Jeremiah will probably be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Blair was concerned he might hypnotize Spike when he saw him."Alright, Dad," Spike responded. He did not ask why and obediently nodded. He knew it was for his good when Dad said so and did not care about the reason.Blair looked at Tracey and Arthur. "I'll return after dealing with things. You two watch the situation at the Muller Mansion and inform me if anything happens."Tracey and Arthur would continue staying in Italee instead of returning home with Blair."Brother, don't worry. I'll chat with Mabes often and find opportunities to talk to her about the past."The following day, the Muller's driver came to the hotel to pick up Spike. When he arrived at the Muller Mansion, Spike ran to his mommy."Mommy."He had not seen Mommy and Lemon for days and missed them.Although Mable hated Blair, she doted on Spike a lot. She picked him up and led him into the house. Knowing he was coming today, she instructed the ki
"Nicki!" It had been almost two months since Spike last saw Nicki."Hubert!""Nicki, I've brought you lots of gifts." Spike hopped out of the car and instructed the servant to take out his luggage, which contained the gifts he had bought for Nicki.Nicki, with her hair tied in a ponytail and wearing a peach-colored dress, looked lively and adorable at seven years old."Nicki." Blair ruffled Nicki's hair and suddenly thought of Little Lemon.When Lemon grew up, she would probably be just as lively and cute.Nicki glanced at the car but did not see Aunt Mable, so she asked, "Uncle Blair, didn't Aunt Mable come back with you?"Blair's eyes showed a hint of loneliness, and he shook his head slightly. "No, Aunt Mable is still in Italee."Spike held Nicki's hand and led her towards the house. "Nicki, have you been studying well and finished all your homework while I was away?"Nicki replied, "Hubert, I've finished all my homework."The housekeeper, Aunt Grace, prepared tea and drin
Kyle replied, "After the Muller learned that Moon had gone missing, they didn't send anyone to Richworth to find her. Although the police have been searching for her, there have been no leads, and the case has turned cold."Blair listened to Kyle's words, lost in thought. It seemed that the Mullers were quite cold-hearted when it came to family.Kyle continued, "I also discovered that when the Muller's ancestors settled in Richworth, they had a close relationship with your family.""Is that so?" Blair had not heard this from Luke before about the Fowler family. Luke and Anthony were gone now, and there was no more Fowler family.Blair said, "Keep investigating."Kyle nodded, and Blair asked, "How have you and Zoe been lately?"Kyle glanced at Blair and replied, “We’re alright.”Just after he spoke, the phone rang. Kyle checked his phone, seeing a call from Zoe."I need to take this," Kyle said.Blair did not say anything and let him answer the call.Kyle answered, and Zoe's s
Zoe glanced at her ringing phone, setting aside her pen, and debated whether to answer the call. Just then, she heard the sound of a car engine outside.Zoe's eyes lit up. She put down her tablet and quickly got off the couch. ‘It must be Ky coming back!’Zoe ran out and saw Kyle’s car. “Ky!”Kyle walked quickly and embraced Zoe in his arms.Freshly out of the shower, Zoe carried a faint cherry blossom scent. "Why haven't you rested yet?" He asked. Zoe said with a bright smile, "I was waiting for you to return, Ky. Have you had dinner?""I've already eaten," Kyle replied, pulling Zoe into his arms as she approached.Kyle noticed Zoe's phone was still ringing. "Your phone is ringing. Who's calling?""I don't know," Zoe said. "It's an unknown number. They've called twice, but I didn't answer."Kyle took the phone and saw the number starting with 0093, indicating it was a call from Itaee. He grew cautious, suspecting it might be Rory.Kyle's grip tightened on the phone. His e
"Let's settle on that, then.""Yeah, sure." Zoe jumped up, excitedly hugging Kyle. "I promise to stay home and take care of my health. Ky, I love you so much.""Silly girl, I love you too."…The next day.Early in the morning, Kyle went to his study.He called the head of security and reassigned some elite security personnel from the old mansion to the villa just in case.After having breakfast, Kyle headed to the company.Blair had a lot of work to catch up on since his return, and today was filled with meetings.Kyle left the company in the afternoon to pick up Thandi, their business partner.However, not long after leaving the company, Kyle realized he was being followed.His assistant glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"Kyle narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with coldness. "Act like you didn't see it. Don't startle the snake.""Understood."Kyle arrived at the airport, still aware he was being tracked. Thandi was a critical busi
At Sleepless City.Kyle had reserved a private room, but Thandi preferred the lively atmosphere of the main floor. So, they opted for a booth downstairs.Kyle had made all the necessary arrangements to maintain the appearance of a gracious host. The Sleepless City was well known in Richworth for its glamour, and its dancers were second to none.Thandi wasted no time and began to enjoy himself, surrounded by attractive women. Kyle poured him a drink and raised his glass for a toast. At that moment, Kyle's assistant approached him, speaking in hushed tones. "Sir, the person who was tailing us this afternoon has been caught by Thandi's men."Kyle nodded slightly, a faint, almost imperceptible smile on his lips. "Mr. Kyle, I'd like to propose a toast," said Thandi’s goddaughter, Mola, as she raised her glass and sat beside Kyle. Mola was a gorgeous mixed-race woman with well-defined features and fair skin. She had changed into a sparkling, figure-hugging dress for the evening, sh
"I’m sorry, Godfather," Mola said, clenching her fists. She was afraid her godfather would get angry.Thandi wanted to win over Kyle and make him one of their own so that they could maximize their benefits in future collaborations with X. Moreover, Kyle was X's second-in-command and the heir to the prestigious martial arts family, the Goodman family. Partnering with him and leveraging his influence would greatly benefit their business in the future.Kyle took the elevator down to the underground floor, where his car was waiting for him by the entrance. Before getting into the car, he removed his coat and discarded it in the trash can. He did not like the scent of the perfume that Mola, the woman, had left on it.He knew precisely what Thandi was up to. Even if he were not with Zoe now, he would not be interested in Mola. However, he could not refuse directly, so he decided to play along and put on a show for the people secretly tracking him.Once in the car, Kyle checked his phon
Adam looked at the photos, his brows furrowing. Yesterday, he had called the number he found for Kyle's wife, but the person who answered was Kyle himself. Kyle's residence was heavily guarded, and they could not barge in without being confident that Zoe was there.Adam thought deeply for a moment and then went to Rory's room."Rory, I'm planning to go to Richworth," he said.Adam felt the need to investigate Zoe's situation regarding Kyle's pursuit personally.Rory was busy with some paperwork. Without looking up, he replied, "Go ahead, but make sure to bring Zoe back to me, no matter what."Adam hesitated for a moment. He had wanted to ask what to do if Zoe did not want to return. However, he realized the question was meaningless. Rory would not allow Zoe to betray him, and whether she wanted to return was not Zoe's decision."Alright, I'll book a flight for tomorrow," Adam said. "I'll try to wrap things up quickly and head back. You can call me anytime if you need anything
“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
