Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife-Chapter 917 - 954: Paying Respects

"Were you just thinking about your father?" he asked, his initial unease and jealousy fading away due to her explanation.

"Partly, and I was also thinking about Uncle and Clover," Mabel Quinn said. "I recently found out that this badge was Clover’s. But Clover disappeared, and the badge ended up with my father. He also told me to keep it safe. Isn’t that strange? Uncle even specifically asked me about the badge."

Kyle Kinston’s eyes narrowed slightly. After thinking for a while, he said, "Did Clover have any children back then?"

Mabel realized that Kyle had the same suspicion she had before, so she replied, "Clover did have a child back then, about half a month younger than me, or maybe even a bit more. It was a stillborn, and Uncle saw the stillborn himself, so... I can’t be Clover’s child. As for why I might resemble Clover a bit, it’s probably just a coincidence."

Mabel paused and continued, "Later, I thought, although I don’t know why Clover’s badge is with my father, maybe because he saw that I resembled Clover a bit, he wanted me to keep it, as a sort of emotional connection."

This is the only reasonable explanation she could think of.

"Perhaps," Kyle said. "Have you ever thought about finding your biological parents?"

"I have, but I’m afraid that finding them might not be better than not finding them," Mabel said, biting her lip. "If they had intentionally abandoned me back then, then even if I find them now, what meaning would it have? Maybe it’s better not to find them."

For her, it was quite contradictory.

"Then we can discuss finding your biological parents later. If you have time in the next couple of days, let’s go pay respects to your father," he said.

"But you’re still injured," she said.

"It’s just my hand that can’t exert force. It’s not to the extent that I can’t walk," Kyle said. "Besides, we had already agreed that once I got back, we’d go pay respects to your father together. But because of my injury, it’s been delayed for so many days."

After a pause, he laughed softly and said, "Furthermore, you’re going to marry me. We should go together and tell your father."

Upon hearing this, Mabel’s gaze softened, and she replied, "Okay."

Since the Tomb-Sweeping Festival had passed over a week ago, the cemetery was quite deserted. Mabel Quinn and Kyle Kinston stood before Asher Quinn’s tombstone, burned incense, bowed deeply three times, and then placed the incense in front of the tombstone.

Kyle Kinston looked at the photo of the middle-aged man on the tombstone with gratitude. If this man hadn’t taken Mabel in and raised her back then, would she have long ceased to exist in this world?

Then, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to meet her, fall in love with her, or experience any happiness.

Every time he thought about his fate-bound connection, unknowingly pursuing something fleeting. Historically, how many Kinston Family members have searched for this elusive connection? Perhaps they couldn’t find it because their fate-bound connections had already left this world.

"Dad, I’ve brought Kyle to see you," Mabel gently spoke. "This is the man I chose. I wonder if you would like him. I think you probably would, right? Kyle is very good to me. Dad, you liked soldiers a lot, didn’t you? When I was little, you always told me stories from when you were in the military. Although he’s a businessman, he also served in the military. If you were still alive, you could chat with him about the fun times in the military..."
