Love Unspoken

Quinn's eyelids twitched. She couldn't figure out where Maddox got all that confidence from. Honestly, she didn't think Sprout was that much of a troublemaker. Most of the time, he was pretty well-behaved. Maybe Maddox wasn't really looking to discipline Sprout; he just wanted an excuse to hang out with him.

With that thought, Quinn nodded. "Alright, Maddox, I'll leave both my kids with you. Make sure you take good care of them."

'Perfect,' Quinn thought. Now she could spend some quality time with Alexander working on their pentagon house without worrying about the kids.

Maddox patted his chest confidently. "No problem."

After a bit of chit-chat, he glanced at the sky. "Alright, enough talking. Let's get moving before it starts raining and we're stuck here."

Quinn looked at the gloomy sky over the sea, feeling uneasy, especially with two kids in tow. "Leave now? Maybe we should wait until the weather clears up?" Maddox insisted, "Let's go. This place is so desolate; what's the point of staying? Trust me, would I joke about your lives? I'll get you back safely!"

Since he was so sure, Quinn had no choice but to agree. "Alright, I trust you."

She followed them onto the boat, and Maddox had people bring all their stuff on board.

Setting foot on the island again, Quinn felt a wave of nostalgia. It had changed a lot in just a few months.

The path was still a stone one, but the forest greenery was almost complete. Except for the woods, the ground was all lawn, giving off a peaceful vibe.

It reminded her of those computer wallpapers she loved, with clean and lush green forests.novelbin

Even though it was winter, the island wasn't cold. The temperature was just right, and the place was full of birds and flowers.

Brandy and Sprout looked around curiously. They hadn't traveled much, and it was their first time seeing a place like this. Their faces were full of wonder.

Sprout squatted down to pick flowers from the grass, grinning as he handed them to Brandy. "Here, Brandy!"

His teeth had all grown in, and when he smiled, you could see his neat teeth. If only he could control his drooling.

Brandy smiled as she took the wildflowers and patted his head. "Thank you, Sprout."

Sprout beamed even more and ran into the lawn, tripping and falling headfirst into the grass.

The lawn was soft, so it didn't hurt. But it had rained, so the grass was covered in water droplets. When Quinn wrapped him up, he was covered in mud. Maddox looked at Sprout and couldn't help but laugh.

To be honest, he didn't really like kids, especially when they cried. The thought of them made him feel overwhelmed.

But seeing his nephew, he couldn't help but smile.

With no place to stay, they went to Maddox's house as usual.

In the past few months, the room's layout had changed. An extra bed had been placed in the living room, covered by a curtain.

Maddox pointed to the room. "You two sleep inside, and I'll sleep out here. Is that okay?"

Quinn nodded. "Sure, thanks, Maddox."

Maddox waved his hand. "No need to be polite with me. You guys rest for a bit. We'll have dinner later, and I'll take the kids out to play."

He waved at Brandy, who tilted her head and looked at him for a moment. She already knew he was her uncle, so she obediently walked over.

Maddox glanced at Sprout, who was exploring the house as soon as he got in, and didn't bother calling him. He just walked over and picked him up.
