She stared at him in astonishnt, "Daniel Harris, you—"
But he had already taken a step closer, his fingers pressed against her lips, stopping her from speaking further, "You said you would only love one person in your life, and besides that person, you wouldn’t fall in love with anyone else. So I want to know, since there is no future with that person anymore, will you still insist on only loving that person for the rest of your life?"
His words left her with mixed emotions, unable to find the right words to say.
And he continued, "I also said that in my life, I only love one person. From the age of 15, when a little girl showed all the beauty of the world, I fell in love with her. Even if I didn’t know what she looked like, even if at that ti she was just a child, that feeling was already there. After eting you again, this feeling remains. But back then, I chose to trust reason and ignored this feeling. But now, I will not ignore it anymore. I’ve missed too much already, Mabel, I don’t want to miss out anymore. I want to make sure this ti, there are no regrets."
Mabel Quinn took a deep breath, pulling Daniel Harris’s hand down and said, "But if you keep insisting like this, in the end, it’ll only hurt you more. This love has exhausted all my strength, and I don’t want to fall in love again."
"That’s why it’s a gamble." He smiled, a light-hearted, breezy smile, "Gambling on whether you can still love again." And he was using his whole life as the bet!
For him, this might be the biggest gamble of his life.

When Mabel Quinn arrived at the studio, it was already past 10 in the morning. Many colleagues in the studio knew that she had taken a few days off to attend a funeral at the Quinn Family’s main residence, so they showed concern with a few questions.
Only Indigo Quigley suddenly sneered, "Ha, don’t think she’s so kind-hearted. Soone isn’t truly mourning, she’s just unwilling to part with her dowry. Previously, the old lady of the Quinn Family had said she would give her a dowry when she married Kyle Kinston, but now the old lady is gone, and it doesn’t seem like anyone’s really married!"
Indigo Quigley and Alessia Quinn were in the sa social circle, so these gossipy stories about the Quinn Family naturally reached her through Alessia. Back then, when Alessia told her about the old lady wanting to give Mabel a dowry, she spoke with such gritted teeth!
In Alessia’s view, giving Mabel a dowry ant there would be less for her in the future, as if Alessia was stealing sothing originally ant for her.
After hearing Indigo Quigley’s words, Alice Conley naturally jumped up, "Indigo Quigley, what you’re saying is too much. You think everyone is like you, always only caring about money."
"What did you say?!" Indigo Quigley retorted unhappily, and as the two were about to argue, Mabel Quinn stood beside Alice Conley, saying to Indigo Quigley, "The affairs of the Quinn Family aren’t for you to criticize. If you really have the guts, why not let inform my uncle of everything you said today? By the way, my uncle’s na is Edward Quinn, and I suppose your father knows him, right? I heard your family has so business dealings with the Quinn Family. Let’s see what my uncle would say then."
