Chapter 707
Catelyn knew that Cedrick never touched Quinn, so she did not bother with her. she was overwhelmed by thoughts at the moment, but considering how Stella had taken care of her throughout the years, she did not want Stella to be upset.
When Stella returned to Ocean Path Residence, she noticed that all of Quinn's belongings were gone.
"Quinn, where are all your things?" Stella asked.
Quinn was wondering why Catelyn was not as upset as she anticipated her to be when she heard Stella’s question, she glanced sheepishly at Catelyn and forced a smile. "This place is a little too far from Mason Group, so it's hard for me to get to work. I'm moving out."
"You're moving out?" Noticing the hesitation in Quinn’s eyes, Stella questioned, "If you plan to move out, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I didn't want it to affect your recovery. It's okay, Aunty. Even if I move out, I'll drop by to visit you all the time." Quinn forced a reluctant smile, her eyes glittering with tears.
Stella did not want to part with Quinn.
Throughout her stay in the hospital, Quinn had often visited her and would even call her 'Mom' whenever nobody was around.
Stella was still ill, so there was no reason for Quinn to move out all of a sudden. Considering the frightened look on Quinn's face, Stella came to the conclusion that Catelyn had done something to Quinn. "Cat, you've moved out to stay with Master Cedrick. rd feel lonely if I had to stay in this two-bedroom apartment on my own. will you just let your cousin stay here to keep me company?" Stella pleaded.
Catelyn was not sure what to do. If it was in the past, she would have chased Quinn out without a moment of hesitation, but since she was Stella's daughter, it was only natural that they wanted to stay together. However, Catelyn could not be certain that Quinn truly cared for Stella the way Stella cared for her.
It was obvious that Stella's injury had something to do with Quinn.
Before Catelyn could make up her mind, Quinn took Stella's hands and sobbed. "Aunty, it's okay. I've already decided to move out! Cousin Catelyn has been nice to me and even helped pay the rent for my new place."
"There's an empty room here, so why would she need to spend that kind of money?"
Realizing that Catelyn must have forced Quinn to leave, Stella glared at Catelyn with frustration. "If you don't welcome Quinn here, then I'm not going to live here either. I'm going to live with Quinn and leave your apartment to you!"
Slightly annoyed, Catelyn shot the two an icy glare. "Mom, who is Quinn to you? Why are you so protective of her?"
Stella's eyes widened in shock. Considering how far the situation had escalated, she had the urge to simply tell the truth. After staying in the hospital for so long, she had let go of her obsession with money and only wished to live peacefully with Quinn. After all, it took so much for Quinn to finally admit that Stella was her mother.
