Enchanted Nightfall: Falling for Destiny ( Quintessa and Tyrone ) novel Chapter 337

Mrs. York was irked. Did Mrs. Harrington suppose she could not understand the nuances of the conversation? It sounded as though Quinn had many skeletons in her closet.

Unbeknownst to Mrs. York, Quintessa did have a few skeletons in her closet, things like murder and arson.

Quintessa, once again named for reasons unknown, looked amusedly at Mrs. Harrington. This lady was really good at making veiled insults; but unfortunately for her, Mrs. York just didn’t fall for her tactics.

At that moment, however, Quintessa felt that Mrs. Harrington’s opinion was the least of her concerns. Her attention was solely on Mrs. York.

Feeling protected in this way was new and slightly uncomfortable for Quintessa. She was used to attacking but not yet accustomed to being protected.

It puzzled Quintessa why Mrs. York was so fiercely protective of her after just one instance of help. She felt herself unworthy compared to Mrs. York’s kindness and generosity.

She started to worry. What would happen if Mrs. York ever discovered the truth about her past? Would she regret being so kind to her?

Mrs. Harrington hadn’t expected Mrs. York to confront her so directly, her smile becoming a bit strained. “You’ve misunderstood, that’s not what I meant.”

Mrs. York stopped Quintessa from speaking and said, “If that’s not what you meant, then explain it to me. I’m not like you. If you beat around the bush and don’t speak plainly, I won’t get it. I guess I’m just foolish.”

Mrs. Harrington tried to clarify, “What I mean is, just like how celebrities can hardly keep their private lives private, everything gets blown out of proportion, including romantic relationships. Serena isn’t suited for work that requires confidentiality.”
