Chapter 323 Room for Fabian
Alexis had been working for the Quinnells for a long time despite still
being in his 30s.
His father had been Fabian’s secretary before him, and Alexis
reckoned Fabian was the only one in the family whom he would willingly serve. If it weren’t for Fabian,he would have left for other
jobs.
He had been approached by headhunters countless times, but he
always told them he would only consider their offers should his
services no longer be required by Fabian.
Now that Wynter was back, Alexis’ decision became clear.
“Ms. Quinnell reminds me a lot of you and Mrs. Quinnell Senior,” he
pointed out to Fabian. “She doesn’t discriminate and treats staffers
like us with decency.”
Fabian sighed when he heard this. “If only my health weren’t such ar
inconvenience to you all.”
“That’s not your fault, Mr. Quinnell!” Alexis quickly said. “I’m sure Ms.
Quinnell is a kind and fair employer.”
Wynter had no idea how she became the topic of conversation yet
again.
Fabian, on the other hand, was extremely proud as he said, “I like to think that I was as kind as herwhen I was in my prime.”
“The resemblance is uncanny,” Alexis agreed whole-heartedly. “Th

house will liven up after she moves in.”
Fabian beamed. “You’re right! Wynter, when are you and your
274
grandmother moving in with us? I’ve decorated your room, and I can’t wait for you to see it!”
Wynter didn’t want to disappoint Fabian, but she had to tell him the
truth. “Grandpa, the Empathy Clinic will be setting up a branch here in
Kingbourne.
“Since operating a branch out of your house won’t be practical, I’ve found a house with a courtyard forthat purpose.”
“Oh, will you look at the state of me,” Fabian said ruefully.
Not wanting to put Wynter on the spot, he added, “I’ve forgotten about
your plans for the Empathy Clinic. You’ll need a place to conduct your livestreaming too, and Margaretmight not be used to our place.
“A house with a courtyard sounds like the perfect place to set up branch, and I assume it’ll beaccessible to more people as well.”
As reasonable as Fabian sounded, Wynter could tell he was upset Fortunately, she had prepared forthis eventuality.
She didn’t tell him that her reasons for not moving into the Quinnell residence had to do with the conflictwithin the family, especially after she had read the information Wolf found on the Quinnells.
She had nothing against her so-called biological father, though she didn’t feel any affection for him.That being said, she didn’t like seeing Fabian upset either.
“Grandpa,” she began seriously, “the house I found has enough room for you. If you don’t mind, youcould move in with us.”

Fabian had been dejected until he heard this. Belatedly registering Wynter’s offer, he brightened upand repeated, “There’s room for me?”
Wynter nodded as if designating a room for him at her place was the most natural thing in the world.“Of course. It’s my dream to be able
to take care of you and Grandma.
“Your room is on the east side of the house, and I even got you a
rosewood table tea. It’s not as big or ornate as the
or your
one you have here, though.”
“I prefer small ones anyway!” Fabian exclaimed, worried that she might change her mind. “I’ll move inwith you. I hardly go anywhere else other than the company, but Alexis can drive me to work.”
Wynter grinned. “In that case, you can move in once I’ve decorated your room. Oh, and our meals areprobably simpler than what you’re
used to. You don’t mind, do you?”
“Of course not! What do you take me for?” Fabian tugged on her a I loved crashing with my friendswhenever I went on business tr and I loved having meals with them at home. The cabbage stew Ih
at one of their houses was a life-changer!”
Just like that, Wynter and Fabian continued their conversation in
earnest.
The entire Quinnell residence knew how happy Fabian was. He was in
such good spirits that he ate more than usual, especially with Wynte dining with him.
In the past, Fabian was always arguing with Shane. It didn’t help tha Naomi often dropped by withmedicinal food and bribed the
housekeeping staff into serving it to Fabian.
Money aside, it was impossible to get the food past Alexis, who guarded Fabian like a hound.
The staffers hadn’t seen Fabian so happy for a long while, and no one was as relieved as Alexis to seeFabian laugh. Wynter’s return to the Quinnell residence had indeed livened things up.
Meanwhile, in a manor somewhere in Kingbourne, a man glanced into the dimness as he toyed with hisbeaded bracelet and asked, “Has the matter of the Quinnells been settled?”
