Love Unspoken

Chapter 1585

"I'm not that impressive, just curious," Alexander said.

"Curious about coffins?" Quinn gave him a weird look. Who in their right mind would be into coffins?

Alexander shrugged. "I've never seen anyone keep coffins at home. If it was normal to keep bodies at home, there'd be more coffins around. So, maybe these coffins are for future use or something else, and if that's the case, they should be empty."

"But some of them are sealed, which means there's definitely something fishy going on. I just didn't expect there'd be gold in them," Alexander added.

Quinn nodded, taking in his explanation.

She had been too freaked out, while Alexander was busy figuring out what was up with the coffins.

'People really are different,' Quinn thought.

Seeing Kyle approach, she quickly asked, "Kyle, how's Calvin doing?"

Kyle grinned. "He's doing great, full of energy. He's probably still messing around with his house right now."

"What house?" Quinn asked.

"You'll see when you get there," Kyle replied.

Kyle filled her in on the island situation. Since it was out at sea, getting supplies and materials was a real hassle. After living in a concrete jungle for so long, they wanted to try something more rustic.

So, they ditched the idea of concrete buildings and went with wood and stone, which was both eco-friendly and pretty cool. Quinn was intrigued and couldn't wait to check out the island.

After about five hours of sailing, they finally reached the island. From the outside, it still looked like a forest, with no buildings in sight.

"I don't see any houses," Quinn said.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Kennedy. We left the outer trees to protect against typhoons and seawater. When picking an island, you gotta think about the geography. This place won't have tsunamis, but typhoons are another story," Kyle explained. The outer trees were left untouched. After getting off the boat, Quinn noticed a small path leading inward. It was paved with stone slabs and had wooden railings on both sides. The underbrush had been cleared and replaced with lawns, making the area look super neat, almost like a park.

there were various wooden houses of different shapes. They had kept the bigger trees and cleared the smaller ones. The houses were built among these crisscrossing large trees,
