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
Mable left the company with an uneasy heart. It was not until she walked out of the company's gate that she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had overheard the conversation between Jeremiah and Rory, with Jeremiah mentioning he placed a restriction on her.However, Mable had yet to learn what he meant by that. Could it be hypnosis? She recalled what Spike had said to her. If that really were the case, it meant she had been deceived all along. The thought sent a chill down her spine. Jeremiah had hypnotized her!As Mable sat in her car, she could not calm her emotions for long. Eventually, she regained her composure and remembered Rory's mention of Wilbur having someone around him. So, she took out her phone and dialed Blair's number.The call was quickly answered. Before Mable could say anything, she heard Blair's voice filled with coldness, "Mabes, you finally remembered to call me!""Blair, please don't be angry. I have something important to tell you."Blair's
After ending his call with Mable, Blair immediately dialed Wilbur's number and recounted the information Mable had shared. Once he was done, Blair asked, "You only have Eugenie and Anthony with you. Who do you think might have betrayed you?"Wilbur remained silent momentarily before responding, "Since he’s trying to steal my prescription, let’s set a trap to expose the traitor."Blair agreed, "I was thinking the same. I'll come to the hotel to discuss it with you later.""Alright."On Wilbur's end, he hung up the phone and subconsciously glanced toward Anthony's room. Both Eugenie and Anthony were suspects, but his suspicion of Anthony was stronger.After breakfast, Wilbur handed a prescription to Anthony, saying, "Go to the market and buy these ingredients for me."“Didn’t you just buy some? Why do you need to buy them again?”Anthony received the prescription and glanced at it. He did not understand the ingredients' pharmacological details or purpose. Nonchalantly, Wilbu
Meanwhile, in Italee.Upon learning that Mable had returned, Jeremiah came home early in the afternoon. During dinner, he inquired about what had been happening in Richworth and the status of her relationship with Blair.Mable briefly recounted the recent events in Richworth and paused before stating, "As long as we're not divorced, I am still Blair's wife, and that won't change."Jeremiah furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Astrid, as long as you want a divorce, I can help you with it right away."Mable interrupted him with a smile, "Jeremiah, it's not the right time yet. Haven't you forgotten the purpose of our trip to Richworth?"Jeremiah's brows furrowed even tighter as he mentioned, "I wanted to ask you about that. You've been in Richworth for a long time, and you still haven't taken action. Can we afford to wait any longer for Little Lemon's situation?"Mable played with her food, not looking at him, and calmly said, "Don't worry. Everything is going according to my pl
Blair wore a cold expression and spoke calmly, "You've asked everyone, but why didn't you ask me?"Mable was amused by his words. ‘This man is so petty.’ She had just asked if he was having breakfast. Mable replied, "I can practically see you. Do I really need to ask how you are?"Blair sipped his coffee and said, "I guess you don’t care about me."Realizing that Blair was upset about her leaving without saying anything, Mable tried to appease him, "All right, it's my fault. I apologize. I'm sorry."Before Blair could respond, their son, Spike, said, "Daddy, a man should be more generous. Mommy already apologized, and you're still acting cold."Mable could not help but burst into laughter at their son's words.Blair glanced at their son and said, "If you're done eating, head to school.""Mommy, I'm going to school now!"Nicki also spoke up, "I've finished eating too. Goodbye, Auntie Mabes, goodbye, Uncle Blair. Wait for me, Hubert!"After the two children left, Blair final
“Hey, Mable.” Mable immediately probed as soon as Kyle picked up, “Kyle, Blair told me you arrived in Italee. Where are you now?” “I just arrived at Solomon's place.” Kyle was aware that the reason Mable was calling him was to talk about Zoe. He then asked without being prompted, “Are you calling to give me updates about Zoe?” “No updates yet. I just wanted to tell you I’m in Italee as well. I’m going to Rory’s place to meet Zoe tomorrow morning. So, don’t do anything reckless before that.” Kyle was caught off guard by this. “You came to Italee too?” “Yeah, we can work out a time to meet up after I see Zoe tomorrow. Just remember what I told you, and don’t do anything reckless. All that’s going to do is hurt Zoe instead of helping her. Do you understand?” “Okay, you have my word.” Kyle paused for a moment before asking, “Did you come with Blair?” Mable answered, “I came by myself.” Kyle was surprised that Blair would let Mable come to Italee by herself.
Adam was aware that Mable did not come to see Rory but Zoe. Just as he thought, Mable immediately stated, “I came to see Zoe. Is she doing okay?” Adam nodded and assured her, “Don't worry, we’ve given her an antidote and assigned a nutritionist to provide her with customized meals all day. She’s doing fine.” “I want to see her.” Adam seemed troubled by the request and shook his head. “No.” Mable responded by tapping his shoulder and remarking with a wry smile, "Adam, you’re a man. Don’t make a habit out of saying no.” Adam was speechless. Then, Mable swept an icy glare at the bodyguards and suddenly dialed up her aggression. “Move!” The group of bodyguards were taken aback by this. They exchanged looks before turning their attention to Adam. Adam fixed a look on Mable and advised her, “Mable, don’t make things difficult for me, please. You can’t enter unless Rorr allows it.” Mable crossed her arms across her chest and nodded firmly. “Sure, I’ll make this e
“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
