Mable was speechless.When did she agree to be his dance partner?Before she could react, Blair took her to the dance floor...“What are you doing? Let me go!” Mable wanted to push Blair away, but he held her waist tightly and did not let go.Blair looked down at her and whispered in her ear, “Shh, people are watching.”Then, he changed his posture to hold one of her hands and placed the other on her waist, leaning close to her face. “I helped you out of an awkward situation. Shouldn’t you be thanking me?”Mable raised her head to glare at him, her expression angry. “I never asked for your help!”“But I don’t want to see you in a tough spot.”Not only that, but he also did not want to see her dancing with other men. Thus, when he saw both Alec and Leo asking for a dance, he walked over without thinking.The music played...Mable felt helpless. She could not just push Blair away when surrounded by so many people.In the end, she placed her hand on his shoulder and started dan
The music continued on the dance floor...Mable did not remember when the last time she danced was. She thought that her movements would be stiff, but unexpectedly, Blair and she were in perfect sync.They danced like partners who had rehearsed countless times, in complete harmony.She was initially nervous, but gradually eased into the dance, finding it much more comfortable.Blair looked at her and asked, “Is your hand better?”Mable rolled her eyes. “An injury like that needs a hundred days to heal. What do you think?”Blair pursed his lips. After a while, he said, “I’m sorry.”Mable was stunned. He actually apologized to her.“Crocodile tears!”Blair looked at Mable. Their movements were so in sync. Could it be that they danced together frequently before?At that thought, Blair’s heart started to hurt again. He subconsciously tightened his grip on Mable’s hand.Mable noticed and raised her brows. “Are you hurting again?”Tracey told her that Blair’s heart would hurt whe
Alec froze and looked at Blair in disbelief. “What did you say? Mable is...”Blair explained, “She’s my wife. Due to a little disagreement, she’s temporarily staying at her maiden home.”“No... Jeremiah said that Mable was single. How could she be your wife?”Blair took out his phone and tapped on a photo of himself and Mable.It was a picture forwarded from Spike’s phone.“Mabes’ brother doesn’t approve of us being together, so he claims she’s single.”Alec scrolled through the photos, unable to believe his eyes.It turned out that Mable was Blair’s wife......Mable went to the restroom.She stood in front of the mirror and wiped her mouth with a wet napkin, cursing Blair in her heart.Bastard!How could there be such a despicable man?After wiping for a while, the lipstick on her lips was completely gone. Mable took out her lipstick and reapplied her makeup.At that moment, someone entered the restroom.Nelise entered in her high heels, looking at Mable arrogantly. “W
Blair sent Amos to ask the driver of the Lincoln.After a moment, Amos returned and said to Blair, who was sitting in the backseat, “Master Blair, he’s from the Mullers. He said that Madam hasn’t come out yet, and he’s also waiting for her.”Blair nodded. “Then let’s wait a bit longer.”He wanted to talk to Mable when she came out.Half an hour passed.The banquet ended, and the guests started leaving one by one.When only the Mullers’ and his car were left in the parking lot, Amos muttered, “Why hasn’t she come out yet?”Blair glanced at the time. It was already eleven. Was Mable planning to stay the night here?Just then, the Mullers’ driver came out of the car and spoke with a Rothschild servant.“Go and check,” Blair instructed Amos.Amos went down to check the situation and hurriedly ran back.“Master Blair, the driver called Madam, but no one answered.”Blair frowned, a faint sense of unease rising in his heart.He immediately took out his phone and dialed Mable’s nu
“Send people out to find her!”“Yes!”Alec looked at Blair with a cold expression. “Mr. Fowler, this is Tusk Estate. It’s the territory of the Rothschild family. It’s not a place you can search freely.”Blair’s face was cold. He exuded a powerful aura like a general prevailing on the battlefield. His eyes were fierce and bloodthirsty as he said, “So what? Let me tell you, Alec. If anything happens to my wife, I’ll make the Rothschilds pay a painful price!”Nelise looked at Blair in shock and disbelief. “Mable is...your wife?”Blair looked at Nelise, his dark eyes filled with coldness. “Yes.”Then, he strode out.Alec also did not want anything to happen to Mable and immediately ordered the estate guards to search.He took out his phone, connected to the estate’s network, and quickly accessed all the surveillance cameras in the estate.Then, Blair took out his computer and used Mable’s phone signal to locate her position.Tusk Estate was too large. It would take at least two o
Blair rushed into the building with his men and saw Mable’s bag in the front hall, but Mable was nowhere to be seen.“Ah—!”Just then, there was a scream from the backyard.Blair instantly paled at the sound and ran toward it.“Mable!”He would never mistake Mable’s voice!In the basement, the bloodied man pulled Mable up from the ground, his face twisted into a sinister grin. “No one will come to save you. Everyone outside works for Ms. Nelise!”A commotion of footsteps came from outside. Mable thought they were Nelise’s accomplices, and her eyes filled with despair.The next second, there was a loud bang from the nearby entrance.Blair kicked open the basement door and rushed in. “Mable!”The familiar voice made Mable feel like a person on the brink of death seeing a lifeline...Before she could turn around, the man grabbing her was kicked away.The next moment, her weak body fell into a warm embrace.“Mable! Mabes, are you hurt?” Blair’s arms shook as he held her tightl
