Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife-Chapter 634 - 660: From Now On, Alone

He lowered his head, his eyes fixed intently on her. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Alice Conley was stunned, her lips seemed, at this moment, to become unbearably dry. How could she tell this man that between them it wasn’t a misunderstanding, but helplessness.

Helplessness given to her by fate.

"Alice, promise me, will you!" He was asking for her assurance.

Alice Conley took a deep breath and finally said, "Alright, I promise there will be no misunderstanding between us."

Only then did he seem to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled contentedly, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart.

And she, looking at his smile, only felt a sense of trance. How much she wished she could always gaze upon this smile, and how much she wished she could always accompany this man.

The next day, Alice Conley accompanied Mabel Quinn to find an inexpensive apartment. Naturally, Alice had also told Mabel that Dorian Howards had offered her an apartment to stay in temporarily.

But as she anticipated, Mabel Quinn refused, "Relying on others will eventually lead to a day when you can’t rely on them. Now, I understand more than ever, it’s still best to rely on myself."

Alice Conley felt only heartache for her friend; clearly, they were the same age, but Mabel had endured much more hardship than her. With such a family, ever since Mabel’s father passed away, there was no warmth of a family left. She once thought Kyle Kinston would be the one to bring warmth to Mabel, but instead, he gave Mabel an even heavier blow.

So, the two of them spent two days and finally found a farmhouse in a village within the city near the Corporation, 1500 for a room, with a separate bathroom, but no kitchen.

However, because the price was reasonable, Mabel Quinn ultimately chose this farmhouse, "Anyway, I don’t usually cook. If I really want to cook something up, I can use a hot plate," she said.

Alice Conley also helped Mabel Quinn move her luggage from the inn to the farmhouse.

"But the people living here are a mixed bunch, you have to be careful and call me if anything happens," Alice Conley said.

"Alright, I know." Mabel Quinn replied.

Seeing the fatigue on her friend’s face, Alice Conley said, "Then I’ll head back. You should rest early too."

"Mm." Mabel Quinn responded. After Alice Conley left, she took her belongings out of the suitcase one by one and arranged them in the room.

This room was very small and very shabby, but from now on, it would be her temporary home.

Home... A word that seems warm to others, but now, to her, it’s so cold.

Ultimately... it was just her alone!

She had been abandoned by her biological parents. Her father loved her, but he left her. Kyle also claimed to love her, but then he broke up with her.

When she took out that box of handmade chocolates from the suitcase, her eyes slowly filled with a layer of mist. These were chocolates she made for him, back then she had so many beautiful thoughts. Imagining the surprise and joy he might have upon receiving the chocolates.

But now, all that remains is desolation.

In the room, the only appliance was the old television placed on a low cabinet in the room. Mabel Quinn turned on the TV, which was replaying a Spring Festival Gala at the moment.

She watched the replay while taking bites of the chocolate, chewing them into her mouth. The chocolates that were supposed to be sweet, but when tasted, were so bitter.

From now on, she was alone!
