Chapter 359
Ann could hardly believe her eyes. Was this really happening?
Owen Quinten.
The Owen Quinten!
Even Amanda looked stunned, her voice trembling with disbelief. “Ann, which Mr. Quinten are you talking about p>
She knew-everyone knew there weren’t many people back home worthy of being called Mr. Quinten.
But still, like Ann, she couldn’t quite wrap her mind around it.
And who could blame her? Mr. Quinten was practically untouchable.
There was that story from years ago—a wealthy businessman in Broadshore City had offered a million pounds just to have Mr. Quinten name his newborn child, and Mr. Quinten had turned him down flat.
But now?
Her own daughter was telling her that Mr. Quinten had followed her online!
Ann went on, her voice bubbling with excitement. “It’s Owen Quinten, the giant of calligraphy! Mr. Quinten! We even have one of his pieces hanging in the living room, remember p>
Keira had always admired Owen Quinten’s ink work and had once spent four million at an auction to win a piece of his. Just four characters: “Grace Flows Like Water.” That’s how Owen Quinten’s reputation for priceless calligraphy came about-every stroke worth its weight in gold.
If Keira ever found out that the idol she’d admired for years now called her own granddaughter his “little lifesaver” and had followed her online, she’d probably faint from shock.
After all, this was something even her precious Caitlin could never dream of. In all of Eldermere, Ann was probably the only one who could claim such an honor.
The thought made Ann glow with pride.
Caitlin didn’t stand a chance. She couldn’t even measure up to Ann’s little toe.
Amanda, still reeling, asked, “Ann, are you sure it isn’t a fake account? There are so many imposters online these days p>
Ann laughed. “Of course not! Look, right here-officially verified! And I’m the very first person Mr. Quinten followed p>
Amanda immediately leaned over to see for herself. Sure enough, the account following Ann was truly verified.
Amanda felt her breath catch in her chest. “Ann, you’re making your mother so proud I can hardly stand it p>
Ann could barely contain her own excitement. “Told you it wasn’t a fake, Mom p>
“I need to reply to Mr. Quinten’s message right now,” Ann said, already opening her phone.
“Absolutely, take care of that first!” Amanda nodded, urging her on. “Go answer Mr. Quinten p>
Ann clicked into her messages and started to type:
[Mr. Quinten, I never imagined you’d find me so quickly. It was only a small thing
-I never expected you to remember it all this time p>
It was the perfect reply-modest, polite, and just right.
Sure enough, on the other end, Owen Quinten read her words with a heartfelt sigh. “She’s still as humble
and unworldly as ever my little lifesaver.
Anyone else, upon realizing they’d caught the attention of Owen
Quinten, would be beside
vel
themselves with excitement. But not her. She remained calm as ever
Owen Quinten typed his response:
[Little Lifesaver, are you living in Silverhaven? Once I return to the country, I must visit you in person p>
“Ahhh!” Ann let out a piercing squeal as soon as she read his reply.
“What is it, Ann?” Amanda asked, alarmed. “Did Mr. Quinten say something else p>
Ann could barely get the words out. “Mom! Mom! Mr. Quinten says he wants to visit me p>
He wanted to visit. That meant, in Owen Quinten’s eyes, she was truly important.
“Are you serious?” Amanda gasped, crowding closer.
“Of course! See for yourself!” Ann shoved her phone toward her mother.
The moment Amanda read the
message, she was just as
overwhelmed. “Ann, you’re
incredible! Not just in the
Capital-no, in all of Eldermere,
you’re the first p>
