Chapter 1440 - 1481: The Wedding

"Not married, the child’s mother has passed away, and as it turns out, he has just found the child recently," Mabel Quinn said. As for the reasons, she did not ask Daniel Harris since it was the other party’s private matter.

"I see." Alice Conley showed a sympathetic expression. In this case, that little kid is like a child without a mother, and he’s only recently met his real dad. Suddenly, Alice’s heart ached for that pretty little boy; it’s no wonder the child didn’t have the liveliness and innocence of kids his age.

When it was almost time for the wedding to start, Edward Quinn came into the room to escort his daughter. Seeing his daughter dressed in a pure white wedding dress, his eyes unexpectedly moistened, as if he saw Clover standing joyfully in front of him.

However, he had never given Clover a wedding until now, never allowed Clover to wear a wedding dress.

"Dad, what’s wrong?" Mabel’s voice suddenly snapped Edward back to reality.

"No...nothing," Edward replied quickly, "I’m happy, just too happy. You’ve found your place, and this is very good, truly good."

Taking a deep breath, Edward took his daughter’s hand, "Alright, it’s time to go prepare; soon it will be time to make the entrance."

"Mm," Mabel gently responded, and together with her father, she left the lounge.

Today was her wedding day, and by her side, her own father was with her to witness this event. It was something she had never even imagined before.

She had a home now, her father’s home, and the family she formed with Kyle. To her, the world was no longer a lonely place for her alone.

As the music started, under the lights, Edward led Mabel, slowly stepping into the wedding venue.

This was a path leading to the podium at the very front of the wedding hall. It was very short, and at a normal pace, it wouldn’t even take a minute to walk through it, but for Edward, it felt so long.

Today, being able to walk with his daughter towards another man, to entrust his daughter to another man, how many twists and turns and difficulties lay within this.

Year after year, even though his own flesh and blood was right beside him, he missed the chances time and again.

If Asher and Clover were still around, how wonderful it would be. If they could witness this scene, they would surely be as happy as he was, pleased that Mabel found a man who loved her so dearly.

And now, he would stand in their place, together witnessing his daughter’s happiness.

Edward led Mabel to Kyle Kinston. This man had once hurt Mabel deeply, leading Edward to disapprove of him entirely, but in this man, he seemed to see his own reflection; wasn’t he also hurting Clover deeply?

Later on, witnessing Kyle’s goodness to Mabel, seeing Kyle’s remorse, seeing how he took care of Mabel’s needs and loved Ivy, Edward gradually began to accept him.

"I entrust my daughter to you." Edward held his daughter’s hand, gently... yet reluctantly placing it into Kyle’s hand. From now on, there would be another man to protect Mabel with him, and after his death, this man would continue to protect Mabel.
