Dorian Howards seed rather indifferent as he said, "It’s nothing, just a business loss on the Corporation’s side. It’s not a big deal originally, but my father-in-law thinks too much and takes the issue too seriously."
Although Dorian spoke lightly, Mabel Quinn imdiately guessed so of it, "Could the person who caused the Howards Group to lose business be Kyle?" Otherwise, why would Alice’s father suddenly leave?
Dorian did not answer, but his expression had already given Mabel the answer.
Alice Conley’s eyes brimd with tears again, and she said to Mabel, "Mabel, I know so things are too difficult for you. I also know it’s my father who wronged Mr. Jun’s parents, but after all, he is my father. Can you please..."
Alice bit her lip, montarily unable to continue.
Considering her friend, she shouldn’t make this request. Even the previous cold war between Mabel and Mr. Jun, and Mr. Jun moving to the Tavern, was because Mabel interceded for her father. But now, the friend in front of her was like her father’s final lifeline. Perhaps only Mr. Jun could agree not to pursue it further. Otherwise, even if they find her father this ti, what about next ti? For the sake of family, her father might still choose to leave.
"I’ll try again," Mabel took a deep breath and said. Even though she knew that it might be incredibly hard and perhaps wouldn’t succeed at all, she still had to try for Alice, just because... Alice was the one who helped her during her most difficult ti.
Alice’s face was filled with gratitude. After Dorian had Alice rest, he looked at Mabel and said, "Was Kyle okay yesterday? You didn’t have any argunts, did you?"
"No," she replied, a bit puzzled. "But why were you so insistent on being with Kyle yesterday? Did you know sothing was wrong with his health?" A mory of Kyle’s hidden illness resurfacing flashed through her mind.
"I just... thought that if you two rarely et these days, it might not be good for your relationship. I don’t want my father-in-law’s issue to affect your relationship with Kyle, so I suggested that. I hoped you could be more proactive, which might be good for your relationship," Dorian said rather uncomfortably.
Is it really just that? Mabel always felt it wasn’t that simple, but she couldn’t think of another explanation.
"If you talk to Kyle and still can’t persuade him, then don’t. Both Alice and I appreciate the effort, but what Kyle has been through is sothing we haven’t experienced," Dorian said.
So even if Kyle caused the Howards Group to lose business and forced Alice’s father to leave, Dorian didn’t bla him. Because he never experienced that pain, he had no right to say anything.
Mabel lowered her head and softly said, "Mm, I know. In fact, in this matter, the person who suffers the most is him."
It’s precisely because she understands his pain and suffering that so words beco even harder to say.
