Chapter 398: Chapter 398

But now, this side of him is facing her, his hostility like a sharp sword pointed straight at her.

No, it should be said that he now is even more frightening than what she saw back then!

Francine Howards opened her mouth, but her throat seemed blocked by fear, preventing any sound from escaping.

Mabel Quinn first took a cab to the cake shop, hurriedly picked up the cake, and then asked the cab driver to head to Ginkgo Square. It was already close to 9 PM, and Mabel was anxious. She had been calling Kyle, wanting to let him know she’d be there soon, but she couldn’t reach him, making her more anxious.

Could it be that Kyle’s phone was out of battery? If only she had chosen a meeting place closer to the Hospital, she could have arrived earlier at the meeting spot.

Fortunately, her vision was gradually restored, and her focus was no longer problematic. She could see things as usual.

The car arrived at Ginkgo Square, and Mabel paid the fare, hurriedly got off with the cake, and went to their initially agreed meeting place. However, Kyle Kinston was nowhere to be seen.

She guessed he might still be having dinner at a restaurant, but there were so many restaurants nearby that she didn’t know which one he might be at.

Thinking for a moment, Mabel called Caleb, Kyle’s secretary, hoping he might know where Kyle was.

The call connected quickly, "Secretary Yu, do you know where Kyle is? I can’t reach his cell phone," Mabel said anxiously.

"Well... Elder Kinston has returned to the mansion," Caleb replied.

Mabel was taken aback, guessing that Kyle might have left because he waited for too long. However, this also made her let out a slight sigh of relief. At least Kyle wasn’t in any trouble.

"Is there anything else, Miss Quinn?" Caleb’s voice came back.

Mabel quickly responded, "Nothing else." Hanging up, she once again picked up the cake and hailed a cab to Kyle’s mansion.

Meanwhile, in another moving black sedan, Caleb glanced at Kyle Kinston, who sat in the back seat with his eyes closed, seemingly napping.

The call just now... Elder Kinston must have heard it, yet he didn’t react at all.

Did something happen between Elder Kinston and Miss Quinn? Caleb wondered. Clearly, Elder Kinston was in a good mood before heading to the square, so what happened in just a few hours?

However, Caleb didn’t have the courage to ask anything at this point. To him, Elder Kinston exuded a fearsome aura right now, so quiet yet equally unsettling.

Mabel Quinn took a cab back to Kyle’s mansion. Inside the house, she found an eerie silence; even the usual servants were absent.

If she hadn’t asked the guard at the gate and confirmed that Kyle had indeed returned, she would have thought the mansion was completely deserted.

Mabel carried the cake up the stairs to the bedroom door. When she pushed it open, she found the room engulfed in darkness. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novelꞁire.net

"Kyle, are you here?" she asked, while her hand groped the wall, intending to turn on the light.

Just as her hand touched the switch and was about to press it, another hand suddenly covered hers. A breath enveloped her, and that familiar voice whispered in her ear, "I’m here."
