She never truly understood him, just as he perhaps never knew what she needed.

At this moment, Mabel Quinn was groggy, thinking she was still dreaming. After she uttered those words, her eyes shut again, and she fell back into sleep.

Kyle Kinston gazed deeply at the person on the bed, his hand placed over his heart, where his heartbeat was so violent, that feeling of irritation, discomfort spreading once more over his chest.

If earlier he was unsure if he was jealous of a little girl, now he could be sure, he was envious... envious of the man in her heart.

Is she going to be inseparable with another man for her whole life?

Then what does he matter?! Is there still a chance for them to depend on each other?

When Mabel Quinn woke up the next morning, she found herself in bed, covered with a blanket, which startled her as she sat up suddenly. Fortunately, after checking her clothes, they were all normal, with no signs of being undressed.

Mabel Quinn breathed a sigh of relief and then secretly mocked herself, what’s wrong with her, does she really think Kyle Kinston would take advantage of her while she’s asleep?

To him, she is nothing but a stranger now. Although she didn’t understand why he behaved abnormally after seeing her yesterday, from their conversation yesterday and the way he looked at her, she could sense that he truly did not remember her.

This time, Kyle Kinston’s absence made Mabel Quinn feel a bit more relaxed, only when she looked at the time and discovered it was already past 10 o’clock did she become shocked. She quickly got out of bed, found her bag, turned it over to find her phone, and called Auntie Wu. After learning that Auntie Wu had already sent Ivy to kindergarten and everything was as usual, Mabel Quinn felt relieved.

She tidied up her clothes, took her bag, and walked out of the room. As she exited the house, she naturally saw the guards at the entrance, clearly feeling the strange looks those guards directed at her.

Well, she could somewhat imagine the reason, spending a night here was enough to spark imaginations. Fortunately, the security measures here were quite perfect, no paparazzi would be squatting here to sneak a shot.

Until she returned to the Apartment Complex, Mabel Quinn entered the bathroom to take a bath. The warm water flowed over her exhausted body, and she finally felt like she was alive again.

It really was... a puzzling night, such a reunion, and then such a departure.

She just hoped that the entanglement between her and Kyle Kinston really was just for last night. Mabel Quinn looked at her hand, which had been held all night; the water continued to wash over this hand, but it seemed it still retained his warmth, no matter how she washed it was hard to clean away.

In Falling City, Francine Howards received a phone call, her face full of disbelief as she said, "How is that possible!"

"It’s true, Miss Howards. Last night, President Kyle personally brought a woman back to his residence, and that woman only left his residence today in the morning. Quite a few people saw it yesterday, so many can testify to it." The person on the other end said, though truthfully, if asked directly, no one would dare confirm it; after all, it is President Kyle’s private matter.
