Freya's laughter filled the room as she passed the baby to Walter.
"He's been an angel today. Barely shed a tear. Just look at this little heartbreaker," she cooed, "He lights up the
moment you walk in.
"The infant, still without teeth, let out a gurgling sound in Walter's direction. Yet, Walter's expression remained
unchanging, his smile as rigid as a mask, even in the presence of his own son.From the sidelines, Quinn observed
the joyful family tableau, her fingers absentmindedly caressing her belly.
Each tshe did, she was reminded of the emptiness within. She had yearned to keep her child, having
managed to escape Alexander, having endured so many hardships, and having evaded two gangsters.But the
Kennedy family had proven inescapable.
Freya, ever the provocateur, couldn't resist a jab at Quinn. "You're still young. You'll have children of your own
one day."Quinn's gaze met Freya's, whose smile was tinged with mockery and scorn. Forcing a smile,
Quinn remained silent. She moved to the couch and took a seat, pouring herself a glass of water. Freya, irked by
Quinn's silence, abruptly rose from her seat. "Walter, can you watch Peanut for a moment? | need to use the
restroom." "Sure, go ahead," Walter replied, adjusting the blanket around Peanut as he cradled him. Quinn
sipped her water in silence, the living room engulfed in an almost deafening quiet. The only sound breaking the
silence was Peanut's babbling, preventing the atmosphere from becoming unbearably awkward. Walter's gaze

Sensing his eyes on her, Quinn looked back, their eyes briefly meeting. She quickly looked away, focusing her
attention on her water."Quinn, where's Alexander?" Walter finally shattered the silence.Quinn paused, glanced at
him, and shook her head, indicating her ignorance.
"He wasn't at the office today," Walter continued, "I thought he might be with you."Quinn lowered her gaze, a
thought crossing her mind, ‘When has Alexander ever skipped work to be with me? He only makes exceptions for
Getty. On New Year's Day, he must have been celebrating with Getty. With this thought, Quinn pulled out her
phone and started scrolling through her social media feed. To find out where Alexander had been, all she had to
do was check Getty's latest posts.
It was like a homing beacon for Alexander's whereabouts. Oddly enough, Getty hadn't posted anything
yesterday. Quinn refreshed the feed several times, but the latest update was still from several days ago. She
checked Twitter as well, but it was the same. No updates. Walter seemed about to speak when his phone
suddenly rang. It was a call from Alexander.
He paused, placed his child back into the stroller, and answered the call."Hey, Alexander? Now? Alright, got it,"
Walter said.Subconsciously, Quinn turned her head toward him. Seeing Walter's serious expression, she couldn't
help but feel a wave of anxiety.
After ending the call, Walter wheeled the stroller over to Quinn. "Hey, Quinn, doa favor and watch the little
guy for a second. | need to step out."Quinn was momentarily taken aback as she looked down at the baby.
He was chubby and adorable, with
bright black eyes and a round, lively
face. Every movement he made was
bursting with life.She quickly looked

from the restroom. The sight that
greeted her was Walter leaving,
leaving her son in the care of Quinn.
