After a while, Mable heard him speak, "So, when are you planning to return to Italee?"

Mable thought for a moment. "I still have some unfinished business. Can you give me a little more time?"

Jeremiah fell silent once again. After a while, he reminded Mable slowly and deliberately, "Astrid, I don't want to pressure you. However, I hope you remember that Blair is not your lover; he's your enemy."

As Mable listened to his words, she suddenly felt a throbbing in her temple.

"Alright, I understand. I have something to attend to, so I'll hang up now. Goodbye."

She hung up the phone without waiting for Jeremiah to say anything else.

She sat on the couch, supporting her head with her hands and pressing her temple with her fingertips to relieve the sudden headache.

"Mabes, what's wrong?" Blair nervously descended the stairs.

"I'm fine."

Mable raised her head, revealing a faint, warm smile. "I suddenly felt a bit of a headache in my temple."

    After finishing the call with Zoe, Blair remembered that Mabes had called Jeremiah earlier. He casually asked, "Why did your brother call you just now?"Mabes replied, "It was nothing much. He just asked how I and the kids are doing."Blair looked at Mabes with a half-smile. "Oh? Is Jeremiah worried I might bully you?"He recalled the information Solomon had uncovered about the Muller family, and his eyes darkened slightly.On the surface, he could indeed see Jeremiah’s care towards Mable, but this kind of "care" was full of intentions.He was even willing to hurt Mabes for this "purpose".Mable stared into Blair's eyes and asked, "Would you bully me?"Blair sighed and caressed her long hair. "Mabes, don't you know how I feel about you?"Mabes knew that Blair had been exceptionally kind to her, almost too accommodating. She understood that very well.However, these days, whenever Blair was exceptionally good to her, images of when he had hurt her in the past would flash throug

    "You didn’t," Blair said.Remembering the past scene, Blair felt both angry and amused. "You couldn't wait to distance yourself from me. The farther away, the better. In your eyes, I was just a jerk."Mable could not help but laugh, covering her mouth. "Hahaha, really? Did I often call you that?"A jerk—that was entirely accurate! As if she would say such things out loud.Blair stared at Mable. Seeing her laugh so happily was rare. Forget about her calling him a jerk before. As long as she was happy, she could call him that now."Mabes, it's been long since I've seen you laugh so heartily," Blair commented.Mable's smile froze for a moment. Then, she smiled even brighter. "Blair, please tell me more about the fun things from the past next time."She wanted to know more about their past."Alright." Blair recalled something and asked, "I've always wanted to ask how you learn to fly a plane. You're so good at it, too."Ordinary people would not learn how to fly a plane. Even if

    Blair returned to his study. He was about to contact Solomon when he received a call from him.Solomon's voice came through as the call connected, "Boss, it seems like Rory has gone to Croquen."Blair replied, "I know.""Hmm? You know?" Solomon was momentarily surprised before realizing, "Did Rory go to Richworth? Did you see him?"Blair explained, "No, I didn't. I just heard it from Mabes."After that, Blair asked, "Have you discovered Rory's purpose for coming to Croquen?"Solomon responded, "Not yet. After he left Italee, he disappeared, and we haven't located him in the city. I called to remind you and Mable to be cautious."Solomon was concerned that Rory might be going after Mable.Blair instructed, "I'll handle things here in Croquen. You don't need to worry. Send someone to check Rory's residence in Italee and see if we can find any leads.""Alright, I'll go do that."Blair also called Arthur to check the immigration surveillance at various airports and ports in Ric

    "What are you guys doing down there?"In the garden below, Tracey stood with her hands on her hips, directing Nicki and Spike to pick pomegranates. Hearing Blair's voice, the three of them looked up and saw Blair in his bathrobe, standing on the balcony, his face full of displeasure."Daddy.""Uncle Blair!""Blair!"The three of them spoke at the same time. Tracey raised the large pomegranate and said, "We're picking pomegranates."Blair glared at Tracey. "Quiet down, you're making too much noise!""It's already late, and you guys haven't woken up?" Tracey teased with a sly smile, "Could it be that you stayed up late last night? I understand now. We'll be quiet and not disturb you and Mabes ‘sleeping in’."Blair looked at the two children in the tree and furrowed his brows slightly. "Be careful and don't fall."Blair never spoiled the children, so he never had to scold them. The pomegranate tree was not very tall, and with Tracey and the servants watching nearby, Blair was n

