“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. “
Jeremiah threw the phone on the table in anger, his expression dark.What exactly were they planning?...Meanwhile, after ending the call with Jeremiah, Rory chuckled softly. It seemed like he made the right move.For Lemon, Mable would do as he suggested.“The rest is up to you, Mable.”Just as he was thinking, his phone rang again.He looked at it and straightened up. “Hello, Mr. Hammond.”Wilbur’s voice sounded over the phone. “I’ve read the case you sent. Arrange some time for me to meet the patient.”“Okay. She’s not in Italee now. I’ll contact you again when she arrives.”Then, Rory asked, “Are you confident that you can cure her?”“About fifty to sixty percent.”Rory nodded. “Okay.”A success rate of fifty to sixty percent was already quite high.After hanging up the phone, he sent a message to Adam urging him to bring Zoe back as soon as possible....At the hotel, as soon as Blair arrived, Tracey surrounded him anxiously. “Blair, Blair, did Mabes talk about th
Two days later, Blair went to the Muller Mansion. He had given Mable two days to think, and now it was time for her to respond. Mable had anticipated Blair's visit and had informed the security guards at the entrance in advance. There was no obstruction this time, and the servant led Blair into the house.As he entered the living room, he saw Lemon on the carpet playing with toys. Mable was sitting on the nearby sofa, sketching something in her sketchbook."Miss Muller, Mr. Fowler is here," one of the servants informed.Mable raised her head and looked at Blair. It was a sunny day. The sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a halo on Blair's shoulders.Mable gazed at Blair, momentarily lost in thought."Mabes," Blair spoke her name, bringing her back to reality. She nodded and gestured to the sofa beside her. "You're here. Please have a seat."Blair did not sit immediately. Instead, he walked over to Lemon. "Little Lemon."Little Lemon looked up, her large black pe
Blair looked at Mable, hesitant to speak.Mable sensed he had something on his mind and asked, "What do you want to say?""Mabes, if Jeremiah does not allow Little Lemon and you return to Dorland, would you change your mind?" Blair inquired.Mable chuckled softly. "So, you're worried I might change my mind?"Before Blair could respond, Mable continued, "Don't worry. I won't change my mind."Blair remained silent, his gaze shifting to Lemon in his arms with a smile on his face.His attention fell on the small jade pendant hanging around Lemon's neck."Isn’t this…" Blair furrowed his brows, grasped the Jarius jade, and looked at Mable.Mable was surprised. "Do you know it?"Blair nodded. "This Jarius pendant is the token of the second in command of Secret. Didn't you return it to Rory when you left the Secret?"Mable was surprised that Blair knew about her connection with Secret. It seemed she had trusted him to reveal her identity.Blair frowned and asked, "Mabes, have you re
Jeremiah gazed deeply at Mable, and his golden pupils faintly emitted a mysterious glow.Jeremiah firmly placed both hands on Mable's shoulders and spoke solemnly, "Astrid, promise me you will never fall for Blair."Mable was taken aback. It was utterly unexpected that he would say this to her. Fall for Blair? No way…Mable felt a moment of confusion.Jeremiah frowned, saying, "Astrid, look at me and promise me!"Mable snapped out of her daze, staring into his eyes and nodding slowly. "I promise I won't have any feelings for Blair."Jeremiah looked at her with complex emotions, relieved in his heart. ‘Astrid, I hope everything goes well for you. I will protect you no matter what.’…In Richworth, Dorland.Since Adam came to the villa to search for Zoe a few days ago, Kyle brought Zoe back to the Goodman Residence.There were two reasons Kyle brought Zoe to the Goodman Mansion. First, Kyle’s parents missed them and kept inviting them to stay for a while. Moreover, with B
