CHAPTER 360: CHAPTER 373: THE WRAP PARTY

"Hmm." Mabel Quinn responded, "I chatted with Granny Taylor for a while. Granny Taylor got tired and went to sleep first, so I came out."

"Why aren’t you wearing the ring?" Edward Quinn glanced at Mabel Quinn’s hand and asked.

"That ring is too precious, I’m afraid of losing it, so I put it away." Mabel answered.

"Jade, at the end of the day, is just a piece of stone, nothing too precious about it. Next time you come to this mansion, wear the ring, okay? Consider it a request from me." Edward said.

Such a request, no matter how strange it sounded, Mabel Quinn still nodded in agreement.

Once Mabel Quinn walked far away, Edward Quinn lowered his head, looked at his now empty left pinky, and murmured gently, "Clover, I gave the ring you once threw back at me to this child. Will you blame me? Because this child... resembles you a bit, so I want her to wear that ring, just as if you are standing in front of me with that ring again..."

In the murmuring voice, there was endless longing.

The outside world said he didn’t love women, which is why he was alone, childless. The past events were buried in the years, his life’s love already given to a woman in his best years, after which no one else could make him give such love again.

To love one person in a lifetime, so simple, yet so painful, because no matter how many years passed, that person was always engraved in his life, unable to be erased or forgotten.

With the filming of "Sound of the Wind" wrapped up, the crew held a wrap party that all crew members attended. Mabel was no exception.

The most eye-catching at the wrap party were, naturally, the leading actors Grace Yowell and Orion, especially Grace, who seemed to be the center of attention. Many from the crew knew about Grace Yowell’s close relationship with Daniel Harris, especially since Daniel was attending the wrap party today. Many were secretly speculating it was because of Grace.

Some even said that in the future, Grace might marry into the Harris Family and become the mistress of the Harris household. Therefore, more people naturally tried to curry favor with Grace on the spot.

During the party, Mabel stayed with her colleagues from the scriptwriting team. When a colleague suggested they all go to Daniel Harris to toast, Mabel simply said, "You guys go, I won’t."

"Mabel, don’t be like this, just join in for the fun of toasting together," a colleague urged.

Mabel smiled, "I won’t join in the fun."

Seeing this, her colleagues said nothing more.

Mabel then watched from afar as her colleagues went over to Daniel Harris to toast. However, Daniel didn’t raise his glass immediately but was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked over in Mabel Quinn’s direction.

Mabel’s body stiffened as her gaze met Daniel Harris’s.

Those eyes, maybe they were still the eyes in her memory, but the person was no longer the one she remembered. Mabel looked away, no longer looking at Daniel, and started chatting with colleagues from other departments next to her.

About a quarter of an hour later, her colleagues from the scriptwriting team came back after toasting, and one of them said, "I didn’t expect Director Harris to drink a toast with each of us."

"Yeah, I thought Director Harris would refuse, was going to back out, but Director Harris really drank with us," another said.
