Love Unspoken

Alexander had never paid Quinn much heed. In his eyes, his care for her was nothing more than the fulfillment of a promise he'd made to Ulysses, a pledge to look after a hapless fool.

Having her around was merely an additional mouth to feed, a non-threatening presence in their midst.

However, the situation took a turn when Kaitlyn decided to punish Quinn. Suddenly, she found herself questioning the simplicity of the situation. What had she missed? How could her son neglect her welfare for the sake of that fool? Confounded and unable to make sense of it all, Kaitlyn found herself believing that the only way to quell the growing resentment in her heart was to make Quinn disappear.

Upon overhearing this, Freya's eyes sparkled with anticipation, eagerly fanning the flames of discord. "Mom, I warned you that that fool is not as simple as she seems. She went to the company to seduce Walter, and you didn't believe me. Do you now?"

Kaitlyn's gaze flickered with contemplation, but she remained silent.

Upon entering the villa, Alexander was immediately greeted by the butler, his face alight with joy. "Alexander, you've returned?"

"Where are they?" Alexander inquired.

The butler's smile faltered. He had assumed Alexander had come to visit Quinn, but his first question was about the other two. Could he possibly care less about his mother's well-being?

The butler began hesitantly, "They're still kneeling out back. Quinn fainted this afternoon, and the place was in chaos. No one has dealt with them yet."

"Quinn has just woken up. You should go see her; otherwise, she'll be truly heartbroken," he added, hoping to stir some compassion in Alexander.

"Hmm," was all Alexander responded before heading upstairs.

The Serena Blake quickly spread the news of his arrival.

Upon entering, Alexander found Kaitlyn lying on her bed, appearing as if she were on death's door, her vacant, tear-filled eyes staring at the ceiling.

"Brother, you're here. Please, try to reason with Mother. If something were to happen to her, wouldn't you feel guilty?"

Standing by the bedside, Alexander observed Kaitlyn for a moment.

Sensing the tension, Freya tactfully excused herself, leaving the two alone.

Kaitlyn dabbed at her tears without acknowledging his presence. "What are you doing here? I'm not dead yet. It's a bit early for condolences."

Alexander settled into a chair beside her, crossing one leg over the other, and watched her in silence.

When he remained quiet, Kaitlyn finally turned to glance at him.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"Get out! Go back to your precious dummy. I don't need your concern," she spat.

Finally, Alexander broke his silence. "Isn't it exhausting?"

Kaitlyn paused, confused. "What do you mean?"

"Putting on this act. Aren't you tired of it?"

His words ignited a fury in Kaitlyn, causing her to bolt upright in bed. "Alexander, do you have no conscience? I am your mother! Can you stand there and accuse me of acting while I'm like this?"

"Conscience?" Alexander scoffed. "Isn't this what you intended?"

Kaitlyn was left speechless, stunned.

She had raised him to be ruthless, to understand that it was a man's world, but she had never encouraged him to be heartless towards his own mother, to sever ties with such cold indifference! "Alexander, is that dummy really that important to you?"

A fleeting hint of distraction crossed Alexander's eyes, but it quickly vanished as he regained his composed, indifferent demeanor.

"To me, no one is important," he stated. "Not her, and not you."

Kaitlyn's face turned pale. "What did you say?"

"If you want to hear it again, I don't mind repeating myself."
