Ivy was surprised because it was Quinn Winfrey in person. He was a hand one to see on a normal day. While Terry and I were surprised because

He walked straight to Grandma Mira, kissed her on her cheek and give her the flowers.

I could see Terry from my peripheral vision frowning in
Ein disapproval and anger.
Why did you to looking for me?” I asked with a frown but he smiled and turned to Ivy who held her cheeks in a guih.
“How are you doing beautiful!” He asked and Ivy turned to me and Terry before looking back at Quinn.”
“Oh my God, he’s real! He’s real. He just spoke to me?” She said blushing,
Terry seemed imitated by her reaction but she was oblivious of how we felt about Quinn or what had trampired between us so I didn’t blame her
I looked at Grandma Mira instead and shot her a knowing look but she averted her gaze and pinned it on the bug screen instead.
Why the always called Quinn over was a puzzle that I knew the answer to but I didn’t want to admit that I knew and as much as I wanted to act okay with him being her to please Grandma Mira, I couldn’t.
His presence always catches me off guard.
Terry’s hands were tight. He couldn’t say anything because it wasn’t his house and Quinn wasn’t addressing me as beautiful yet
“Ice cream would be ready in a bit.” He announced and walked to the kitchen but Quinn called him back.
“Wait a minute. Terry wants to make us ice cream?” He asked with excitement but Terry frowned.
“Yes, he does by a answered with a smile.
“That’s great come with you. Let’s make ice cream together. He walked to Terry and placed his hand over his shoulder but Terry pushed him off mediately the frown still masked his fate
Ivy joined them in the kitchen out of excitement to see Quinn cook.

It might sound like a compliment to her but the rest of us didn’t see it as a compliment, considering the type of relationship they had.
We were halfway through with the ice cream when another knock sounded on the door. Terry looked at me puzzled again and I returned the look It wasn’t time for Moon or his nanny to come yet so I didn’t have an idea who it could be…
We both looked at Grandma Mira who protested at our gestures.
“What? Don’t look at me, I didn’t invite another person. She looked as puzzled as we did so I knew that she didn’t know who it was,
Tll get it” Terry opened the door and Veronica walked in with another bouquet beaming all smiles.
What in Pete’s name was going on! I exclaimed inwardly.
And what’s with the flower bouquets!
Hlocked eyes with Grandma Mira and she looked as lost and confused as we both did.
“What are you doing here?” Quinn asked with a frown but she replied with an innocent smile,
“Tm sorry for not letting you know babe, but I heard that Grandma Mira got into an accident and when I heard that you went to greet her, I thought that you must have forgotten to go with flowers so I brought them for you and I also want to apologize to everyone I have fought with or misjudged here
“That is not who I am, I was simply overwhelmed by the responsibilities I have to shudder being Quinn’s fiance, I hope you forgive me”
Terry, Grandma Mira and I exchanged looks before looking at her.
What was going on? After an encounter at the restaurant yesterday, she showed up at my house today with flowers and started apologizing.
Though she sounded and acted innocent, her words didn’t sit well with me.
She said she heard that Grandma Mira got into an accident. How did she know about it when Quinn didn’t tell her?
It sparked my suspicion more as the possibility that she was the one who paid the driver to hit Grandma Mira was glaring
Quinn squeezed his face in a frown but he didn’t say anything. At this point, I needed no one to tell me that they were not on good terms. Something was going on but they were trying to mask it and act all lovey–dovey.
Grandma Mira collected the flowers from Veronica and Ivy served her a plate of the icecream.
The presence of the two people made me uncomfortable in my own home and I felt the urge to leave so bad but I couldn’t leave Grandma Mira alone with them
I don’t trust Terry enough to comport himself with these two in the space house with him. So I sat back and gritted my teeth as discretely as I could. “Hello Ana, I’m so sorry for the accident and I’m glad she survived it. Veronica finally spoke to me and her words were interpreted into something
I heard “Im so sorry for the accident and you should be grateful she survived it, this is my warning.” I gritted my teeth further and got up from the
“I think it’s time you both leave. Grandma Mira needs to rest now and she appreciates your kind gestures” I said and Terry supported me as usual. “But I’ve barely had a late Veronica poured sadly and Terry offered to pack it for her just so they could leave.
Quinn’s face held irritation but Veronica was his problem to sort out.
