Mabel Quinn’s silence made Daniel Harris’s gaze gradually turn icy. "If you really want to gain any benefit from me, then at least you should do your homework first." He couldn’t tell what he was feeling at this moment. The chaotic emotions he had just felt turned into a sense of disappointment or loss.
"So, you don’t believe me, do you?" Mabel Quinn asked, feeling a slight bitterness on her lips. Once friends who had gone through life and death together, now it seemed like there were mountains between them.
However, the reason for everything was that he couldn’t see back then, and she didn’t tell the truth.
Daniel Harris’s thin lips tugged slightly, "Should I believe you? And what should I use to believe you?"
Grace Yowell hooked Daniel Harris’s arm, "Daniel, alright, Mabel was just a bit confused for a moment. Don’t blame her."
Before Daniel Harris could speak, another voice interjected, "Alright, can I have my girlfriend back now?"
Mabel Quinn looked up and saw Kyle Kinston stepping into the small balcony, "All three of you are here, what are you talking about so eagerly that you forgot to return to the table?"
"We were just talking about some things from the past," Mabel Quinn said.
Kyle Kinston naturally took Mabel Quinn’s hand, then frowned slightly, "Why is your hand so cold?"
"Probably... because of the wind," she said.
He wrapped her hands in his palms, lowered his head, gently breathed on them, then rubbed them, slowly warming her hands.
"Are you done talking?" Kyle Kinston asked again.
Mabel Quinn gently lowered her eyelids, "We’re done, let’s go, I still want to eat a bit more, I haven’t had enough just now."
"Okay." He smiled slightly, holding her hand as they left the small balcony.
Daniel Harris stared at their departing backs, his eyes darkening. Grace Yowell suddenly hugged Daniel Harris, saying, "Daniel, don’t be , okay? Every time you show that look, it always makes me feel like you care about Mabel more than you care about me. But she already has a boyfriend, and her boyfriend is Kyle Kinston. Daniel, why don’t you look at me? I have always loved you so much, stayed by your side, why don’t you look at me?"
Daniel Harris looked down at Grace Yowell in front of his chest, "Back then... during that time, who was really with me, you or Mabel Quinn?"
Grace Yowell showed a disbelieving expression, "How... how could you ask me that?! Do you believe Mabel Quinn? Believe that she would use my name to be with you?! Our reunion back then, was it all an act on my part? It was you who first recognized that badge I was wearing, and that’s how you recognized me! I didn’t know you were from the Harris Family and came to you on purpose for any reason! Also, when I was sick with a fever and you were leaving, do you want me to repeat what you said in my ear? You said you’d never forget me, that you’d remember me forever, that your life was mine from then on, that you would live well and cherish the life I saved!"
Grace Yowell’s voice became more choked as she spoke, nearly unable to continue, tears streaming from her eyes, evoking pity.
Daniel Harris sighed softly and finally embraced Grace Yowell, "Grace, I’m sorry, I overthought it."
