Mable was originally planning to lie down with Blair for a while until he fell asleep. Then, she would check on the children. Who would have thought it would turn out like this? After she stepped out of the bathroom and got changed. She noticed Blair sitting up in bed, staring at her with a snarky smile. “Quit smiling at me!” Mable blushed and became flustered. Blair gestured for her to approach. Mable shot him a glare but approached nonetheless. Blair gently took her hand and took his time kissing every single finger before stating sincerely, “Mabes, we’re a married couple. There’s no need to be shy about doing it.” He was right that Mable was very embarrassed. She wanted to find a hole to hide in. Still, she was very content. She withdrew her hand and helped Blair settle into the blankets before telling him, “Hurry up and get some rest. I’ll wake you up in forty minutes.” A forty-minute nap was plenty. She was worried Blair would have trouble sleeping
Mable smiled and gestured to Aunt Grace with a nod. “Go on.” Then, she went to see Spike, only to find he was not in his bedroom. The housemaid informed her that Spike was in the media room. So, Mable headed upstairs and found Spike watching an international hacker tournament. He was very focused on the screen and hardly noticed Mable stepping inside. He was even taking notes on his computer while watching, his expression very serious. Mable watched for a moment before drawing closer to him and sat down. “Mommy?” Spike noticed her at last. “Weren’t you with Daddy?” “Daddy is taking a nap.” Mable rested a hand on Spike's shoulder and gently ruffled his hair. “Mummy has been in the hospital lately and hasn’t been paying too much attention to your kids. Are you angry at me?” “Of course not.” Spike assured her before asking, “Is Daddy’s leg going to get better?” Mable nodded confidently. “Of course it is, don't worry.” "That’s great.” Spike paused for a mom
Kyle had brought Zoe to the hospital for a prenatal check-up in the morning. Since the results would only be available until later the same afternoon, they waited in the hospital lounge after the check-up was complete. They had lunch in the hospital as well. Knowing that Blair had been discharged from the hospital today, they decided to pay a visit to the villa after obtaining the test results in the afternoon. “Blair, Mable." Kyle greeted the couple. Zoe addressed Blair with a beaming smile, “Blair, it’s good to see that you’re still alive.” Blair nodded with a pleasant smile and ordered for tea to be served. “Zoe, how are you doing?” Mable held Zoe's hand and sat down on the couch before turning to Kyle to enquire equally, “Did you bring her for a prenatal check-up today? What did the doctor say?” Kyle stated, “The baby is only a little underweight but otherwise largely healthy.” Zoe sighed while fondling her bulging belly. She remarked with a hint of conce
Blair lowered the look in his eyes and unconsciously tugged at the cuffs of his shirt while stating faintly, “No need. Mabes knows what she’s doing.” Kyle nodded. “I’ll talk to her later.” “By the way, there is this one thing I forgot to tell you,” Blair suddenly prompted. He frowned upon reaching this mention. “The day after Jeremiah was captured, Connor called Mabes. He was aware that Jeremiah ended up in our hands.” “Huh?” Kyle cocked an eyebrow. “How did he find out so quickly?” Kyle had been careful in sealing all information channels and also kept Jeremiah locked up in the Goodmans’ house. He doubted his men could have leaked the information. Blair gave him a look. “That’s what I’ve been trying to figure out as well.” Kyle pondered, “You mean… there’s a mole among us? Or maybe someone is spying on us from the dark?’ Whichever it was, their security had been compromised. A dark look glowed in Blair's eyes, and his tone became eerily severe. “We can’t let
Mable had always been very fond of the rose garden Blair gave to her. Due to her losing her memory, she forgot about those endearing times. Looking back now, she found that the one thing she missed most was the rose garden. It was such a shame it was removed. Blair turned to Mable. With a sincere look, he said, “The rose garden is still around. I only had them transplant it to Mair Manor. I can have them bring it back here at any time.” Mable remembered Tracey telling her about this as well. Not only had Blair transplanted all the roses to Mair Manor, but he had also significantly expanded its lot. Mable walked up in front of Blair and knelt in front of him with her hands placed on his knees. She spoke with a soft smile, “No need to do that. We can always go down to Mair Manor whenever we want.” There were also plenty of memories in Mair Manor. Blair cupped Mable's face tenderly with an affectionate look in his eyes. “After everything is dealt with, we can even
She loved him so, so much… Blair sighed and planted a kiss down Mable’s neck. “Don't ever leave me again. I promise I won't let anyone take you away from me again!” “I will never leave.” Their fingers intertwined. Except for death, nothing else nor anyone could separate them. No! Not even death could separate them! Mable took charge and kissed Blair passionately. Then, she declared with conviction, “We will never be separated.” “Mabes…” The atmosphere inside the house was warm and cozy. A gush of autumn wind blew outside and filtered into the dense leaves of the trees. They had a wonderful night together… ... At the Goodmans. Kyle had brought Zoe home. After she fell asleep, he got up and went to the study to make a phone call. “I need you to look into something…” Once he was done relaying instructions, he hung up. Then, he stood in front of the French window, looking out of the study. An icy gleam appeared in his eyes, and his demeanor was
Solomon did not stay long at Royal View Villa. He said he had things to attend to and left before lunch. After leaving the villa, Solomon drove to the television station.He parked his car downstairs, took out his phone, and called Ines. It took several rings before she picked up."Hello.""I'm outside your company. Let's have lunch together."Ines, who worked at the television station as a program editor, responded indifferently over the phone, "Not today. I'm quite busy."Solomon raised an eyebrow, glanced at the office building across the street, and smirked. "Even if you're busy, you still need to eat. I'll feel sorry for you if you starve.""I have a meeting in the afternoon. I’ll grab something in the cafeteria for lunch."Solomon frowned, about to say something, but Ines interrupted. "That's it. I have to go."Before Solomon could respond, she hung up.He looked at the disconnected call, a barely noticeable furrow appearing on his brow.She got some nerve hanging u
Ines quietly listened as Shawn endlessly praised his nephew, not understanding much of what was being said. She remained silent.After talking for a while and noticing Ines’ lack of response, Shawn thought she was being polite. "How about this? I'll give him your WhatsApp. You can have a meal together sometime and get to know each other.""I'd rather not."Ines wanted to refuse, but Shawn insisted. "Come on, you're single anyway. Meeting up won't hurt; you can still be friends if you don't click romantically."Shawn was so enthusiastic and had said so much that Ines felt refusing would be rude. After some thought, she smiled and agreed. "Okay, thank you, Director Shawn."Ines thought meeting up with the other person would be fine. He seemed so impressive; maybe he would not be interested in her. Ines felt less pressure with this in mind.Shawn nodded satisfactorily. "I'll give him your WhatsApp later, and you two can chat. I'm sure you'll have a lot to talk about."Ines smil
