"My dad also ntioned inviting you to a al soti to properly thank you. You are truly a lifesaver for our family." Alice Conley lowered her voice, afraid that Kyle Kinston might overhear and it wouldn’t be appropriate.
Fortunately, at that mont, Kyle Kinston and Dorian Howards were talking on the other side, so they couldn’t catch their conversation.
Mabel Quinn said, "Actually, this ti, I had already lost hope. Luckily, in the end, Kyle relented." After a pause, she added, "Your father doesn’t really need to thank . If he’s really sincere, then... maybe he should offer so incense to Kyle’s parents."
"Yes, my dad ntioned it to my mom too, saying that from now on during Qingming and Winter Solstice, he would offer incense at ho. My dad owes them too much. If it weren’t for them back then, my dad’s life would have been gone long ago." Alice said. The day her father returned, their family talked for a long ti. Her father originally wanted to go to Falling City personally to offer incense and apologize to Kyle’s parents, but he was afraid it might anger Mr. Kinston, so they finally did it at ho.
And her father knelt in front of the incense table for a long, long ti. Two lives were lost due to her father’s selfishness. This sin, she knew her father could never atone for; it was a burden he would carry for life.
And her father’s guilt would surely always be there, and even their whole family would feel guilt over it. At this mont, Alice sincerely wished that if there was an afterlife, Kyle’s parents could be together again... in the next life, they wouldn’t miss out.
After talking about her own family matters, Alice changed the topic, "By the way, you returned to Falling City this ti to prepare for the wedding, right? Have you prepared for the wedding day?"
Mabel Quinn smiled awkwardly, "Well... actually, Kyle and I already registered and got married in Falling City."
"What?" Alice widened her eyes in surprise, completely in shock, "You... you’ve already... registered and got married?"
Not far away, Dorian Howards, who was chatting with Kyle Kinston, was startled by his wife’s voice. After understanding what his wife said, he also looked at his friend in disbelief, "You got registered?"
"Is this sothing so surprising?" Kyle Kinston replied with a faint smile, "Shouldn’t you be the one most aware that I would marry Mabel?"
He did know that Kyle would definitely be with Mabel Quinn, but the registration... it was so fast, without any signs before. He originally thought that they would register a few months later.
Mabel Quinn, on her side, said to Alice Conley, "Yes, we registered. The wedding will probably be in two months, but by then... we might not be able to invite your father."
"Yes, I understand." Alice smiled, "Fortunately, your wedding isn’t during my recovery after childbirth. By then, um... the baby will be about 8 months old, and as soon as you get married, you’ll have a ready-made godmother."
Mabel Quinn also smiled, filled with anticipation for the child in Alice’s belly. In this life, she couldn’t experience the joy of giving birth, but she hoped Alice’s child could be born healthy and safe.
After having dinner, Alice Conley dragged Mabel Quinn to continue chatting about their girl talk. She had too much bottled up inside these two days and wanted to share it with her friend.
