Zoe opened the album Adam handed her and looked at the photos inside. She could not believe what she saw."This girl looks just like me," she said in disbelief, pointing to a photo of a girl in the album.Adam walked over to Zoe and pointed at her, saying, "Zoe, it's not just a resemblance; it's you!""Me?" Zoe still could not believe it. She flipped through several pages, and every photo had her in it. There were solo shots, pictures of her with Adam, and several group photos, although she did not recognize anyone except Mable."Are all these me?" Zoe asked in half disbelief."Yes, they're all you." Adam confirmed."But why has Ky never told me about this?" Zoe wondered aloud.Before finishing her sentence, Rory interrupted sternly. "Zoe, Kyle is our enemy!"He deceived you while you had amnesia, keeping you close to him only for revenge.""You're lying!" Zoe glared at Rory and vehemently protested. "Ky is not like that. He has always been good to me."Rory sneered. "He's
Zoe returned to her bedroom in a daze and sat in the corner, hugging her knees, tears streaming down her face. "Ky, where are you? Please come and save me."Rory went to his study and made a phone call to Anthony. The call connected quickly. "Do you have the prescription for treating Zoe's amnesia?"Immediately, Rory heard a sinister chuckle from the other end of the line. "Rory, let's be clear, we had an agreement. You haven't forgotten, have you?"Rory replied, "Money is not a problem, but you must guarantee that the prescription you give me is absolutely effective."Anthony added, "Wilbur doesn't trust me, and his prescription is not something I can easily obtain. Give me a little more time, and I will notify you as soon as I have it.""Three days. I must receive the prescription within three days, or the deal is off."Rory knew that Kyle and the others were probably planning how to rescue Zoe. He needed to make sure Zoe regained her memory before their operation."I'll do my
In the middle of the night, Rory was awakened by some commotion outside. He opened the door and stepped out, asking, "What's going on?""Sir, we just spotted a drone flying over the villa, but it's been taken down. We haven't found whoever’s controlling it yet.""A drone?" Rory smirked coldly, knowing precisely who was behind it. "Kyle indeed acts quick."They had only returned to Italee earlier that day, and Kyle had already tracked them down.At that moment, Adam came downstairs after hearing the commotion. He looked at Rory and asked, "Should we consider changing locations?"Rory's expression remained cold. "No need. With Zoe in my hands, Kyle wouldn’t dare act recklessly.""That's true."…Richworth.Kyle was currently on a plane and unable to contact anyone. So, Solomon reached out to Blair, who was in Richworth, and briefed him on the situation with Rory."The security has been doubled at least. I wanted to use a drone to check the villa's interior, but they spotted
"These clothes are ones I don't want to wear anymore." Mable said, swiftly changing the topic, "Since you came back early today, can you cook? I'm craving your steak."Blair rubbed Mable's head. "Sure."After changing into casual clothes, Blair headed to the kitchen. Mable continued to pack her suitcase. Then, she retrieved something from the bedside drawer.Blair took charge in the kitchen, not allowing Mable to help with anything, not even picking vegetables.Mable had no choice but to sit on the side, eating a plate of fruit while watching him chop and wash vegetables.As she watched, Mable suddenly said, "Blair, I've noticed I've become more dependent on you. When we returned to Richworth, I never considered staying with you forever."Blair paused in his vegetable chopping and looked at Mable, asking, "What were you thinking at the time?"Mable, eating grapes, thought for a moment. "Well, then, I never really considered spending my life with you.""And now?"Mable gazed
Spike stood in the hallway wearing his pajamas. He had initially intended to go downstairs for a drink of water. To his surprise, he saw his mom packing her suitcase and preparing to leave."Mommy, where are you going?" Spike walked up to his mom, his young face resembling Blair's, and his expression was serious.‘It’s getting late, and Mommy’s not asleep yet. She’s also holding a suitcase. Where is she planning to go?’Mable had not expected Spike to come out at this hour. She put down her suitcase and bent down to ruffle Spike's hair. "Sweetie, Mommy has some business to attend to."Spike furrowed his brows. "What kind of business?"Mable smiled. "Grown-up stuff. Children shouldn’t ask so many questions.""Mommy, I'm not a three-year-old anymore." Spike had a stern face. Mable ruffled Spike's hair affectionately, "You're not eighteen yet, which means you’re still a kid."Spike pursed his lips. It looked like his mom was not going to tell him where she was going."Then c
When Blair heard Spike's voice, he looked up and saw Spike sitting on the couch, reading a book. Spike handed him a glass of water when he realized his dad was awake. "Have some water."Mable was brutal for giving Blair a sleeping pill. Blair accepted the glass and sipped, feeling his headache slowly subsiding. "What time is it?"Spike pointed to the wall clock. "It's almost eleven.""Really?" Blair glanced at the clock, surprised by how long he had slept. Even someone as fearless as Blair could sense that something was amiss.He got up abruptly. "Where's your mom?"Spike pursed his lips. "I don't know. I didn't see Mom when I woke up this morning."Blair's heart sank, and he rushed out of the study and into their bedroom."Mabes!""Mabes!"“Mable!”He searched through the bedroom, the bathroom, the walk-in closet, the living room, and the garden, but there was no sign of Mable.The villa's bodyguards heard the commotion and approached. One reported, "Master Blair, Madam
Italee.Mable had yet to inform Jeremiah and the others that she had returned. After getting off the plane, she took a taxi straight to the Muller Manor residence. The household servant was delighted to see her return and mentioned calling the young master.Mable looked at the servant, who was about to make the call, and said, "Don't call my brother. I want to give him a surprise."The staff member smiled and put down the phone. "All right. If the young master sees you've returned when he gets off work this afternoon, he'll be pleased."Mable inquired about the recent situation at home."Miss, after you and Miss Lemon left, the young master has been busy with work, going to work early and returning late. He rarely comes back for dinner."Mable asked, "What about my dad? Has he returned?""No, Master Connor has been in Oliville all this time."Mable checked the time and knew Jeremiah was probably still at the company. She went upstairs to change her clothes and then headed t
The secretary nodded. Jeremiah was delighted at first. After all, Astrid was back! However, at the next moment, he and Rory exchanged a severe look. The office was not large enough to hide.Jeremiah suddenly glanced towards the adjacent lounge. He walked over, hesitated momentarily before gently pushing the door open. Inside, Mable was wearing an eye mask and reclining in a soft chair, asleep.Rory also approached, and upon seeing Mable, they both looked somewhat surprised. It was indeed Mable!Jeremiah walked in and lightly tapped Mable's shoulder. "Hmm!" Mable was abruptly awakened and removed her eye mask. She looked at the man in front of her, still somewhat drowsy. "Have you finished your meeting?"Jeremiah looked at Mable and nodded. "Yes, how did you end up sleeping here?""I just arrived in Italee at noon, and the jet lag hasn't worn off yet. I was so tired that I decided to take a nap here."Mable yawned. Seeing Rory standing at the door, she looked surpris
“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
