“Mable, you haven't even eaten lunch. If you keep going on like this, your body is going to give out. Even if you don’t have any appetite, you need to eat something at least.” “Mable? Mable...” Suddenly, the door opened. Mable gave Solomon, who stood outside a door, a faint look before stating calmly, “Solomon, I’m thinking of eating out. Why don't you come with me?" "Sure, let me get changed first."Solomon assumed Mable wanted to go out to clear her mind and did not suspect anything else. Besides, it was better that he tag along rather than let her head out by herself. He proceeded to get changed and then headed out with Mable and March. He drove while March sat in the passenger seat. Meanwhile, Mable huddled by herself in the back seat. Mable looked out the car window and would sneak glances at Solomon from time to time. It suddenly occurred to her that though Solomon may seem crude on the outside, he carried himself with remarkable composure and was fairly comp
Solomon’s eyes widened. It took him a while to compose himself. What the hell! Was Mable thinking about marrying someone else? “Mable, you… you don't mean to…” Mable gave him a faint look and expressed with a candid smile, “Yeah, I figured I could use a new husband, and the kids could use a stepfather.” Solomon nearly spat out the cup of tea he was drinking. His eyes grew so wide that it was as if his pupils would fall out of their sockets. Was his ears playing tricks on him? Was Mable not deeply in love with Blair? Why would she be thinking about remarrying? “Mable, it… Are you drunk by any chance?” What a lot of nonsense! Mable frowned. “Do I look drunk to you? Solomon, I'm being serious!” Solomon cast another dumbfounded look before slurring, “But... it hasn’t even been a month since Master Blair passed away. You…” Mable cut him off and stated solemnly, “There’s no use lingering in the past. The only way is forward. I’m so young and still have man
“Blair's feelings for me might have been the effect of the Necro Poison as well. Since it causes the male and female base to be drawn to each other, it explains why we were so in love. In other words, if you were the one who carried the male base inside you, we would have been mindlessly in love with each other too,” Mable said. Solomon slammed the table and shot up from his seat. “That is completely ridiculous!” It was clear that he did not believe in Mable's rhetoric. Mable eyed Solomon indifferently and stated plainly, “Many strange things happen all over the world.” Then, she declared, “Now that Blair is dead, the effects of the male base have worn off, and I no longer feel so strongly about him anymore…” “That is Impossible! Listen to me, Mable, Rory and the others were trying to deceive you!” Solomon immediately retorted. None of what she said added up. Even if Necro Poison did possess such an effect, Mable’s feelings for Blair would not have possibly weakened si
After Mable returned to her bedroom, she clenched her phone tightly and waited patiently for a call. Judging by what she knew of Solomon and Blair’s relationship, she wagered that there was no chance Solomon would not relay today’s conversation to Blair. One thing about Blair was that he was very prone to jealousy. There was no way he could hold his tongue if he found out about her wanting to get remarried. It would be just as Solomon described—the coffin would not hold him. Even if he was truly dead, he was going to resurrect himself and burst out from under the ground. She sat on the couch with her knees tucked in and stared at the display of her phone agitatedly and expectantly. Inside her mind, she continuously rehearsed what she was going to tell Blair once he called. Should she ask if he was hurt first? Maybe she should rant about him lying to her. She could also question him on why he refused to meet her even after knowing she had recovered her memories…
With that, Mable called Joseph. As soon as the call connected and before Mable could speak, Joseph spoke, “Hello, dear Mrs. Fowler.” Mable was taken aback. How did Joseph know it was her when she had barely spoken? Perhaps he had her phone number? She decided not to think too much of it and greeted him, “Hello, Mr. Joseph…” Then, she began by apologizing for not being able to attend his birthday party. Although Joseph was a little disappointed, he was still a rather sensible man and did not attempt to press the issue. “Since you have important things to handle, it’s perfectly fine. It’s just a birthday party anyway. No big deal.” Mable felt relieved upon hearing this. After a few brief exchanges, she hung up. ... Amos had to remain in Fasier to tie up a few loose ends. Meanwhile, Solomon and Mable flew back to Richworth together. It was a more than ten-hour flight from Fasier back to Richworth. It was hard to be stuck inside the plane for so long.
In Richworth. Blair was rather taken aback when he was told that Mable and Solomon would be returning today. “Didn't Joseph invite Mabes to his birthday party tomorrow?” He was in the middle of a video call with Amos. On the display was Amos, who reacted with a conflicted expression before explaining, “She says she misses Spike and Lemon and wants to go home to see them. “She already called Mr. Joseph to apologize for not showing up to his party. I will be heading to the party tomorrow in her place instead to bring him a gift.” Blair gave Amos a suspicious look with narrowed eyes. Amos had been working with him for more than a decade. By now, he knew Amos like the back of his palm. He noticed the way Amos’ eyes flickered when he spoke just now as well as the way Amos seemed to be avoiding his gaze. There had to be something more to this. “Anything else to report?” Blair asked in an icy tone. Amos gave Blair a look and tried to play it cool, “That’s all.” Bl
Solomon was so infuriated that his teeth were clattering. What an immoral woman! He suddenly felt a hint of sympathy for Blair. As soon as he walked out of the airport, he saw Tracey and Arthur waiting for him outside. Upon meeting him, Tracey pranced and waved him over excitedly. “Solomon, over here!” After Solomon approached them, Tracey looked around and wondered, “Where's Mabes?” Solomon handed the luggage to Arthur before stating angrily, “She left earlier through another exit.” “She left?” Arthur could tell Solomon was upset and asked, “Did something happen?” “Let's talk about it inside the car.” Once Solomon was in the car, Tracey burrowed inside after him quickly and asked anxiously, “What's going on?” Solomon crossed his arms and stated sharply, “Mable is looking for a new man.” “Huh?” “What did you say?” Tracey and Arthur cried out in unison with a look of sheer disbelief. “You… Who did you say was going to find a new man?" It took a
At the hospital. Blair was seated upright on the hospital bed. The laptop on his lap was playing the live feed inside the car. He had heard every single word of the conversation that went on inside the car. As it turned out, he was right to suspect there was something off with Mable returning to Richworth ahead of time. He knew Amos had been hiding something from him based on the way Amos was fidgeting last night. Still, he did not expect it to be something so fatal. To think that they were planning to keep on hiding it from him! After wiping traces of blood seeping out the corner of his lips with the back of his hand, he picked up his phone and dialed Solomon's number. Soon, Solomon picked up and stammered into the phone, “Master… Master Blair…” His voice was trembling. “Where did Mabes go?” There was a dull, ominous ring in Blairs’ voice when he spoke. His expression was eerily calm to the point where it completely lacked emotion. If not for the tr
