Chapter 1326 - 1365: Never Letting Go

"So..." She hesitated for a moment and said, "When do you plan to return to Falling City?"

He raised his eyes, staring at her steadily, "Where you are, I will be, Mabel. You can’t shake me off."

At that moment, she felt as if her entire being was locked by his gaze.

Can’t shake him off?

The bond between her and him was actually much deeper than she imagined... in fact... no matter what, as long as she was his lifeline, then in this lifetime, she would be inseparably intertwined with him, wouldn’t she?

"When I return to J City, I will go back to the Quinn Family," Mabel Quinn said, her voice suddenly halting, her gaze lingering on Kyle Kinston momentarily before she continued, "But I never told my father the truth about how he was saved, so... I hope you will never tell him either."

Kyle Kinston’s face suddenly turned pale, the reason... it was he who had forced her to choose between her father’s life and the child in her womb, only then agreeing to save her father.

And this... maybe was the thing that caused her the most pain.

"I’m sorry," he murmured, a wave of painful remorse rising within him. It was his cruelty that had pushed her to make such a choice, and no wonder her heart had died toward him, why she had coldly refused him time and time again.

"It’s all in the past now, just make sure you don’t tell him," she said. "I don’t want him to know what happened back then. Just let him think you saved him out of goodwill. As for why we parted ways, my father only knows that you didn’t want the child, and I left you because I was pregnant. I only told him that we were not suitable for each other, so after the maritime accident, I concealed my identity and never reunited with you."

If she went to J City, Kyle Kinston would inevitably meet her father, so Mabel Quinn was giving Kyle a heads-up to prevent him from accidentally slipping up, she feared it would cause her father undue guilt.

After all, her father had been feeling guilty about her mother for almost 30 years now, and if he learned the truth from back then, it would likely add to his pain.

All she hoped for now was that her father could find some happiness and enjoy his later years peacefully.

Kyle Kinston remained silent for a long time, before quietly murmuring, "Alright, I understand."

She breathed a sigh of relief. Her daughter was now asleep, and she took the teacup and walked toward the kitchen, planning to add some hot water to it.

But just as she placed the teacup in front of the water dispenser, suddenly a pair of arms embraced her from behind, and his voice sounded quietly in her ear, "The most regretful thing I’ve done in this life was treating you that way back then. I don’t know how I could earn your forgiveness, but it won’t happen again. From now on, I will never hurt your heart again. If I do, I will make myself disappear completely in front of you!"

His words were like a vow, causing her body to suddenly tremble.

To completely disappear... what kind of disappearance was that? Her heart suddenly filled with fear, even refusing to consider such a possibility.

Even though she had hated him, resented him, wanted to become two parallel lines with him, never intersecting again, she had never considered his disappearance.

Was it because, in her heart... she actually still cared about him?

Even though she has buried their feelings deeply, has she never truly let go of him in her heart?
