Chapter 1405

Or maybe Ryan just could not accept that Quinn suddenly did not love him-that she was suddenly in love with

someone else?

Quinn stayed patient to come clean right then. "I don't need your compromise or your apology, Ryan. I just want us

to split up amicably-you, me, and Sam all grew up in the same mansion. I hope we can be family again."

Ryan stared at her, silent for a long while.

Quinn, however, did not want to prolong their argument-in the end, one could never wake a person pretending to

sleep. All she could do was to use her actions to convey her intentions.

She turned and started toward Sam—it was very late and she was still very sleepy, so she wanted to go home with

him. They could not afford to relax before Damian arrived and they actually signed the agreement for the joint

venture. All they could do was catch some sleep in between.

However, Ryan caught her wrist with a vice-like grip just as she turned, not letting go of her no matter how she tried

to free herself.

Sam glared coldly at Ryan, his knuckles always clenched.

Still, just as he was about to make his way over to them, Ryan suddenly said, "What you just did makes everything

clear, Quinn!"

"What did I do?" Quinn asked in confusion.

"While you were in a daze, you walked up to me when I called out to you. That could only mean that the one in your

heart is me, so stop pretending. I promise I'll be good to you from now on, and I swear I won't leave you ever again-

"You're not in my heart," Quinn retorted.

Ryan glared at her furiously, even as she explained, "Like you said-1 was following you because I was in a daze. It

was just a knee-jerk response, and I did not even realize it was you. At best, I thought your voice was familiar

enough to differentiate it from a stranger’s or a villain's."

As Ryan kept glaring at her viciously, Sam stayed silent nearby, working hard not to spring forward toward them.

Like Ryan had put it, Quinn's inadvertent reaction could well have been how she really felt.

She was only recently warming up to Sam because she still held grievances against Ryan, and she still believed that

she was the reason Sam was in jail for three years.

Nonetheless, Quinn continued to meet Ryan's gaze without flinching. "Perhaps I can also put it this way-you've

conditioned me. I was so used to going along with your arrangements and doing what you tell me without once

resisting. Perhaps my subconscious still retains that habit from childhood, and I followed you without hesitation

when you called out to me. But now, I'll do my best to fix that habit. If

Ryan's whole body was shaking in fury, the rage in his eyes palpable.

Even then, he could not accept the reality that Quinn no longer loved him, that she would be unmoved even after

he started making efforts to woo her and deferred to her!

In his mind, Quinn was always his, and she would always return to him whenever he desired, certainly not rejecting

him more and more like this!

Ryan's inability to accept that reality left him gradually overcome by his emotions. Throwing all hesitation out the

window right then, he started dragging Quinn in full force.

He would never allow Quinn to leave him or let her belong to any other man!

Quinn's hand ached terribly under Ryan’s vice-like grip, and she started to panic as she was virtually being dragged

along.

She could actually feel that he was not in his right mind either—he usually was composed enough and would never

behave like this!

In her horror, she was about to cry out to Sam when Ryan suddenly stopped, and she looked up to find Sam already

standing in front of Ryan, holding him by the wrist and forcing him to free her!
