, Brandy was sitting in the living room with Alexander, who was reading a fairy tale book. Alexander's deep, magnetic voice made the story sound pretty convincing.

"The squirrel said seriously, 'It's very deep! Yesterday, one of my friends fell into this river and drowned!""

"The little horse quickly stopped and didn't know what to do. He sighed and said, 'I better go home and ask Mom!""

"The little horse went back to ask his mom, so his mom took him to the river, kicked him into the water, and scolded, 'Are you an idiot? Why don't you try it yourself and find out?""

"It turned out the water was neither as shallow as the old cow said nor as deep as the squirrel claimed. Seeing the little horse bravely try, the squirrel jumped in too, but it drowned." Brandy tilted her head, looking confused.

Quinn smirked. 'What nonsense is Alexander talking about?' she thought.

Brandy asked, "Daddy, why did the squirrel jump in too?"

Alexander closed the storybook and nodded. "Good question. Why did the squirrel jump in? You'd have to ask the squirrel."

Brandy tilted her head, half-understanding, and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

She turned and saw Quinn had arrived, then ran over to her and asked, "Mommy, why did the squirrel jump in?"

Quinn glanced at Alexander. "Because someone was talking nonsense."

She turned to look at Alexander, who rubbed his nose and pretended to read the book.

Brandy nodded seriously, her expression innocent and earnest, clearly taking Alexander's story to heart.

Quinn walked up to him. "How many stories have you told her behind my back?"

Alexander pondered. "I don't remember."

Quinn was momentarily at a loss for words. "She's so young. Can't you tell her something normal?"

"Like what?" Alexander asked.
