Love Unspoken

"You're right. We are divorced. I've meddled too much!

"You like to stay here, then continue staying with these two damn dogs!"

With these words, Alexander turned around and walked away without looking back.

The umbrella on the ground remained in its place, but he kicked it far away.

Quinn just stared at him, watching him walk alone into the rain. The heavy rain swallowed his figure.

She watched as he got into the car and drove it far away. The beam of light disappeared, and the surroundings fell into darkness. Quinn sat blankly in the pavilion, letting the rain hit her face.

Quinn closed her eyes and instinctively hugged herself.

She felt like dying, but it seemed that there was still something she hadn't completed, something waiting for her to do.

She picked up the dog cage and walked to the corner, curling up again.

The two little dogs trembled in fear, just like her, homeless.

They suffered by sticking with her. Perhaps they shouldn't have been brought along either.

Quinn buried her head in her knees, listening to the pouring rain and thunder outside. This night was torturous, every second and every minute. Why was this winter so long?

Alexander didn't go far. His car was parked not far away on the side of the road, but the lights were turned off, making the car less noticeable in the dark. He had been smoking all this time, the car filled with thick smoke. He opened the window and let the pouring rain rush in.

It soaked him completely.

The cigarette in his hand got wet and extinguished.

He brushed aside the strands of hair that fell onto his forehead, tilted his head, and looked at the blurry scenery outside the car window.

In the second half of the night, the heavy rain gradually stopped and turned into a drizzle.

Quinn's lips turned purple from the cold, and her hands and feet were freezing.

The wound on her calf was soaked in water, causing a throbbing pain. She covered her head with her hat and huddled in the pavilion with the cage all night. Finally, this long rainy night came to an end.

The next day.

Alexander arrived at the company early; it was only 7 o'clock, and there wasn't a single employee besides the janitor and guard. He pressed the elevator button and found someone already inside. "Alexander, why are you here so early?"

Alexander looked at him coldly but didn't say anything.

Walter looked him up and down. Under the dim lights, he could see that Alexander's clothes were soaked, and his hair was a bit disheveled.

Stepping out of the elevator, Walter stood next to him and smiled. "It looks like you got caught in the rain last night, huh?

"Let me guess. Quinn got lost, and you went out looking for her, right?"

Alexander's calm expression finally showed a slight change as he turned to look at Walter.

"Do you want to know how I found it out?"

"Walter," Alexander suddenly called out to him.

Walter raised an eyebrow. "What's up, Alexander?"

"Instead of caring about others, why don't you think about how to improve your own value?"

Walter paused for a moment, then quickly resumed his smile. "It's my first day at work, and I worked late last night. Oliver, don't be so harsh on me. "It's actually you who seems to have your mind elsewhere these past few days."

Leaning against the wall, Walter looked at him teasingly. "Actually, many things aren't as complicated as they seem. You just need to investigate to find out. "Are you too lazy to investigate, or are you afraid of finding out things you don't want to accept? Are you afraid that you would be soft-hearted?"
