He closed his eyes and rested his head on her shoulder. Yes, there really was sothing urgent, which is why he rushed back to Falling City. He gave Caleb a photo of Alice’s father to look at. Back then, Caleb was one of the people who had seen the fiancé.
And Caleb recognized at a glance that Alice’s father was indeed the fiancé of his mother.
"How could it be, how could this person still be alive?" Caleb shouted in disbelief when he saw the photo of Alice’s father.
He also really wanted to know why soone who was supposed to be dead was still alive! But perhaps only Alice’s father could give him that answer.
"Hmm, today Francine Howards ca to see and talked about so past events related to my parents, so I returned to Falling City to ask Caleb." Kyle Kinston murmured.
But because of Alice’s father’s identity, he was still cautious and hadn’t told her the truth. He still needed to confront Alice’s father to find out everything.
Mabel Quinn was taken aback. Did Francine co to him to talk about his parents? Is that why he left like that... At that mont, the feeling of unease in her heart disappeared.
Although he rarely talked about his parents and seed indifferent, she knew very well how much his parents’ matters affected him.
"Since it’s all past now, perhaps letting so past events go will make things better. If there’s anything you don’t want to keep inside, you can talk to ." She comforted him softly, not wanting his parents’ issues to be a constant shadow in his life.
Have they gone away... He used to think it was over, but unexpectedly... that man was still alive! Things hadn’t ended!
"Mabel, am I the most important person to you?" he asked softly.
"Yes, of course, you are the most important person to ." Unconsciously, she had placed him at the forefront of her life.
"That’s good... that’s good..." he murmured, gently pressing his lips against hers.
After confirming that his mother’s fiancé was still alive, he felt an indescribable sadness. Upon leaving the Kinston Family, he went to his parents’ graves, burning Alice’s father’s photo along with other discovered information at their gravesite.
Why did they die? If it was just because soone died in an explosion and then his mother harbored endless resentnt towards his father and chose death, and his father also chose death, then this reason is simply ridiculous and sad.
If his parents could know from the afterlife, wouldn’t they also find it ridiculous?
"I... will marry Mabel, and we will grow old together, love each other for a lifeti. We won’t be like you, definitely not!" he vowed in front of his parents’ graves.
At this mont, he looked at the person before him with his phoenix eyes, "Mabel, tell , how much do you love ..."
"Very much, very much..." she replied.
"Love , for a lifeti, no matter what happens in the future, don’t leave ..." he said.

The next morning, when Mabel Quinn woke up, Kyle Kinston was already getting dressed.
"Not sleeping a bit longer?" she asked.
Mabel shook her head and suddenly rembered sothing, "Is your injury okay?"
"It’s nothing," he said. "I have to go to the Corporation today to handle so things. I might not be back for dinner; I’ll call you then."
"Okay." She responded, quickly getting herself dressed, and then walked over to him, saying, "Let help you since one of your hands is not very convenient."
"Alright." He smiled slightly, allowing her to button his shirt, one button at a ti. Then she took out a tie from the closet, and he leaned down, making it easier for her to put the tie around his neck.
Mabel quickly tied the tie, looking quite satisfied, and finally helped him put on his suit jacket.
"All done." She said at last, just about to step back when he encircled her waist with one hand, pulling her into his embrace. Then he lowered his head to plant a kiss on her forehead, "Sorry for leaving so abruptly yesterday, it must have worried you."
"It’s alright." Mabel shook her head. "But, about your parents’ matters, is it really okay?"
He smiled faintly, a light flickering in his eyes, "It’s already fine." Because everything that needed to be verified had been, now he just needed to get an answer from that person.
After leaving the Kinston residence, once Kyle got into the car, he said to Caleb, "When I leave the Corporation this afternoon, don’t head straight back to the residence. I need to go sowhere to find soone, and you don’t need to follow."
"Alright, Elder Kinston." Caleb responded.
...
Dorian Howards found his cousin and asked what it was about yesterday that she had Kyle go out for, to which Francine Howards replied, "If you really want to know, wouldn’t it be faster for you to ask Kyle directly?"
"..." He just couldn’t ask. Dorian thought of how he called Kyle last night, but Kyle only told him three words, "Don’t ask."
So, he couldn’t find out anything.
And now, clearly his cousin didn’t intend to tell him anything either.
"Dorian, I’ll just say one thing, while you’re still not married." Francine smiled, with a hint of malice, "Alice’s family has a massive trouble brewing. You should separate from her, or else you might also end up unlucky, and you’ll have to deal with a lot then."
