Blair thought it was Alec's call and did not even glance at his phone as he headed toward the study. Fortunately, Tracey looked at the phone screen and saw the caller ID “Mabes.""Hey, it's Mabes calling," Tracey shouted.Blair, just at the study door, heard Tracey's words and immediately turned around. He picked up his phone, and his eyes softened as he read the caller's name.Blair picked up the phone and moved aside, answering, "Hello, Mabes."His tone was incredibly gentle, a far cry from his previous demeanor.The next moment, a familiar voice came from the phone. "Blair."Blair stood by the French windows, gazing into the distance as he replied, "Mabes, I'm here."As long as she called, he would be there. Always.On the other end of the line, Mable hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you injured?"Blair looked down at the wound on his arm that had just been bandaged and smiled faintly. "Mabes, are you worried about me?"Mable, on the other end of the phone, fell
Mable could not believe what she had just heard. She had even thought about going to see him earlier.Mable leaned on the balcony railing, her heart in turmoil."Mommy, I want a hug,” came the sweet voice of Lemon from inside the room.Mable snapped back to reality and hurriedly returned to the room.Lemon sat on the bed, extending her arms, wanting her mommy to pick her up. "Mommy, bedtime. Sing Twinkle, Twinkle."Mable hugged Lemon, planting a gentle kiss on her soft cheek. "Sure. Let Mommy freshen up and then I'll sing Twinkle, Twinkle for you, my little sweetheart.""Okay, Mommy." Lemon clutched the giraffe plushie her brother had given her and obediently crawled under the blanket.When her phone started ringing, Mable had just gone to the bathroom to freshen up."Mommy," Lemon called out, but her voice was so soft that Mable did not hear.So, Little Lemon picked up the ringing phone and received the call.“Mabes,” Blair’s voice was heard over the phone.Lemon looked at
In Saint Rosa Hotel, Blair sat on the couch in the bedroom, staring at a photo of Lemon on his phone. With his low voice, he began to sing nursery rhymes...Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the phone. “Lemon has fallen asleep...”Blair was startled. “Mabes...”He sang several times and received no response from Lemon, so he guessed that she might have fallen asleep. However, he did not stop.It was a rare opportunity to sing a lullaby for his daughter, so he wanted to sing a little longer.He hoped that his voice would bring her sweet dreams.“Lemon’s sleeping face must be very cute.”Over the phone, Mable snorted softly and said with a coy tone, “My daughter is always cute whether she’s asleep or not.”“Heh.”Blair chuckled. “Mabes, she’s our daughter.”Mable did not want to talk to him about Lemon and changed the topic. “Why did you call me?”Blair said, “You’re a doctor, so I wanted to ask what medicine is good for wound infection.”Blair glanced at the medicine on t
Mable hesitated and said, “I’m not going to the office. There’s something I need to take care of.”Jeremiah did not pursue the topic and nodded. At any rate, he had the day off today and nothing else to do at home.After breakfast, Mable went out.She deliberated all night before finally deciding to see Blair.After all, he got injured trying to save her. She had a moral obligation to visit him.When she arrived at the hotel, she was just about to knock on the door when it opened from the inside.Blair stood by the door, wearing a well-ironed suit. He looked handsome and exuded extraordinary charm.Behind him were Amos and Arthur. They looked like they were about to go out.“Mabes?” An imperceptible trace of surprise and happiness flashed in Blair’s eyes when he saw Mable.“Are you going out?” Mable asked.She thought that he would stay at the hotel to recover from his injury today.“Yeah...” Blair glanced at the medicine box in Mable’s hand and immediately said, “We’re goin
Blair raised his brows. Although he had expected Remus to find him personally, he did not think it would be so soon.“Remus?” Mable looked at Bair. “The head of the Rothschild family?”Blair nodded. “Let him in.”Amos responded and went out.Not long after, he returned with an elderly man with graying hair.Despite being in his seventies, as the head of the Rothschilds, Remus looked spirited and had sharp features and keen eyes.He held a diamond-studded cane symbolizing his status and authority in the family.It was Mable’s first time meeting the head of the Rothschilds. Surprisingly, he looked rather kind, contrary to his rumored fierceness.Remus looked at Blair and spoke fluently in Italeean, “Mr. Fowler, it’s been a long time.”They had crossed paths at a party several years ago.Blair stood up and shook Remus’ hand. “Mr. Remus.”Remus’ gaze shifted to Mable, and he said with a faint smile, “You must be Mrs. Fowler. Hello.”Mable nodded politely. “Nice to meet you.”S
Mable nodded. “Yeah. He has a guest, so I came here.”Spike asked, “Don’t leave so soon, Mommy. Let’s have lunch together later.”Mable did not have anything to do in the afternoon, so she agreed.Spike had just finished exercising and was sweating all over. By the time he took a shower and got ready, it was almost lunchtime.Mable and Tracey took Spike to the hotel’s restaurant. Just as they sat down, Blair arrived.“Blair, you’re here. Sit here.” Tracey tactfully vacated the seat next to Mable for Blair.Mable looked at Blair and asked, “Has Remus left?”Blair nodded. “Yeah.”Tracey ordered the food, and soon, the table was filled.Mable served a bowl of Spike’s favorite tomato soup.Spike looked at her. “Mommy, Daddy’s right hand is injured, and he can’t move it much. Can you help him with the dishes?”Mable paused and glanced at Blair sitting beside her.He sat there, sipping tea with his left hand while his injured right hand rested on the table, not touching the cutle
After having lunch with Spike at the hotel, Mable was about to go home.Just then, Amos came back with the medicine.Blair glanced at it and frowned. “It looks very bitter. I won’t take it.”Mable heard those words and gave him a look. “You’re an adult. Aren’t you embarrassed at being afraid of bitterness?”That said, she also disliked bitterness and had to prepare preserved fruits or candies every time she had bitter medicine...Blair looked at her and smiled faintly. “You’re one to talk. I remember I had to coax you a whole day every time you took medicine...”Mable’s lips twitched. She did not expect Blair to say that.He remembered that she disliked bitterness and even coaxed her into taking medicine...Spike laughed and seemed to understand his father’s intentions. “Daddy, do you want Mommy to coax you into taking medicine?”Before Blair could speak, Mable said bluntly, “No way.”He was not a child and did not need someone to coax him to take medicine. That was too child
Was it tears?Was he crying when he wrote these words?Wait for me.What was that supposed to mean?Mable did not understand. Why would Blair put their photos on his bedside and write so many affectionate words?Why would he do this if he did not love her?However, if he loved her, then why would he treat her like that...In her memory, Blair was a cold and heartless person. When she was critically ill, he had an affair with another woman, even shamelessly bringing his mistress back to bed at their home...“Did you find it?” Blair’s voice came from outside.Mable snapped back to reality and immediately closed the album, placing it under the pillow. She took the bottle of preserved plum and went outside.Blair was just about to enter the bedroom when she came out.“I found it.” She passed the bottle to him.Blair took it, opened it, and brought a piece to Mable’s mouth. “You used to love these.”Mable was stunned and instinctively opened her mouth.The preserved plum was s
“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
