Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife-Chapter 969 - 1008: Want Me to Stay Close to You

"Kyle." She took a deep breath and gently wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her head on his uninjured shoulder. How long had it been since she leaned on him like this? "Let’s not argue over others anymore, okay? To me, you are the person I love the most and the most important one. If you and Mr. Conley were in danger at the same time, I wouldn’t hesitate to choose you. People... are ultimately selfish and will only want to protect the person they care about the most."

In her voice, his eyes no longer seemed as cold as before. "Then why do you keep pleading for him again and again? You know it makes me angry."

"Is it really right to let someone who deeply regrets go on with his life to appease your parents’ spirits? Or is it that you haven’t moved past the shadow of your parents?" She paused for a moment and held him tighter, "If Mr. Conley weren’t Alice’s father, if he were just a stranger to me, maybe I wouldn’t be so persistent. That’s why I say, people are selfish. Alice has helped me a lot, especially when..."

That period was the most painful time for her when she left him, realizing she was utterly alone, not knowing where her roots lay. During those days, Alice stayed by her side, helping her find a place to live, comforting her, packing her things, busying for her. She always remembered that kindness.

Kyle’s body suddenly stiffened as he heard Mabel continue, "If I could help Alice but chose not to, I would never forgive myself. But I also understand how much you hate Mr. Conley, so sometimes I feel conflicted and don’t know what to do."

"But didn’t you consider if not for your connection with Alice, he wouldn’t just be getting off lightly now." Kyle said coldly.

"I..." She wanted to say more, but her phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was a call from Dorian Howards.

She picked up the phone, "...Yes, is it necessary? Alright... I understand." After ending the call, she looked at him with a somewhat strange expression.

"What is it, what did he say?" Kyle asked.

"He said that tomorrow evening, after work, I must stick to you closely. He said if you are unwilling, then grab your hand and don’t let go, like it’s extremely important, isn’t that strange?" Mabel said, feeling Dorian’s call was quite inexplicable.

But Kyle remained silent, lowering his eyelids slightly, his long lashes almost covering his eyes.

Tomorrow... is the day of the Full Moon, is Dorian concerned about him?

After putting away the phone, Mabel continued softly, "I know, you have already shown mercy, but... can you be even more lenient? You see, Alice is my good friend, and Dorian has such a good relationship with you. Could you show a little more mercy, so everyone can be happy and joyous, okay?" She slightly raised her head, her expression almost coquettish.
