Chapter 415 Encounter
Quinn and Chloe began their evening with a meal.
"Where's Jessica?"
"She had classes today, so she's not joining us."
Chloe nodded, and a soft "Oh" escaped her lips.
As they perused the menu, Quinn handed it to Chloe and leaned in to inform the waiter, specifying, "No mushrooms in the dish I just chose."
Flipping through the pages, Chloe paused. "It's fine. You can have them."
Though she wasn't fond of mushrooms, her aversion wasn't so severe that she couldn't bear the sight of another enjoying them.
"It's alright. The mushrooms are just a garnish here."
Quinn proceeded to order the rest of the dishes according to Chloe's preferences.
Chloe watched in silent appreciation.
He even directed the waiter to replace the soda water with water.
"Quinn, you're too thoughtful!"
Chloe was indeed particular about her food and didn't care for the taste of soda water.
But she could manage.
It was a small thing, but no one had ever taken such care of her preferences before.
Quinn merely smiled, but his eyes were twinkling with warmth and depth.
"I remember you promised to make me lobster."
Chloe's eyes lit up with recollection.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I've been so caught up in work that I forgot it!"
It was nearly August, and the best season for lobster was waning.
"We can always enjoy them next year. You'll still be in Urban Lane, right?"
Quinn's tone was casual yet probing, seeking to understand if the divorce would prompt Chloe to leave the city.
"That's my home. Where else would I go?"
Chloe responded with a touch of amusement. Her plans for another house were still unformed.
"You could stay at my place," he murmured so softly that Chloe barely caught it. "What did you say?"
"It's nothing. I think Urban Lane is quite lovely."
Quinn masked his true intentions, afraid to startle her with the depth of his feelings.
