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
“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
