CHAPTER 507: CHAPTER 525 CLIMBING THE MOUNTAIN

Kyle Kinston nodded and said, "Alright."

Alice Conley said, "Dorian Howards, you... you can put me down. Look, I can walk by myself. My foot doesn’t hurt that much now."

But no one paid attention to her words, and Dorian Howards kept striding forward briskly.

Mabel Quinn stared blankly at the departing Dorian Howards, then looked at Kyle Kinston, "This... with Dorian carrying Alice up the mountain like that, there won’t be any issues, right?"

"No problem." Kyle Kinston said casually, "Don’t be fooled by the fact that Dorian usually works in an office, his physical strength isn’t bad. Even if he had to carry two Alices, he could climb the mountain."

Mabel Quinn couldn’t help but smile, "Then let’s go too."

As she said this, she was about to step forward.

He grabbed her hand with a slight force and pulled her into his arms, "You smiled." His deep black eyes fixedly gazed at her as he spoke.

"Huh?" She was startled, had she just smiled?

He said, "Since the explosion incident, you haven’t smiled much. Smile once more, okay? I want to see you smile more often." Her worried frown always left him at a loss, unsure of what to do to make her a little happier.

And just now, he had a hard time catching her smile—the sunlight through the treetops fell on her face, illuminating her smile, precious as a jewel.

Unwilling for her smile to be so fleeting.

In her almond-shaped eyes was his image. She knew that these days he had truly been worried about her. Occasionally, when she woke up at night, she would see him still awake, looking concerned, asking if she’d had a nightmare again.

She didn’t know how many times it had happened when she was asleep, yet he remained awake out of concern for her.

Mabel Quinn gently sighed, raised the corners of her lips, and revealed another smile, "Kyle, sorry for worrying you, but I’ll be okay."

He watched her smile almost mesmerized, and then unconsciously, the corners of his own lips lifted slightly, as if as long as she smiled, he would too.

"Tired?" he asked, taking out a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"I’m fine." she said.

"How about I carry you?" he suggested.

"I want to walk up on my own." she said, gazing at the temple tower at the mountaintop, "Maybe that way, it’ll be more sincere, and wishes will come true more easily."

"Do you have a wish you want to ask the Bodhisattva for?" he asked.

"Yes, I do." she said, taking his hand in hers, "Let’s go, otherwise Alice and the others will be waiting."

In the mountain forest, under the shade of trees, amidst birdsong... as if in the most beautiful scenery, she met the most beautiful person...

Mabel Quinn and Alice Conley met up smoothly at the entrance of the mountain temple. Alice’s face was red, and Mabel Quinn’s face was similarly a little flushed.

And so the two best friends, you looked at me, I looked at you, communicating more without words than with.

Kyle Kinston and Dorian Howards chatted a few more words as if nothing unusual. The four of them entered the temple, with Alice Conley pulling Mabel Quinn ahead, and Dorian Howards and Kyle Kinston following behind.
