Chapter 165- Don’t hold it in all the time

Quinn found Cynthia's far-fetched excuse both amusing and exasperating. Without saying much, he gently pulled her into his arms and said coolly: 

"Cry if you want. Don't hold it in all the time." 

Though he hadn't spent much time with her, he could already see her stubborn and strong-willed nature. She always forced herself to appear invincible and composed in front of others, hiding her vulnerability beneath a facade of strength. 

Cynthia was deeply moved by his sudden tenderness, and her tears flowed even more uncontrollably. Nestled in his embrace, she began to speak whatever came to her mind, not caring whether he could fully understand. All she needed now was someone to listen. 

She had originally intended to call Bonnie or VivianNancy, but halfway through, she realized her phone was gone. It had been smashed earlier in his office during their argument.
