Mable slept until the next morning. When she woke up, she saw Blair sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at her. Blair had not rested all night. His usually dark eyes were slightly red, and he had heavy dark eye circles. “You’re awake.” His voice was dry and hoarse. Blair helped her sit up and handed her a cup of water. “Thanks.” Mable drank half of the glass and had just put the cup down when Blair suddenly pulled her hard into his arms. “W-what are you doing?” The force Blair used left Mable breathless.“Mabes.” He called her name hoarsely. “I won’t let anything happen to you—absolutely not!” Mable thought he was still worried about the poison’s attack yesterday and patted his shoulder. “I’m fine now.” Blair nodded and gently stroked the back of her head. “You haven’t had anything all day. What do you want to eat?” He asked her. “Anything, as long as it’s something light.” “Okay. I’ll have someone prepare it.” Mable watched him leave. She was unsur
Tracey advised Mable, “Mabes, it’s better to do a full body checkup so we feel more at ease.” Mable refused. “I’m not going. I know my condition very well. I’m fine.” Seeing how persistent she was, Blair did not force her. “Okay. Since you don’t want to, we won’t go to the hospital.” “Blair!” Tracey shouted. How could he let Mable do what she wanted when it came to her health? She was sure something was wrong with Mable. Mable was surprised Blair was so easy to deal with today. However, he added at the next moment, “Since you don’t want to go to the hospital, I’ll have the medical team come here to give you a checkup.” Mable froze when she heard that. Blair seemed determined to give her a checkup. She sighed helplessly. “Blair, don’t be so worried. I really am fine.” Blair held her hand. “Even if you’re fine, you should do a checkup. Just consider it a regular medical checkup.” Mable withdrew her hand and said, “I said I won’t do it. Don’t force me!” “Mabes.” Blai
Rahman knew what the Ice Jade Flower meant to Mable. Therefore, he was furious when he heard she did not want it anymore. “Mabes, you have to think clearly. The Ice Jade Flower is the only thing that might suppress the Necro Poison. What if—” “Stop!” Mable cut him off. Her heart was already in turmoil. “I’ve made up my mind.” Rahman knew that nothing could persuade her. “...Okay. You’re going back to Ashdale first, right? I’ll wait for you there.” “Mm.” Once Mable hung up, she suddenly heard Blair’s voice behind her. “You don’t want the Ice Jade Flower anymore?” Mable did not turn around. She answered in a dry and hoarse voice, “I don’t want it anymore.” Everyone had their destiny, and she had no plans to force it anymore. Mable went straight to the cloakroom and quickly packed up her things. She took none of the clothes, shoes, or bags Blair bought her during this time. She only packed the clothes she brought with her when she came. After packing her things and c
The bedroom was dead silent. Blair looked at Mable, who was only two steps away from him. His handsome face was ready to unleash its fury. “I don’t believe it. Mable, you’re lying to me!” “I’m telling the truth.” Mable looked calmly at him and did not explain further. It was more convincing not to explain. “Who is he?” Mable chuckled. “Do you think I’m stupid? Why would I tell you? So that you can deal with him?” Blair clenched his fists, and his face tensed up. He gave off a lingering chill as he asked, “You love him that much?” “Yes, I love him very much.” Mable stared at him and uttered, “I will only love him in this life. He’s irreplaceable in my—” “Enough!” Blair could not take it anymore. He stormed out angrily. If he stayed any longer, he might not be able to control himself and might kill her! After watching him leave, Mable plopped onto the sofa. Her heart was empty, and she felt awful. However, it was the best reason she could think of. ‘I’ll l
Monafett. Rahman was extremely anxious once he finished talking to Mable.After some thought, he decided he could not take it anymore and picked up his phone to call Blair. “Hey, Mr. Fowler.” Rahman spoke after the call went through. The person on the other end said nothing, but Rahman was not in a hurry. He said leisurely, “I have a business I’d like to discuss with you. Are you interested?” Blair responded after a moment of silence, “Go on.” “I know Fowler Enterprise is preparing to expand its market in Eastern Erebar. Coincidentally, I happen to have two unused private oil fields. I wonder if you’re interested.” Rahman’s heart was heavy when he made the offer. He was going all out for Mable by offering his most valuable private property. The two oil fields were simply priceless. He did not believe Blair would not unmoved. Sure enough, Blair asked, “What do you want?” Rahman cut to the chase. “I want the Ice Jade Flower.” … Richworth. Blair was in his stu
Hugh immediately stood in front of Mable. The bodyguards behind also reacted quickly and surrounded her to protect her. The cars stopped. Ten or so bodyguards came down from the cars but did not make a move. Amos got down from the Maybach’s passenger seat. He took a rectangular box from one of the bodyguards and walked straight toward Mable. Mable smiled faintly at him. “Assistant Nielsen, you can’t stop me.” “Ms. Jefferson, you’ve misunderstood. We’re not here to stop you.” Amos handed her the box and said, “Master Blair asked me to pass this on to you.” Mable glanced at the backseat of the Maybach. The window was closed, so she could not see the person inside. It seemed Blair did not intend to come down. She was relieved. “No thanks. Master Blair took care of me during this time. If we’re doing gifts, I should be the one giving him something instead.” Mable refused to accept an undeserved reward. It was hard enough for her to make up her mind to leave Blair. S
Tracey was knocked out by Mable. When she woke up and found out that Mable had left Richworth, she felt terrible. When she heard from the maid that Blair had gone out, she thought he had gone after Mable. However, he returned not long after. Blair locked himself in the study as soon as he got home and ordered everyone not to disturb him. Tracey was afraid he might do something extreme. So, she stayed up all night in the living room. Just like that, Blair was still in the study until noon the next day. Tracey was anxious. Blair could be mad, but how would his body take it if he did not eat or drink for a long time? As such, she mustered her courage and knocked on the study door. “Blair, it’s me, Trace. Are you okay?” There was no sound in the study. She hesitated for a while and pushed the door open. “Blair, you— Cough, cough!” The smell of smoke was too strong! Tracey covered her mouth and coughed. She hurried to open the windows. “Blair, how many cigarettes hav
Rahman was delighted. “Really?” Mable put down her cutleries, looking upset. “Rahman, am I trashy?” Rahman forced a laugh and casually replied to her, “You finally realized? I’ve been used to your trashy personality for many years.” “Get lost!” Mable rolled her eyes at him. Rahman knew what she was struggling with. “Mabes, everything in this world can be solved by money. Don’t feel like you owe Blair anything. At most, I’ll give him two private oil fields and take it as I bought the Ice Jade Flower from him.” Mable pondered for a while. Blair probably needed oil fields at the moment, so she nodded and said, “Okay, but I’ll pay for them.” Rahman ruffled his golden bangs and smiled evilly. “Why are you being so polite? I wouldn’t have gotten the two oil fields in the first place if it wasn’t for you.” Mable wanted to say something else but Rahman cut her off. “Stop talking nonsense. Where’s the Ice Jade Flower? Hurry up and decoct it.” The sooner she consumed it, the soon
“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
