Chapter 564 Confessions and Dilemmas Quinn's eyes locked onto hers, and as they stared at each other, Chloe didn't look away. She looked confused, unsure of what he wanted to say. After a long silence, it was Quinn who finally gave in.
"Chloe, is there nothing you want to tell me?" After Chloe and Michael had left earlier, he had been standing with Jessica and Candy when Candy accidentally let something slip, so now he knew everything. That was why, after dropping Jessica off, he rushed back here. He even ran up the stairs.
Chloe hesitated, suddenly remembering that she had planned to tell him about her plans to leave the country after the fireworks display.
But with everything that happened, she had forgotten entirely.

I was the last one on the team to find out." Chloe blinked. "Uh... actually, Jessica was the last to know." She hadn't planned to tell Jessica at all.
Quinn sighed in exasperation. "Chloe, have you never consideredas one of your own?" "Of course not!" Chloe grew a bit agitated. She hadn't told him because she didn't know how to say it.
Although her plans to leave the country were set, whether she would return or when was still undecided. And now that Chloe knew about his feelings for her, she was even more at a loss for how to bring it up. They both fell into silence, the air between them heavy.
Chloe took a deep breath to gather her thoughts, then spoke first, "Quinn, it was wrong ofnot to tell you sooner, and I apologize for that. But you and Candy have always been my closest friends, my support system!" "I admitted to myself that sometimes, people take their closest friends for granted.
When you open up completely to someone, it's easy to start assuming that they'll always understand and tolerate you simply because you believe they'll never leave.
It wasn't a good habit, but it's something that happens in relationships. Though it was never my intention," Chloe thought.
Now that she was aware of it, Chloe wanted to correct it immediately.
But then Quinn interrupted her, "But I don't want to be just your friend." Chloe's breath caught, and she looked at him in surprise.
Quinn looked into her eyes again. "Chloe, I like you. I've never wanted to just be friends with you!" Now that the truth was out, Chloe found herself at a loss.
She rubbed her hands together on her lap, an awkward smile on her face. "Quinn, don't joke around. We've known each other for so long, how could..." "I've liked you since the first twe met. You think we've been friends for a long time, but for me, it's been a long tof secretly loving you." Chloe opened her mouth, but no words cout.

That's why I worked so hard to improve myself, so I could be worthy of you." Quinn was speaking more than he ever had before, but he wasn't done yet. "But by the tI cback, you were already married. If you had been happy, I would have sincerely wished you well. But you weren't happy-your marriage was a mess. So I stayed by your side, thinking I would confess my feelings after you got divorced." Quinn thought, "I had waited and waited until she and Michael finally finalized their divorce, but every tI tried to confess, something stopped me.
It was either work or the fact that she was suddenly pregnant with m Michael's child. Then Rachel cinto the picture, and Chloe mistakenly thought I was dating someone else. Each time, I had to postpone my confession.
I had planned to confess at the fireworks display tonight, but then Michael showed up, and after that, there was the accident. Once again, I buried his feelings.
I kept telling myself there would be another chance, and next time, I would definitely confess.
But before the next opportunity arose, I found out she was leaving the country.
I couldn't wait any longer!"
Quinn stood up from the couch and looked at Chloe earnestly. "Chloe really like you, please givea chance. I'll work hard to make you happy."
