Chapter 425: Chapter 425

"In the future, don’t wait for the Driver to call me. If something comes up, call me first." Kyle Kinston added.

Mabel Quinn pressed her lips together, "I saw Daniel Harris outside the car and thought there shouldn’t be any major issue."

She initially thought Daniel Harris was there to stand up for Grace Yowell, but unexpectedly, he was there to recognize her. Was it because of that manuscript from the past? Did it make Daniel Harris certain that she was the "Grace" from Drumbeat Village when they were kids?

But this moment of "recognition" was too late. If it weren’t for what happened at the police station, maybe she would have been happy, maybe she could have reminisced with him about their shared past.

But—when he forced her to apologize at the police station, the sudden coldness she felt all over... she no longer wanted to experience that.

"Still thinking about Daniel Harris?" Kyle’s voice suddenly rang in her ears again, and his hand had unknowingly wrapped around hers.

"It’s hard not to." Mabel gave a bitter smile. After all, that scene of recognition might have been something she dreamed of for years. Imagining one day, after many years, she might bump into Isaac Zimmerman on the street, and they would recognize each other just like that. Follow current novels on n0velfire.net

But... this "recognition" was so different from what she had imagined.

"What are you going to do then?" he asked again.

She looked up, staring at him blankly. His large hand gently rubbed her small one, and his dark eyes intently fixed on her, "Now that he’s recognized you as the little girl who accompanied him, what about you? What are you planning to do? Will you rekindle past friendships with him?"

His voice was very gentle, and his expression seemed normal, but only he knew that when he asked that question, his body was unconsciously tense,

He was nervous about her answer. It’s a feeling hard to describe, as if her response could be a sharp sword that might strike him down at any moment.

"Nothing special." Mabel sighed softly. "Even if we’ve recognized each other, it doesn’t change anything for me. Some things have already changed. He’s still Daniel Harris, but in my memory, there’s only Isaac Zimmerman."

He let out a faint sigh of relief. However, when they got out of the car at the supermarket entrance, Kyle said, "Don’t you have anything else you want to ask me?"

That question, he couldn’t avoid. If she didn’t ask, he feared it would take root in her heart, so it was better for him to clarify it directly.

Mabel bit her lip, knowing what Kyle was referring to, "That... back then when Daniel Harris asked you about the bracelet, did you lie to him?"

"Yes, I lied." He said, "Although I’m not clear on what the bracelet means to you and him, I don’t want you to have any connection with him."

He answered candidly, but his gaze at her carried a hint of caution, "Mabel, do you blame me?"

Mabel felt a strange, complex emotion rise in her heart. Should she blame Kyle? If Kyle had told Daniel Harris the truth back then, maybe she and Daniel would have recognized each other sooner, perhaps avoiding many subsequent events.
