CHAPTER 365: CHAPTER 378: RETRIEVING THE CELL PHONE

Mabel Quinn initially wanted to ask Kyle Kinston how he got her colleague’s phone number, but then she thought, with his capabilities, getting someone’s phone number was probably an easy task for him.

"My phone... maybe I left it somewhere, perhaps in the banquet hall. I’ll ask my colleagues or the banquet staff later to see if anyone has seen my phone," Mabel said.

"Is that so?" Kyle lowered his eyes slightly and led Mabel into the car first.

"Wait, I haven’t paid for my car ride yet," Mabel suddenly remembered.

"Caleb will pay for it," Kyle said.

Only then did Mabel feel relieved. Once inside the car, Kyle asked nonchalantly, "Did anything special happen today?"

Mabel shivered, and the scene of being pinned against the wall by Daniel Harris in the corridor flashed through her mind. "N-no, nothing special," she replied. She didn’t know how to tell him about it, especially since she herself felt so confused.

"It’s good that nothing happened," Kyle said. His dark eyes seemed veiled with a misty haze, making it impossible for anyone to see through them.

"I’m sorry... I made you worry today," Mabel said with her head down, unable to see the expression on Kyle’s face at that moment.

"Then let’s not have a next time, okay?" His voice was soft and gentle, like a warm breeze brushing past her ear.

"Okay," she nodded in agreement.

The car arrived at the Kinston mansion. Kyle led Mabel out of the car and glanced at the moon hanging in the sky. The moon was growing fuller, signaling that the full moon was near.

"Kyle, what are you looking at?" Mabel asked.

"Nothing, let’s go," he turned and gave her a slight smile, taking her hand as they walked into the house.

...

It was night.

At the entrance to the Han Garden, Daniel Harris was somewhat surprised that Kyle Kinston had come personally at such a late hour just to retrieve Mabel Quinn’s phone.

"It seems like you’re really devoted to Mabel Quinn, Mr. Kinston," Daniel said.

"She is my woman. Naturally, I should be devoted to her," Kyle said, "Mr. Harris, please return Mabel’s phone to me."

Kyle extended his right palm out in front of Daniel.

Daniel pressed his lips thinly but didn’t immediately hand over the phone to Kyle. Instead, he asked, "I wonder how long your devotion will last, Mr. Kinston?"

"A lifetime," Kyle replied, meeting Daniel’s gaze.

Daniel chuckled lightly, "Are you taking these four words too lightly, Mr. Kinston?"

Kyle also smiled slightly, enchanting as ever, "These four words have never been taken lightly by me. Haven’t you heard the rumor? The Kinston Family is very persistent in love. Once they fall in love, it’s till death do they part."

Daniel’s expression darkened. Of course, he had heard this rumor. The Kinston Family was known to be both passionate and ruthless, and it’s said that countless people have perished because of the word ’love.’ It was indeed ’till death do they part.’

Was the other party implying that the same would happen between him and Mabel Quinn?

How possessive was Kyle Kinston about Mabel Quinn?!

Daniel placed the phone in Kyle’s outstretched right hand. As Kyle took the phone and was about to get in the car, his body suddenly stiffened, gripping the phone tightly, his thin lips compressed into a straight line.
