Mabel Quinn froze for a moment, looking at her father with some difficulty, afraid that her father might really have some conflict with Kyle Kinston. As for who she was worried about, her reason told her that it was naturally her father she was concerned for, fearing he might get hurt.
But... there was still a voice in her heart gently whispering to herself, did she really not worry about Kyle Kinston at all?
She didn’t know, or perhaps... she was somewhat reluctant to admit it.
Seeing his daughter’s worried expression, Edward Quinn said, "Don’t worry, Dad just hasn’t seen Mr. Kinston for many years, so I just want to chat casually. Standing at the Quinn Family’s door, could anything really happen?"
And Kyle Kinston also smiled and said, "That’s good, I also have quite a few things I want to say to my father-in-law, whether it’s said sooner or later, it needs to be said, so why not say it now."
In other words, he was actually telling Mabel Quinn that he and Edward Quinn would inevitably have such a conversation someday, it was just a matter of time.
Mabel Quinn slightly bit her lip, feeling as if she couldn’t intervene in the aura exuded by these two men.
But... if Kyle Kinston was to have a private conversation with her father... She signaled to Kyle with her eyes not to reveal the true reason for treating her father’s injury back then.
And Kyle Kinston simply returned her a slight smile.
Mabel Quinn didn’t know whether Kyle Kinston actually understood her hint, but recalling how he promised before coming to J City, given his character, once he agreed, he wouldn’t go back on his word, he probably wouldn’t say anything.
So Mabel Quinn then carried her daughter into the Quinn Family, led by the servant. At this moment, only Edward Quinn and Kyle Kinston, along with the Quinn Family’s butler, stood at the entrance of the Quinn Family mansion.
"Then Mr. Kinston, please come with me, the entrance is hardly the right place for a discussion," Edward Quinn said coldly, turning and walking ahead first.
Kyle Kinston followed behind indifferently, knowing full well that Edward Quinn’s "invitation" was likely a trap.
Regardless, he must face it, because... that man is Mabel’s father, the man who once protected Mabel with his life.
The two of them arrived at the place Edward Quinn had previously set up as a shrine for Mabel Quinn. Now, everything there had naturally been completely cleaned up, and the spacious room was empty.
"Do you know what this place is?" Edward Quinn suddenly asked, then, without waiting for an answer, continued, "Once this place was filled with Mabel’s things, along with her memorial tablet, her portrait that I chose... At that time, I thought I had lost this daughter forever."
So this place also became where Edward Quinn spent the most time over the years, always coming here, looking at his daughter’s relics, then shedding tears.
Kyle Kinston’s expression changed slightly, and he softly said, "I’m sorry." That apology was filled with sincerity and guilt, without being perfunctory.
"Sorry?" Edward Quinn rebuked coldly, "Mr. Kinston, Elder Kinston! Do you think a mere apology can erase the suffering Mabel endured over the years? She fell into the sea and almost perished there. She gave birth and almost lost her life again. She survived in a foreign land alone with her child—the hardships in this, how well can you truly understand? While she was suffering, what were you doing? Flirting with that Francine Howards? And now you show up beside Mabel again, what does that count for? Why? Did you think she hasn’t died, that she’s better than that Francine Howards, so you came back to choose her again? My daughter is not someone you can choose whenever you feel like it!"
