Love Unspoken

Chapter 1574 Alexander sighed, "Seriously, I don't have any. You know all my passwords, and most of my accounts are linked to your card. If you don't believe me, go check." Quinn chuckled, "Relax, I was just messing with you. I believe you." Honestly, she didn't care if Alexander had money or not. It was all about his self-control. If he didn't have the willpower, even if she held all the money, he'd find a way to get more. What mattered was his attitude. Quinn knew Alexander was doing all this to make it up to her.

The store clerk had already packed up the breakfast machine. Alexander grabbed it and headed out with the stuff.

As they were going downstairs, they bumped into someone familiar.

Quinn was a bit surprised.

Freya looked shocked too. They stared at each other for a moment, unsure whether to say hi or not.

Finally, Freya walked over with Peanut, forcing a smile. "Hey, Alexander, Quinn." She used to call Quinn her sister-in-law, but now Alexander had nothing to do with the Kennedy family.

After all, they had lived together for years. Sbonds went beyond blood.

Maybe Freya, having lost everything, wanted to cling to this last bit of family connection so she and Peanut wouldn't feel so alone.

Quinn nodded, "Shopping for something?" Freya replied, "Yeah, getting a suitcase. Peanut and I are leaving in a few days." Quinn glanced at Peanut. He seemed fine but didn't say much. He didn't greet them or even look at them, just stared off into space.

Peanut had a rough life. Even though Abigail and Landon reunited, Peanut still had a broken family.

He never felt a father's love. When Walter died, he didn't leave Peanut with any. It's hard to imagine how Peanut would heal from that childhood trauma. Quinn sighed inwardly and looked away. "Where are you headed?" Freya thought for a moment, "Probably abroad." Quinn didn't expect that, but it was probably for the best. Going abroad meant a clean break from the past, a chance to start fresh.

"Do you have enough money?" Quinn asked.

Freya nodded. "Yeah, actually, I found out Peanut has an account with over two hundred million dollars." Quinn was surprised. "How did you find out?" Freya explained, "I found out when I went to the bank to handle his paperwork." Her eyes reddened, "He never told me, so I never knew." Quinn felt a mix of emotions.

All these years, she never really got Walter.

When did he stash two hundred million in Peanut's account, and what was he thinking? If he didn't want to acknowledge Peanut as his son, why do this? And if he wanted to keep it a secret, the money would eventually give it away.

Freya choked up, "I really don't know what he meant." Quinn guessed, "Maybe Walter didn't know when he'd die, so he saved this money. It was his way of making up for everything, maybe the last bit of kindness he had left." Freya wiped her tears. "So, he never really planned on living, did he?" "Probably," Quinn sighed. Walter was a proud man who had been pretending for too long. When his true self was exposed, there was only one way out.

Freya was silent for a long time.

"I get it. I'll be going now," Freya said, taking Peanut and turning to leave.

Quinn watched them walk away and couldn't help but sigh.

Alexander held her hand. "Con, let's go. Don't overthink it." Quinn replied, "Okay, but where exactly is Calvin now? Can't I call him?" Alexander said, "Be patient. Wait until you recover." Quinn looked at him suspiciously, feeling like he was hiding something.

They left the mall and headed to Abigail's house.

Quinn hadn't seen Abigail's new place yet and was surprised to find it wasn't far. It only took fifteen minutes to drive from Regal Riverside.

Quinn sent a message to Abigail, who immediately ran out to greet them.

Abigail looked at them in astonishment. "You bought so much stuff?" She started pulling out bags from the car. "What did you get?" Quinn handed her the clothes and cosmetics. "Stuff you can use. I think these clothes will look great on you." Abigail replied, "I have so many clothes already, and you still boughtmore.' Quinn laughed. "What kind of clothes do you have?" The yellow floral shirt she was wearing looked bright, but someone who didn't know might think she was going to work in the fields.

