Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife

Chapter 1019 - 1058: What Right Do I Have?

"Is it about Aunt Clover?" Mabel Quinn asked, "Earlier, did my uncle... um, mistake me for Aunt Clover?"

Thinking about how she bears some resemblance to Clover, and earlier her uncle was muttering something about being sorry, something about mistakes, it seemed that might be the only reason.

Edward Quinn exhaled deeply and said, "It is related to Clover, I suppose." He stared at her, recalling her views on whether she would ever find her biological parents. At that time, she had said that if her parents intentionally didn’t want her, then she would prefer never to find them.

If she were to learn that he is her biological father and knew everything that happened back then, would she blame him as her father? Blame his endless suspicion and jealousy, blame him for driving her biological mother insane, and even now, her mother remains missing!

Would she still trust him, be close to him, and look at him with a smile like she does now?

Mabel didn’t dare to ask her uncle what he was thinking earlier regarding Aunt Clover; after all, whatever made him lose control mustn’t be any good.

So she took out a key and said, "Uncle, I’m here to return this key to you. I’ve already moved everything out and cleaned up the apartment."

Edward Quinn looked at the key Mabel handed over with a complicated expression; was this fate? He let her live in Clover’s apartment.

"You should keep this key," Edward Quinn said, "Consider the apartment... as part of your dowry from me." The word "uncle" was spoken with difficulty from his lips.

"There’s no need," Mabel quickly said, "You’ve given me enough already, besides, this place originally belonged to Aunt Clover. Maybe when she comes back, she’ll want to see it again."

She spoke while placing the key on the desk, then awkwardly said, "Uncle, I’ll be leaving now." After witnessing an elder cry like that, she felt a bit uneasy.

Just as Mabel was about to leave the study, Edward Quinn suddenly said, "I... I’ll walk you out."

"Oh, there’s no need..."

"I’ll walk you out!" Edward Quinn interrupted Mabel, insisting.

Hearing this, Mabel didn’t persist anymore, and the two walked towards the parking area. Edward suddenly asked, "If someday your biological parents find you, but you discover that one of them made a huge mistake, causing them to lose you, would you forgive them?"

Mabel hesitated for a moment, then said, "That would depend on the type of mistake, although... blood ties can’t be changed. No matter what mistakes they made, they are still my parents. But if they deliberately lost me, never wanted me, then I think it would be hard for me to have feelings for them. Giving birth but never raising me—what remains besides blood ties?"

Her words made his steps halt, his chest filled with pain.

Indeed, he never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, and back then, he even hoped she wouldn’t be born.

Now, what right does he have to ask her to call him father?
