Chapter 539
But he didn't give Quinn a chance to think. He let go of Quinn, lifted the covers, and got off bed. Then he picked up the clothes Kyle had just brought, took off his hospital gown, and changed in front of Quinn. Quinn stared at him, seeing the chest strap wrapped around his chest after he took off his clothes.
Kyle was right; he was really injured, and not lightly.
She was lost in thought when Alexander suddenly glanced at her, "Do I look good?"
Quinn came to her senses, her face blushing instantly, quickly turning her head to avoid eye contact.
Then, with a "click," she heard the sound of him buckling his belt.
Alexander put on his shirt, sat down beside her, and turned her face back toward him.
"It's me who's being looked at; why are you shy?"
They were very close, just a slight movement away from their lips touching.
Quinn's heart raced; she tilted her head slightly, avoiding his gaze.
He chuckled. "Have you forgotten about our marriage?"
Quinn was stunned again, subconsciously looking at him. At that moment, their lips met firmly.
She widened her eyes in surprise, immediately trying to stand up, but a hand behind her waist pulled her back.
Quinn started to panic.
She couldn't express her current feelings; she felt extremely uncomfortable all over and found it extremely awkward to see this face.
The man took the initiative to kiss her on the lips, and Quinn sat there dumbfounded, her mind blank for a moment.
He started with gentle kisses, gradually becoming more dominant.
Quinn's fingers tightened instinctively, the pain in her palm instantly sobering her up, and she pushed him away abruptly.

She stood up and took two steps back, then saw the man leaning on the bed, one hand covering his wound, his face slightly pale.
Quinn panicked again. She had just forgotten that this man still had injuries on him, and she felt somewhat at a loss for a moment. Alexander weakly raised his head to look at her. "Are you trying to murder your lover?"
Upon hearing the word 'lover,' Quinn's face flushed again. She bit her lip, unsure how to respond to him.
After all, it was just something he said, and she wasn't sure if she was truly married to him.
For so many years, to everyone else, and even to himself, she was just like a sister to him.
Quinn didn't think he would marry a sister.
And over the years, she had thought she had hidden her inappropriate thoughts well, not letting anyone discover her feelings.
So Alexander's words disrupted her thoughts, leaving her mind blank.
But at that moment, Kyle knocked on the door and entered. "Mr. Kennedy, I've made contact."
Kyle saw Alexander's weak complexion, and his voice softened, "I've reached out to Xavier."
Alexander paused, sitting up, gently buttoning his shirt, his expression returning to normal. "What did he say?"
"He said he'll go along with your plan, and he doesn't care."
Xavier had given in now. Ever since he compromised, he had become a man without desires or demands, simply wanting to resolve this issue quickly so that he could take his parents abroad and leave Amber Bay. At least for now, he couldn't match up to Alexander, but who knew what the future held?
Alexander got dressed and put on his coat. "Tell him to wait for me at The Wilson Group."
"Okay."
Kyle wanted to leave after speaking, but he glanced at Quinn. He was puzzled. These two seemed distant yesterday, but today, they seemed to have reconciled.
