Love Unspoken

Chapter 1488 The cash was still sitting in Calvin's account, and Alexander needed to move it out first.

Alexander had quoted a whopping two hundred billion dollars, making a cool hundred billion in pure profit. He could even snag an island for his crew with that kind of dough.

Calvin had thought about the chance that Alexander might pull a fast one on him, but he never imagined Alexander would actually make bank from this. In Calvin's mind, Alexander wasn't exactly hurting for cash. Quinn checked the tand gave Alexander a ring.

"You there?" Quinn asked.

"Yeah," Alexander replied.

"Did you meet Calvin?" Quinn pressed on.

"Yep," Alexander confirmed.

Quinn let out a sigh of relief. As long as Alexander had met Calvin, there shouldn't be any curveballs like last time.

She asked again, "Did something happen to Calvin?" "Not really, he just wants to give us a gift. It's just too big for him to handle alone," Alexander explained.

"What kind of gift is that hard to handle?" Quinn naturally thought of something massive, like a plane or a ship. Alexander said, "He gave us a hundred billion dollars." Quinn went silent. Calvin was really laying it on thick, just handing over a hundred billion like it was nothing. No wonder Alexander had to go in person to get it.

Alexander reminded Quinn, "Don't bring this up with him for now. He wants to surprise you. Don't spoil it." His words snuffed out Quinn's curiosity. She responded, "Alright, got it." Alexander ended the call, tossed his phone aside, stood up, and walked to the window to take in the view. From his spot in the skyscraper, he could see the bustling cityscape nearby, but beyond that, it was pretty barren.

The contrast made the prosperity here seem out of place, like an isolated island in the ocean.

Transferring this money without drawing attention would take sfinesse.

Meanwhile, Walter got a call and then chuckled.

"Alexander went to see Calvin," Walter murmured.

It seemed Calvin had ditched the idea of working with Walter and turned to Alexander. But that was expected; Calvin wasn't easy to fool. "Keep tabs on Alexander. Letknow right away if he makes any moves," Walter instructed over the phone.

Then, he hung up and tossed the phone on the table.

Walter looked around the villa, which Alexander had previously left for him.

He suddenly stood up and walked out. "Molly, helppack my stuff." "Going on a trip?" Molly asked.

"I'm moving," Walter replied.

Quinn went back to her routine of taking care of the kids. Abigail had been MIA lately, and Quinn had no clue what she was up to.

Quinn was swamped with the two kids and didn't have tto track down Abigail.

When she finally had a moment, Quinn called Abigail, who told her she was out on a field trip.

"A field trip? By yourself?" Quinn asked.

"Of course not, Elliot is with me. You've met him," Abigail replied.

Abigail filled Quinn in on her and Elliot. Last time, Abigail had invited Elliot over to deal with Alvin and Nancy. After meeting Elliot, they were pretty happy with him and temporarily stopped pushing for marriage. But Alvin couldn't sit still and started to approach Elliot's parents.

He tried every trick in the book to see them. At first, they were polite, but later they straight-up kicked him out, and eventually, they refused to see him at all.

But Alvin wasn't the type to throw in the towel easily. He always found a way to meet them.

When Atticus Sullivan, Elliot's dad, was out socializing, Alvin would pop up.

Alvin would also show up at Atticus's company or even block him at his house. When Atticus traveled, Alvin would book the sflight. The guy was relentless. The Sullivan family never expected Alvin from the Vanderbilt family to be so persistent, sticking to them like glue.

Abigail felt embarrassed and decided to go on a field trip.

After hearing the whole story, Quinn couldn't help but admire Alvin's persistence.

She asked worriedly, "What about Elliot? What's his take on all this?" "What can he say? We've built a solid friendship now, and he's naturally on my side," Abigail replied.

"Alright," Quinn said.

After chatting a bit more, Quinn hung up and went to feed Sprout.

Sprout was starting to eat solid food, and Quinn had to personally pick out the ingredients.

While cooking with Olivia in the kitchen, Quinn turned around and saw Sprout shakily standing up from the stroller.

Quinn was stunned and immediately dropped what she was holding. But Sprout sat back down after standing for just a couple of seconds.

Seeing Sprout stand up touched Quinn deeply.

She carried Sprout to the sofa, keeping a close eye on him, and took out her phone to record his first tstanding up.

But on the sofa, Sprout didn't want to stand up; he preferred crawling.

He crawled onto Quinn, grabbing her clothes for a hug.

Quinn sighed, put away her phone, and realized she couldn't record it.

Since Sprout could stand up, it meant he was close to walking, as he was almost a year old.

Quinn did the math and realized that by the tAlexander got back, Sprout would be one year old.

She touched Sprout's head and suddenly remembered attending Peanut's hundred-day celebration. Peanut was just a baby then, and now he must be seven years old. She hadn't seen Peanut in a long tand wondered what he looked like now. If her first child were still around, they would be in school by now.

Reflecting on the past filled Quinn with an inexplicable sadness.

Although Alexander was gone, Quinn didn't feel as lonely as before. She could still video call Alexander at night. When they video called, Sprout was in her arms, Brandy was beside her, and they barely fit on the small screen. Alexander looked at them on the screen, smiling gently.

Quinn told him, "Sprout can stand up now." "Really? That's amazing," Alexander said.

"You're too perfunctory," Quinn replied.

Alexander laughed. "I didn't see it, so I can't feel your excitement. Next time, senda video." "Just wait until you cback and see for yourself," Quinn said.

"Alright," Alexander agreed.

Quinn ended the video call and took the two kids to bed.

The next morning, Quinn noticed Olivia hadn't prepared breakfast She paused and then went to Olivia's room and knocked on the door. After a while, Olivia opened the door, looking a bit pale.

"Sorry, Ms. Kennedy, I caught a cold yesterday and couldn't get up today," Olivia explained.

"It's okay. I just noticed you didn't get up today, so I cto check Since you're sick take a good rest," Quinn said. Olivia said, "I'm getting old, Ms. Kennedy. There's something I want to tell you." Seeing her hesitant look, Quinn already knew what she was going to say.
