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
On the way, Blair answered a call from Richworth. Halfway through, he turned on his laptop and browsed the stock market while talking to the person on the phone. When the car pulled up in front of the Jefferson Residence, Blair said a few things to the caller before hanging up. “I’m here.” Mable told Blair, “If there’s something urgent in Richworth, you can head back first. Don’t worry about me.” “While there is something urgent, I don’t need to go back to deal with it. I’ll just have an online meeting with my subordinates later.” Mable nodded. Blair rubbed her head. “Go.” Mable got out of the car and waved at him. “Bye.” She was a little reluctant to leave him. Blair nodded. “I’ll call you later.” Mable did not say anything and left. When she returned home, she happened to see the company’s vice president and a department leader preparing to leave. She asked them and found out they had come to report to her grandpa. While she was away, they had been bringin
Mable only stood in front of her grandpa and pursed her lips. Ralph stared at her and said sternly, “Don’t forget who you are. As the heir of the Jeffersons, you can’t be too emotional. Otherwise, how am I going to confidently hand over the family to you?!” “Grandpa, I understand,” Mable said in a low voice while clenching her fists. Ralph looked at her and sighed. “Mabes, don’t blame me for being harsh on you. I’m doing this for your own good. The business world is like a battlefield. The easiest thing to be taken advantage of is one’s feelings. “Our family business is huge, but there are very few of us. Many people are eyeing us. I only have you, and our family can only rely on you…” Toward the end, he sounded a little down. Mable squatted next to him and held his thin hands. “Grandpa, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, our family won’t collapse. I won’t be taken advantage of, so you should have confidence in me.” Ralph gently patted her head. “Mabes, if your dad and bro
“Not yet.” Mable frowned. “Call for room service and eat before you rest.” She remembered he had a bad stomach and could not starve for long. “Okay.” Mable held her phone, sullen as she recalled what her grandpa told her. “Blair.” Blair responded, “Mm, I’m here.” Mable opened her mouth but did not know what to say. “Nothing.” Blair was sharp to notice that she was a little down. “Did something happen? Are you unhappy?” “No.” Mable pretended to yawn. “I’m going to sleep. You should eat and rest too. Good night.” Afterward, she hung up. Someone knocked on the door. Mable stood up to open the door to find it was Hugh. “Boss, can I come in? I have something to tell you.” “Come in.” Mable nodded. Hugh walked in and closed the door. “Boss, something strange happened while you were away.” Mable frowned. If Hugh found it strange, it must not be simple. She sat on the sofa and said, “Tell me everything in detail.” “Two days ago, in the middle of the night
Mable was startled. ‘How does Blair know the lights are on?’ She immediately ran to the balcony and saw Blair standing by his car outside the villa. He held his phone in one hand and put the other in his pocket while looking at her. Her heart thumped. “Why did you come?” “I have many reasons.” Blair gently looked at her. “I wanted to see you before bed. I wanted to say goodnight to you in person. I wanted to make sure you’re well, and I wanted…” There were too many reasons. In the end, he said, “Mabes, I miss you.” Even though they were only separated for a few hours, Blair missed Mable very much. Especially when he noticed her tone on the phone earlier. She seemed to have something on her mind, and he could not resist the urge to see her. Mable looked at Blair in the distance, butterflies in her stomach. She missed him, too. “Have you eaten?” She asked. “Not yet.” “Then wait for me for a bit.” Mable hung up and went back inside. She got changed and hurried
