Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife-Chapter 691 - 720: The Reason

Edward Quinn’s face slightly darkened, "What, do you also think that my kindness to you has ulterior motives?"

"No!" Mabel Quinn shook her head quickly, "I can feel that Uncle is good to me just because he treats me as a junior. I just don’t understand why, because I’m not the only junior in the Quinn Family, and besides... I actually have no blood relation with the Quinn Family now."

Edward Quinn remained silent and did not respond immediately. The two walked all the way to the entrance of the urban village. Edward glanced at the place and asked, "You live here?"

"Yeah, the rent here is relatively cheap, and I can afford it." She said with a smile.

"You have five percent of the Quinn Family’s shares, you can completely afford a much better place than this," Edward said.

Mabel took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, I know that what the Quinn Family has given me is your and Granny Taylor’s pity, but I have my hands and feet, and I want to rely on myself to earn my own living." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Edward looked at his niece in front of him, overlapping with someone in his memory. That person also seemed to stubbornly refuse his help and wanted to rely on themselves.

He raised his hand and gently brushed aside Mabel’s bangs.

Mabel looked at Edward with slight surprise.

"Didn’t you say you wanted to ask why I’m good to you?" Edward said, "You bear some resemblance to someone I once loved. Not that you look exactly alike, but you have a few shadows of that person, so when I see you, I subconsciously want to be nicer to you."

This answer surprised her a bit, yet somehow it seemed reasonable.

"Then... what about that person?" she asked almost instinctively, and immediately felt that she shouldn’t have asked. But... for some indescribable reason, she wanted to know that person’s whereabouts, a feeling even Mabel couldn’t explain.

However, Edward didn’t find it inappropriate, and with a low sigh, he said, "She disappeared, and I’ve never found her again."

A stifling silence slowly but surely enveloped the two.

Mabel continued to walk forward, and Edward followed beside her. Neither of them noticed that a black car was parked not far away, and a pair of phoenix eyes inside the car were watching everything intently.

Mabel reached the door of her place, "Uncle, I’m here, um..." she said a bit awkwardly. By right, she should invite her uncle in for a seat and a cup of tea, but the place was very simple, and she found it difficult to voice the invitation.

Instead, Edward smiled and said, "I’m a bit thirsty, how about inviting me in for a cup of tea?"

"...Okay." Mabel opened the door, let Edward inside, then boiled some water and brewed a cup of hot tea for him.

Edward looked around at the small residence where Mabel lived. Such a place is probably unimaginable for the younger generations of the Quinn Family. This girl, without a life of luxury, is living more tenaciously than many of the Quinn Family’s younger generations.

Then he also noticed the photo of Asher Quinn on a low cabinet at Mabel’s bedside; this cousin of his, whom he had first met with Clover.

Edward couldn’t help but fall into his memories, only breaking out of them when Mabel softly called him back.
