"In that case, why were you holding , crying and kissing last night?" he said coldly.
She simply didn’t know where to hide her face. "Last night, I just accidentally got drunk. Don’t worry, since I’ve agreed to break up with you, I won’t cling to you anymore. I won’t resort to those dramatic crying, complaining, or threatening to kill myself. It really was just an accident this ti. If it caused any bad impact on you, I apologize. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now!" After saying this, she ignored her tousled hair from a night’s sleep and wrinkled clothes, and quickly left the room.
Staying any longer would only make her feel worse.
As for Kyle Kinston in the room, watching the figure that had disappeared, he felt as if his whole body was suddenly empty. What kind of answer was he hoping to get from her mouth? Even he wasn’t sure.

Mabel Quinn hurriedly left Kyle’s residence, and naturally, when she left, she saw the way the guards at the door were looking at her.
She knew that she probably looked quite disheveled at the mont. While waiting for the bus, she tidied her clothes a bit and casually ran her fingers through her hair, fixing it again. But looking like this, she figured it wasn’t suitable to go to work, so Mabel called Alice Conley, "Alice, I might co to the corporation a bit late today. Could you please ask for leave for from Brother Kuan?"
"Hmm, okay. Your granny was buried yesterday; maybe you should just take the day off and rest at ho," Alice suggested, assuming her friend needed the day off due to Granny Taylor’s passing.
"No need, I’ll go to work today," Mabel replied. "Being alone at ho makes it easier to overthink things."
Alice thought about it and agreed.
The bus dropped her near the city apartnt she rented. Mabel got off and headed toward her building, only to unexpectedly see Daniel Harris downstairs.
As soon as Daniel saw her, he quickly approached and said, "Mabel, you... are you okay?" His eyes were also carefully examining her.
Mabel shook her head, "I’m fine. What are you doing here?"
"I waited for you all night," Daniel said. "Last night, I saw you being taken into the car by Kyle Kinston... I..."
Daniel pressed his lips together, seeming unwilling to continue.
Mabel was slightly dazed. Since he waited here all night, he must have guessed that she spent the night at Kyle’s place.
"You don’t need to wait here all night again," Mabel said. The person in front of her was her childhood Isaac Zimrman, also the Crown Prince of the Harris Family.
In this city of J, who else could make the Crown Prince of the Harris Family wait all night? But the more he did, the heavier it made her chest feel.
After a pause, Mabel continued, "You’ve just recovered from a major illness. Waiting here all night, it’s exhausting and unnecessary."
He fixed his gaze on her and suddenly smiled gently, the smile like a gentle ripple spreading from the corner of his lips, "Mabel, why don’t we make a bet? Bet on how many tis you’ll fall in love in this lifeti."
