Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife-Chapter 204 - 209: Lingering

Her heart was in even more turmoil. His gaze, seemingly clear, yet with a sharpness that appeared as though it could see right through her. She suppressed her anxiety and feigned resentment, saying, "I just don’t want your kindness to me to be only because of the eleven-year-old me. I hope you can also see the present me. Is it possible that my companionship over these years has all been a lie?"

"Your companionship over these years is certainly real," Daniel Harris smiled and said, "Alright, are you still mad at yourself?" freewёbnoνel-com

"Daniel, you know how I feel about you. Is there really no way I can be the one you love?" Grace Yowell said.

Daniel Harris’s smile slowly faded as he reached out to stroke Grace Yowell’s hair, "Grace, how about you give me a smile?"

Grace Yowell was puzzled, but her lips naturally curved into a sweet smile nonetheless. It was an actress’s smile, somewhat alluring, somewhat seductive, yet also a bit deliberate.

Daniel Harris calmly looked at the smile of the person before him. Clearly, this was the person he had once vowed to protect for a lifetime, to treat well for a lifetime, yet why did her smile at this moment leave him feeling nothing?

Instead, it was that woman named Mabel Quinn, whose inadvertent smile tugged at his heartstrings as if being touched.

"Grace, I will treat you well for this lifetime, but I don’t know if I can..." Before Daniel Harris could finish, Grace Yowell suddenly leaned forward, cupped his face in her hands, and kissed him.

As their lips met, Daniel Harris’s brows furrowed slightly, but in the end, he did not push Grace Yowell away.

If this was the kind of relationship she wanted, then... he could fulfill her wish. But why, even when holding her, did he still feel that emptiness despite her being so important to him?

Mabel Quinn told Kyle Kinston about her card being charged a thousand dollars and promised that she would repay the money after officially starting work at Morningstar and receiving her first salary.

Kyle Kinston, however, said, "It’s just a thousand dollars, do you really have to be so clear-cut with me?"

"I’m already eating and using your things. Taking your money too feels like you’re supporting me," she said.

"Even if I’m supporting you, so what? I like taking care of you." He chuckled softly, pulling her closer, his fingers playing with her hair.

He wanted her, wanted her to be his.

So, the executive directly picked her up and carried her to the sofa...

All night, Mabel Quinn’s dreams were filled with Kyle Kinston, with his sultry gaze.

The next day, Mabel Quinn went home. Starting next Monday, she needed to go back to school for graduation-related matters, and some materials were still at home. Additionally, with the changing weather, she needed to bring some summer clothes from home.

But when she returned home, she found that her mother had already changed the locks, and the key she had could not open the door.

She knocked, and her mother answered, only opening the inner wooden door and not the outer iron security door.

Behind the bars, Evelina, full of resentment, said, "What are you here for? I don’t have a daughter like you, one that won’t help her own mother and even sends her brother to prison!"
