After a conversation with Mr. Kang, Mabel Quinn returned to the bedroom. As soon as she entered, she was pulled onto the bed by a familiar force, the scent enveloping her immediately.
"Why did you take so long?" Kyle Kinston asked.
Mabel Quinn wrapped her hands around his neck and smiled slightly, "I happened to meet Mr. Kang and chatted with him for a while. He’s very concerned about you, you know. He said no matter what conflicts arise between us in the future, he hopes I won’t leave you."
"And what about you?" he asked softly, his body pressing a bit closer to hers. Orıginal content can be found at novel•fire.net
"Of course, I reassured him." She suddenly flipped over, and in an instant, their positions changed with her on top and him below.
Mabel Quinn looked down at Kyle Kinston, her right hand gently pressing on his heart.
He lay flat, eyes fixed on her with deep affection. In this moment, he seemed to let her take the lead, ready to endure whatever she wanted to do with him.
"Kyle..." she murmured softly, "Mr. Kang said it’s hard for you to open your heart to someone. But what about me, will you open your heart for me?"
His eyes became even darker, as if shrouded in mist, making them unreadable.
"What about you, do you want that?" he replied.
"Yes, no matter how many years it takes, I want you to truly, completely relax in front of me, without any reservations," she said, feeling that despite their love, he still harbored many things within himself, like his childhood experiences, certain repressed emotions...
As if they were taboos she had yet to touch, she would wait, wait for the day he was willing to truly tell her.
"Then, I will," he promised, for his heart would open only for her.
Mabel Quinn smiled, like the warm sun, not intense, but very comforting. Her fingers gently caressed his cheek, and her lips met his.
She loved him , whether his good side or bad; she realized she loved him... This man who moved her heart and made it ache.
She was willing to, little by little, walk into his heart and understand everything about him—regardless of how many years it might take.
The next day, Mabel Quinn went out with Kyle Kinston for a stroll, having been in Falling City for several days and nearly having completed their affairs. Mabel thought of buying some local specialties to take back for friends.
Although the internet is now very advanced and many things can be bought online, it’s all about the thought.
When she mentioned wanting to buy local specialties, Kyle Kinston offered to accompany her. Therefore, Mabel Quinn found herself with Kyle Kinston in front of a duck tongue shop.
"The duck tongues here are quite good, and this flavor can only be found in Falling City. You can buy some to take back for friends," Kyle Kinston said.
Looking at the ordinary little shop, Mabel Quinn thought that if Kyle Kinston hadn’t brought her, she would never have found this place.
But then, it was also hard to associate Kyle Kinston with such a shop.
Mabel Quinn and Kyle Kinston walked into the shop, which was run by an elderly couple. Upon seeing Kyle Kinston, they smiled, "Here you are, haven’t seen you in a long time, the usual?"
