Chapter 179 They Are Not Ugly

For a moment, Quinn couldn’t take her eyes off his face. His lashes trembled as he looked up at her, eyes dark and filled with longing.

“Quinnie, are you… going to do something to me?”

His lips were slightly wet, completely irresistible. Indeed, she did want to do something to him.
