Chapter 1357

Quinn walked up behind him. “Sam…’

He ignored her.

In fact, he actually sensed someone entering but never turned to look.

Quinn could sense his rage without seeing the look on his face, but she asked anyway, “How’s your face?”

“Very good. What are you doing here? Why aren’t you staying with Ryan?” he asked with a hint of sarcasm.

Quinn would have stormed off in the past.

But for some reason, she felt like he was just being jealous at the moment.

Moreover, he was simply bad at expressing himself, which led to many misunderstandings between them before.

“I’m your wife. Why should I stay with him?” she asked.

Sam pursed his lips and took another puff of his cigarette while continuing to ignore her.

“Let me take a look at your face,” she offered then. “I asked the doctor for a prescription.”

“I said I’m fine,” he growled a little impatiently.

“Sam…”

“Go back to your room. Don’t mind me,” he said, his tone still harsh.

“Are you upset?” she asked.

“Why would I be?” He snorted. “Ryan’s right. I have no right to be upset when I’m useless.”

“And I snapped at him,” Quinn suddenly replied.

While Sam did a double take, she explained, “For your sake. You’re obviously not the man he described.”

Sam gulped, and she added, “I don’t like the way he insulted you either.”

“Aren’t you afraid of him?” Sam asked, his tone still cold but obviously changing ever so slightly.

It was likely that he did not notice it either.

“Nope.” Quinn shrugged. “He’s not my husband.”

Sam stiffened a little, while she tugged on his hand. “Come on. Let me see your face.”

His fingers twitched in return-he wanted to push her away but did not actually do so.

“I said I’m fine,” he said. “Go back to your room. I want some peace and quiet.”

“I will after I’m done tending to your face,” she said.

“I said you don’t have to…” he said in annoyance, but Quinn ignored him and firmly pulled him along to the nearby couch.

Sam grumpily shook off her hand just then, catching her off guard and knocking her off balance.

Nonetheless, Sam quickly turned around, quickly catching her right then, while her heart raced as she pulled on his clothes.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Sam was certainly worried as she glared at her. “Watch out!”

“You’re the one who-Pfft!” Quinn was suddenly giggling, stopping short of bursting into laughter.

“What are you laughing at?” Sam scowled.

“Your eye,” Quinn said, barely keeping it in as she looked at Sam’s right eye, which was blackened like a panda’s.

Coming to a realization, Sam let go of her and turned his back on her, staying silent and appearing even more upset than before.

“Sam…”

“Get out.”

“You didn’t want me to see that, did you? Was that why you didn’t want me to treat your face?”

“Nope.”

“You don’t need to be embarrassed now that I’ve seen it.”

“I said that’s not it.”

“Then why turn your back on me?” Quinn pressed. “Turn around if you’re not worried about it.”

“I don’t want to see you.”

“You’re lying.”

“Quinn…”

“Just let me treat your face, alright? I’d get worried otherwise,” Quinn suddenly pleaded, her voice soft like a purr.

Sam actually had a hard time saying no just then…