If his memory was correct, this man was Nelise’s bodyguard.A hint of panic crossed Nelise’s eyes, but she maintained her composure and asked, “W-What are you looking at me for? I... I don’t know anything.”Blair glanced at Nelise, already having figured out the situation. He turned to Alec, emitting a dominant aura, and said in a chilling voice, “Give me a satisfactory explanation before dawn, or don’t blame me for being impolite!”Mable continued to tremble in his arms. Blair was worried and did not dare to linger, so he quickly carried her out of the estate.As soon as Blair left, Alec kicked the man who was kneeling on the ground, saying furiously, “Speak! Who ordered you to do this?”The man fell to the ground after being kicked and did not dare to get up. “Please have mercy! I was at fault! I saw Ms. Muller drunk and couldn’t control myself.”Alec ignored the man and looked at Nelise beside him. “Did you order him?“Do you know that by doing this, you’ve offended both the
Blair had the driver take them to the nearest hotel when he realized it was too late to reach the hospital. He carried Mable into the room, drenched in sweat, and placed her in the bathtub before turning on the water.The icy water cascaded down, offering some relief from the pain. Mable lay half-submerged at the tub's edge, gasping for air like a stranded fish on a beach."Master Blair, the ice is here." Amos' voice came from outside.Blair stepped out and soon returned with a bucket of ice. He emptied all the ice into the tub immediately with a splash. The shock of the cold made Mable shiver, but it also suppressed the burning sensation in her body.She raised her head and saw Blair unbuttoning his shirt. Instinctively, she moved aside. "What are you doing?"Mable tried to evade, but he held her in place with his arm around her. "Mable, don't move."Blair lifted Mable in the water and used a handheld showerhead to spray cold water on her neck. It helped lower her skin tempera
“Arthur proposed to Tracey?!”In the afternoon, Tracey posted several photos of her and Arthur in a hot air balloon. In one of the photos, she held a bouquet with a dazzling ring on her ring finger.[Yes, I do.]That was the caption.Blair hugged Mable and nodded with a smile. “Yeah, Arthur proposed to her today. Trace called to say they’ll prepare for the wedding after they return from their trip.”“That’s great!”Mable was sincerely happy for Tracey and Arthur.She asked Blair, “Do they have any ideas for the wedding? We can help them prepare in advance.”Blair said, “We can call Trace and ask.”Mable looked at the time. It was midnight in Monafett, and she did not want to disturb them by calling at this hour. She smiled and said, “I’ll call her tomorrow.”Getting two good news in a row today made Mable feel particularly good. After dinner, she could not help but want to drink some wine to celebrate.Blair had not drunk for a long time, either. Seeing her in high spirits,
Kyle stared into Zoe’s eyes. He had indeed noticed it, but he was not sure yet.However, when Zoe called him by his full name, he was completely certain.Zoe had regained her memories.From the moment she woke up, her emotions had been off. Even Monica noticed something wrong with her, so how could he not have seen it?Kyle looked at Zoe, reaching out to brush the hair by her temples. “It’s been a long time since you called me that.”Zoe had not called him since waking up, but as soon as she did, she called him Kyle instead of Ky. He knew then she must have remembered everything.Although Kyle knew that this day would come sooner or later, he did not expect her to regain her memories at this moment.He was completely unprepared and caught off guard.Zoe lowered her head. “That’s what I used to call you, but you tricked me into calling you Ky.”She remembered everything as soon as she woke up.The events that happened when she had forgotten felt like a dream, too surreal to be
Kyle named the baby Six not only because he was born at 6 pounds and 6 ounces but also because June 6th was the day they first met.He would always remember the scene when he first saw Zoe, even though their relationship started with deception, manipulation, and even revenge.Kyle caressed Zoe’s cheek and said, “Zoe, I’ve never told you this, but I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. It was love at first sight.“I want you to stay by my side forever and let me stay by your side forever. I’ll never let you go again in this lifetime.”Zoe’s eyes slowly reddened as she listened to Kyle’s heartfelt words.Indeed, she never knew he fell in love with her at first sight...They both did.Kyle gently wiped away her tears. “Zoe, I promise you. We’ll only part in death, never in life.”Zoe choked and nodded, burying her face in his chest as she cried.In her arms, Six seemed to sense his mother’s emotions and moved restlessly.Zoe quickly comforted him.“Let me.” Kyle took the
