Blair noticed the change and quickly released his grip, his face filled with concern. "Mabes, what's wrong?"Mable touched her head. The pain just now was as if someone had pricked her scalp with a silver needle, causing her to break into a cold sweat. However, it had come and gone so quickly. She could not feel anything now.She held her head, her face contorted in pain. "My head suddenly hurt.""Hurt?" Blair supported Mable's shoulder, checking the spot she held, but he found nothing unusual."Mabes..."Suddenly, Mable raised her head, looking at Blair with astonishment. "Blair, I felt pain just now!"Mable felt both surprised and relieved. Could it be that her damaged sensory nerves had a chance to recover?Blair finally realized that Mable's supposedly loss of sensation had suddenly appeared. "Mabes, has your sensation returned?"Mable extended her hand. "Pinch me."Blair hesitated, not wanting to cause her any more pain, and held her hand gently. "Why would I pinch you?
Blair looked at Mable and hesitated before speaking, "Can we not talk about it?"He did not want to deceive Mable.Mable lowered her gaze, understanding the implication of his words.He and Eugenie seemed to be discussing something she should not know about.The last time Eugenie came to the company to see him, he had also dismissed Mable. The two of them had talked in the office for a long time, but she did not know what they were discussing."If you don't want to talk about it, don't."Mable was not the type to push and pry. So, since Blair said it that way, she did not want to ask further.She would rather he did not say anything at all than make up an excuse.As she thought, Blair suddenly asked, "Why were you at the hotel? Were you there to meet someone?"Mable paused momentarily and replied, "I was there to meet Wilbur. I needed to discuss something with him.""Related to Zoe?"Mable nodded.Blair understood and did not ask anymore.After dropping Mable off at home,
Blair let out a cold, humorless laugh; his gaze was icy. Why was Connor so against him being with Mable? Was it because of his intense love for her daughter, or was there another reason?Blair stared at the files on his computer and had a long, deep thought."Solomon, I'll send you a file shortly. Follow its instructions."Solomon asked, "Are you sure you want to take action against the Mullers? What if Mable finds out?"Blair clenched his jaw tightly, not saying a word. He would only deal with it when Mable found out. He would find a way.Seeing Blair's silence, Solomon nodded. "Understood; I know what to do. Send me the file. I have it covered here in Italee.""Good."After ending the video call, Blair sent the file to Solomon. After finishing his work, Blair remembered today's incident when Mable suddenly had a headache in the car. He picked up his phone and called Eugenie."Hello," Eugenie's voice came through. "Mr. Fowler, what's up?"Blair asked, "I have something
Anthony took Eugenie to a famous restaurant in Richworth.From the moment Eugenie entered, her eyes kept wandering around. This place was truly luxurious. All the waitstaff were handsome and beautiful, and even the pillars in the hall were gilded."Anthony." Eugenie pulled Anthony's sleeve to confirm several times. "Are you sure you want to treat me here? To be clear, I don't have money. If you're thinking of not picking up the tab later…"Anthony looked at Eugenie indifferently, his eyes carrying a hint of disdain. "Don't worry, just enjoy your meal. I won't make you pay."He was a gold card member here. There was still plenty of money left on his prepaid membership card, enough for her to eat to her heart's content."Good."The waiter led Anthony and Eugenie to a private room and handed them the menu.Anthony directly handed the menu to Eugenie. "Order whatever you want. Don't hesitate."Eugenie opened the menu and looked at it; her mouth was watering."You said it so that I
Back at the hotel, Wilbur asked when Anthony entered the room, "Where did you go?"Anthony replied casually, "I sent you a message. Didn't you see it?"Wilbur searched for his phone for a while before finally finding it under a sofa cushion. After checking the message, he dispelled his doubts."If there’s nothing else, I'll return to my room."As Anthony turned to leave, sarcastic smile appeared on his face.…Italee, in a private villa.It was midnight and the moon shone brightly in the sky.Rory was wearing a coat, sitting on the living room sofa and holding his phone. His face was unusually dark.Adam walked in, looking puzzled. "Rory, you called me."Rory tossed his phone onto the table, and his face turned cold. "I just received an interesting call."Adam furrowed his brows, feeling a sense of foreboding. "What happened in the middle of the night to make you look like this?"Rory stood up and said, "Make arrangements. I'm going to Richworth."Adam asked, "Is something
Eugenie held Mable's hand with an innocent smile and spoke sincerely. "You must believe me." Worried that Mable would not trust her, Eugenie emphasized, "Mrs. Fowler, everything I'm saying is true."Mable smiled, "I know; Blair already explained it to me yesterday.""That's good." In relief, Eugenie patted her heart and said, "I've been worried all day, afraid that this would affect your relationship with Master Blair."Mable smiled and was about to say something when she saw a maid carrying Lemon down the stairs."Madam, you're back. Miss wants you to hold her," the maid said.Lemon looked at her mommy and reached out her arms from afar, wanting her mommy to pick her up."Little Lemon." Mable walked over and took Lemon from the maid.Concerned about Mable's injured hand, Aunt Grace said, "Madam, let me do it. Master Blair specifically instructed that you shouldn't hold Miss with your injured hand."Mable held Lemon on the couch and replied, "It's okay. I'll let her sit on my l
The next day, Blair skipped breakfast and went to the company. Not long after, Eugenie arrived. She brought medical equipment, took a blood sample from Blair, and left.As soon as Eugenie left, Kyle arrived. Lately, Kyle had been staying at home, caring for Zoe, and managing things on the island. He had not been to the company for quite some time.Kyle looked at Blair and asked, "I heard from Solomon that you're planning something against the Muller family?"Blair sat behind his desk, his eyes filled with determination. "After what they did to Mable, there's no way I'll let them off."Kyle cautioned him, "Be careful. The Muller family is now allied with Rory. It won't be easy to bring them down."Blair nodded. "I'm prepared."After a brief discussion, Blair asked, "Is everything arranged for the island? When are you moving?"Kyle replied, "Everything is set. We're moving tomorrow."Kyle was in the company to inform Blair while getting something from the office.Blair nodde
Today, Floyd and Monica went to a church to pray and would not be back until evening. So, Zoe spent the morning alone at home.When Kyle returned, Zoe waved at him from the balcony and headed downstairs. As soon as she descended the stairs, she saw Kyle entering the living room."Ky, you're back."Kyle hugged Zoe and handed her what he had just bought. "I got you your favorite pastry."“Ky, you're the best."Zoe took it and kissed Kyle on the lips, feeling delighted. Kyle sat down with Zoe on the sofa, touching her belly. "How are you feeling today?""Pretty good. I haven't felt nauseous all day."Zoe's morning sickness had improved lately, and she had regained her appetite."That's good."Kyle caressed Zoe's belly and spoke to their baby. "Baby, be good. Don't give trouble to your mom."While enjoying her pastry, Zoe said, "Mom told me it was even more difficult for her when she was pregnant with you. Especially in the later months, she had pelvic pain, leg cramps, and sleep
“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
