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
Mable and Arthur were not hungry, so they only ordered drinks. Before long, the waiter delivered two sets of meals. Mable looked at Spike in disbelief. “Spike, can you finish everything?” Spike looked at the food in front of him, took a deep breath, and nodded. ‘If I eat slowly, I can drag this out and stay longer with Mommy.’ Arthur was impressed. “You can really eat!” Mable glared at him and told him off, “What do you know? It’s a blessing!” As long as Spike could eat, it did not matter how much he ate. Mable rubbed Spike’s head and said, “Eat up. It’ll be my treat today.” Spike nodded and began eating slowly. Mable suddenly remembered something and asked Arthur, “Call the hotel reception and ask if any of their guests lost their child.” “Okay.” Arthur went out to make the call. Soon, he returned and said, “Ms. Jefferson, a couple staying at the hotel is indeed looking for their lost child. I told them the address, and they said they’re coming now.” Mable no
The car door opened, and the woman who had just claimed to be Spike’s mother stepped out of the car. She stood respectfully by the door. “Little Master, please.” Spike sniffled and got out of the car with the teddy bear in his arms. Then, he got into another car parked next to them. “She didn’t notice, did she?” Ava asked the couple. “Don’t worry. We acted realistically just now and made sure not to expose anything.” “That’s good.” The couple received their money and left. Ava sat in the passenger seat of the other car and looked back at Spike, who kept rubbing his eyes in the back seat. “You cried?” Spike glared at her and snorted stubbornly. Ava chuckled. She looked at the teddy bear and asked, “Who bought it for you?”Spike mouthed, ‘Mommy.’ Ava nodded and then saw him open his mouth again. He asked, ‘Can I see her again?’ Ava answered, “Probably… not.” It was a coincidence this time that Rory’s second personality agreed to let Spike meet Mable. Given Ro
“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
