Chapter 943:
Seeing his resistance, Mabel placed her hands on her hips and marched up to him. “Whether you like it or not,
you're stuck withnow. I'm your girlfriend, and I'm not going to hurt you.”
Hyde turned his head slightly, avoiding her gaze. “Someone likedoesn’t deserve your care. You should stay
away. People likeare meant to be alone.”
Mabel frowned. “Stop talking like that. | don’t think any less of you, so don’t put yourself down. What do you
even mean by ‘people like you’? Explain it to me.” But Hyde remained silent, refusing to answer.

Frustrated by his attitude, Mabel clenched her fists but reminded herself of all the effort she'd put into winning
over such a difficult man. Swallowing her frustration, she said firmly, “It's decided. Tomorrow, we're buying the

Suddenly, an idea crossed her mind. She yawned tically and stretched. “Where's your guest room? It's

Hyde could see through her act and chuckled to himself. It wasn’t surprising that Kaelyn didn’t take Mabel

Geraldine lifted her chin, a touch of pride in her voice. “Just because you couldn't find it doesn’t mean | can't.
After rehearsal, I'll take you to the store myself.”
Elyse nodded, still smiling. “Sure. Thanks.”

Edward, overhearing the conversation, slipped closer. “Are you two going shopping? I'm coming along. You're not

Elyse glanced at him, confused. How had he heard them when they were speaking so quietly?
Darren joined in, grinning as he approached Elyse. “Where are you going? I'm in. Vicky went home, so I've got no

chatting, excitedly planning where to go next.
