Chapter 1296: Chapter 1335: We Can Never Meet Again
"Also, about Francine Howards, I’ve already asked about it. That night, due to some issues, my mind wasn’t clear. Coincidentally, she barged into the room and happened to faint. By the time she woke up, I was asleep, and just then, your call came in. She answered by coincidence. Nothing happened between us!" he continued to explain urgently.
"If you came to apologize or explain things between you and Francine Howards, then there’s no need," Mabel Quinn said. "Kyle Kinston, it’s impossible between us. Some feelings, once they’re gone, they’re gone. Just like between you and Francine Howards, what happened that night is no longer important to me."
"You don’t believe me?" His sharp eyes fixed tightly on her.
"Even if things are as you said, and coincidentally, I believe it, but so what?" she retorted.
His face suddenly turned pale, so to her, does the truth no longer matter? Whether or not he and Francine Howards had a relationship, it was already insignificant to her.
Or perhaps it should be said, he was already insignificant to her.
Kyle Kinston staggered slightly, and at this moment, Mabel Quinn reached out to remove his arms from around her and stepped out of his embrace. "I have something else to do, so I won’t chat with you any longer. I think there’s really nothing left for us to talk about. Goodbye."
Her farewell struck like a thunderclap, causing his pupils to suddenly constrict.
No! No goodbye!
The last time she said goodbye, he lost her for six whole years. Is he going to part with her again this time? Will he not see her again? Will he lose her again?
No! No way!
He suddenly stretched out his arm and at the moment she turned, he firmly grasped her hand.
Mabel Quinn paused in her steps and turned to look at Kyle Kinston in surprise. At this moment, she could clearly feel how much the hand holding hers was trembling.
Yet it held her so tightly, as if he was using all his strength to keep her.
Mabel Quinn frowned slightly, "You..."
"What if I don’t want to say goodbye? I know I’ve made so many mistakes, too many. I shouldn’t have doubted there was something between you and Daniel Harris, and I certainly shouldn’t have forced you to choose between your uncle... no, forced you to choose between your father’s life and your child back then. All the reasons you left me were my own fault. But I beg you, don’t leave me. I really love you, love you so deeply. If you leave me... I would die. So... you... still want to leave me?" His eyes were full of pleading, as if he had placed himself in the lowest and most humble position. He realized he had made too many mistakes, but now, ironically, he didn’t even know how to atone for the wrongs he had done.
Mabel Quinn paused for a moment, "You... are the Elder Kinston of Falling City. You won’t die so easily. Just like these six years, I wasn’t by your side, and didn’t you live well?"
His sharp eyes closed, and the hand holding hers, though trembling, gradually ceased its shaking. Mabel Quinn struggled to free her hand but couldn’t escape his grip.
"Kyle Kinston, let go first, will you? I really have something urgent," she said, biting her lip.
