“You want to see him? Fine, but I’ll go with you,” Blair said. Mable held her forehead and forced a laugh. “I wouldn’t dare let you two meet again. I wouldn’t know who to help if you fought!” Blair stared at her with a straight face. “You can help him if you like him!” Mable tsked. ‘Jealous much?’“I can’t be bothered talking to you. I’m going to take a shower!” Mable went to the bathroom. On the other hand, Blair walked to the balcony and called Arthur. “Look into Rory Hammond’s background. I want some results tomorrow morning.” “Understood, Master Blair.” After hanging up, Blair looked at the night sky with a ruthless glint in his eyes. All of a sudden, a ringtone came from the living room. Blair walked over to find that Mable’s phone was ringing. He picked it up and saw the caller ID—Rorr. ‘A nickname. ‘She saved my contact with my full name, whereas she used Rory’s nickname for his…’ Blair squeezed the phone tightly and answered the call after a moment
‘Whose adorable kid is this?!’ Mable could not help but look a few more times. Perhaps sensing someone was looking at him, the little boy turned to look at her. Both were stunned when their eyes met. Mable’s heart tightened without reason, as if she was deeply touched. She stared at the boy’s eyes. Somehow, they looked especially familiar. It was as though she had seen them before. Arthur looked at the boy and remarked, “The boy has Master Blair’s eyes.” No wonder Mable thought they seemed familiar. Upon closer look, she realized that the boy’s eyes were indeed similar to that of Blair. The boy was unsupervised and by himself. Mable walked over after some thought and kneeled beside him. “Kid, why are you here alone? Where are your mom and dad?” The boy stared at her and pursed his lips without saying anything. “Hm?” Mable asked the boy again. The boy still kept quiet, but his eyes suddenly turned red. “Hey, don’t cry, don’t cry. Did you lose them? I’ll hel
Spike nodded. “Okay. Let’s go there, but it’s quite far,” Mable said. Then, she said to Arthur, “Arthur, please get us some cookies, bread, and drinks from the convenience store next door.” The cafe was quite far from where they were and would take close to an hour. So, Mable wanted to prepare some snacks for Spike in case he got hungry along the way. Arthur nodded and opened the car door. “Okay. Get in the car first. I’ll be back in a while.” As Mable carried Spike into the car, he kissed her face. He held up his phone to show her what he just typed: [Thank you, auntie. I like you, pretty auntie.] There was even a cute hugging emoticon at the end of the sentence. Mable felt her heart melt. She caressed Spike’s head. “You’re welcome. I quite like you, too.” For some reason, she felt Spike was well-behaved and adorable since she first saw him. She could not help but want to hug him and get close to him. … Meanwhile, Hurlingham Club. It was quiet and bright in th
“Mr. Fowler, you must be joking. Mabes and I have known each other for over a decade. We’re so close that we can understand each other’s feelings with a glance. How can you say I’m an outsider?”Rory took a sip of wine and looked disdainfully and coldly at Blair. “On the contrary, she married you when she lost her memory and divorced you immediately after she regained it. That seems like she doesn’t have feelings for you.” Blair sat with his knees together, emotionless. “I was the one who asked for the divorce.” Rory frowned slightly and sneered. “In that case, why are you pestering her? “There’s a saying that a qualified ex should be as good as dead.” Blair frowned. He recalled Mable saying the same thing. He looked coldly at Rory and responded, “I’m not a qualified ex, so I’m pursuing her again now.” “Pursuing her?” Rory looked teasingly at Blair. “Mr. Fowler, given your conditions, you can have any beauty you want. Why waste time going after an ex?” Blair stared a
“Grand Vin de Château Latour.” Blair did not need to drink the red wine to recognize it came from Château Latour, the world’s top winery. It was at least 20 years old. Rory finished his wine in one go and asked with a smile, “Mr. Fowler, are you afraid I’ll poison you?” Blair swirled his glass and answered, “I’m injured. Mabes won’t let me drink.” Rory sized him up. He could not see where exactly he was injured. Nonetheless, he felt a little jealous after hearing that. “I didn’t think she’d be so concerned about her ex-husband.” Blair looked at the time and stood up. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.” “Since you’ve come, why don’t we have some fun?” Rory lazily stood up and suggested, “There’s a shooting range downstairs. How about you show me what you can do?” Blair looked askance at him and narrowed his dark eyes slowly before saying, “Sure.” … Steiff Teddy Bear’s kids' cafe. When Mable brought Spike inside, as they were both attractive,
Smack!Spike slammed the menu on the table with force and glared at the waitress. Mable and Arthur were both stunned by his sudden action. Why did the soft and adorable boy suddenly get angry? Mable was about to speak when Spike typed something on the phone. He showed it to the waitress: [He’s not my dad!] The waitress saw it and instantly understood that she was mistaken. She immediately bowed and apologized, “I’m so sorry. I thought you were a family.” Only then did Mable realize Spike was mad that the waitress said Arthur was his dad. ‘Why wasn’t he angry when the waitress misunderstood me as his mom? ‘Who knows?’ To prevent further misunderstanding, Mable said, “We’re his aunt and uncle.” The waitress was rather surprised as she thought Mable and Spike looked quite like mother and son. Spike hugged Mable’s arm and looked pitifully at her. Mable touched his face and said, “Be good, Spike. Let’s eat first, okay? We’ll go find your mom and dad after that.” S
Spike lovingly hugged the teddy bear and sat on Mable’s lap. He suddenly wrapped his arms around her neck and kissed her cheek. Following that, he moved his mouth but did not make a sound. Even so, Mable knew he was saying thank you. She smiled at him and responded, “You’re welcome. As long as you like it.” After playing with him for a while, Mable went to the bathroom. When she came out, she saw a few boys slightly older than Spike surrounding him. They tried to snatch his teddy bear and shouted at him for being mute… Mable was furious when she saw the scene before her. ‘How dare those brats bully Spike?!’ “What are you doing?!” Mable hurried over. As soon as Spike saw her, he ran toward her, looking as if he was going to cry. Mable squatted down and caught the adorable boy. “What’s wrong? They bullied you, didn’t they?” Spike buried his head in her arms and nodded. When the three brats saw that Mable was there, they made silly faces at Spike and teased that
Mable slapped the woman, making her dizzy. “You! How dare you hit me!” The woman screamed while covering her face. Mable shielded Spike behind her. Strongly, she said, “Why not? You said such vicious words to a kid. No wonder your child is so uneducated!” ‘I couldn’t hit your son, but I can hit you!’ The three brats were frightened by Mable’s actions. They backed away and hid behind Ollie’s mom. “How can you justify yourself after hitting someone?! Don’t you dare leave! I’m calling the police!” The woman was scared after being slapped by Mable. She did not dare to fight her and threatened to call the police. “Sure, go ahead!” Mable was not afraid of her. She was not going to let this go! The three boys were a little guilty when they heard that. They cried and told the truth. In the end, the waiter checked the surveillance and found that Mable had not touched the boys. Instead, the boys wanted to snatch Spike’s teddy bear. After looking at the surveillance, Ollie’s
