Chapter 954


    Quinn knew her, so she walked over to talk to her and y with the child in the owner''s arms. Quinn


    looked extremely in love.


    It was until a customer arrived did the tea store owner bring the child back inside. Quinn looked like


    she had not had enough of the child.


    She looked at me and said, "You and Theo should get one of your own soon. You don''t have to


    worry that there''ll be no one to take care of them. I don''t receive many customers in my shop. I''m


    super bored every day and have plenty of time to take care of your child for you."


    After a pause, she continued, "You and Theo are both good-looking. I''m sure your baby will look


    very good too. Don''t waste your superior genes."


    She could not stop herself from smiling in bliss after saying that.


    I smiled as well, but my heart was bitter.


    When we got back to the shop, Quinn said she wanted to do theundry. When I followed her and


    saw that she was about to wash them with her hands, I thought I had to help her out.


    She refused to let me help. Seeing that I refused to


    listen after she tried to stop me a few times, she helplessly said, "These clothes are made of fine


    quality fabric and need to be washed by hand or dry cleaned. Theundry shop is too far from here


    and I''m not willing to go. Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well wash them myself."


    I pursed my lips. "Why don''t you move in with Theo and me? The more the merrier."


    Quinn snickered. "Are you feeling sorry for me now because you think I''m down and out?"


    I froze, then quickly said, "I definitely did not mean that."


    Quinn could not help butugh. "Look at how nervous you were. I was just fooling with you. I''m the


    Grants'' child, after all. I won''t put myself in such a destitute state. The only reason why I’m living a


    simple life here is that I want a quiet ce for myself. I’ll only know what I really want by leading an


    ordinary life."


    After a pause, she continued, "But if you and Theo have a baby, then I’ll definitely give up on this


    ordinary lifestyle and move in with you."


    I did not know how to answer, and it was not like I could answer her question.


    She lowered her head and said no more. Thinking that I was abashed, she did not bring this up


    anymore.

    After washing a blouse, Quinn grabbed a bench and ced it behind me. "Theo said you often have


    a sore waist ever since thest incident. Don’t squat here


    with me.”


    I nodded and epted her kind intentions.


    When we were done washing the clothes, she washed some fruits and brought them to the yard.


    We leaned back in the recliners with a cup of tea in our hands. Life felt especially peaceful.


    At three o''clock in the afternoon, I was ready to go home.


    Quinn walked me to the door and said with a smile," You’re a mother now, so there''s nothing to feel


    shy about. Honestly, I''ve even thought of the baby’s name. I''m just waiting for you and Theo to


    conceive."


    After she finished her sentence, my heart felt bitter and my mouth tasted sour. I slowly said, "Your


    wish wille true."


    It was just that I would not be the person to fulfill her wish, i


    Quinn was worried about me, so she reminded me when I got into the car, "Drive safe and text me


    when you get home."


    I nodded with a smile. "Okay."


    After starting the car engine, I looked in the rearview mirror at Quinn as the distance between us


    gradually pulled apart. I felt my heart starting to hurt.


    I turned the steering wheel and doubled back.


    Quinn thought I had left something behind, so she


    quickly asked when I got out of the car, "Did you leave something behind?"
