I Stopped Waiting and Started Loving novel Chapter 150

One dark eyebrow hitched up in satisfaction.

The woman couldn't take her eyes off him.

...

Safely in the living room, Bonnie patted her flaming cheeks.

She pressed a hand over her racing heart, trying desperately to scrub those vivid, distracting images out of her mind.

Ridiculous!

She was just giving him medical treatment.

Why did she feel like the one taking advantage of him?

It was the weekend.

After finishing breakfast, with no urgent errands to run, Bonnie curled up on the couch with a clinical textbook.

Surprisingly, Quentin didn't disappear into his study for the day.

Dressed in comfortable loungewear, he took a seat on the opposite end of the sofa with a novel in hand.

The living room was perfectly quiet, the silence broken only by the occasional rustle of turning pages.

A long time passed before Quentin finally broke the stillness.

"You're highly skilled. Why didn't you go to grad school?"

His long fingers traced the edge of a page, his eyes still fixed on the text as he spoke in a casual tone.

"People in your field usually aim for a doctorate."

Bonnie looked up from her reading, momentarily caught off guard before letting out a bitter little laugh.

"I didn't have the time to apply."

Quentin frowned, glancing sideways at her.

Bonnie was already used to his permanent scowl, so she merely closed her book with a resigned sigh.

"Back then, I was working multiple jobs just to stay afloat. I was practically running on fumes every single day. I couldn't even finish the books I wanted to read, let alone find the time to prep for entrance exams."

"Plus, the school I wanted wasn't in Harlow City, and I couldn't afford to relocate, so I just shelved the idea."

A flicker of interest crossed Quentin's eyes. "Where did you want to go?"
