Chapter 1440 Quinn eyed Alexander with suspicion. He'd just seen Calvin, and now he was acting all different.
She was sure it wasn't because of any threats; there had to be sother deal between them.
It was clear Alexander didn't want to talk, and pushing him was useless. If he didn't want to spill, she couldn't make him; asking wouldn't change a thing.
As long as Alexander was safe, she wouldn't press him.
After feeding Sprout, Alexander said, "You must be starving. Let's grab sfood." "But Abigail and I looked around all morning and didn't see any open restaurants," Quinn replied.
Holding Sprout in one arm and pulling Quinn with the other, Alexander said, "You just didn't find the right spot. Let's go." Quinn was indeed hungry. She hadn't eaten dinner last night, and when she went out to find something to eat, Calvin had kidnapped her. Calvin didn't even offer her a meal before letting her go. Alexander drove Quinn out. Without navigation, Quinn wouldn't recognize any of these roads.
At a traffic light, Quinn turned her head and saw Abigail outside. She was crossing the street in front of their car but didn't notice them.
Abigail seemed not to recognize Alexander's car.
"That's Abigail," Quinn said.
Alexander responded, "Ignore her." Abigail had already crossed the street. Wasn't she supposed to be getting food? What was she doing wandering around here? Quinn thought about texting Abigail but then saw Landon's shadow. She put her phone down.
Abigail had asked Landon out to apologize for what happened in the morning.

"Yeah, I did. I misunderstood you this morning. I'm sorry," Abigail said sincerely. Landon looked at her indifferently. "And then?" "What do you mean?" Abigail asked.
"You cto seelike this. Aren't you afraid I'll kidnap you?" Landon retorted.
Abigail wanted to roll her eyes. Previously, when Landon said he would kidnap her, he took her out to eat and locked her in a room. However, when she left, Landon didn't stop her. So, Landon never really intended to kidnap her.
"It won't do you any good, right? Let's just go eat instead," Abigail suggested.
"What do you want to eat?" Landon asked.
Abigail spoke, "What do you want to eat? Pick a place, and we'll go." She couldn't find a place to eat and was very hungry. Treating Landon to a meal was just an excuse. She needed to fill her stomach first.
Landon stared at her for a moment and then mercilessly exposed her. "You can't find a place to eat, can you?" Abigail felt a bit embarrassed and coughed unnaturally. "How could that be? I'm giving you the chance to choose." "I'm not picky. Anything will do," Landon said casually.
Abigail couldn't keep up the pretense. "Do you want to eat or not? If you do, lead the way. This is your only chance!" Landon sighed and turned to walk to the left. "Follow me." Abigail followed him confidently. After the fake gun incident last time, she was no longer afraid of him.
Now, he didn't seem to pose any threat to her.
Landon headed to a parking lot; they were going to drive.
Abigail sat in the car as Landon drove, clueless about their destination.
After about twenty minutes, they pulled up to a bustling street filled with shops and eateries. There was even a Mexican restaurant.
"Where is this? I didn't find this place in my research," Abigail asked.
"This is a local event. It's only open during holidays," Landon replied.
"I see," Abigail said.
As soon as Landon parked, she jumped out and bought a pack of sweets from the nearest shop. After wolfing down two pieces, she felt alive again. "Want some?" Abigail offered the box to Landon.
Landon turned his head away, refusing her sweets.
Abigail pouted and stuffed another sweet into her mouth.
The street was long and crowded, buzzing with activity.
Abigail bought sgrilled meat and two cups of coffee, picking up things as she walked. Eventually, her hands were full.
"Hold this for me," she said, shoving her purchases into Landon's arms. He instinctively raised his hands to catch them.
Abigail bought anything that looked good or fun, muttering, "This hat looks nice; I'll get one for Sprout. This burger is delicious; I'll pack one for Quinn." Landon watched her coldly, his arms full of her purchases.
She even bought something for Alexander but completely ignored Landon, who was helping her carry everything.

Abigail took a bite of a candy, found it too sweet, and put it back in the bag, in his arms. Let's see." placing it in "Aren't you supposed to be treatingto a meal?" Landon asked. Abigail was stunned. Looking back, she realized she had bought so much stuff, and Landon's face was livid.
She laughed awkwardly and said, "So, what do you want to eat?" Landon didn't say anything and just stared at her.
Abigail couldn't stand his gaze and randomly pointed to a shop across the street. "How about Mexican food?" Landon still didn't speak.
Abigail made the decision for him. "Alright, let's go with that." She grabbed his arm and pulled him into the restaurant. She was already full and was quite dismissive of Landon.
After sitting down, she handed the menu to Landon to choose.
She then sorted through the pile of things in front of her, discarding what she had eaten and organizing ti the rest into separate bags for food and toys. After finishing, she looked up at Landon. "Have you chosen?" Landon gazed at her quietly.
Clearly, he hadn't.
Abigail scratched her forehead with one finger, took the menu, called the owner, and randomly pointed to a few items.
"Alright, these will do," Abigail said to the waiter.
The waiter asked, "Did you order two of the sdish?" Abigail paused for a moment. "Yes! Just bring what I ordered!" She then smiled at Landon. "Don't worry. I won't make you pay."
As she spoke, she saw something outside from the corner of her eye. Her expression changed slightly, and she slid under the table. Landon frowned and looked back, only to see Quinn and Alexander outside.
