Love Unspoken

Chapter 1583

The next morning, Quinn woke up to the blinding sunlight making her eyes ache. She raised her hand to block it and slowly opened her eyes. Alexander was gone again. "Did he go crab hunting again?" Quinn mumbled to herself.

She got up, still using Alexander's suit jacket as a makeshift bed. She scanned the beach but didn't see anyone, so she headed towards the village.

'Maybe he's by the well,' she thought.

But when she got there, Alexander was nowhere in sight.

"Where did he go?" Quinn muttered.

She called out, "Alexander!"

No answer. Her heart skipped a beat. Did he leave her to do something else?

Ignoring the bushes around her, she ran inside. "Alexander, where are you?" she shouted.

Just as she was starting to panic, she heard Alexander's voice from the house, "Over here."

Quinn turned towards the house. 'Why is he inside again?' she wondered.

After a moment's hesitation, she walked to the house.

The door was open, but Alexander wasn't in the living room. She heard noises coming from another room.

Quinn had a bad feeling.

She slowly approached the door, peeked inside, and saw a coffin with Alexander standing in front of it, staring inside.

Quinn almost fainted. She clung to the door frame. "What are you doing in there?"

Alexander turned to her. "What are you standing there for? Come in."

"No way, you come out. Why did you open the coffin? That's creepy," Quinn said. Why was Alexander so curious? Did he really need to see what was inside? Alexander laughed. "There's nothing in here. If you don't believe me, come and see."

Quinn shook her head. "I'm not going in. Come out, or I'll get mad."

Alexander smirked. "Come on, I'm not lying."

Quinn still shook her head. "Even if it's empty, I'm not looking."

Alexander sighed, closed the coffin lid, and walked out.

Quinn grabbed his arm and pulled him outside. "Did you wake up just to look at coffins? You're so boring."

"I just wanted to see what they were for," Alexander said. "Turns out, most of these unsealed coffins are empty." Quinn paused, shocked. "Most? You looked at a lot?"
