Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife-Chapter 694 - 723: Not another word

"Who... are you going to fall in love with?" His voice trembled, his brows knitted tightly, and the veins at his temple were faintly bulging.

"No matter who I might fall in love with, I won’t fall for you again. You can rest assured," Mabel Quinn said. "If you don’t believe me, then I can swear, I, Mabel Quinn, swear that in this life, I will never fall in love with Kyle..."

"Stop!" He raised his hand and abruptly covered her lips, but his hand was trembling violently. His tremor was so intense that it even surprised Mabel.

At this moment, his face was ashen, without a trace of color. His expression even seemed to carry a hint of fear, as if he was extremely afraid of the words she was about to utter.

Mabel was stunned. She had never seen such an expression on his face.

"Don’t... don’t say it, not another word..." He managed to say this with great difficulty, as if each word drained all his energy.

Mabel couldn’t help but frown. His behavior seemed indeed rather strange.

After a long while, once he was sure she wouldn’t say anything more, he finally let go of his hand, though it still trembled violently.

He lowered his head, staring blankly at his trembling hand, unable to stop the quivering.

Why, upon hearing her swear, why did he feel such terror? Why was he so afraid? As if the world were about to come to an end.

He clearly told himself not to repeat his father’s mistakes. He intended to endure the pain of the Blood Curse year after year, and not to love again.

But why couldn’t he bear the thought of her falling for someone else? Unable to listen to her vow of not loving him.

This fear seemed almost to devour him. Was it because she was his fated one? Because she was the only woman he ever loved?

"What’s wrong with you?" His unusual demeanor tugged at her conscience, and Mabel sat up and asked.

He looked up and fixed his gaze on her. "So, it’s impossible not to love... how ironic..." After saying this, he staggered to the door, opened it, and left briskly.

What did he mean by those words? She bit her lip, then shook her head, telling herself not to overthink it. Whatever he meant, it had nothing to do with her anymore.

She tidied her somewhat disheveled clothes and hair, picked up her bag, and left the house, heading to the supermarket.

After Mabel left, a figure slowly emerged from the corner. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Daniel Harris looked at Mabel’s departing figure with a complex expression. Today, he had come because of some news, intending to find him, but unexpectedly, he saw Kyle Kinston leaving her house.

Why had Kyle come here? And Mabel, what was she thinking?

Between them, could there still be...

Daniel told himself to stop thinking about it, because that possibility gave him a feeling of returning to the darkness, a darkness where he couldn’t see even a glimmer of hope.

Mabel spent the evening at the supermarket, buying some food, but she always felt uneasy. Perhaps because Kyle’s trembling hands and terrified expression left such a deep impression on her, Mabel speculated silently.
