Rory did not stay at the Muller Manor for long and left around noon. As he was leaving, he asked Mable, "Mable, are you still not considering marrying me?"Mable's expression stiffened momentarily, unsure why he was bringing this up again. "No, I'm not considering it," she replied hesitantly.Rory did not seem surprised by her answer. He nodded thoughtfully and then walked away.Meanwhile, Blair returned with Spike to the hotel on the other side of town. Spike eagerly showed his father his photos of his little sister. "Daddy, look. I took many pictures of my little sister yesterday."Blair took the phone and looked at the photos of his daughter. "She's adorable. Her eyes are gorgeous; when she smiles, it's like a little crescent moon. This one was taken in the garden, with many peach trees and butterflies. She loves chasing butterflies. This one was taken during dinner; she doesn't know how to use chopsticks, so she's holding a spoon and making a mess. She looks like a little kit
Blair walked into his study and answered a video call from Dr. Sandman."Dr. Sandman.""Master Blair, is there something you need?" Dr. Sandman was sitting by the window, looking at the evening sky.Blair began, "I've regained my memory."Dr. Sandman's face lit up with surprise upon hearing this. "Master Blair, you've regained your memory! When did this happen?"Blair was aware Dr. Sandman knew about his memory loss. He had even treated him for it, acknowledging the unpredictability of the condition."Last night," Blair replied.Dr. Sandman paused for a moment, his expression turning concerned. "Master Blair, how did you regain your memory?""I found my wife; she's still alive."Blair recounted the events to Dr. Sandman. He listened attentively as he explained everything.Dr. Sandman's expression grew increasingly severe as he listened to Blair's story."Master Blair, is your wife all right? How about the poison from back then?""Her poisoning should have been cured, and he
"Master Blair, how are you feeling now? Do you still experience any chest pains?" Dr. Sandman inquired.Blair put his hand on his chest, shook his head slightly. "Yes, but it's not as intense as before."Dr. Sandman nodded, expressing concern. "Master Blair, you are currently abroad. When do you plan to return to our country? I want to perform a detailed medical examination on you.""I estimate it will be some time before I return," replied Blair.Mable was currently in Italee. Blair would not return until her memory had fully recovered. He wanted to be around her closer."Dr. Sandman, do you know when I was poisoned?"Dr. Sandman replied, "I speculate it happened during your coma."Blair pondered momentarily, a hint of darkness flashing in his eyes. When Mable went missing, he had been in a coma for over two months. During that time, there had been ample opportunity for someone to poison him.However, who could it be?He was confident Tracey and Solomon would not poison him.
The Muller Manor had surveillance cameras installed in many places, including the children's playroom where Lemon often spent time. When Mable was not at home, she would check the surveillance to see how Lemon was doing.Mable looked at the suddenly rotating surveillance camera, feeling somewhat strange. Why was the camera moving on its own? Mable was about to check the camera when someone opened the children's room door.Jeremiah walked in from outside, carrying a box of pastries.Mable looked at him and smiled. "Hey, you're back.""Yeah. There wasn't much to do at the company this afternoon, so I returned early," Jeremiah replied.Jeremiah glanced at Lemon, sleeping on the sofa, and handed the box to Mable. "I passed by that coffee shop you like, and their cheesecakes just came out at this time, so I bought some.""Thank you, brother." Mable opened the box, revealing six exquisite cheesecakes that were quite appetizing.Jeremiah sat down on the sofa, gently stroking Lemon's
When Mable heard this, her heart tightened. She quickly said, "Jeremiah, you can't!"Jeremiah furrowed his brow and squinted when he saw Mable becoming nervous. "Astrid, have you forgotten how he hurt you in the past? Do you want to reconcile with him?""No," Mable replied.Mable looked at her brother earnestly. "I haven't forgotten the pain he caused me in the past, and I've never thought about reconciling with him. It's just that, no matter what, Blair is Spike and Little Lemon’s biological father. If you kill him, how will I face our two children in the future?"Mable pursed her lips and spoke with a heavy tone. "Especially Spike. He has a deep connection to Blair."Jeremiah frowned. His gaze shifted to Lemon, sleeping soundly on the couch. What Mable said made sense; they could not ignore the feelings of the two children."Astrid, look into your brother's eyes and tell me honestly. Are you just hesitating to act against Blair because of our children, or do you still have feel
In a few days, Blair called Mable and asked her out for dinner. She had agreed to have a meal with him when he came to pick up Spike from her home. Today, Mable had another motive — she wanted to discuss their divorce.The restaurant was Blair's choice. Mable, who had a meeting at her company in the morning, drove to the restaurant in the afternoon. It was a restaurant not far from her workplace.When Mable got out of the car, Spike saw and waved at her. Her eyes lit up. She did not expect Blair to bring Spike along."Apologies for keeping you waiting," Mable said, walking over and ruffling Spike's hair.Blair stood up to pull out a chair for Mable and spoke in a gentle tone, "It's fine. We arrived early."Blair was dressed in a black suit today, and his silver hair appeared striking under the restaurant's lights. Spike held Mable's hand and asked, "Mommy, how's your foot?""It's almost healed," Mable replied.Blair fixed his gaze on Mable. He had anticipated that her foot inj
Mable sipped her soup and spoke casually, "I look exactly like my mother."Blair raised an eyebrow, now understanding.Mable could not enjoy the food; she just wanted it to end. Spike seemed to sense that Mable wanted to talk to Blair alone, so after finishing his meal, he said, "Mom, Dad, take your time eating. I'm going to the mall to buy a gift for Nicki. I'll be back later."Mable was concerned. "Are you going alone?"Spike replied, "Mommy, don't worry. I'll ask Uncle Amos to accompany me."Blair nodded. "Alright, go ahead and buy the gift. Come back soon."Once Spike left, Mable dropped her forced smile. Her expression returned to its usual cold demeanor. Blair tried to serve her more food, saying, "Eat a little more; you've become so thin."Mable put down her utensils, "I'm full." She looked at Blair and asked, "Blair, have you considered the divorce?"Blair lifted his teacup and sipped before responding, "No, I haven't considered it, and I won't."He had worked hard to
Mable's words were like sharp daggers, piercing Blair's heart with every syllable. He stared at Mable, feeling an unbearable pain, almost unable to breathe.She hated him, and wished she could kill him. However, she was also the love of his life, someone he was willing to give his life for.Blair gazed at Mable momentarily. Then, he spoke, his voice heavy with emotion. "Mabes, I admit I've caused you pain and suffering. I won't deny that. But those hurts and misunderstandings between us were the result of mistrust and miscommunication. We cleared up all the past misunderstandings and opened our hearts to each other. After that, we were genuinely happy together."If it were not for her life hanging by a thread due to poisoning, they might have continued their happiness."Blair, do you really think I'll believe your words?" Mable's lips curved into a cold, mocking smile, showing she did not believe his words.After a pause, Mable suddenly realized something and looked at Blair with
“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