At the hospital. When Zoe woke up again, it was already the next morning.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Kyle sitting by her bedside.Kyle noticed her waking up and quickly held her hand. “Zoe, you’re awake. How do you feel?”Zoe stared at the man in front of her and blinked, feeling shocked.When she did not answer, Kyle immediately became nervous. “What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”Zoe remained silent and continued to stare at him. Her eyes gradually turned red, and her nose tingled with a strong sense of sourness.Kyle’s heart clenched at the sight. “Zoe, don’t scare me like this. Zoe...”He was getting anxious and was just about to call the doctor when she suddenly grabbed his hand. “I... I’m okay. I just had a nightmare. I’m a bit groggy after waking up.”Kyle hugged her, his warm hand gently patting her back. “It’s okay. I’ve been by your side all along.”Zoe buried her face in his shoulder, softly humming without saying anything.At that mom
“I see.”Outside the delivery room, Kyle’s family and the others were still waiting anxiously.Close to midnight, the door finally opened, and the nurse carried the baby out.“It’s a boy. Both mother and son are safe.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.Before long, Zoe was pushed out. Monica checked on the baby before hurriedly walking to Zoe’s side and taking her hand. “Zoe, you did so well.”“I’m okay, Mom.”Zoe was still very weak after just giving birth, and her voice was weak. Monica immediately told her husband to call the servants to brew a tonic and sent it over.Mable walked to Zoe and felt her heart ache when she saw the latter’s pale face, but she smiled and said, “Congratulations, Zoe.”Zoe smiled, no longer having the strength to speak.Blair and Solomon congratulated Kyle.Kyle nodded, not paying attention to them, and took Zoe back to the ward with the nurse.Zoe was a first-time mother, so she was extremely exhausted after giving birth an
As soon as Mable learned that Zoe was about to go into labor, she rushed to the hospital immediately. It was late at night, and Blair was worried, so he accompanied her.When the two arrived at the hospital, Zoe had already been taken into the delivery room. Kyle followed her in, but his parents waited anxiously outside.Mable looked at Monica and Floyd and asked, “Isn’t Zoe’s due date still about ten days away? Why did it suddenly come early?”Monica said, “We’re not sure, either. After dinner tonight, Zoe said her stomach was hurting. Kyle helped her upstairs to rest, but not long after, he called for someone to prepare the car to go to the hospital...”Seeing Mable stare anxiously at the delivery room, Blair held her hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry. Zoe has been healthy her whole pregnancy. There shouldn’t be any problems.”Mable nodded. “Yeah, I hope both the mother and child are safe.”Soon, Solomon and Ines also arrived.Solomon greeted Kyle’s parents and asked, “How
Without saying anything, Solomon placed his behind Ines’ head and kissed her.Ines wrapped her arms around his waist...Knock, knock!The untimely sound of knocking interrupted them.Ines jumped like a startled deer, eyes wide and cheeks red.The servant’s voice came from outside. “Sir, dinner is ready.”Solomon hugged Ines and cleared his throat. “Got it. We’ll be right there.”The servant acknowledged and left.Ines buried her head in Solomon’s chest and took a deep breath before saying, “Let’s go. Don’t want your parents to wait too long.”“Yeah.”Solomon stroked her head and looked at the drawing he had just completed. “Once it’s dry, I’ll have it framed and hang it in the bedroom, okay?”Ines asked, “In this bedroom?”Solomon nodded and kissed her forehead. “Yeah, we’ll probably come back to stay here often in the future.”Ines pursed her lips and smiled silently.“Let’s go have dinner.” Solomon led her downstairs.After having dinner at the Rowland residence, Solom
Solomon embraced Ines from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. “I learned to draw when I was young and almost did fine arts for college.”“Why didn’t you?”Winning first prize in a national art competition indicated a high level of drawing skill.Solomon said, “Painting is just one of my many interests. I do it to pass the time when I’m bored. I’ve never thought of becoming an artist.”Ines nodded. “I see.”Solomon suddenly perked up and opened a small cabinet beside the bookshelf, taking out a canvas and some paints. “Come on, I’ll draw a portrait.”Ines was stunned. “Of me?”“Yep. Give me a moment.”Solomon led Ines to sit on the sofa, then went out to find a servant to bring him the easel.Although he had not painted in many years, he still had all the tools he used before.Before long, the servant helped him bring in the easel and other tools.After looking at the layout of the bedroom, Solomon asked Ines to sit in the soft chair by the window, where the lighting w
Ines blinked. “I was just thinking about what to bring to your house tomorrow. I can’t go empty-handed...”Solomon laughed at her words. “You don’t need to bring anything. Just seeing you will make them happy.”“That won’t do. I still need to buy something.”Although she knew that Solomon’s parents did not lack anything, she could not just go without a gift. It was still necessary to have proper etiquette.Ines was a little nervous at the thought of visiting his parents tomorrow. “Can you tell me what your parents are like?”Solomon noticed her nervousness and squeezed her hand. “Don’t worry. My mom and dad are very nice. They won’t make things difficult for you.”Ines looked at him and nodded.With him by her side, she was not that worried.She heard Solomon say that his father liked tea, so she bought a gift box from the supermarket. In addition, she also brought some nutritional supplements to bring along when they go to Solomon’s house tomorrow.After buying everything, th
