The Mini Polo car dashes through the road.
Looking at the streetscapes that pass so quickly, Yaffe’s drowsy eyes slowly shut down.
Her rationality tells her that it’s too dangerous to sleep in front of an unfamiliar man.
But her physique and mental have reached the limit.
Zeow’s appearance drained her last bit of energy.
Quinn keeps on glancing at her, so he naturally sees how she’s forcing herself to stay awake.
After Yaffe fell asleep, Quinn stops the car on the roadside.
With the help of streetlights and car’s light, he looks at her.
Yaffe is undoubtedly a stunning girl; she has refined features and white skin.
She’s always calm and confident, and it makes a lot of people stick their eyes to her.
Even if this kind of woman attracts man, but only a few men dared to pursue her, they’re all afraid of being inferior to her.
After all, only a few men like a calm and collected girlfriend (or wife), with stronger aura than themselves.
Quinn never thought that he’d meet Yaffe like this.
Five years ago, his brother got into an accident when he was driving his wife to the hospital. She was going into labor.
His brother spun the steer at the critical time to save his wife and child, leading to his death, while his wife sustained with her willpower.
If it weren’t for Yaffe who passed by at the right time and went into the crushed car to save his wife, the child wouldn’t have survived.
Meanwhile, Yaffe disappeared right after she sent them to the nearest rescue station.
These five years, He Family has been searching non-stop for her, but they never found her.
If not for the dashcam record of Yaffe saving his sister-in-law, he wouldn’t have recognized her.
He has no intention of letting her go.
**
Quinn’s car arrived at Yaffe’s house, Yaffe isn’t awake yet.
Quinn put his hands on his chin and continues watching Yaffe’s sleeping face calmly.
She looks so different when sleeping, compared to when she’s awake.
When she’s awake, she’s rational, professional, calm and composed, just like how doctors should be. When she’s asleep, she seems lovely and innocent, plus a bit childish.
Not long after, Yaffe woke up to the sound of knocking.
When Yaffe opens her eyes, she sees her gone-for-almost-half-a-year mother’s face on the driver’s seat window; her sleepiness got swept away in an instant.
“Mother, why are you here?”
“Did I interrupt your date?” Monismith looks at Quinn.
Quinn opened the car door right away and went down after Yaffe said “Mother”
“Hello, auntie.”
Quinn’s appearance makes Monismith surprised, she openly looks at Quinn from head to toe and says, “Hello, my little Yaffe didn’t trouble you, did she?”
“She’s very nice.”
“Yes, yes, she got it from me.” says Monismith with a smile.
Quinn nods with a smile, unlike the cold usual, he looks warm and respectful.
Over Monismith’s shoulders, Quinn sees a parked car nearby, and there’s a middle-aged man beside it.
It is most likely to be Yaffe’s father.
He’s moving some stuff from the car.
“Need any help?”
“No need.”
“Okay.”
Yaffe and Monismith answer in unison.
Quinn smiles, he walks around Monismith to Yannick’s side and says “Uncle, let me help you.”
“Thank you.” Yannick answered with a smile while giving him the way.
Thus, Yaffe looks at Quinn and her own father carrying luggage upstairs with a dazed expression. There’s something stuck in her throat, but she couldn’t swallow it in nor spit it out.
Monismith pinched Yaffe after Quinn went upstairs, “Yaffe, your father and I weren’t home for only half a year, and you’re already dating someone, you even got the guts to ignore your own mother’s messages!”
“I wasn’t in the mood to.”
“Watch your attitude.” Monismith is very dissatisfied.
“It’s my attitude towards you.” Yaffe turns and locks her own car.
Monismith clicks her tongue and says, “I just counted, you’re 26 this year, it’s the most exuberant time for physiology. Did the young man just now couldn’t satisfy you, your desires aren’t satisfied?”
“Damn.” Yaffe can’t help swearing, “Mrs. Monismith, you’re saying it like Mr. Yannick doesn’t beat you?”,
“Your father can’t bear to hit me.”
“Forget it.”
This unscrupulous old man and wife, they like to show their affection off and abuse Yaffe since she’s single.
She’s already used to it.
Monismith holds Yaffe’s arm and leans lazily on her shoulder.
Yaffe is 1. 69 meters tall, which is relatively tall among girls.
Ms. Monismith is petite; she’s less than 1. 5 meters tall.
Leaning close to Yaffe like this, she looks very small and lovely.
If Yaffe hadn’t slept and regained some energy just now, she would’ve been pissed off by her mother.
“Let me tell you, he’s a good guy, if you have no boyfriend, consider him.”
“Do you know who he is?”
“Who?”
“Quinn He.”
“Quinn He? The Chairman and President of Hersh Group?!”
“Yes.”
A look of embarrassment flashes across Monismith’s face.
After saying that, Yaffe shut her mouth, hoping it’ll make her mother understand the difficulties and back away.
Who knows…
“A man like him is worthy of my baby girl.” said Monismith.
Yaffe can’t help swearing again, “Damn, Mrs. Lo, is your head empty?”
“Yaffe, look at you, you’re a girl, but you swear all day, aren’t you embarrassed?”
“Didn’t you force me to?”
“Did I? My daughter is perfect; she should get a good man like Quinn.”
Yaffe rolled her eyes silently, “Mrs. Lo, do you only look at the first half of any gossip?”
“What do you mean?”
“You didn’t know Quinn has a child?”
“Huh?” suddenly, Monismith looks as if she’s struck by lightning, “Yaffe, say that again.”
“He has a child.”
Monismith swallowed her saliva, her expression twists for quite some time, “Then, is he divorced?”
Yaffe,”…”
She decided not to talk with such creatures whose heads are empty.
When Yaffe drags Monismith home, Quinn and Yannick already moved everything from the car.
Yannick pours a glass of warm water for Quinn and says, “Thank you for tonight; my house is too messy, so we couldn’t treat you well.”
“Uncle, you’re too kind.”
Yannick keeps looking at Quinn from head to toe, and he finds out that Quinn’s words and manners are clearly not ordinary people’s.
His suit and leather shoes are obviously very expensive.
Quinn doesn’t seem to know that Yannick is looking at him; he just drinks the tea.
