The next day, Rory received a message in the morning with a time and place.Without guessing, he immediately knew it was from the man who contacted him the night before.In the afternoon, Rory unusually arrived at the agreed-upon café on time.When he arrived, he immediately spotted a man sitting by the window.The man’s attire was the same as the first few times Rory saw him—a light blue-green robe and long black hair, exuding a somewhat ancient charm...Rory walked over. When the man saw him, he raised his chin slightly and smiled slyly.“Rory, we meet again.”Rory sat down across from him. “I’ve been looking for you for more than three years.”The man held a lotus-pink thermos cup that completely clashed against his demeanor.He glanced at Rory mockingly and teased. “You couldn’t find me even after three years? How incompetent.”He knew that Rory had been searching for him. Blair was also looking for him.However, he did not know why they were looking for him.He intende
Although Wilbur and Yohan studied under the same master, they were arch enemies.Especially after the incident that year, their relationship became even more hostile. If Yohan were still alive, he would not have tried to find Wilbur, let alone let Wilbur live so peacefully all these years.Rory stared at him, confirming from the latter’s words that Wilbur’s relationship with his adoptive father was not good.With that realization, Rory became even more cautious.“It seems you weren’t on good terms with my father.”Wilbur raised his eyes and stared at Rory. “That’s right, but in any case, we studied under the same master. As his junior, I should still pay my respects to him.”Rory refused. “That’s not necessary. Before he passed, my father mentioned he didn’t want unrelated people to disturb his peace.”Wilbur did not get angry and smiled instead. “Is that so? He has always liked peace and quiet. How traditional and boring.”Rory’s expression darkened. “Choose your words wisely,
Rory said, “Not yet. If you want to see it, I can get it for you in a few days.”Wilbur nodded. “I can try, but I can’t guarantee a cure.”“How confident are you?”“Around ten percent.”Rory frowned. “That low?”Wilbur stared at him coldly. “Heh. I’m skilled in medicine, not magic. Not every ailment can be cured!”Rory fell silent.Wilbur stood up and said, “Send me the medical records first. We’ll talk about the details once I see her condition.”Rory asked, “So, is that a yes?”Wilbur nodded. “I have nothing much to do recently, so it wouldn’t hurt to kill some time.”“Okay. I’ll send it to you later.”Wilbur looked at Rory meaningfully, then left the café.Rory watched him leave and narrowed his eyes.“Wilbur Hammond...”He muttered the name. Judging by the name alone, there was indeed a possibility that Wilbur was his adoptive father’s junior.However, why had his adoptive father never mentioned him?Rory felt that the relationship between his adoptive father and Wi
Kyle had been busy discussing the details of cooperation with Thandi these days.They finally settled everything yesterday, so he took some time today to accompany Zoe to the art convention she had been longing to see.The exhibition was held for five days, and today was the last day. There would not be another chance if they did not go today.After breakfast, Kyle took Zoe out.In the car, Zoe held his arm and smiled brightly. “Ky, let’s have lunch at the seafood restaurant after we finish the exhibition. I want to eat seafood.”“Okay.”Kyle looked at her indulgently. “Is there anything else you want other than seafood?”Zoe thought about it. “I also want smoothies and ice cream.”“Eating too much ice is not good for your health.”Zoe hugged him and pouted. “I haven’t had them in a long time. Just this once, okay? I won’t eat them next time.”Kyle chuckled and pinched her nose. “Greedy thing.”Zoe stuck her tongue out and beamed.The national art exhibition was held in the
Zoe looked at him in surprise. “More than a decade... I haven’t known Ky for a decade yet.”Adam took out his phone and showed Zoe a photo of them in the past. “Zoe, my name is Adam Brooks. Think carefully.”“Adam... Brooks...”Zoe looked at the photo and tilted her head, still unable to remember. “I’m sorry. I had a head injury before, so I don’t remember many things.”Adam held her hand. “Zoe, are you willing to come to me? I’ll take you back to the castle. Rorr will cure you.’“Who’s Rorr?”Before Adam could answer, Zoe shook his hand off. “I’m not going. I don’t want to leave Ky.”“Zoe...”Just as Adam was about to speak, his subordinate approached and whispered in his ear that Kyle was coming this way.Adam frowned. Now was not the right time to confront Kyle. He was afraid of hurting Zoe.“Zoe, this is my number. Call me if you need anything. I’ll come to find you again. Also, don’t tell Kyle that you saw me.”Adam gave Zoe a card with his phone number and looked at he
Kyle looked at Zoe and introduced her, “This is my wife, Zoe.”Mola was surprised. “Wife? Mr. Goodman, you...married?”She did not know that.She always thought that Kyle was single and even wanted to use her godfather’s cooperation with X to get close to him.It was no wonder he showed no interest last time at the hotel.Kyle said coldly, “I’ve been married for two years.”Mola smiled faintly at Zoe and held out her hand. “Hello, Mrs. Goodman. I’m Mola.”Zoe looked at Kyle, then stood up to shake Mola’s hand, smiling politely. “Hello, Ms. Mola.”Mola sized Zoe up. “You’re very pretty, Mrs. Goodman.”She looked nice, but she lacked a certain charm.It turned out that Kyle liked the pure and innocent types.Kyle looked at Mola and said indifferently, “Do you need something?”Mola laughed. “Mr. Goodman, are you upset that I interrupted your private time?”Kyle took a sip of water and put on gloves to peel the crayfish.Mola continued, “It seems you like the crayfish in this
“Yeah.”Kyle asked, “How are the preparations for the hypnosis seminar going?”Solomon replied, “It’s almost ready. The seminar is tentatively scheduled for the 8th of next month.”Kyle nodded. There were more than twenty days until the 8th of next month. He wondered if Blair would be back by then.“I wonder how things are going at Italee after Master Blair went back. I’ll give him a call later.”“Okay.”After a brief, Kyle ended the call....In the evening, Zoe and Kyle returned home. After checking Zoe’s medical records, Kyle planned to take her to a follow-up examination tomorrow.Zoe hugged Kyle from behind excitedly, her eyes sparkling. “Ky, if the results of this examination are good, can we start preparing for pregnancy?”Kyle turned around and hugged her. “Yes.”Zoe jumped up and kissed his lips. “Yay! I want a girl who’s as cute as Nicki...”Seeing her so happy, Kyle felt an unprecedented sense of happiness.The next morning, he exercised in the gym for an hour.
When Zoe woke up and did not see Kyle in the room, she assumed that he had probably gone for an early workout.After freshening up and getting dressed, she went downstairs.Before she reached, she heard his voice saying something about his wife, not allowing anyone to take her away, and saying he did not care.Zoe did not understand and thought that there might be visitors in the house. However, when she descended the stairs, she saw Kyle sitting alone in the living room with his phone.It turned out that he was on a call.“Ky...” Zoe called out.Kyle stiffened at her voice and immediately hung up the phone.“Zoe.” He turned to look at her, a hint of worry in his eyes.Did she hear what he said?Zoe yawned and rubbed her eyes while walking over. “I didn’t see you, so I knew you must have gone for an early workout.”Kyle pulled her to sit beside him and stroked her head. “Yes, I exercised for a while. I was just about to go upstairs to shower.”Zoe pointed to the phone in his
