When Mable fell silent, Rory raised his voice. “Are you mute now? You used to be so capable. Why aren’t you saying anything now? Let me tell you, Mable. My tolerance for you is limited!”Mable said, “Rory, you told Adam to take Zoe back to treat her injuries and restore her memory, but have you ever considered how dependent Zoe is on Kyle now? She can’t live without him. You can easily send the doctor to Richworth to treat her. When she recovers her memory, you might not even need someone to kidnap her. She’ll go back on her own.”“When has it been your place to teach me how to do things?”Mable rubbed her temples in exasperation. “I’m just giving you a suggestion by standing in Zoe’s perspective as her friend. I also hope that you can consider how she feels more.”“You’re getting more and more soft-hearted, Mable.”Mable retorted, “It’s you who’s too heartless!”Rory sneered over the phone. “I may be heartless to others, but ask yourself. When have I been heartless to you?”Mab
“Even if you don’t believe me now and don’t love me, that’s okay. I believe that one day, you’ll understand my feelings for you, even if it takes a lifetime to prove it.”Mable stared into Blair’s eyes, momentarily lost in thought.Her rational mind told her not to be deceived by his sweet words. However, her heart could not help but want to believe him.She clenched her jaw and was silent before suddenly asking, “Blair, do you love me and our children?”Blair answered before she could finish, “Of course.”There were no parents in the world who did not love their own children. Blair was no exception.Mable continued to ask, “If one day, you had to exchange your life for Spike’s or Lemon’s, would you do it?”Blair raised his brows and said without hesitation, “If such a situation happens, of course, I’ll do it.”When he found the person he loved, his life was no longer his own. The same applied to his children.Mable, Spike, and Lemon...In Blair’s heart, the three of them hel
Spike gently poked Lemon’s face with his finger. “Lemon, Mommy and Daddy made up. We’re a happy family again.”Lemon did not understand, but seeing her siblings laugh, she giggled along with them....In the garden, Mable was held so tight that she could not breathe. She pushed him away and said, “I can’t breathe.”Blair released her and instead held her hand.“Thank you, Mabes.”Mable returned the grasp. “I hope that we can be happy every day in the future, Blair.”It was a form of compensation from her to him.Blair said, “We will.”The two stayed in the garden for a while before returning to the house.Mable suddenly thought of something and said, “Right, there’s something I almost forgot to tell you.”“What is it?”Mable said, “I met someone at the mall yesterday. He said his name is Anthony Fowler, your brother. He also told me to pass on a message to you.”Blair’s eyes widened. “What? Anthony?”Anthony was supposed to be dead!“Yeah.”Blair could not believe it. “
Blair made two calls to Arthur, but they went unanswered.Half an hour later, Arthur finally returned the call.“You called me, Master Blair?”He was on the phone with Tracey earlier, so he did not answer Blair’s call.Blair held the phone and told Arthur about Anthony being alive.“Anthony is alive? T-That can’t be!”He was even more shocked than Blair.After all, Anthony ‘died’ by his hands.Blair asked, “Arthur, are you sure he had stopped breathing when he was thrown into the sea?”Arthur recalled and said, “I made sure. He had indeed stopped breathing at that time. Even if he had breath left, it shouldn’t have been possible for him to survive being thrown into the sea...”It was really unbelievable!Arthur asked, “Master Blair, was the person Mable saw really Anthony?”“It should be him.”Mable did not remember Anthony at all now. How would she know him if he had not appeared in front of her?Blair said, “I told Solomon to investigate. He’ll inform me if there’s any
Mable stared at Blair. The more careful and gentler he was, the more she did not know how to react, and the more guilty she felt...Mable lowered her eyes, a sense of guilt washing over her.Blair continued to apply the ointment to all ten of her knuckles.He bowed his head and placed a sincere kiss on the back of her hand. “Mabes, everything will be alright. I promise you that I’ll cure you no matter what it takes.”Mable shook her head. “It’s fine like this now. I don’t need you to do anything more for me, Blair.”Blair stroked her face gently. She was right in front of him, but he found himself unable to read her.The atmosphere in the silent bedroom was somewhat ambiguous.Seeing Blair’s lips about to descend, Mable suddenly snapped back to her senses and turned her head aside.The cool kiss landed on her cheek.Blair looked at her with a disappointed gaze, a bitter smile on his lip.He was too impatient...Blair touched her face, his fingertips gently tracing her lips.
Rory nodded. “...That’s true.”Mable’s feelings for Blair were too deep. She loved him to hell and back and even left Secret to go against Rory.Although she did not remember the past now and did not have a good impression of Blair, if they spent more time together, her feelings for him might rekindle.Jeremiah said, “If everything goes smoothly, Astrid should be able to return to Italee in about a month.”“It won’t be that quick.”Rory smiled. “I called her yesterday. She hasn’t even started yet.”Jeremiah frowned. It had been more than ten days since she returned to Richworth. Why had she not started yet?“What is Astrid thinking?”Rory crossed his legs and said expectantly, “She becomes indecisive whenever something related to Blair comes up.”Jeremiah glanced at Rory. “I’ll call her later and urge her.”After a pause, he suddenly thought of something and asked, “Rory, did you make some kind of deal with my father?”Rory raised his brows. “You should be asking your father
Rory stood up with a ‘go take your punishment!’ look before heading upstairs.Adam loosened his tie, took off his coat, and walked to the backyard.After Rory went upstairs, he picked up his phone and dialed Wilbur’s number, but the latter’s phone was turned off and did not connect....In Richworth, Dorland.Zoe was pregnant and spent the next two days in the hospital undergoing various tests.Only after all the tests were done did Kyle take her home.Zoe knew that she had to be careful because the fetus was unstable during the first trimester, so she did not dare to run around like she did before. After returning home, she even took the elevator instead of climbing the stairs.When Monica heard of the pregnancy, she immediately called Kyle and told him to bring Zoe to the old residence.There were many people in the old manor, so it would be easier to take care of her.Kyle and Zoe discussed it and decided to move back to the old residence.When they arrived, they saw the
Since Mable agreed to give Blair another chance, the relationship between them improved significantly.Mable no longer rejected Blair like before, and she did not avoid the intimate gestures he made.Even the children noticed the change between them, and their smiles became much brighter.There was an event at the school in October. Both Nicki and Spike would be performing on stage.Mable and Blair promised the children that they would go to the school to watch their performance.On that afternoon, Mable specially ordered two bouquets of flowers, intending to give them to Nicki and Spike after their performance.Blair did not go to the office that day and handled some matters in the study at home. When it was almost time, he left with Mable.“Did you bring the camera?” Mable asked.Blair took her bag and nodded. “Yes.”When they arrived at the school auditorium, Mable and Blair went backstage first.There was still an hour before the event started, but Nicki had already chang
