Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife

Mabel Quinn certainly hadn’t forgotten, back when she was in school, how many times Alice Conley recommended yaoi novels and comics to her.

"You guys... continue..." In the end, she was stunned for a moment, and what came out was this sentence.

"Continue what?" Kyle Kinston frowned slightly, straightening up as he walked towards Mabel Quinn, "Is the discharge paperwork all done?"

"Ah? Yes... it’s all done." Her face was flushed red, oh my, what had she just said!

"Your hair is a bit messy," Kyle Kinston said.

Mabel Quinn suddenly recalled that when she was handling the discharge paperwork, her hair had been caught by the cuff of another patient’s family member, so she raised her hand, intending to redo her ponytail.

But Kyle Kinston spoke up first, "Let me." Then naturally, he untied her hairband, and with his long fingers, he ran them through her hair as if his fingers were a comb, tidying it.

Mabel Quinn was aware of Kyle Kinston’s skill in braiding, after all, he had braided their daughter’s hair many times, and his skills seemed quite adept.

Atlas Shaw watched this scene unfold, and on his face was an unmistakable expression of surprise.

Who could have imagined that the man who had just coldly uttered "I’ll kill you" would now be so gently combing a woman’s hair?

The gentleness and doting expression made anyone able to see that this man was deeply in love with this woman.

And Mabel’s look was something he hadn’t seen before... because it was Kyle Kinston, she showed such an expression...

It truly was discouraging, but... also envious...

And how about him? In the future, would he ever meet someone who would make him desire to live? Someone who would make him feel that living is a meaningful thing?

On the Tomb-Sweeping Festival, at the Quinn Family’s ancestor worship, Alessia Quinn and Camille Grant were not present, only Christopher Quinn appeared, and he looked noticeably older and more haggard, indicating these past few days were truly a living hell for him.

Upon seeing Mabel Quinn, Christopher Quinn opened his mouth but ultimately just sighed, saying nothing.

Kyle Kinston also appeared at the Quinn Family’s ancestor worship, as did Katherine Quinn, the little one was extremely curious about the ancestor worship, eagerly anticipating it these past few days, which left Mabel Quinn somewhat speechless.

Thankfully, the little one remembered the steps of the ancestor worship and obediently followed them during the ceremony, making no mistakes, which was a relief to Mabel Quinn.

Looking at the ancestral tablet of the Old Lady Quinn laid out on the ancestral altar, Mabel Quinn couldn’t help but have her feelings stirred; her parents splitting up and her ending up being taken in by her foster father, one could say the Old Lady Quinn had a hand in it.

Her emotions towards this Granny Taylor were quite complex; she knew Granny had tried to make amends later on, otherwise, she wouldn’t have left shares to her or prepared such a generous dowry.

But Granny Taylor, until her death, never revealed her real origins.

After discovering her true heritage, it’s not that she didn’t hold grievances against Granny, but now those feelings had faded, maybe time really can wash away many things.

She just didn’t know if Granny Taylor ever regretted it? If she hadn’t intervened, then perhaps many people and things would be different, maybe they would have been a happy family.
