Mable recounted her recent phone call with Rory to Blair. As the video call had not ended, Solomon heard everything Mable said."So, Rory has recovered his primary personality, regrets his actions, and canceled the cooperation with Joseph. Is that why Joseph's operation didn't involve Secret this time?" Solomon speculated.Mable nodded. "Seems like it."From their conversation, Mable could tell Rory regretted his actions. It was not just regret but also self-blame and remorse. That was why she had to bite her tongue and refrain from scolding him earlier. Having Dissociative Identity Disorder was not his fault. However, she could not just casually say it was okay, considering the substantial harm he had caused her. If Rory could not fully control his alter ego, they were better off never seeing each other again.Solomon continued, "If that's the case, things just got much simpler."With no need to worry about Secret causing trouble, they could focus solely on dealing with
Mable nodded, smiling as she told Rahman, "Yeah, it's a guy.""Do I know him?""Yeah, you do."Rahman asked, and Mable replied, one after another.At that moment, Blair's phone also rang. He glanced at the caller ID, then whispered to Mable, "I have to take this call."Mable said, "Sure."Rahman continued, "But wait, it's past ten in Richworth. Who are you with at this hour? Some playboy?""He’s not a playboy," Mable said.Rahman's tone grew excited. "Not a playboy? Come on, Mable, don't tell me you've found someone new?"Mable looked towards Blair, who was on the balcony talking on the phone, and smiled. "It's not someone new; it's my past lover.""Past lover?" Rahman did not believe it. "You have another one whom I also know? It's not Hugh, is it?""Stop guessing randomly; it's not!" Rahman was getting anxious. "Quit keeping me in suspense. Who is it?"He knew Mable had deep feelings for Blair. It had not even been half a year since Blair's death. She could not possibly
Mable held her phone, watching Rahman on the video call. "Rahman, don't be mad," she said.Rahman chuckled. He looked at Mable and sincerely said, "I'm not mad. Although Blair isn't very likable, I know you'll be fine if he's okay. If he's alive, it is good news. I’m happy for you."Rahman stared at Mable and emphasized each word, "Really, Mable, congratulations."His greatest hope was for her to meet good people, fulfill her wishes, and receive what she gave.Her future would be filled with happiness so long as Blair was alive.Mable looked at Rahman, feeling moved, and nodded earnestly. "Rahman, thank you."Mable felt fortunate to have such a sincere friend.Rahman said, "Some trivial matters here need my attention. After I'm done, I'll come to Richworth to see you."Before officially becoming the heir, he could still move freely without reporting. Once it was announced, it would not be so easy to leave the country.Mable nodded. "Okay."Mable chatted a little more with Rah
Mable and Blair had experienced ups and downs in their relationship over the years. Both had been through a lot, so they cherished each other more and hoped for a simple and happy life together.Blair leaned down to kiss Mable's lips, his voice husky, "Remember we talked about traveling the world once everything's settled? How about we go when Little Lemon is older and can be away from us?""Huh?" Mable blinked. "Without the kid?""Yep!" He just wanted to spend quality time alone with Mable and make up for all the lost years.Blair said, "Spike and Nicki are old enough to care for their sister. No need to worry."Mable smiled and cupped his face. "Are you sure? What if Spike and Nicki don't want to?"Blair gently massaged Mable's scalp, sounding confident as he said, "They will. Taking care of their sister is their responsibility as older siblings."Then, Blair kissed her. "Don't you want to spend quality time alone with me?"Mable replied, "I do."Blair smiled satisfactoril
Tracey had nothing to do that morning, so she headed to Royal View Villa. Upon entering the house, the maid informed her that Mable was in the children's room playing with Lemon while Blair was in the garden. Tracey went straight to the garden, intending to greet Blair first. However, as she approached him from behind, she overheard him talking to someone on the phone. "Think you can keep it a secret forever? Arthur, Trace will find out sooner or later."Tracey froze in her tracks, her expression changing slightly. That sentence contained a lot of information, and she found it hard to digest all at once. Her brother was on the phone with Arthur, and they were keeping something from her!What could it be? Why would Blair say they could not keep it a secret forever? What had Arthur done?In just a few seconds, Tracey's mind conjured up countless possibilities.Seeing Blair hang up the phone, she said, "Blair, what were you and Arthur talking about?"Blair stiffened at th
Blair recalled when Arthur knelt before him and confessed his love for Tracey. If he did not love him, he would not have done that.It was for Tracey that Arthur decided to betray James and stand on his own.Thinking back on the days she spent with Arthur, Tracey's heart grew heavier.She sobbed, "Blair, Arthur never seemed to consider marrying me or spending his life with me."Blair's brows furrowed even more. "Why would you say that?""I hinted at marriage to him, but he didn't react at all. Also…"Tracey lowered her head, embarrassed to say the rest.When they were together, she intentionally teased Arthur, saying she did not want to use protection. However, Arthur's face changed immediately, and he disagreed.At the time, Tracey was a little annoyed. Was he so worried about her getting pregnant? Their relationship was so good that they could naturally consider marriage if she did get pregnant.However, Arthur did not think that way.Blair stared at Tracey. She had menti
Blair watched as Tracey cried like a teary mess and patted her shoulder. "Stop crying. It's Arthur who's injured, not you. He didn't cry, so why are you?"Tracey lifted her head and glared at him. "Can't I feel sorry for my boyfriend? If Mabes were hurt, I don't believe you wouldn't feel sad enough to cry.""Tracey?"Mable came down from upstairs to find Tracey crying and thought Blair had bullied her again."Why are you crying? What happened?" Mable asked with concern.Seeing Mable, Tracey's tears flowed even more profusely. "Mabes.""Alright, alright, don't cry. Tell me, what happened? Did your brother bully you?" Mable glared at Blair as she spoke, “Why are you bullying Tracey?”"Not me, it's Arthur."Misunderstood by his wife, Blair felt wronged and explained the situation to Mable.After listening, Mable took Tracey back to their room and comforted her. "Solomon said Arthur's injuries aren't life-threatening, and he didn't want to worry you. That’s why he didn't tell yo
She did not notice the driver glancing at her through the rearview mirror.Soon, Solomon sent another message. [What driver? Tracey, where are you?]Tracey looked at Solomon's message, feeling puzzled. Before she could reply, her phone rang.It was Solomon calling.Just as Tracey was about to answer, the car suddenly braked sharply. She lost her balance, leaning forward due to inertia, and her phone fell to the floor."Ah!" Tracey's head hit the front seat's headrest.She held her throbbing head, and as she looked up, she saw the driver holding a spray bottle and spraying it toward her.The pungent smell of chemicals instantly filled the car, catching Tracey off guard. She inadvertently took a few breaths, feeling dizzy in an instant.The phone continued to ring, but Tracey had no strength to pick it up.Gradually, her consciousness became blurred.…Outside the airport.Solomon ran towards the airport while dialing Tracey's phone.He called three or four times, but Tracey
“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
