The Billionaire's Cursed Heiress
Chapter 33: DECEPTION

Chapter 33: Chapter 33: DECEPTION

"Before the time comes, I just want to see the world. Besides, I had a dream. I saw a fairy who told me that as long as I venture outside, I might get lucky. Hehe, who knows if I might get lucky? I just want to try my chances," she shrugged her shoulders as she said this.

It couldn’t be considered a lie, though. Only by travelling and picking what she was sent to pick would she have a chance to survive.

Quinn looked at Zara, completely disbelieving what she had said. After growing up with her, how could he not know that he had been had?

However, even if he knew, and she knew about it, what else could he do? Force her to spill the truth. That was something that he wasn’t brave enough to do.

Since she didn’t want to tell him the truth, then he might as well just wait patiently until she was ready.

So, with a smile on his face, he took her gloved hands in his and said softly, "I will accompany you wherever you go. Always know that," with a solemn promise.

Zara blinked her huge eyes at him, which were sparkling as she was feeling touched.

"Um. I will always remember it."

Shortly after that, Quinn changed the topic and began to tell Zara about some places that he had gone. He showed her videos and photos, and that made her very happy.

The two had a great time until Emma and Ava came to disturb their peace.

"It’s time for the princess to eat her dinner. After dinner, she would have to sleep. She didn’t take an afternoon nap today!" Emma informed Quinn, whose face was so dark after the intrusion.

Quinn looked at Zara and then at the two women. In the end, he gave up. He couldn’t be selfish. There were still many days ahead and what Zara truly needed was a rest.

"Okay. I will come and see her tomorrow," he acquiesced to their request as he looked at the two.

"Thank you for your understanding!" Emma was very relieved upon hearing that.

Quinn turned to look at Zara, whose eyes were slowly turning red due to sleepiness.

"I am going now. You better listen to Auntie Emma and Ava, okay?"

"Um." Zara drowsily grunted as she looked at Quinn.

Quinn carefully and lovingly rubbed Zara’s hair before he stood up.

"Good bye Quinn!" she softly said as she forced a smile on her face.

"Nightie, dear!"

With that, Quinn left the bedroom, leaving the three alone.

Zara by now was just feeling drowsy and wanted to sleep, but she knew pretty well that sleeping without eating was a big NO.

So, under both Emma and Ava’s watchful eyes, she ate her porridge with difficulty. After filling her stomach with some warm food, Ava took Zara for a bath and wiped her body thoroughly.

Zara was brought back to the bedroom where several body lotions were taken out. Zara helplessly watched as layer after layer was applied to her body.

When that process finished, a soft adult pamper was put on her and a cotton nightdress. Zara was then tucked into her bed before Ava started connecting her to the machines.

It was another tedious process, but it was something that they couldn’t skip.

By the time everything was done, Zara was already in dreamland, snoring softly with only her head showing as her whole body was buried in the blankets.

The two ladies, seeing their miss sleeping soundly, quietly left the bedroom only to find the young master waiting for them.

"We need to talk!"

The two could only helplessly follow the young man that they once raised at some point but now feared to cross.

Between their master and this young master, they all feared the young master. He was simply too serious and unwavering when it came to the fifth miss.

The two went to the study, which was on the third floor. The third floor had two main bedrooms, a huge study and a balcony.

Quinn was occupying the other bedroom while the other was given to Zara.

He wanted to be that close to her. As for the nurse and nanny, those two would be staying on the second floor.

After taking their seats, the two ladies waited for Quinn to state the reason why they were all gathered together.

"I won’t keep you for long. I know that you are tired from the long journey," Quinn spoke gently as he looked at the two women who had been loyal from day one and never allowed a single fly to hurt his princess.

"I just want to know if she had said anything!" he stated as he looked seriously at the two.

"Anything as in what exactly?" Emma puzzledly asked as she looked at him.

"The real reason why we are all on the road. Or how she suddenly got better. Did someone give her anything? Do you know what’s happening?"

When Quinn bombarded the two with questions, the two sighed helplessly as they thought of how they were in the dark.

They also thought that the person who might know what was happening would be the young master. But now, hearing that the other knew nothing, how were they supposed to know anything?

Emma shook her head as she sighed helplessly.

"I am afraid that our answer will disappoint you. The young miss didn’t tell us anything. We also thought that you knew what was happening!" Emma said as she looked at Quinn truthfully.

Quinn’s eyes narrowed as he observed the two ladies but after a moment, he sorted his thoughts out.

"Okay. You may go and rest!" since they didn’t have what he wanted; he might as well let them rest early.

Tomorrow would be a long day, and he wanted them to be in perfect condition before serving his princess.

"Thank you, young master."

"Have a good night!"

The two hurriedly left the study and sighed with relief after leaving.

They didn’t say anything but hurriedly made their way to the second floor.

In the study, Quinn had a complicated expression on his face as he tapped the desk rhythmically.

"Dear, just what are you hiding from us, exactly?"