    Blair's kiss was gentle, like savoring a delicious dessert. For him, Mable's lips were more tempting than anything he had ever tasted. With a single kiss, Blair felt a hint of sweetness in his heart and saw hope. It seemed like she was not as resistant to him anymore. After all the time he had invested, there was finally some progress.Blair reluctantly released Mable and gently touched her blushing cheeks, saying, "Mabes, thank you for the birthday gift. I love it."Mable bit her lip. She was still dazed from the kiss and had not regained her composure. Blair handed the tie to Mable and said, "I'd like to try it on. Can you help me with it?""Oh, sure." Mable took the tie and pushed Blair's shoulder slightly to create some distance between them. Blair was much taller than her, so she had to tiptoe to fix the tie for him.Blair gazed at Mable with an incredibly tender expression. "Done," she said after a while.She held Blair's hand and stood together in front of the ful

    Tracey spread a picnic blanket under the tree, holding Lemon while waiting beneath the shade."Little Lemon, do you want to climb trees with your big brothers and sisters? If you want to, you need to grow up quickly. Aunt Tracey will teach you how to climb trees when you're bigger," Tracey said.Lemon sat beside her aunt, holding an apple her brother had just picked. She wanted to take a bite, but Tracey took it from her."Fruity, mine,” Lemon pouted and said in her sweet voice. Tracey took a fruit knife and said, "Wait, Aunt Tracey will peel it for you."Soon, Mable and Blair approached with a basket of apples."Mama, fruity." Seeing bigger and redder apples, Lemon immediately crawled over to her mama and held one in each hand.Blair took off his gloves and pinched Lemon's cheek. "Does Little Lemon want to pick apples?""Yes!" Lemon's eyes lit up as she pointed at the apples on the tree. "Fruity, yummy.""Come, Daddy will lift you to pick the apples."Blair lifted Lemon hig

    For the past two months, there was always a healthy dessert on the breakfast table during her menstrual days. Mable had always assumed the servants prepared it.Blair looked at Mable. "You never asked."Since she had not asked, why would he mention it?Mable gazed at Blair, feeling a warm sensation in her heart.Seeing Mable suddenly staring at him silently, Blair put down what he was holding and walked up to her. "Are you moved?"“No,” Mable replied with a hint of stubbornness. She deliberately avoided eye contact with him as she said, "This little thing isn't enough to move me."Saying she was unmoved by his acts was a lie. After all, she was not the type of woman with a heart of stone.Blair placed his hand on Mable's head and smiled lightly. "I’m relieved then.""Hmm?" Mable looked at him, puzzled."Mabes, I do these things not to impress you. I want you to be well. As long as you're well, I'm willing to do anything. These are my ways of showing my love for you."Listenin

    "Where is he?""He arrived in the Rouve City of Croquen two days ago on a private plane, but early the next morning, he left for another location by the sea. I found out he boarded the Jenkin cruise. The GPS data shows it departed from Rouve City Harbor, heading westward, and is currently in the Lilin Sea."Blair frowned. "Lilin Sea?"After some thought, Blair asked, "Have they determined their destination yet?"Arthur replied, "Not yet. Since yesterday, their GPS coordinates haven't changed much. They've been in that area the whole time."Blair nodded thoughtfully. The Lilin Sea had no islands nearby, and it would take over ten hours to reach the nearest Emerald Island. Thinking of this, Blair suddenly had a thought."How far is their location from Bay Island?""Bay Island? It's quite far."Arthur paused for a moment, then realized something and said, "Master Blair, you are suspecting that Rory is going after Kyle and Zoe, aren’t you? It shouldn't be the case; Bay Island and

    “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
