Alexander slouched against the wall, the sunlight making his pale face almost see-through.
After a beat, he struggled to say, "I get it. I'll take care of her. Even if you never forgive me, I'll treat her like..." He tried to finish, but Quinn's words about the two unwanted kids stopped him cold.
Locking eyes with Quinn, he said, "I'll make sure she grows up safe and sound, just like any other kid." His words made Quinn's eyes fill with tears.

When she first showed him the pregnancy test, she had dreamed of hearing these words from him, imagining a happy family of three.
But now, hearing these words about a child that wasn't even theirs, it felt like a cruel joke.
It was ironic and sad.
They couldn't just abandon another innocent kid because of those two.
So, by adopting this child, every the played the role of a father, he'd be haunted by guilt and regret, tortured by his past mistakes. When it cto kids, he always messed up.
Since he adopted this child, he should carry that weight himself.
Quinn blinked back her tears and turned to Alexander.
"Alexander, have you noticed how cold you are?" she asked.
Alexander's face was unreadable, and he stayed silent.

She smirked, "You don't really want to adopt this kid. I don't see any fatherly kindness in your eyes, just practicality." Alexander stayed quiet.
After a moment, he reached out and took Quinn's hand, admitting, "I won't deny it. You're right about everything. I'm not into kids, whether it's this one or our own. To me, anything that can't keep you withis pointless." Quinn was stunned, staring at Alexander in shock.
"I can't even keep you, and I can't win you back. Do you think have any e energy left for anyone else?"
He moved closer to Quinn, his deep eyes filled with a wild intensity as he Rinda said, "Quinn, I'm not as kind as you. I admit I'm cold and can't care for anyone equally." He declared, "All I want is you."
He said each word slowly, "My heart is only for you, completely taken by you, leaving no room for anyone else. These past two years, you've been like a poison in my mind. Every day without you, it just builds up more and more. The moment I saw you again, I had no idea what to do. I wished someone could tellthe right answer, but there was no one. I just kept screwing up. I even thought about dying to make up for my sins." When Quinn heard that last part, her eyes flickered.
