I Stopped Waiting and Started Loving novel Chapter 239

With that, he lay down without even changing his clothes, pulling the duvet tightly over himself.

Bonnie stood frozen in place, her brow furrowed in a tight knot.

Replaying what she had said, she still didn't feel she was wrong.

She just didn't want him wasting his feelings on a dead end.

She had survived Parrish York; she truly couldn't afford to love anyone ever again.

Eventually, she let out a soft sigh, turned around, and left the master bedroom.

She closed the door behind her, hoping the space would help him cool off.

Only when he heard the door click shut did Quentin finally roll onto his back.

There was no light in his eyes, just an endless, hollow void of darkness.

Suddenly, a wave of regret washed over him. Had he been too harsh?

He shouldn't have been so reckless. He definitely shouldn't have lost control with her.

The deeper the remorse set in, the worse his head throbbed, feeling as though thousands of needles were piercing his skull.

He remembered the message she had sent him earlier that day. She clearly needed a favor, yet he had brutally pushed her away.

For a moment, the regret nearly swallowed him whole, causing his headache to spike violently.

That night, she didn't return to the master bedroom, opting for her original, smaller room instead.

But she couldn't stop worrying about his health. Tossing and turning, she barely managed to string together a few hours of sleep.

Early the next morning, as the sky barely lightened, she got up and headed straight for the kitchen.

Rolling up her sleeves, she began preparing herbal soup for him with the help of the estate's private chefs.

While the chefs possessed incredible culinary skills, they knew nothing about medicinal pairings.

The two executive chefs, both pulling six-figure salaries, hovered around her like eager apprentices, soaking up her instructions.

She patiently guided them, and by the time the soup finished simmering, nearly two hours had passed.
