    Chapter 1405


    Or maybe Ryan just could not ept that Quinn suddenly did not love him-that she was suddenly in


    love with someone else?


    Quinn stayed patient toe clean right then. “I don’t need yourpromise or your apology, Ryan. I


    just want us to split up amicably-you, me, and Sam all grew up in the same mansion. I hope we can be


    family again.”


    Ryan stared at her, silent for a long while.


    Quinn, however, did not want to prolong their argument-in the end, one could never wake a person


    pretending to sleep. All she could do was to use her actions to convey her intentions.


    She turned and started toward Sam—it was veryte and she was still very sleepy, so she wanted to


    go home with him. They could not afford to rx before Damian arrived and they actually signed the


    agreement for the joint venture. All they could do was catch some sleep in between.


    However, Ryan caught her wrist with a vice-like grip just as she turned, not letting go of her no matter


    how she tried to free herself.


    Sam red coldly at Ryan, his knuckles always clenched.


    Still, just as he was about to make his way over to them, Ryan suddenly said, “What you just did makes


    everything clear, Quinn!”


    “What did I do?” Quinn asked in confusion.


    “While you were in a daze, you walked up to me when I called out to you. That could only mean that


    the one in your heart is me, so stop pretending. I promise I’ll be good to you from now on, and I swear I


    won’t leave you ever again-“


    “You’re not in my heart,” Quinn retorted.


    Ryan red at her furiously, even as she exined, “Like you said-1 was following you because I was


    in a daze. It was just a knee-jerk response, and I did not even realize it was you. At best, I thought your


    voice was familiar enough to differentiate it from a stranger’s or a viin’s.”


    As Ryan kept ring at her viciously, Sam stayed silent nearby, working hard not to spring forward


    toward them.


    Like Ryan had put it, Quinn’s inadvertent reaction could well have been how she really felt.

    She was only recently warming up to Sam because she still held grievances against Ryan, and she still


    believed that she was the reason Sam was in jail for three years.


    Nheless, Quinn continued to meet Ryan’s gaze without flinching. “Perhaps I can also put it this


    way-you’ve conditioned me. I was so used to going along with your arrangements and doing what you


    tell me without once resisting. Perhaps my subconscious still retains that habit from childhood, and I


    followed you without hesitation when you called out to me. But now, I’ll do my best to fix that habit. If


    Ryan’s whole body was shaking in fury, the rage in his eyes palpable.


    Even then, he could not ept the reality that Quinn no longer loved him, that she would be unmoved


    even after he started making efforts to woo her and deferred to her!


    In his mind, Quinn was always his, and she would always return to him whenever he desired, certainly


    not rejecting him more and more like this!


    Ryan’s inability to ept that reality left him gradually ovee by his emotions. Throwing all


    hesitation out the window right then, he started dragging Quinn in full force.


    He would never allow Quinn to leave him or let her belong to any other man!


    Quinn’s hand ached terribly under Ryan’s vice-like grip, and she started to panic as she was virtually


    being dragged along.


    She could actually feel that he was not in his right mind either—he usually wasposed enough and


    would never behave like this!


    In her horror, she was about to cry out to Sam when Ryan suddenly stopped, and she looked up to find


    Sam already standing in front of Ryan, holding him by the wrist and forcing him to free her!
