CHAPTER 543: CHAPTER 562: LOVE ONLY ONE PERSON FOR A LIFETIME

"Are you so certain?" he said.

"Yes, I’m certain." She looked at him calmly, "Just like that book, ’Sound of the Wind’, to me, you’re the little brother from my childhood, a friend through hard times, but I never fell in love with you. Just like Ning An in the book, who has a corner of her heart for Liam Xenos, but the one she truly loves has never been Liam Xenos."

He suddenly took two steps toward her, "Isn’t there a possibility for Ning An to fall in love with Liam Xenos?"

"Ning An’s love was only for Caspian. If love can change so easily, then how can such feelings be called love?" Mabel Quinn said, "I thought love should be the kind where you only love one person your whole life, and no one else. Before I met Kyle Kinston, I never considered this kind of love because it felt like something that only exists in novels. But after meeting Kyle and falling in love with him, I felt like, ah, it’s him, it can only be him, the one I’ll truly love in my lifetime!"

This was the first time she so openly analyzed her feelings in front of Daniel Harris.

Even if it might be cruel to Daniel Harris, it was better to have short pain than long pain.

Daniel Harris suddenly burst out laughing, yet his laughter carried a trace of sobbing, "Hahaha...haha... you say the only one you’ll truly love is him? But... but..."

He suddenly lunged two steps forward, and she instinctively reached out to steady him, only for him to grab her hand fiercely and then he touched and clasped her shoulders, "Mabel Quinn, the only one I’ve truly loved will only be you. Do you know how many years I’ve loved you? Loving someone whose face I don’t even know, whose name was wrong from the start, do you know how many times over the years I’ve repeatedly gone over our memories in my mind? Even that bracelet you made back then, the pattern of it in my memory, how many times over the years have I etched it in my mind?"

Daniel Harris growled lowly, and in front of her now, everything finally poured out.

Never had he laid his emotions so bare before her like this.

Mabel bit her lip, feeling waves of pain from her shoulders, but she knew now was not the time to cry out in pain, "Perhaps who you love isn’t really me, maybe it’s just that childhood bond that makes you feel you need to repay me. This isn’t true love, it’s more like a misdirected love."

"It’s not a false love," he denied, "If it were the wrong kind of love you describe, then when Grace Yowell took your identity, I should have fallen in love with her, shouldn’t I? But no, I didn’t love her. Until I saw you, did this heart of mine once again start to feel. That’s why I approached you, why I couldn’t help but want to see you more."

If only he had believed in this feeling at that time, how great would that have been? There wouldn’t have been so many ups and downs between them.

"Say no more. Let’s go down the mountain," Mabel Quinn said, "In this world, there aren’t that many ’ifs’. All this, saying more has no meaning anymore."

"Yeah, no meaning anymore." Daniel Harris suddenly let go of her hand, and those unfocused eyes turned dead once more, "You’re about to marry Kyle Kinston, right?"
