Chapter 1301

Quinn stared at the text from Ryan for a long while and eventually texted,"

A miss is a miss."

She did not want to start over.

Ryan did not text her back after that, and Quinn put away her phone.

She reclined against the chaise lounge and kept staring at the city skyline.

She was really sleepy, but did not want to go to bed for some reason.

She simply lay there, letting herself space out and eventually falling asleep before long.

Sam found her on the chaise lounge when he entered, rolling his eyes disapprovingly at her inability to take care of

herself.

She fell asleep on the couch in the afternoon and somehow neglected to use the two blankets nearby-did she think

cellphones could be used for blankets?

Slightly irked, he strode over, arched his back, and scooped her up in his arms.

Quinn sensed his touch and frowned, shaking her body in discomfort.

Sam's heart skipped a beat as he stared at her nervously, as she looked like she could wake up at any moment.

He had no idea why he picked her up, even-was he too upset that he did not notice what he was doing? It was only

then that he realized he had her in his arms.

If she woke up now...

He froze as if petrified, but he soon saw Quinn snuggling against his chest, seemingly to get more comfortable

before falling asleep again.

Seeing that she was sleeping peacefully again, Sam heaved a huge sigh of relief.

They always said lawyers were sharp, but he could sell this one off to slavers and she would not know any better.

Nonetheless, he carried her to bed and tucked her in, heaving another sigh of relief when it was all done... as if he

was feeling guilty.

Wait, why was he feeling guilty?

It was just a gesture of courtesy, and anyone would do the same in his place.

With that in mind, he turned and headed to the bathroom.

As soon as he was gone, Quinn opened her eyes and stared silently as he left.

She had actually woken up, startled as she could suddenly feel her body rising into the air.

But now that she calmed down, she had an idea who it was, especially with that familiar scent of his.

That was why she pretended to sleep, since she could predict that Sam would not hesitate to drop her on the floor.

The man was vain and would never accept being exposed like that.

Naturally, she did not consider carrying her to bed a change in their relationship—it might be just a matter of

courtesy to him.

In fact, anyone with a conscience would do it if they could.

Even so, she had to admit to herself that she felt warmth in her chest.

Who knew if maybe Sam was slowly changing his perception of her too.

As such, she closed her eyes, waited for him in bed, and slept in the same bed.

She did not expect anything to happen, but it had been a while since they shared a bed.

And this was where a couple could start nurturing their relationship, no? Hence, Quinn waited for over ten minutes.
