"It’s nothing," Kyle Kinston said faintly, lifting his foot again and walking forward.
It wasn’t until the group entered a private room next door that Daniel Harris whispered, "They’re already in the room." Mabel Quinn let out a long breath, stepping out from behind Daniel Harris.
"Are you avoiding Kyle?" Daniel Harris asked.
Mabel Quinn bit her lip slightly, "eting would be awkward for everyone, so this might be a better way. Thanks earlier."
He grabbed her arm, stopping her from leaving. "Mabel, have you really let go of Kyle?"
"That’s my private business." She tried to pull her arm back, but he didn’t let go; instead, he moved closer to her and said, "Since you and he have already broken up, don’t think about him anymore, and don’t care about him anymore, okay? Give a chance, a chance to properly protect you."
"Mr. Harris, thank you for your affection, but right now I don’t want to think about romantic matters at all. I just want to focus on my work, on figuring out how to live." Mabel Quinn said.
"You don’t want to think about it now, but what about in the future? Will you think about it then?" His eyes were fixed on her, "Mabel, I don’t care how many years I have to wait for you. I’ve waited ten years, and I can wait another ten years, or even longer."
Mabel Quinn looked at the person in front of her in a daze, those beautiful eyes like the stars in the night sky were so determined at this mont.
"Daniel Harris, don’t waste your ti on anymore," Mabel Quinn said, "I... told you on the mountain that I... will never fall in love with you. To , you are a childhood friend, a friend who faced life and death with , and the one who saved my life. I can do my best to repay you, but that repaynt does not include my feelings."
Daniel Harris said unwillingly, "Even now, do you still want to stick to what you said on the mountain? That you will only love one person in your life, but you’re already broken up with him, do you still plan to love him aninglessly?"
Mabel Quinn’s face turned pale, "I will... try my best to forget him." But in this lifeti, can she ever love soone else again?
This kind of deep love, it probably will never happen again.
She would try hard to take back the feelings she had for Kyle, but maybe in this lifeti, she really wouldn’t fall in love with anyone again.
At this mont, the two suddenly heard a commotion.
"Sir, if our family has any dowry intended for my daughter, why not let keep it?"
This voice was Evelina’s voice. Mabel Quinn was taken aback and almost instinctively walked toward the direction the voice was coming from.
Daniel Harris also quickly followed.
They saw Evelina blocking Edward Quinn in the corridor beside the banquet hall entrance.
Edward Quinn’s face looked stern and slightly impatient, "The dowry, I will personally hand it to Mabel."
Evelina beca anxious, "No, you can’t give it to her!"
Edward Quinn said displeasedly, "Why, the dowry prepared by the family—do I need you to decide whether it can be given?"
"No, no, I didn’t an it that way," Evelina quickly said, afraid of angering him. "I think this is also the family’s goodwill towards our late Asher. Pity I, the widow of the Quinn Family. But Mabel isn’t a child of the Quinn Family at all! She was just a child Asher picked up back then. What qualifications does she have to enjoy this great favor from the family? But my son Cecil Quinn, he’s the blood of the Quinn Family, the true flesh and blood of Asher! If you’re rembering Asher, why not give this dowry to Cecil? Soon, Cecil will be out of prison, and having been incarcerated, we don’t have the money. It’s even harder for him to get a wife..."
