Chapter 375 A Long Game
A few days later, Johnathan found an opportunity to speak with Quinn.
“Having Dora follow you around every day isn’t a long–term solution,” he said. “If she doesn’t want to go to preschool, let her stay home. I’ve found two reliable people–they can move in with you and help take care of her. It’ll take the pressure off you, and Dora won’t have to be dragged around all the time.”
Quinn was caught off guard at first, then seemed touched. “Thank you, but it’s really not necessary.”
“She’s finally not afraid of people anymore–I don’t want her to regress. The two people I found are women with backgrounds in psychology. They’ll be good for her. Dora deserves to grow up in Ja stable environment–not like this.”
Johnathan’s words left Quinn with no room to argue. In the end, she simply nodded and added, casually, “You’ve changed a lot. Very thoughtful now.”
The old Johnathan would never have considered this sort of thing.
Johnathan replied offhandedly, “It’s all thanks to your sister–in–law. She’s worried about Dora, and that made me pay more attention too.”
That comment left Quinn feeling uneasy–but also slightly relieved.
She’d worried Johnathan might be suspicious, suddenly wanting to plant people in her house. But if he was only doing it for Sierra, then maybe it wasn’t so bad.
Still, having extra people around was inconvenient. She’d have to be more careful.
Not that she was too concerned. She had her ways of making contact when she needed to.
For Johnathan, the main purpose of this arrangement was to ensure Dora’s safety. He wasn’t expecting to catch Quinn in the act.
If Quinn really was what he suspected, then she’d hidden her true self extremely well.
That same day, Johnathan sent the two women to live at Quinn’s and help care for Dora. When Dora learned they were sent by him, she didn’t resist in fact, that night, she secretly called Sierra in a video chat. Though she said nothing, Sierra could tell she was genuinely happy.
Sierra read her a bedtime story before hanging up, her expression growing serious.
“Johnathan, I really think something’s wrong with Quinn.”
Dora hadn’t said anything directly, but her behavior made it obvious.
She wasn’t afraid of the strangers–in fact, she was happy they were there, especially knowing they were sent by Johnathan and Sierra.
