It’s obvious that Quinn put a lot of thought into studying her likes and dislikes.
The level of thoughtfulness in this, it made her heart tremble slightly.
Suddenly, the bathroom door swung open out of nowhere.
Quinn grabbed a white towel with one hand and dried her hair. The steamy heat carried the citrus scent of shower gel.
Why wasn’t he wearing a shirt!
The body that is usually hidden under a sharp suit is now fully revealed.
Smooth shoulder line, tight chest muscles, faintly visible six–pack abs, and a mermaid line that is faintly visible around the waist.
The water droplets followed his smooth neck line, slipping into the edge of the towel casually wrapped around his waist.
He noticed her gaze and smiled awkwardly.
“Sorry, I’m used to living alone…”
“No problem.”
Andrea quickly turned her face away, her ears burning hot.
Late at night, the bedside night light cast a warm yellow halo. Andrea lay on the soft mattress, her back almost touching the edge of the bed.
She deliberately képt a half meter distance from Quinn beside her,

even unconsciously lightening her breath.
Quinn rolled over, his cotton pajamas rubbing against the sheets, making a slight rustling sound.
He looked at her stiff figure, cleared his throat twice before speaking.
“Andie, did I do something wrong?”
The voice was very soft, but it was especially clear in the quiet night.
Andrea clenched the corner of the blanket tightly.
“It’s not…”
She turned around in a hurry, but bumped into Quinn’s gentle yet slightly nervous gaze.
“I’m just not used to having someone next to me when I sleep.”
Quinn chuckled and reached out to turn off the bedside lamp.
In the darkness, his voice was wrapped in a faint citrus scent.
“I understand.”
The mattress sank slightly, so he shifted towards the edge of the bed, creating a gap of half a foot between them.
“Actually, if you feel uncomfortable, we can sleep in separate rooms.
He paused for a moment, then continued.
“If my mom or my uncle or aunt suddenly show up, just tell them I have a cold and don’t want to pass it on to you.‘
In the dark, Andrea couldn’t see his expression, but she could imagine his loving gaze.

“That excuse is just too lame.”
She muttered under her breath.
And if Mom and Lucian knew that she and Quinn had just gotten engaged and were already sleeping in separate rooms, they would definitely worry.
Especially Mom, she was probably overthinking, thinking that her marriage was unhappy.
“No need to sleep in separate rooms, just get used to it.”
Andrea whispered.
Quinn looked at her, with a gentle and somewhat serious gaze.
“Andie, I respect all your decisions. I know you’re not ready to accept it now, and I don’t want to force you, so it won’t affect your quality of life.”
“There is a small bed in the bedroom compartment, I can go sleep on that small bed.”
After saying that, he got up and gently tucked in the blanket before walking towards the partition.
When he reached the door, he glanced back at her.
“Good night, Andie.”
In this space, only Andrea was left.
She lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, tossing and turning.
The rain outside was getting heavier, the strong wind was howling and banging against the windows, and the tree branches were wildly

swaying in the wind.
I don’t know how long it took, but she finally fell asleep, although she slept very restlessly, with her eyebrows tightly furrowed.
Meanwhile, downstairs.
