At this mont, Mabel Quinn’s gaze fell upon the two morial tablets of "Easton Kinston" and "Regina Zeller." These were Kyle’s parents. All the disputes and grudges of those years no longer held any significance now.
Mabel stepped forward and bowed three tis to the tablets, "Uncle, Aunt loved you back then. Perhaps because her love was too deep, the misunderstandings beca deeper, eventually turning into what they did. But... there truly was love. Back then, Aunt once confessed her love for you by her fiancé’s sickbed, so you were not in love with soone who didn’t love you. The person you loved also loved you. I think if Aunt could choose again now, she would certainly choose to return to you and never leave."
These words, like a lingering thought, were directed at those who had long passed away.
"Aunt, I think you would definitely agree with what I’m saying, right?" she whispered softly.
The two tablets remained quietly in place.
anwhile, Kyle Kinston fixed his gaze on the person standing before the tablets, listening to her words, a complex gleam in his eyes.
Monts later, Mabel turned to Kyle and said, "Kyle, I won’t leave you. No matter what happens in the future, I won’t leave you." This was her promise to him.
Both she and he had suffered the pain of loved ones leaving, so they were perhaps the least willing to endure such pain again.
He took her hand and gently kissed her fingertips, "Okay, no matter what happens in the future, I won’t let you leave either."
Even if one day she wanted to escape from him, he would spare no ans to keep her by his side.
When they walked into the inner room, Mabel once again stood before the painting of Florence Kinston, gazing at the portrait of the bright-eyed, white-toothed young girl, with the crown symbolizing ultimate power at her feet.
But this ti, looking at the painting was far more shocking than before because she now knew the story behind it.
"Actually, she didn’t need to give up her life like that," Mabel said. "If she felt she trusted the wrong person, she could have ended it with the man who betrayed her heart and found soone worthy of her love. Dying for a heartless man was too undeserving." Previously, when she heard Kyle talk about Florence Kinston’s story, she felt that Florence must have been a ruthless woman; otherwise, she wouldn’t have had such ambition to want to beco the Empress.
"Find soone else to love?" Kyle’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile, "For so people in the Kinston Family, it’s simply impossible. Once they fall in love, there’s absolutely no changing it."
"Why?" she asked curiously.
"The Kinston Family doesn’t easily fall in love, but once they do, it’s a matter of life and death," he replied, without revealing the true reason.
She was stunned, feeling that the words "life and death" he spoke carried an indescribable sense of heroism and sorrow.
The last ti she ca here, she only saw a small part before he took her out. But this ti, with him by her side, she carefully examined the items placed in the room. He also explained the origins of these items and the stories of the Kinston ancestors. Curiously, though, he didn’t let her read so of the written records, saying it wasn’t ti yet, and that in due ti, he’d let her see them.
