Rebirth of the Movie Queen: Mrs. Sinclair, Please Hug Me! Chapter 348: Teasing Before Parting

Quinn was sitting on the sofa chatting with Nina Sinclair when she suddenly received a text ssage from Caron Grant.

"Nina, I’m heading upstairs. There are still so details in the announcent that I need to get familiar with." Quinn clenched her phone in her hand, gave Nina a sowhat awkward smile, and stood up to leave.

She could feel that the content of the text ssage must be related to her brother’s recent outburst.

"Alright, little sister-in-law, go quickly and get busy. I’ll let my brother know you’re upstairs when he gets back." Nina blinked and waved her hand.

Quinn quickly walked upstairs, stood on the third-floor balcony, and opened the text ssage.

Upon seeing the content of the ssage, Quinn’s heart skipped a beat.

Why did she feel like the ssage content... seed a bit strange?

Could it be that she was the most important person in Caron’s life?

Or maybe...

No, no, it must not be. Surely it’s because she isn’t too familiar with the feelings between siblings, so she misunderstood Caron.

"Don’t worry, brother, it’s okay. I know you care for ." Quinn quickly typed a line and sent it to Caron Grant.

Quinn tucked her phone back into the pocket of her pajamas, leaned her hands on the balcony, and looked up at the stars.

They say people who have passed away beco stars in the sky. She wondered if the ’deceased’ Quinn Lockwood had beco one of those stars.

Quinn suddenly sighed, feeling increasingly lancholic.

So many things had happened during this ti, she barely had ti to sort them out properly.

Just as Quinn was lost in thought, soone suddenly embraced her from behind.

"What are you thinking about?" Elias Sinclair encircled Quinn with his arms, letting her lean against his firm chest, his chin lightly resting on her neck.

Quinn was startled, her neck tinged with a hot breath from the man, making her blush and her heart race.

"Y-you’re back?" Quinn instinctively shrank away, only to be held tighter by Elias.

The man’s long hand stroked Quinn’s lower abdon, while the other hand slowly lifted to play with her hair behind her ear.

"You didn’t even know I ca back. What are you looking at that’s more attractive than ?"

"Hmm?" Elias’s thin lips moved close to Quinn’s ear, whispering warmly and making the woman in his arms tremble occasionally.

"No, I was just thinking about the recent announcent schedules." Quinn lowered her head, trying to move her ear away.

"Have you finished all your company affairs?" Quinn’s face was flushed with embarrassnt, and she leaned her head down, speaking in a low, mosquito-like voice.

Although Elias couldn’t see Quinn’s face, his gaze had already been fixed on her reddened earlobes, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

"The dostic part is temporarily done." The man turned Quinn around, letting her face him.

Once Quinn turned, Elias lifted her chin, eting her gaze with his deep, dark eyes.

Tender, so tender like it was about to overflow with water.

Quinn was montarily stunned, her eyes searching his, as if she wanted to grasp that fleeting tenderness.

"Madam, I haven’t even told you yet, and you’re already reluctant to let go?" Elias’s fingertips lightly traced Quinn’s cheek, feeling like silky smoothness.

"What?" Quinn ca back to her senses, quickly retracting her gaze, blushing again, and her hazel eyes shimred as if with mist.

"I need to go to Italica early tomorrow morning, and I’ll be back at the latest in a week."

Elias looked at Quinn, his deep, dark eyes exuding an alluring glow, inevitably drawing anyone in, unable to extricate themselves.

The man’s handso and painterly eyebrows and eyes appeared calm in the tranquil night, one hand resting on Quinn’s shoulder, seemingly awaiting her reaction.

Quinn was indeed shocked by Elias’s news.

He actually had to go on another business trip, and for such a long ti.

Quinn’s hands, hanging by her sides, tightened involuntarily, and she felt a pang of inexplicable sadness in her heart.

"For that long? What’s the soonest you could be back?" Quinn slightly raised her head, her gaze flickering, her pink lips pursed slightly.

For so reason, she particularly didn’t want Elias to go away for so long.

The thought of not being able to see him for the next week left Quinn feeling an inexplicable emptiness inside.

"The new CEO of the multinational group has just taken office. I need to go and check things over, including the financial summary for the first half of the year."

"I’ll try to wrap things up there in three days so I can co back to accompany you." Elias bent down, maintaining the sa height as Quinn.

He gently rubbed the person in front of him, chuckling softly, almost like coaxing a child.

"If I co back early, would you be able to pick up at the airport? I wish the first person I see when I return is my wife."

Quinn felt suddenly dazed, as if all the blood in her body surged to her brain, making her feel tingly all over, as if thousands of ants were crawling all over her.

"Okay." Quinn nodded without thinking.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to think about it, it was that her mind didn’t even give her a chance to think or react.

Even though Elias had been subtly kind to her a few tis before, it was only briefly maintained during special situations.

But tonight’s Elias and, actually, since that one ti at the bar when he drank too much, seed different.

Every night, no matter how late he ca back, he would definitely go to her room to check on her. Even in the morning, he would deliberately leave late just to have breakfast with her.

Looking at Elias’s smooth and fair face, the man’s exquisite features appeared sharper up close, so handso it was hard to look away.

Quinn felt slightly moved, her eyes flickering with a bit of awkwardness.

"Alright, then we have a deal." The smile on Elias’s lips deepened, gently leaving a kiss on Quinn’s forehead.

Quinn’s breath involuntarily quickened, and her face flushed a deeper red, all the way to her ears.

Even though Quinn had always resisted being intimate with Elias, this ti her hands subconsciously supported his back.

The moonlight in the late night shone on the third-floor balcony, appearing very tranquil and gentle.

At this mont, it felt to Quinn like she and Elias were truly a couple dependent on each other.

"Madam, we still have sothing unfinished from that night." Elias suddenly gave a mischievous smile, his hand on Quinn’s waist slowly slipping inside her clothes.

Feeling the man’s warm, smooth hand touch her sensitive waist, Quinn instinctively shrank away and pushed Elias away.
