As Cyrus suddenly appeared at the doorway, Donald's initial attempt to push Mabel away abruptly halted. Instead, he tightly grasped Mabel's hand, meeting Cyrus's gaze with a provocative look.
Cyrus's eyes fell on their clasped hands and Donald's half-open shirt, his expression instantly darkening.
Mabel, startled by Cyrus's appearance, felt a surge of panic but quickly regained her composure. She felt the warmth of Donald's hand but didn't pull hers away.
Witnessing their attitudes, Cyrus couldn't hold back a cold laugh. "I've only been gone for half a month, and it seems your private life is far from lonely."
Mabel remained silent, but Donald responded on her behalf, "In what capacity are you saying this, Mr. Quinn? As far as I know, Mabel is single and has nothing to do with you."
