The two of them looked at each other and couldn’t help but sigh. It’s been just a little while since graduation, and such a thing has happened, leaving one lanting.
"By the way, did you see the news about Lyra Grant’s father?" Alice Conley asked.
"I saw it," Mabel Quinn replied.
"I don’t know how Lyra Grant is doing; there’s no news about her now. Her family is in trouble, and I heard that so people who usually have a good relationship with her are eager to distance themselves from her. Sotis, thinking about it, people can really be very pragmatic," Alice paused and then looked at Mabel, "Mabel, what do you think will happen to us in the future?"
Perhaps it was what Evelyn said earlier that prompted this question from her.
Mabel Quinn smiled, looking at her friend in front of her, "Friends for life."
Alice Conley’s eyes reddened slightly, "Yes, friends for life!"

Mabel Quinn not only saw people discussing the Grant family’s situation in the college group chat, but also many colleagues at the Corporation were talking about it. However, just a few days later, news broke out that Lyra Grant underwent an abortion at a small Hospital, and soone even photographed the bill for her procedure and her entering the Hospital.
Due to the connection with the film "Sound of the Wind," this scandalous news about Lyra Grant naturally attracted a lot of attention, and Soren, as Lyra’s ex-boyfriend, was naturally the pri suspect as the child’s father.
So Soren made a statent online, claiming he had already broken up with Lyra Grant, and that the child in Lyra’s belly wasn’t his.
His statent, although it cleared his own na, put Lyra Grant in an even worse position.
Reading Soren’s words online, Mabel Quinn felt that perhaps it wasn’t a bad thing that she never started anything with Soren. Soren ultimately isn’t a man she could rely on.
Only in face of real issues can one find out how deep this person’s feelings for you truly are.
After work, it wasn’t the Driver who picked her up today, but Kyle Kinston.
"What do you feel like eating tonight?" Kyle Kinston asked.
"Well... before dinner, could you co with to the art market?" Mabel Quinn said.
Kyle slightly raised an eyebrow, "Are you going there to buy sothing?"
"Yeah. Earlier, I accidentally stepped on soone’s painting, leaving a footprint. Since I couldn’t replace it with an identical one, I’m buying a painting to compensate them," she replied.
He smiled slightly and drove the car toward the direction of the art market.
Mabel Quinn had never browsed this place before, so walking around with Kyle felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. It was srizing, with various types of paintings, the prices differing greatly—from tens of thousands to just ten dollars each for so paintings.
When she saw one particular painting, Mabel couldn’t help but stop. It depicted a scene in a field: a young boy was carrying a little girl on his back, walking beneath the bright sunshine. The girl’s head rested sleepily on the boy’s back.
For so inexplicable reason, this painting gave off a warm feeling. It also reminded her of a painting she saw at Han Yuan.
That painting felt overly oppressive, with the young boy and girl in a storm, as if they might collapse at any ti, like being engulfed by the darkness.
Looking at it gave one a heavy feeling.
But this painting before her seed to have sunshine dispelling all storms.
