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
Mable froze when she realized that her mouth slipped.She knew that Jeremiah had a deep resentment for Blair, so she did not tell him that she was going to see Blair when she went out this morning.Now that she let it slip, she did not hide it anymore and said, “I went to see Spike and happened to check on Blair.”Jeremiah looked at her with a stern expression. “Astrid, I’ve told you to stay away from him. Do you treat my words as if they’re nothing?”“I’m sorry. It’s just that he got injured trying to save me, so...”Jeremiah interrupted her words. “Astrid, you can’t be kind to your enemies. Think about how Blair treated you in the past. Do you want to repeat the same mistakes?”“No, but...”Mable thought of the album she saw in Blair’s room and hesitated.Did Blair love her or not?Mable did not understand. If he did not love her, why would he have her photos by his bedside?Did he write those heartfelt confessions for laughs?That was impossible.Jeremiah saw Mable’s str
Blair had also been finding an opportunity to talk to Jeremiah, but the latter unexpectedly took the initiative to seek him out, so he agreed.When Jeremiah entered, Blair nodded slightly. His sharp features made it impossible for others to discern his emotions.Jeremiah glanced at the assistant behind Blair and said, “I want to talk to you alone.”The implication was that he wanted Amos to leave.Blair raised his hand and said to Amos, “Wait for me outside.”Amos hesitated for a moment but eventually walked out.Soon, only Blair and Jeremiah were left in the room.The atmosphere was slightly cold.Jeremiah sat beside Blair and went straight to the point. “Regarding what happened at the Rothschild Mansion or the accident the other night, I’m grateful to you for saving my sister.”Blair took a sip of tea and said calmly, “No need. Mabes is my wife. Saving her is my duty.”Jeremiah sneered, his golden eyes radiating invisible hostility. “She’s only your wife for now. The divorc
Not long after Jeremiah left in the afternoon, Mable received a message from him.He said that he had forgotten an important document in the study and wanted her to deliver it for him.Mable went to the study, found the document, and went to the location he sent her.Upon arrival, she told the receptionist Jeremiah’s name and was guided to the third floor.Even before reaching the door of the room, she saw a familiar person.“Amos?”What was Blair’s assistant doing here?Was Blair here as well?Amos was also surprised to see Mable. When she approached, he asked, “Madam, what are you doing here?”Mable frowned and did not answer. She looked at the closed room door behind him. “Are Blair and my brother inside?”Jeremiah hesitated but eventually nodded and told the truth. “Yes. Jeremiah arranged a meeting with Master Blair.”Mable’s frown deepened. What did Jeremiah have to discuss with Blair?Just as she was thinking, a sudden noise like porcelain breaking suddenly sounded in
“Mabes...”Blair was just about to say something when the operating room door opened.Mable stopped paying attention to Blair and immediately rushed forward. “Doctor, how is my brother?”The doctor removed his mask and said, “The bleeding has stopped. Fortunately, it wasn’t a critical injury, so his life is not in danger. The patient has been transferred to his ward. He should regain consciousness once the anesthesia wears off...”Mable let out a heavy sigh of relief. “Thank you, Doctor.”The doctor gave her some instructions on what to look out for.When he left, Mable rushed to the ward.Jeremiah wore an oxygen mask. He was still unconscious, and his face was pale as a sheet due to excessive blood loss...Although his life was not in danger, Mable was still filled with worry....Meanwhile, Blair learned of Jeremiah’s condition and left the hospital.Although he wanted to see Mable, he knew that Mable would not meet him now. Even if she did, she would not be happy to see h
