Chapter 416
A subtle widening of Quinn's eyes, the slight parting of her lips, and a glimmer of joy in her gaze marked her reaction. "Do you like these two dogs?" Sean asked. Her gaze shifted from the puppies to Sean's face, which bore a hint of tension. In response, Quinn nodded vigorously.
A sigh of relief escaped Sean's lips as he quickly moved to place the cage beneath Quinn's bed. He opened the cage, gently lifting one of the puppies and offering it to Quinn.
Quinn, unsure of how to proceed, gingerly accepted the puppy from his hands, cradling it in her arms with the utmost care. The puppy, restless and curious, sniffed around her arms, its tiny tail wagging furiously as it attempted to climb onto her face and lick it.
As she looked down at the harmless, chubby creature in her arms, a touch of tenderness washed over Quinn's face. She cautiously reached out to stroke the puppy's head. The puppy responded by turning its head to lick her fingers, causing Quinn to instinctively retract her hand.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
She couldn't quite pinpoint why she reacted that way. Perhaps it was the fleeting image that had flashed through her mind - a scene from a dream where she was surrounded by snarling dogs.
"Quinn, these two puppies haven't grown all their teeth yet; they don't bite, and even if they do, it won't hurt," Sean reassured her.
To demonstrate, he placed his finger near the puppy's mouth. The puppy, indeed, bit his finger with its immature teeth, barely grazing his skin.
Sean immediately withdrew his hand and slapped the puppy on the head. "But Quinn, don't do what I just did. If you get it used to that, it might bite people in the future."
Quinn listened attentively and nodded, indicating that she understood.
Sean continued, "Whenever it shows any signs of biting you, you hit it hard a few times, and it will learn not to bite people."
Quinn nodded again, absorbing his advice. Sean shared more tips about raising dogs before picking up the other puppy from the floor and placing it in Quinn's arms. Seeing the joy on Quinn's face, he silently hoped that her happiness might persuade her to keep their secret or put in a good word for him.

The puppies, full of life and energy, wriggled in Quinn's arms, eager to explore their new surroundings. Fortunately, Sean had bathed both dogs the previous night.
As Quinn held the fluffy puppies, the scent of milk wafting from them, her heart softened."Quinn, don't tell Alexander about this, okay? If he finds out that you were bitten by a dog, he might not let you keep them," Sean cautioned. His words seemed to trigger something in her, causing her calf to cramp and her brows to furrow in pain.
"Quinn..."
She put down the puppy in her hands and began to search for her phone. After a moment, she found it in her pocket and quickly typed a sentence for him to see. Quinn: [What happened to me?]Sean's eyes widened in disbelief at her question.

"How is that possible? You...yesterday..." Sean trailed off, quickly closing his mouth. He then asked, "Do you remember how you got here yesterday?"
Quinn tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then shook it blankly.She typed again.
Quinn: [Where am I?]Sean hesitated before responding, "This is Alexander's private villa. You may not have been here before, but Alexander brought you here yesterday." Despite his explanation, Quinn still looked confused.
Sean sensed that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what had happened to her.
However, since Quinn couldn't remember, perhaps it was for the best.
