"But I haven't finished reading it yet." Dorian Howards said, of course, that's not the point. The point is if his friend takes this book back, it's very likely that Mabel Quinn will know about it, and if Mabel knows, then Alice Conley might find out too.
To be honest, Dorian Howards absolutely doesn't want Alice Conley to find out that he has bought such a book.
"Then just buy another one." Kyle Kinston said, taking the book and leaving straightforwardly.
Dorian Howards was speechless, so he not only has to buy one book, but two?!
And that Alice, if she finds out he bought this kind of book, who knows what she'll say. Just thinking about Alice makes Dorian feel like his heart and liver are aching again.
Heart, liver! That's what they call a precious darling, isn't it?

Mabel Quinn saw the book Kyle Kinston was reading and was quite surprised. After all, a book like "One Hundred Ways to Win a Woman's Heart" doesn't seem to fit Kyle Kinston's usual image.
