Meanwhile, the other people around naturally kept their attention on Kyle Kinston. When they saw the hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, everyone couldn’t help but speculate wildly.

When Mabel Quinn finished her work and checked the time, it was already past 6 o’clock. She immediately started to pack up her things. Fortunately, she had already informed the nanny to pick up the child from kindergarten. As she tidied up, Mabel took out her phone and dialed the nanny’s number.

Upon learning that her daughter had already finished dinner and was obediently watching animation, Mabel felt at ease.

Speaking of which, her daughter also loved watching animation. If she was crying or not listening, putting on an animation for her would immediately make her obedient.

However, for the sake of her child’s eyes, Mabel didn’t dare to let her daughter watch too much animation, and she had set a time limit of just one hour each day.

The little one was quite good at following this rule. Every day from 6 to 7 after dinner was the little one’s animation time. It was unmovable, and she would sit on the sofa, her wide, beautiful eyes fixed on the TV screen.

Also, her sitting posture was quite standard, with both little hands on her lap and her back straight.

Sometimes, watching her daughter like this, Mabel couldn’t help but think of Kyle, remembering how that man liked watching animation when he had a fever.

She wondered if this was a matter of inheritance.

But speaking of it, how many kids don’t love watching animation? Perhaps she was just overthinking it, but over the years, even though she wanted to forget Kyle, her daughter’s existence always unexpectedly reminded her of him.

After all, those eyes were too similar.

But unlike his worldly, cold, deep gaze, Ivy’s eyes were clear and clean, glaring with anger or squinting with joy, always so vivid and adorable.

Being able to keep this child was truly wonderful. Mabel was just thinking that when the pen in her hand slipped and fell to the floor.

She told the nanny she would be back soon, put away her phone, and crouched down, following the direction where the pen had rolled, until she saw it had gone under the sofa in the corner.

Mabel bent down, ready to retrieve it from under the sofa, when she heard a bang as the conference room door opened, followed by a familiar voice saying, "Without my orders... no one is allowed to enter..." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Mabel froze... That voice was Kyle’s voice!

Even after six years, she could still instantly recognize his voice. At the moment, because she was bent down, her body was blocked by the sofa, so she hadn’t been discovered by him yet.

Next, she heard the conference room door being shut and the sound of the lock.

Mabel was extremely anxious. God, how was she going to leave now?!

Even worse, she saw Kyle pulling at his tie, his fingers almost trembling as he took out a small white bottle from the inner pocket of his jacket.

That small medicine bottle looked somewhat familiar to Mabel. She remembered seeing a similar bottle before and he had mentioned it’s a special medicine for his hidden ailment.

Could it be... that his ailment was troubling him now?
