Zoe giggled and looked at Kyle beside her, pouting, “How do you know it’s a boy? What if it’s a girl?”Although they had undergone many prenatal checkups, neither Kyle nor Zoe asked the doctor about whether the baby was a boy or a girl.They did not have a preference for either gender. To Zoe, they were still her and Kyle’s beloved child.Kyle thought the same way.He hugged her shoulders, his tone gentle and indulgent. “It’d be nice if it was a girl. She’ll definitely grow up to be as beautiful as you.”Zoe’s face was full of happiness as she buried her head on his shoulder and nuzzled him, saying coquettishly, “It doesn’t matter if she’s beautiful or not. I just hope she grows up peacefully, healthy, kind, and brave.”Kyle stroked her stomach, feeling surrounded by a warm sense of happiness.In his life, he was happy enough to be with Zoe.This child was a blessing from the heavens for him.“By the way, I saw some stuff online. Take a look.”Zoe suddenly thought of somethin
From that day on, Kyle would carefully apply the body oil to Zoe’s belly and thighs every night.It really worked. After a few months of persistence, the stretch marks on her belly had faded so much that they were almost invisible, and no new ones popped up.Kyle recalled the scene when Zoe tearfully asked if he would dislike her because of her marks and could not help but smile.How could he dislike her? She was his precious darling that he finally won over.In fact, he was worried that she would dislike him.Perhaps, one day, she would regain her memory and remember the past. Then, she would not want him anymore...“Ky.”Zoe’s voice interrupted his thoughts.“Hm?”“I want to go to Royal View Villa tomorrow to see Mabes. I want to check on her.”Zoe sighed and added, “It’s been some time since Master Blair passed away. I wonder if Mabes has come out of her grief.”Her heart broke for Mable.Kyle massaged her calves while saying, “Not tomorrow. She’ll be very busy these nex
Now that she was seven months pregnant, the baby’s movements had become much more frequent.Kyle placed both hands on Zoe’s belly and felt the slight movements of the baby inside.He lowered his head and spoke to the baby gently, “Baby, be good. Mommy has been working hard carrying you. Don’t kick her anymore.”Zoe looked at Kyle, her face showing a sweet smile.She guessed that she might be having a son. After all, it was usually the boys who would be so active. The baby in her belly seemed to understand his daddy’s words and quieted down.Kyle leaned over and kissed her swollen belly.“It tickles.”Zoe touched the spot that Kyle kissed and laughed.Kyle helped her to lie on her side and placed a pillow behind her waist. “Go to sleep. I’ll be here with you.”“Mm.”“What do you want to eat for lunch? I’ll have someone make it for you so you can eat when you wake up.”“Anything works, but...” Zoe pursed her lips and said, “I really want peaches.”Kyle stroked her hair fond
Kyle squatted by her feet and helped her put on her socks.Zoe looked at him and asked, “There’s a yoga class this afternoon. Do you want to join?”Since becoming pregnant, Zoe had to attend three prenatal yoga classes every week. A specialized yoga instructor would come to teach her in the private gym in the backyard.Kyle raised his head and said with a smile, “Of course. I’ll be with you all day today.”Zoe blinked. “Aren’t you busy?”Yesterday, he left early and only came back in the evening. Then, he had left again after dinner and returned this morning.“I’m almost done with my work.”Kyle sat beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. “Besides, no matter how busy I am, I want to accompany you to the yoga class.”He had been busy catching Jeremiah the past few days. Now that they had him, he was not as busy.Furthermore, Solomon had returned. So, Kyle could hand over the rest of the tasks to him.At this point, Kyle just wanted to accompany Zoe. With her pregnancy
In the Goodman residence’s backyard basement, Kyle looked at Jeremiah locked up inside, his face expressionless.“What did you want to tell me, Mr. Muller?”In the dim basement, Jeremiah’s hands were handcuffed behind his back. His hair was disheveled, there were bruises on his lips, and his white shirt was stained with blood.Both sides got into a fight during last night’s capture. Being outnumbered, Jeremiah naturally suffered injuries.Kyle had a doctor look at him. However, since they were all superficial wounds and not life-threatening, he left Jeremiah be.It was fine as long as Jeremiah was still breathing.Jeremiah raised his head, his eyes bloodshot after several days without sleep. He looked rather terrifying.“Where’s Eugenie?” He asked in a hoarse voice.If they had not deliberately leaked her whereabouts, he would not have taken such a risk and ended up getting caught.Kyle looked at him and smirked meaningfully. “Heh...”Seeing Jeremiah’s anxiousness, he slowed
‘Eugenie...’Kyle looked at Jeremiah and frowned deeply. “What do you mean?”Jeremiah said indifferently, “Eugenie is a South Jumonte poison master. If you want to know, ask her.”Then, Jeremiah stopped speaking.He knew that Kyle would not tell him where Jeremiah was, so it was meaningless to ask further.Jeremiah was now extremely grateful that he took the poison that year. At least, in such a situation, he would know at any time whether she was safe.As long as she was alive, he would have the chance to find her again.Kyle stared at Jeremiah for a few seconds with furrowed brows, then finally turned and left.‘Our lives are bound to each other. We share life and death together.’Recalling what Jeremiah said, Kyle felt a bit uneasy.What did Jeremiah mean by that?Kyle thought about it and decided to tell Eugenie about this tomorrow.Back in the bedroom, he changed into his pajamas and lay down. Zoe moved closer to him.“Where did you go?” Her voice was soft with a nasa
At the airport, Eugenie bought a ticket for noon back to South Jumonte with a connecting flight to a different city.She had been away from South Jumonte for many years but did not intend to stay long after returning this time. She only planned to take a look and visit the Tonham area next.At ten in the morning, Eugenie arrived at the airport and was just about to check in her luggage when her phone rang.It was from Kyle. They exchanged numbers a few days ago when they asked her for help.Why was he calling her now?“Hello, Mr. Goodman?” Eugenie answered the phone.Immediately, Kyle’s voice said, “It’s me, Ms. Landon. I have something to tell you. Is it convenient for you to talk?”Eugenie walked to a quieter place. “Sure, go ahead.”Kyle said, “I went to see Jeremiah last night, and he said some incomprehensible things to me. I thought it was necessary to tell you.”Eugenie frowned and gripped her phone tightly.What did Jeremiah say to Kyle?After a few seconds of silenc
Eugenie squatted on the ground, hugging herself tightly as Jeremiah’s words echoed in her ears.Her rationality told her Jeremiah was lying and that it was impossible.However, for some reason, a humble hope emerged in her heart.What if he was telling the truth?Eugenie hugged her head, trembling like a leaf. “No... It’s impossible. It’s fake. Eugenie Landon, he’s just a liar. His words can’t be trusted.”He deceived and abandoned her. How could he share life and death with her if he clearly did not take the Lifebond Poison?Moreover, without love, the Lifebond Poison would not work.“Miss, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?” A kind samaritan saw Eugenie crouching on the ground, seemingly in pain, and came forward to ask.Eugenie raised her head, her vision somewhat blurred.The person saw her tear-streaked face and felt at a loss. “Uh, Miss... Are you okay? Do you need help?”“I’m fine, thank you.”Eugenie wiped the tears on her face and stood up with the help of her lu
