Chapter 122 It was odd to see him in this state .
Quentin was a meticulous man that liked to have himself in a clean and organized state most times .
Which was why it was a bit surprising to see him this way .
Quentin .
The words had left my lips before I realized it .
Askhan didnt look all that happy to see Quentin .
I sent him one last glance , noting the look of confliction on his face .
Theres something I need to do , Askhan .
Ill be back .
I said to him .
With that , I bade him one final goodbye and made my way into the Quentins car without a single word .
There was a smirk on Quentins face as he looked at Askhan .
Without another word , he jumped into the car and drove out of the palace .
Now that it was just the both of us in the car , I couldnt help the weird feeling that had wrapped itself around me .
The tension in the car was thick enough for a scissors to slice through it .
Quentins grip on the steering wheel was firm as he kept driving forward .
Moments of silence passed and I wondered if he was going to say anything or just keep staring at me from the mirror .
Where have you been all day ? I broke the silence .
He glanced at me briefly .
Been out doing a thing or two .
Why ? You suddenly interested in me ? I rolled my eyes , resisting the urge to make another snarky retort .
Quentin was the kind of person to antagonize you with his words .
I wasnt about to fall for it .
Not now .
There was no point in arguing with him .

I was better off saving my energy for something else .
Not this .
How did you know I was at the Alpha Palace ? I asked , changing the topic immediately .
He chuckled lightly .
Youre the center of all attention .
Its not so hard to find out where you are at all times .
So youve been stalking me .
I said blankly .
95.3 % Chapter 122 You make it sound like Im some deranged person .
Quentin shot back .
Who knows ? I levelled a pointed stare at him before looking forward once again .
All Im saying , He went on .
Is that I could very easily pinpoint where you are at any moment .
Youre not exactly someone whos on the low .
Oh really ? I sent him an incredulous look .
His eyes flicked to me briefly , a confident smile playing at his lips .
He probably thought he held all the cards here .
I leaned closer to him , gently stroking his shoulder .
It was hard to miss the way his whole body seemed to stiffen at something as simple as a touch from me .
Focus on your driving .
I sent him a dry smile .
It was like the air in the car had slowly shifted into something else .
It felt suddenly warmer all of a sudden .
Quentins grip on the steering had visibly tightened .
That didnt stop me from giving him a single respite .
I leaned even closer to him , my breasts gently rubbing against his arm as I did .
His eyes flicked to me again , this time dropping down to something else .
It was hard to miss how his eyes had darkened instantly .
I leaned back , immediately putting some distance between us .
He had gone back to focusing on the road before him but it was pretty clear that something had shifted in his demeanour .
I should have been content with just staring out the window and enjoying the scenery but a part of me wasnt the satisfied with just sitting there and saying anything .
My eyes landed on a bottle in the cup holder and I immediately grabbed it .
Quentins gaze flicked to me briefly as I took a small drink of the water .
When I was done , I rested the bottle in my laps and went about thinking on how I was going to go about with what I had to say .
The first thing that came to my head was to pick up the leaf that had stuck to Quentins shirt .
I gently pulled it off and examined it in my hand .
t Chapter 122 How did you get this ? I asked .
His gaze turned to the leaf I had in my hand .
I dont know .
Maybe someone got it on my body without me realizing .
For Quentin , putting up a front and maintain a cool demeanour in the face of heat wasnt anything too hard .
But I knew deep down , underneath the whole façade , he had been at my mothers grave .
That had been the only possible assumption .
So you really dont know how you got this ? I asked .
He shook his head .
Not at all .
What plant is this ? He asked curiously .
I couldnt help but chuckle at the act he was putting on .
I could feel myself deflate just a little .
Here I was , getting my hopes up that had prepared those flowers for my mother today .
I thought Id been so closer to finding out the whole truth behind it .
And yet , it felt like all it had led to was a damn dead end .
