“He didn’t say much. He just mentioned we were good friends, and he wanted to take me away. He said he would cure me and help me recover my memory...”Kyle’s expression instantly darkened at her words. Sure enough, Adam wanted to take Zoe away.Zoe looked at Kyle and saw his expression turn cold. She instantly understood that he was angry and held his arm, smiling. “Don’t be mad, Ky. Although Adam wanted to take me away, I refused.”Zoe stuck her tongue out and said playfully, “I don’t want to leave you. I don’t care if I don’t regain my memory. I just don’t want to be apart from you.”Being with Kyle made her happy and joyful.Zoe’s words instantly eased the worries and chills in Kyle’s heart.He held her hand and intertwined the fingers tightly. “Zoe, I’ll hold onto you tightly and never let you go. Even if you want to leave one day, I won’t let you.”Unless he died!He stared into her eyes but did not voice the last three words.“I know!” Zoe smiled brightly. Then, she sudd
“Adam?”Kyle’s expression darkened as he held the phone.That man went to his home.“Did he say what he needed?” Kyle asked.Laura’s voice sounded over the phone. “He said he’s Madam’s close friend and came specifically to see her.”Kyle snorted coldly and instructed, “Tell him Zoe and I are out on a trip today and won’t be home for some time. Ask him to leave.”Upon hearing his words, Laura did not ask any more questions and simply acknowledged before hanging up.After that, Kyle took Zoe back to the old residence.It had been a while since they had gone back to have a meal, so Monica was looking forward to it. She personally cooked a lot of delicious dishes.After eating at the old residence, Kyle and Zoe went back to the villa.As soon as they got out of the car, a car’s high beam lights suddenly shone upon them.“Ah!”Zoe immediately raised her arm to shield her eyes.Kyle instinctively held her in his embrace to protect her and looked toward the direction of the light
This girl was supposed to be suffering from mental impairment, right? Why was she so articulate?Adam could not help but feel amused.He shoved the box to Zoe. “Take it. Don’t let my heartfelt gesture go to waste.”Kyle looked at Adam. “I’m warning you, don’t try to do anything to Zoe.”Adam glanced at him. “Who’s the one trying to do anything to her? If not for her amnesia, do you think she’d marry you?”Upon hearing this, Zoe looked at Kyle in confusion. “What does Adam mean by that?”Why would she not marry Kyle if she had not lost her memory? Did she not like him before?Kyle stroked her head and said, “Be good and go inside first, Zoe.”“Okay, I’ll go in first.”Zoe nodded obediently and looked at Adam, bidding him farewell. “Bye-bye.”Then, she entered the house.As soon as Zoe left, Kyle’s expression instantly darkened. “What the hell do you want, Adam?”Adam looked at Kyle, his expression unreadable. “Listen closely, Kyle. I’ll take Zoe away and treat her amnesia.”
“Lemon is fine for now,” Blair told Solomon over the phone.Solomon hummed in confusion. “For now?”Blair turned to look at the computer on his desk, his dark eyes unreadable.Solomon continued, “I heard from Tracey that Lemon was poisoned. Was it treated?”Blair subconsciously clenched his fists, his narrowed eyes staring at the computer screen as he remained silent.“Master Blair, did something happen?” Solomon asked anxiously.Blair rubbed his temples, walked to the desk, and closed the laptop. “Don’t worry. It’s nothing.”Over the phone, Solomon paused before saying, “Alright then. Take care of yourself. Rory is also in Italee.”“I know,” Blair added, “Contact me if there are any developments in the hypnosis seminar.”“Got it.”After hanging up the phone, Blair placed it on the table. He raised his hand and looked at the needle mark on his arm with a serious expression.‘Mabes, you went so far just to get my blood, but what are you planning?‘Could it be that you alread
“I’ll pour you a glass of juice.”Tracey poured the juice and sat beside Mable, asking, “Mabes, how’s Lemon?”Mable’s eyes softened and warmed at the mention of Lemon. “She’s fine now.”“That’s good. I was thinking of going to the Mullers to see you and Lemon today, but...”Tracey paused, then looked at Mable cautiously. “Mabes, that day at the hospital, Blair only hit Rory because he was worried about Lemon. Don’t be angry...”Mable smiled. “I know. I’m not angry.”Rory had a nasty tongue, so it was his own fault that Blair hit him.Tracey asked, “Did you come find Blair for something?”Mable was silent for a few seconds before saying, “I wanted to talk to him about the divorce.”Tracey’s heart thumped.Sure enough, Mable still had not given up on the idea of divorcing Blair.“Mabes.” Tracey held Mable’s hand, her expression regretful. “You’ll regret it if you regain your memory one day.”Mable frowned slightly. “Regret what? Divorcing your brother?”Tracey nodded firmly.
Blair’s expression instantly sank at the mention of divorce.He looked at Mable and said solemnly, “If that’s what you want to talk about, then you can save your breath.”“Blair.”Before she could finish, he interrupted her words. “Mabes, I believe I’ve made myself crystal clear. No matter what you say or do, I’ll never agree to divorce you!”Mable stared into his eyes, her expression unreadable. She nodded somewhat thoughtfully. “...Then we won’t.”Blair’s eyes widened. He never expected Mable to say that.“We... We won’t?”Did he hear wrongly? Did she say that they would not divorce?Mable took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and said calmly, “I’m tired, Blair. I don’t want to be entangled with you anymore. I know your methods. If you insist on not getting a divorce, then it’s futile no matter what I do. In that case, I’ll take a step back and won’t divorce.”Blair stared at her, his eyes gradually growing darker.That was too unusual.Based on his understanding of Mabl
“Sorry.” Mable rubbed her temples and avoided his eyes.Blair asked, “Do you feel uncomfortable?”Mable shook her head. “I’m fine. I’m hungry. Let’s eat.”The waiter had already pushed the serving trolley over to deliver the dishes.Blair observed Mable’s expression and did not say anything more.Mable did not have much of an appetite and only ate a little before putting down her cutlery.After dinner, Blair sent her home.The two remained silent throughout the journey.Back at Muller Manor, Mable got out of the car and said, “Thanks.”“Mabes.”Blair wanted to reach out and grab her hand, but for some reason, he held back.He looked at her and said, “Since you decided not to divorce, let’s bring Lemon back to Richworth together.”Mable frowned. She did not want to go back to Dorland with Blair, but if she did not go with him, then...After contemplating for a moment, she said, “Let me think about it. I’ll give you an answer in a few days.”After a pause, she added, “Blair
In Muller Manor, Jeremiah went back to his bedroom with a furious expression and picked up his phone to call Rory.Soon, the call connected.Before Rory could speak, Jeremiah yelled angrily, “What the hell are you doing, Rory?”“Hm?”Rory chuckled softly. “Why are you so angry this late at night? Did something happen?”Jeremiah gripped the phone. “Astrid went to find Blair today... Did you incite her to do it?”Rory’s smile widened at his words. “I didn’t incite her. I suggested it.”Jeremiah was livid. “Is there a difference?”Rory said, “Mr. Muller, you should know how I treat Mable. If not for me, you wouldn’t have found her in the first place. If not for me, she would already be dead.”Jeremiah narrowed his eyes. “So? What are you trying to say?”Rory said, “I’m trying to tell you that I won’t hurt Mable. Everything I do is for her own good. Also, we have a common enemy—Blair. Thus, we should unite against him.”Jeremiah tightened his grip on his phone and gritted out. “
“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
