While Alvin was gone Quinn seized the opportunity to leave the house.
" Gram, Pamela, and I are going out with her parents. Can I go? She's nice" Bianca frowned
" Where?
" The cafe. It's downtown. Here's her number if you doubt me"
" Are you going alone?
" Colt will take me. Uncle Colt is outside waiting"
" I see. Get Colt for me" he hummed running off to get him.
Bianca had no other choice than to let him go since Colt was with him.
" Don't tell Dad. You know how he is" Quinn pleaded which she agreed to then pulled him for a hug
" Take care of yourself and Colt bring him to me safe and sound"
" Yes ma'am. Let's go, buddy. You don't want to keep them waiting" he shook his head dreading the idea of missing it.
" I thought so. C'mon" he bellowed as Quinn dashes into the car waving Bianca goodbye.
Meanwhile, David and Kate were having a glaring contest. None wanted to back down.
" Have I done something wrong? David asked with unwavering eyes.
" Nope. We didn't have an agreement to see each other often. Why are you making a big deal out of it? She asked with a raised brow.
" True. Something feels off about you. Anyway, how have you been? He asked deciding to investigate her since his private spy had an accident.
" Likes what?
" Nevermind"
" What have you been up to lately? She asked with her hands on her jaw. His eyes darted to her plump lips then bit his lips sipping on his drink.
" Just course. The mafias are still trading with me. Alvin sold his ports and his board is can't be breached" Kate hummed picking a drumstick from the plate.
" Don't tell me you need me for such a trivial thing?
" I don't but you can lend a helping hand if you want" she cackled then shrugged.
" What's so funny?
" Don't tell me you're that pathetic. I told you my fight with Alvin Reagan is personal and I have struck him where it hurts the most. Just imagine the shame of Becoming an upcoming billionaire. The rest should be easy for you" David scoffed in astonishment.
" Perhaps. Can you stop at my house sometimes?.
" Sure. Why not? When I'm less busy" he smiled concentrating on his food then Kate's phone vibrated.
" Excuse me," she tells him picking the phone up of course she noticed the dubious look in his eyes.
He didn't trust her words.
She didn't trust him either.
" Yes? She said into the phone
" Hello Miss Patterson, where are you? Came Quinn's delicate voice as she squinted her eyes in curiousness.
" I'm nearby. What's wrong?
" I've been wanting to call you for ages. Can you take me out for lunch? I'm starving" she sighed in relief picking her purse.
" Of course dear.. I'm on my way. Where are you?
" Somewhere close to Pamela's" she hummed hurrying off.
" Don't go anywhere. I'm on morning way" Kate hurried out of the diner, collected the keys from her chauffeur, and drove off with a million thoughts going through her mind.
What if he lost his way? Why was he starving? She stepped on the brake pedal as she stopped a few blocks from Carla's diner.
Then picked her phone to call him.
" Quinn? Where are you? Quinn couldn't help but smile when he saw how worried she was about him but why did she abandon him?
Before he thought she was a surrogate but after seeing their marriage photo, he knew they were married.
Why did she abandon them?
What happened between his parents? Why isn't Colt telling on him instead he's helping out.
He went as far as lying to his grandma just to make sure he spent some moments with her.
But seeing her worry about him melted his heart as he was determined to know her. She'll tell him one way or another thus, he ran to her.
" Right here. Let's go I'm starving" he commented trailing into Carla's diner.
Kate laughed sauntering after him. It was certain he's used to getting what he wanted.
" Kate? Pamela screeched running into her hands then noticed Quinn.
" OMG," she exclaimed burying her head in Kate's thighs blushing.
Quinn huffed offended by her reaction then took a seat.
Kate chuckled picking Pamela up to sit beside him.
They had dinner while Pamela talked about childish things that won't stop Quinn from laughing his teeth out.
" Isn't she cute? Quinn asked as Kate nods caressing her hair.
" Yeah. Are you sure you're allowed to stay Out this long?
" Why are you so worried about what my dad will say? She shifted in her seat seemingly caught off guard.
" Have you ever had a child? A son maybe? She tensed staring at him like a lost puppy.
No, she shouldn't lie to a kid.
" I did. You won't understand" she snickered but he put his hands on hers urging her to continue.
" Try me" she stared at his grey eyes and smiled wondering if Simon had had her eyes or Alvin's. Who did he take after?
" I lost him. In a ghastly accident. I miss him" she whispered which had Quinn furrowing his brows.
What did she mean by she lost him? In an accident? What's she talking about?
" You were married? Asked a stunned Pamela.
" To uncle Dante? OMG" Quinn's face darkened.
Kate ruffled her hair knowing they won't understand.
" Not quite but I had a son once. He'd be about five years old soon"
" Oh," Pamela uttered in disappointment licking her ice cream.
No, she didn't want to get involved.
" Who was your husband? She chuckled wondering how she got to know such nosy kids.
" You don't know him. We're no longer together"
" You're divorced? Pamela asked in surprise.
" Perhaps. That's enough about me. Let's go to the amusement park-like I promised"
" Perhaps tell us his name" Quinn insisted expecting to know if she was his mother or not.
" That's enough for your little brains. Pam is exhausted. You should learn how to treat a lady Quinn" he smiled holding Pam's hands soothingly.
" it's okay Kate. Let's go and have some fun. I know Quinn has seen enough" Quinn gave her the don't ruin this for me look which had her staring at him apologetically.
Kate eventually burst out laughing at their childishness. Of course, she could read them.
" Help Pam with her coat" Quinn hummed to carry out her request oblivious to certain pairs of eyes that were staring at them through the see-through glass.
A furious one precisely.
