But at first glance, it made her panic again.

That little girl... looked very cute, overall more like Mabel Quinn, but those dark phoenix eyes only reminded Francine Howards of Kyle Kinston. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Such phoenix eyes, to date, she had only seen them on members of the Kinston Family, just like Kyle’s father, who also had such phoenix eyes.

And now, this little girl also had these phoenix eyes. Could it be that this child is Kyle’s child? But how is that possible? This child is only 5 years old, and Mabel Quinn fell into the sea 6 years ago!

Wait! Suddenly, Francine remembered that Mabel Quinn was once pregnant, but back then, Kyle insisted on terminating the pregnancy.

But... what if the child wasn’t aborted? What if Mabel Quinn kept the child, and even after the drowning incident, the child survived... then...

Francine’s breathing became rapid, a flash of venomous resentment passed through her eyes. Why, why is Mabel Quinn still alive? And she even gave birth to Kyle’s child, how can she endure this!

Even Kyle Kinston himself couldn’t explain why he had been following this woman named Alexander Quinn all along. If it was because of his lifeline, it seemed to be more than that.

On that day, when he saw Atlas Shaw, the celebrity, carry a giant teddy bear into the apartment complex and then leave more than two hours later, an overwhelming feeling of jealousy spread through him.

That jealousy was beyond his control, making him uneasy, making him feel as if his emotions were being controlled by someone else, which was completely unlike his usual self.

He kept telling himself to only treat his lifeline as medicine. To him, she was just pain relief medication. He told himself this.

Yet he couldn’t deny that these days, he constantly had the urge to see her. To him, she was like a drug, rapidly addicting.

He deliberately suppressed the urge to see her, even if she was his lifeline, he didn’t want to let her easily control his emotions.

But today, when he unintentionally saw her on the street, he couldn’t help but follow her all the way to the library, watching her find a few books in the library and start reading, taking notes.

She had her hair in a ponytail, wearing a cotton light yellow long dress, looking youthful and vibrant. Because she was looking down, her swan neck naturally caught his gaze, a slight reveal of her collarbone at the neckline, and she wore a pair of goose-yellow flat shoes.

Her feet, with graceful lines, looked very petite, giving one the impulse to remove her shoes, to cradle her feet in their hands...

Kyle Kinston tightly pursed his thin lips, wondering what was happening to him?

And not far from Kyle Kinston, were the bodyguards responsible for his safety, all were surprised, glancing at Kyle Kinston and then at the woman engrossed in reading.

Did Mr. Kinston come to the library just to look at a woman?

But the problem was, he looked but didn’t approach and greet her, this... it was just like a high school student experiencing a secret crush!

Secret crush? This term flashed through everyone’s mind, and they exchanged looks.
