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
After seeing Kyle and Zoe off at the airport, Mable and Blair left the terminal."I might have to work overtime tonight and be back a bit late," Blair said to Mable as they drove home."It's alright, you focus on your work. I'll take care of the kids," Mable replied.Blair held Mable's hand and kissed the back of it. "Once these busy days have passed, things will get easier, and we can spend quality time with the children."Mable looked at Blair and smiled. "Can we plan a short stay at Mair Manor? The servant there told me the fruit trees are doing well this year. In a while, we can take the kids fruit picking.""Sounds great," Blair eagerly agreed.Mable proactively suggested staying in Mair Manor meant she was becoming more comfortable living there. It was a good sign.After dropping Mable off at home, Blair headed to the office.Mable changed into comfortable clothing in her bedroom and then turned on her computer. She had been researching Blair's will for the past few days
"Ah! My head hurts.”Mable clutched her head. Cold sweat started falling from her forehead.Was she not supposed to be painless? Why did it suddenly hurt so much?"Blair." Mable tried to grab her phone. She struggled to stand up, intending to call Blair. However, as soon as she got up, she suddenly fell.The maid cleaning the hallway heard the noise from the room and knocked on the door. "Madam, are you okay?"There was no response from inside the room. The maid hesitated momentarily and then knocked on the door twice more. "Madam?"Strange… Why was there no sound? Could something be wrong?Worried that something might have happened, the maid pushed the door open.To her surprise, she saw Mable lying unconscious on the floor."Madam!"The maid rushed over in a panic and shouted, "Someone, help! Madam has fainted!"…At the company.Blair was in the middle of a meeting with his phone on silent mode.The meeting was halfway through when Amos suddenly barged in, looking anxi
With permission granted, Blair and Tracey entered the emergency room. Mable was asleep on the hospital bed, though her complexion did not look good."Mabes," Blair said, holding Mable's hand against his face. He had a concerned expression.Tracey also felt for Mable but reassured Blair, "Don't worry. The doctor said Mabes is fine. She will wake up soon."Blair nodded without a word. They watched the nurses transfer Mable to a hospital room.Blair stayed by Mable's side, and by late afternoon, Mable finally woke up. When she opened her eyes, the first person she saw was Blair.He sat by the bedside, his eyes filled with joy as he gazed at her. "Mabes, you're awake.""Blair," Mable tried to speak, but her voice sounded hoarse."Mabes." Blair bent down and hugged her tightly, his voice trembling. "I'm so glad you're awake. I'm sorry."Mable paused momentarily and then hugged him back, a hint of a smile in her voice. "Why apologize for something you had no control over? My fainti