Quinn handed her the breakfast machine. "This is a breakfast machine. It's super convenient. You can fry eggs, make sandwiches, steam eggs, cook porridge. It does a lot, and you can figure it out." Abigail liked the breakfast machine more than the clothes. "I never thought of buying this. Quinn, you're so thoughtful. This is awesome. I really need this!" Quinn smiled. "As long as you like it." Abigail said, "Alright, con in. Orion should be here soon." Quinn was surprised. "Orion's coming too?" Abigail explained, "Yeah, after all we've been through, how could he miss my wedding? He said he was getting on a plane this morning, so he should be here soon." That twhen their motorcycle fell into the river, they almost died together, and then they stayed in the hospital for so many days. Abigail and Orion had built a pretty solid bond.

Orion was so surprised when he found out Abigail was getting married that he chatted in the group for a long tthis morning.

It was a cozy two-story villa, not as big as Regal Riverside, but perfect for Abigail and Landon.

Oliver and Natalia had arrived early. Since they were going to have a meal, someone had to cook. Abigail definitely couldn't handle cooking for so many people.

So, the task fell to Natalia.

Natalia and Oliver had just returned with groceries, and there was a pile of ingredients on the floor.

Oliver said, "That's a lot. Can you handle it all by yourself?" Natalia replied, "No worries, it's still early. I'll take my time. You can help me." Oliver agreed, "Alright." Quinn hadn't met Natalia before. When they got married, Quinn wasn't in Amber Bay, so this was their first meeting.

Seeing that they were busy, Quinn offered to help.

Abigail stopped her. "You're still not fully recovered. You shouldn't go." Quinn reassured her, "It's fine. I'm almost better. I've been lying in bed for days, and I need to move around a bit. Besides, if we wait for them to finish, who knows when we'll get to eat." Unable to persuade her, Abigail relented. "Alright then, let's go together." Abigail couldn't just sit back and do nothing; she went in to help as well.

Only Alexander and Landon were left outside. They silently found places to sit. To ease the awkwardness, Landon turned on the TV.

So, no one welcomed Orion when he arrived.

He and Casey stood at the door, looking around, thinking they had cto the wrong place.

It wasn't until they saw Alexander inside that Orion realized they were in the right place.

Orion awkwardly walked in. "Just the two of you?" He felt even more awkward once inside.

He wasn't familiar with Landon and had a grudge against Alexander, so he took Casey to sit somewhere else. They sat in different spots, each far apart.

Casey sat down and pulled a book from her backpack. She was even wearing glasses now.

Abigail cout and saw this odd scene, feeling a bit confused. "Why are you all sitting so far apart? Are you afraid of catching something from each other?" Orion immediately stood up and picked up a cage by his feet. "Abigail, I brought you a gift." Abigail glanced at it. "You broughttwo dogs?" The two dogs were Huskies, pacing around in the cage.

Orion smiled awkwardly. "I didn't know what you liked, so I brought you my specialty." Abigail took the cage. "That's fine. How are things going over there?" Orion replied, "Pretty good. We have two rescue stations now and five pet hospitals, all thanks to Quinn's financial support." Orion becvery enthusiastic when he talked about his work. He spent most of his trescuing animals and had even started several video accounts to share his efforts.

He shared these accounts with Abigail, which featured mostly rescue videos and various animal clips.

People would message or tag Orion when they found animals in need of rescue, and he would go if he could. As the videos gained more attention, as moreCattention, e! more people sought his help. He now wanted to set up more rescue stations in other cities. All of this was still in progress. Orion couldn't do it alone, so he started a foundation and gathered many kind-hearted people to help. After hearing about his plans, Abigail couldn't help but praise him. Orion truly loved animals and had always stuck to his passion, now making a significant impact.

As Orion's work grew, Charles no longer interfered and even occasionally used Orion for publicity.

Initially, Orion was very resistant to being used for promotion. However, later, he realized that with Charles's influence, he gained more support, donations, and adoptions. More kind-hearted people joined, so he no longer minded. As long as it helped more animals, that was enough. Abigail glanced at Casey beside him, surprised. "Why is she wearing glasses now?" Orion replied, "It's from reading. She reads whenever she has free time." Abigail glanced at the book she was reading, which was about veterinary medicine. "Impressive." Casey used to be illiterate, and now she could read medical books. Abigail patted Orion's shoulder heavily. "You've done a great job."

Abigail's eyes had a hint of teasing.

She nudged Orion's arm and lowered her voice so only the two of them could hear, "Are you trying to groom her? How far have you gotten?"
