Back then, it was he who first recognized Grace, and when he left, those words he said, Mabel couldn’t say them, but Grace could. What was there for him to doubt?
Grace Yowell buried her face in Daniel Harris’s chest, a faint smile flickering at the corner of her lips. Mabel Quinn, so what if she told the truth? In the end, the one Daniel will believe in will only be her, Grace Yowell!
Mabel Quinn returned to the dining table, saying she wanted to eat a bit more, but didn’t actually eat anything. When she returned to Kyle’s Mansion, Kyle Kinston asked Mabel Quinn, "Is something on your mind?"
Mabel Quinn replied, "I just feel that things in the world change; many people and things are not as one imagined." Just like Grace Yowell’s lies and Daniel Harris’s disbelief.
"I heard some of the content of your conversation." Kyle Kinston said abruptly.
Mabel Quinn was slightly taken aback.
"If he didn’t recognize you, it just means he doesn’t care enough. To him, you’re someone that can be replaced." Kyle Kinston said.
Mabel Quinn lowered her head and remained silent.
Kyle Kinston walked up to her and crouched down in front of her, "Are you sad?"
"A little bit." She nodded, "After all, it’s not a good experience when your words aren’t believed."
His hand gently stroked her cheek, "If it were me, I would never mistake you for someone else, no matter what you become, no matter how many years pass, I would never mistake you."
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and his face slowly reflected in her apricot eyes, "Daniel Harris... his eyes actually couldn’t see back then."
"Recognizing someone doesn’t depend on your eyes, but on your feelings," he said, raising her right hand and pressing her palm flat against his heart, "Here, only feels for you. So when it has feelings, I know the person standing in front of me is you, no one else."
Inexplicably, Mabel Quinn only felt her nose tingling, his words at that moment gave her a surge of wanting to cry. Previously, when she found out she’d been deceived by Grace Yowell and denied by Daniel Harris, she never wanted to cry. But now, Kyle Kinston’s words made her want to cry so much.
Tears, one by one, trickled down her eyes.
"Why are you crying?" he asked anxiously, "Did I say something just now that upset you?" The dignified CEO, at this moment, was at a loss.
Mabel Quinn shook her head, "No, it’s... happiness..." she said through sobs, suddenly leaning over, wrapping her arms around his neck, burying her face in his shoulder and crying, "No matter what happens in the future, you can recognize me, I... I’m really happy."
At least, in this world, there’s someone who sees her as irreplaceable, who will recognize her. That’s actually enough... for her, it’s really enough!
Mabel Quinn cried for quite a while before she was done.
Only when she realized that while she was crying, he remained crouched, did guilt wash over her, "Are your legs okay, are they numb? Oh my, I didn’t notice that just now."
