Love Unspoken

On the drive back, they cruised past the delivery station again. Outta nowhere, Alexander blurted, "Stop the car!"

Amanda slammed on the brakes and pulled over. "What the heck are you doing?" she asked.

Alexander didn't bother answering. He hopped out and then turned back, "You go on ahead."

"How are you gonna get back?" Amanda asked again.

"Don't sweat it," Alexander replied.

Amanda was fuming. The more time she spent with Alexander, the more she found him impossible to deal with. She couldn't be bothered anymore and sped off.

Alexander's eyes were glued to the black horse tied up at the entrance. He strolled over and noticed the bell hanging on the saddle.

He reached out, grabbed the bell, and it jingled softly.

Soon enough, Quinn came out lugging a bunch of packages. She glanced over and saw Alexander by the horse, freezing for a moment.

Their eyes met, and for a second, it felt like time stopped.

Quinn was the first to look away. She acted like she didn't see him and started strapping the packages onto the horse.

The packages were small and scattered, and a couple fell off right away.

She bent down to pick them up, but before she could, a hand reached out. She quickly pulled back and looked at Alexander beside her.

Alexander picked up the packages and helped her secure them with the rope.

Quinn pressed her lips together, ignoring him, and stepped around to untie the reins and lead the horse away.

Alexander trailed behind her. Even with his injured leg, he kept up with Quinn's pace.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Once they were out of town, Quinn mounted the horse. The next moment, Alexander grabbed the reins.

Looking down, she saw Alexander holding the reins, staring straight at her.

"Let go," Quinn snapped.

Alexander didn't let go. He wanted to say something but ended up staying silent.

"Alexander, what do you want? Why don't you go back to being the chairman? Why come here and suffer? Does this make any sense?" Quinn fired off a bunch of questions.

"Quinn," Alexander finally spoke. He looked at her seriously and said, "I'm not the chairman anymore."

"What does that have to do with me?" she said, yanking the reins back. "Don't block the way. If the horse kicks you, don't blame me."

Alexander held the reins tight and pulled her back. "I'm saying, I have nothing left."

Quinn was slightly stunned. She looked away into the distance. "I told you, it has nothing to do with me."

Alexander lowered his eyes and went quiet for a moment.

This time, Quinn easily took the reins from his hand, but she didn't expect Alexander to climb up too.

Before she could say anything, he wrapped his arms around her and grabbed the reins, charging forward. "Alexander!" Quinn yelled.

As the horse bolted, all the mixed-up feelings in Quinn's heart vanished, leaving only anger.

Alexander, behind her, said nothing and just rode the horse wildly across the prairie.

Quinn couldn't take it anymore. She reached out to grab the reins, struggling with him.

The horse got more and more agitated as they fought. After a wild run, it came to an abrupt stop, rearing up and letting out an angry neigh.

Both of them were thrown off the horse, along with the packages, scattering everywhere.

Quinn felt dizzy from the fall and lay on the ground for a long time before she could gather herself.

"Quinn," Alexander said, pulling her up and nervously asking, "Are you okay?"

Quinn shook her head, her vision gradually clearing. When she looked up, the horse was already gone.

She pushed Alexander away, catching him off guard and causing him to fall to the ground.

Still not satisfied, Quinn grabbed a package and threw it at him. "Alexander, are you out of your mind?" she shouted angrily.
