I’ve been doing just fine.” “That’s all I need to hear!” After saying that, Quentin seemingly thought of something. He then dug out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed it over to her. “I’m very proud of you, knowing that you got into Tissote University. These are the keys to the house that I bought for you near campus. You can stay there. It’ll be more convenient for you that way.”

I’m fine, really!” Quentin felt even more heartbroken when he heard her say that, but he didn’t show any sign of it on his face. Elise was the first one to get out of the car when he dropped Elise and Alexander off

Alexander could sense a certain pressure weighing down on him. It was the first time someone made him feel that way. Quentin quirked an eyebrow slightly and said, “I’m not going to beat around the bush, Alex, so let me just cut right to

ask you to take good care of her. Do not let her suffer, ever. As for your mother, there are certain things that I can’t possibly say. Still, I will have to remind you of this: regardless of anything, Ellie has me watching her back…” Alexander understood Quentin’s intentions. “Rest assured, Mr. Fassbender! Elise is my
