Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1215: Giving Up on Love?
"Mom, I know marriage is not child’s play, but I also know what I want."
July Quinn leaned her head against Laura Quinn’s neck.
Her daughter rarely showed such closeness, seemingly making Laura Quinn give up her inner resolve.
"July, you loved Keaton deeply before; don’t you feel it’s a pity to give up on this relationship so easily?"
Richard Donovan watched July Quinn obediently leaning against Laura Quinn’s shoulder, his sharp eyes narrowing once more.
"I did love him, but he pushed me off the cliff and broke my heart, didn’t he?"
July Quinn looked up and gave Richard Donovan a gentle smile.
As if letting go of the past, or as a way to persuade Richard Donovan.
Richard Donovan was taken aback, again and again, finally seeming to be convinced.
"Alright, do as you see fit then."
"Then I’ll leave the wedding preparations to you."
July Quinn persuaded Richard Donovan and Laura Quinn, then looked at Jennings.
Jennings laughed, saying, "No problem. But to avoid complications, how about this weekend?"
"Alright, you arrange it."
Jennings laughed.
July Quinn also laughed.
The discussion about marriage seemed very pleasant and complete.
That night, a shadow snuck into July Quinn’s room.
July Quinn was sitting under a heat lamp, wrapped in a thick blanket.
Beside her was a tiny kitten frolicking around her feet.
After warming her hands, July Quinn reached out to pet the kitten’s head.
More interested in playing than petting, the kitten showed its little paws, chasing July Quinn’s hand.
As the person and the cat enjoyed their playful moment, the shadow attacked July Quinn from behind.
Her neck was grabbed, and she shivered slightly.
Because the person’s hand carried the chill from outside.
But soon, July Quinn was back to normal, even tugging at the person’s hand, saying, "Stop it. I’m freezing."
She showed none of the panic one might expect from someone being choked.
However, the person being pulled back quickly withdrew his hand, sitting beside July Quinn.
But his tone remained cold, "How did you escape?"
"Susie found me, helped me, and I got out."
July Quinn continued to play with the kitten, seemingly unaware of the fury emanating from Kyle Keaton.
"Did you forget what you promised me before?"
The man also gazed at the small kitten.
Such a lively and mischievous little creature, it caught onto July Quinn’s fingers and ran about.
"Didn’t forget."
July Quinn seemed thoroughly immersed in the play, not even raising her head.
"If you didn’t forget, then why..."
The man’s anger was almost tangible, his voice raised.
But before he finished speaking, his lips were silenced.
Silenced by July Quinn’s... lips.
Honestly, Kyle Keaton wanted to make this kiss fiery and intense.
Yet he opened his eyes to find a smile in the woman’s close-up gaze.
He didn’t want to be swayed by her, so he turned his face away, ending the kiss.
"Really angry?"
If even a kiss was denied, July knew that the man was truly upset, which was a testament to how long they’d spent together.
Instead of answering, the man asked back, "You tell me!"
Though he wore a stern face, at least this time he faced July.
This proved that the kiss had some effect after all.
Thus, July Quinn simply hugged the man’s waist, leaning her head on his shoulder.
"Don’t be angry, okay? It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you. My phone is still in their hands..."
Indeed, she had wanted to contact Kyle Keaton last night.
Perhaps sensing she might be pregnant, or after experiencing life and death, understanding the value of being together forever, she intensely missed Kyle Keaton, almost to the point of desperation.
But after searching Joy Quinn thoroughly, she found that her phone wasn’t with Joy Quinn.
She feared logging in recklessly and sending messages using her account would alert Jennings.
But she missed Kyle Keaton so much, she dared to risk being discovered and sent a message to Kyle Keaton in front of Jennings that morning.
