Is it that he doesn’t dare? Does he not want her to know his cruelty, his darkness, his disgrace... Are there so things she is better off never knowing?
After returning from K City, Mabel Quinn was once again passionately desired by Kyle Kinston, as if he were an extrely thirsty man, constantly needing more, as if it was never enough.
In the end, her mory almost blacked out, only vaguely rembering his voice lingering in her ears when she passed out, "Mabel, never despise ... okay?"
Despise? How could she possibly disdain him, especially since there was nothing about him that made her feel that way.
When she woke up, Mabel Quinn thought about those words, just smiled quietly to herself, figuring she must have misheard.
As Alice Conley’s wedding day approached, the Conley family beca increasingly busy because after the wedding, Alice would move to Dorian Howards’s villa. Therefore, so of her belongings were being moved there gradually as well.
Mabel Quinn also accompanied the wedding photoshoot for Alice and Dorian, though her help basically consisted of chatting with her friend and occasionally minding the restroom, or lending a hand now and then, since Alice was pregnant and needed to be more cautious.
Both Alice’s father and mother tagged along, leaving Alice feeling both amused and exasperated, likening herself to a panda.
"You really are like a panda now," Mabel Quinn said with a smile.
While Alice and Dorian posed for their photos, Mabel Quinn sat on a nearby bench with Alice’s parents, watching.
Alice’s father frequently glanced at Mabel Quinn, and not only did she notice, but even Alice’s mother did, prompting her to ask her husband, "Why do you keep looking at Mabel? Do you have sothing to say to her?"
"Huh? No... nothing!" Alice’s father quickly replied, then added, "I... I just wanted to ask Mabel, how is Mr. Kinston doing?"
"He’s okay, I guess. He was injured before, but the wound is gradually healing, and by Alice’s wedding, he should be fine," Mabel Quinn said, assuming Alice’s father was concerned about Kyle being the best man.
"Really? That’s good... that’s good..." Alice’s father murmured, his head down, giving off a sowhat neurotic vibe.
Alice’s mother said to Mabel Quinn, "Don’t mind him; he’s been like this for days now, probably because his daughter is getting married, so he’s acting a bit oddly."
Mabel Quinn smiled, wondering what her foster father would be like if he were still alive when she got married.
When Alice’s mother went to the restroom, Alice’s father again asked Mabel Quinn, "Has Mr. Kinston ever ntioned to you?"
"No, why?" Mabel Quinn shook her head, "Is there sothing between you and Kyle, Uncle?"
"Ah, no!" Alice’s father almost jumped out of his seat reflexively, his face turning pale.
This reaction... was almost like an overreaction! Mabel Quinn looked at Alice’s father in surprise, and he too seed to realize his response was too extre, so he quickly said, "Don’t mind , I’ve just not been sleeping well these days, so I’m a bit jumpy. I’m going to wash my face." With that, he hurriedly left.
