Blair took a deep breath to suppress the burning desire. He sped up his movements. When he finally bandaged the wound on Mable’s palm, he touched her forehead. “Are you feeling better? Do you want to get up?” It would not be good to soak in cold water for too long. Mable shook her head. While she felt that she had regained her strength a little, it was still uncomfortable. “I’ll soak for a while longer. You can go out.” “I’ll stay with you.” Blair did not want her to leave his sight for even a moment. Mable took a deep breath. “You’re making it harder by looking at me like that.” Blair paused.He stared at Mable for a few seconds before turning around. “I won’t look at you. Call me if there’s anything.” Mable stared at his broad back with mixed feelings. As neither of them spoke, it was dead silent. Mable suddenly said, “Blair, don’t turn your back on others so easily. It’s dangerous.” She could easily strike and harm him if he wanted to. Blair clenched h
Smash! The vase shattered at Blair’s feet. Mable was exasperated. Blair’s face suddenly changed, and he almost immediately realized she had misunderstood. He turned around and saw her lying on the edge of the bathtub. She bit her lip tightly, teary-eyed. “Mabes…” He panicked as soon as she cried. “Get lost! Get out of here! Go!” Mable was angry and anxious. She casually grabbed the bottle of shower gel and smashed it at Blair. ‘How could you love another woman while saying such affectionate words to me? ‘Since you can’t let her go, why did you come to mess with me?’ Mable could not understand and was close to breaking down. Blair did not dodge. He walked to her side, leaned over, and forcefully grabbed her hand. “Mabes, I’ve never said anything to you against my will!” Mable stared at him and scoffed. “Is that so? You’re a great lover, Master Blair!” Blair wiped the tears from her face but was slapped by her instead. “Don’t touch me!” Mable had not fully
Mable forced a laugh. “Were you going to repay her with your body?” Blair twitched his mouth. “Pretty much.” “What about… now?” Mable asked. ‘Do you still want to marry Liv?’ “There are many ways to repay one’s kindness. If I find her, I’ll repay her for saving my life in other ways.” Blair held Mable’s face and kissed her forehead. “I only want to marry you now. You’re the only one who can be Mrs. Fowler. “Not Liv, not anyone else. “Do you understand, Mabes?” Mable looked down and did not say anything. She had been dwelling on this for so long, only to realize that Liv was just an imaginary love rival. Liv was not Blair’s first love but his savior. Blair pressed his forehead against Mable’s and said helplessly, “I would’ve explained to you sooner if I knew you were so bothered by it.” Mable scoffed, still a little emotional. “Whether it was before or now, whenever there was news of Liv, you’ve always left me behind. Of course, I’d misunderstand.” Blair lowere
“Blair, you can leave me alone. I’m fine being on my own for a while,” Mable said. Blair stared at her and asked, “Aren’t you scared?” Mable smiled. “Not anymore.” She was scared before seeing Blair. She was even ready to die with the person who would rape her. At that time, she even thought about how embarrassing it would be when people found out how she died. However, Blair came in the end. The moment she heard his voice, she felt like she returned to heaven from hell. With him around, she was at ease and unafraid. She knew he would protect her no matter what. Blair did not know what Mable was thinking. He sat next to her and let her rest her head on his lap. Then, he gently massaged her scalp to help her relax. After a while, he said, “But Mabes, I’m scared.” Mable looked at him in shock. “Why?” “I’m scared something will happen to you.” Blair stared at her bright eyes and continued, “I’ll never forgive myself if anything happened to you tonight.” Mab
After hearing what Mable said, Blair was curious about her master. “Where is he now?” Mable answered, “He passed away.” Blair was startled. “I’m sorry.” “It’s fine. He reached the end of his life and passed away peacefully.” He did not seem to have any regrets at that time and was even smiling. “How did your brother pass?” Blair suddenly asked. He knew Mable’s parents died in a plane crash. However, the Jeffersons never publicly announced her brother’s death, so there was no news. In fact, not many people knew Mable had a brother who was five years older than her. Mable recalled, “I only know he died of an illness. I don’t know what it was, though.” She was still young then and had little recollection of many things. “If my brother were still alive, he’d definitely be the head of the family now, and I’d be able to do whatever I want, like Tracey. Even if the sky falls, he’ll back me up.” Blair looked dotingly at her. “Without him, you still have me. You can do w
“Ah… Don’t!” Mable was awakened by a nightmare. She got up abruptly and broke out in a cold sweat. “Mabes!” Blair hurried in and saw her sitting blankly on the bed. She was pale, and her chest was heaving violently. He rushed over and embraced her as he asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare? Or are you uncomfortable somewhere?” Mable came back to her senses and buried her face in his neck. She took a deep breath. The familiar scent gave her a sense of security. She hugged his waist and said, “Blair, I had a horrible nightmare.” She had dreamt about the incident five years ago again. It was terrifying. Blair gently patted her back and eased her. “Don’t be scared. You’re fine now. It was just a dream.” Mable closed her eyes and tried hard to force her tears back. Blair rubbed the back of her head and said gently, “Mabes, I’ll always be by your side.” “Blair…” Tears flowed down Mable’s face. She could be strong when no one loved her and sur
Mable was confused. “Dick? Chris?” She was unfamiliar with the names. “Dick was the one whose head you smashed. As for Chris…” Blair’s eyes were filled with killing intent as he said, “He was the one whose men kidnapped you.” Mable was shocked. “You know Dick?” Blair nodded. Mable understood now. She was wondering why Dick ran out instead of taking revenge on her after she smashed his head. Amos looked at Blair and explained, “Chris wanted to cooperate with Master Blair. The room card for this room was given to Master Blair, but Dick took it because Master Blair didn’t want it.” “I see.” Mable raised her eyebrow and looked teasingly at Blair. “What a special gift for you. A beauty to seduce you? I should try it on you next time if I need a favor from you.” She was only joking, but Blair looked seriously at her and said, “Sure.” Mable was speechless.“But I’ll only accept being seduced by you!” … Back at the hotel, Mable packed her stuff and prepared to go hom
‘Boyfriend?’ Mable looked at Blair in confusion. ‘When did you become my boyfriend?’ On the other hand, Hannah looked at Blair in shock. She wondered why he looked so familiar. It turned out he was the famous Master Blair. “Oh, Master Blair. It’s an honor to meet you. I’m Hannah Thompson,” she quickly greeted him. Everyone knew the eldest young master of the Fowlers, the most powerful family in Richworth. Hannah did not expect Mable and Blair to be a couple. Mable broke free from Blair’s hand and rolled her eyes at him. She said to Hannah, “Don’t listen to his nonsense—he’s not my boyfriend.” Hannah looked curiously at them. ‘Did I see that right? Dr. Jefferson rolled her eyes at Master Blair, but he’s still smiling dotingly at her.’ She immediately became gossipy. Just as she wanted to ask more about their relationship, Mable said, “He’s my ex-husband!” Hannah asked, “Ex-husband?!” She suddenly remembered that Blair was married. However, there were rumors he was
“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
