"Let go of me!" Mabel Quinn hissed under her breath. This was a parking lot—sure, there weren’t many people at this hour, but someone could show up at any moment. If anyone saw this scene, there’d be no way to explain it clearly!

But he still held her tightly. "Promise me," Kyle Kinston said.

What the hell is this! Mabel was speechless. "Fine, fine, I promise you. As long as you don’t lay a hand on Atlas, I won’t say anything like that again."

Only then did he finally let out a long breath at her words, and his whole body seemed to have been drained of strength all at once. He leaned his head wearily against her shoulder.

"Don’t fall in love with anyone else. You and I depend on each other to survive..." he murmured. "In this lifetime, the only person you’re allowed to love is me."

To Mabel, those words were unbearably ironic. Once, hadn’t he said the same kind of thing to her? But in the end, they had never truly relied on each other to live. And she would never let herself fall in love with him again.

"I don’t know if I’ll ever fall in love with someone else, but I definitely won’t fall in love with you." She heard her own voice saying this to him.

The next second, he straightened up, his phoenix eyes locked onto her, thin lips pressed tight, his face completely drained of color.

In the end, Kyle Kinston left without another word. When Mabel Quinn got back into the car, she felt a little weak in her hands and feet. She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. Everything in the past had already become the past.

Maybe the way he was clinging to her now was only because he was under the influence of those old feelings. As long as he didn’t remember, then she was only Alexander Quinn.

Once he left G City, there would naturally be nothing between them anymore.

Only then did she start the car and drive out of the parking lot.

When she went to the kindergarten to pick up her daughter, she didn’t notice that, not far away in the shadows, someone was standing there.

Right now, as Francine Howards personally watched Mabel Quinn walking out while holding that little girl, she could be completely sure that this child had to be Kyle’s.

Compared to the photo, that pair of phoenix eyes on the real person only looked even more like his!

She never would’ve thought Mabel Quinn could be this lucky—not only had she not died, she’d even given Kyle a daughter. But if she could make such a connection just from a photo, what about Kyle? When he saw that little girl, would he suspect that she was his own child?

If that happened, even if Kyle never got his memories back, it didn’t mean he’d be stupid enough not to think about his past with Mabel Quinn. And as for that past, all he had to do was ask her cousin or Alice Conley, and he’d know everything!

By then, no matter what Mabel Quinn herself wanted, Kyle would most likely insist on bringing this child back into the Kinston family.

In Francine Howards’s eyes, this child was like a powerful bond tying Kyle Kinston and Mabel Quinn together. She absolutely could not allow that to happen!

Even if it was a bond, she would make sure that bond disappeared!

The response regarding Mabel Quinn’s script draft had already come back. The film and television Corporation was very satisfied with this script. After all, there weren’t many detective-romance type TV series on the market at the moment. If the quality of the work was good, it would be easy for it to stand out.

The producers hoped the script could first be made into a 20-episode first season. If the drama received a good response, they would move on to film a second and third season.
