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
Blair observed Mable’s expression. After taking a sip of his drink, he asked, “Is there something on your mind?” Mable shook her head. She did not want to talk about it. Blair did not press the issue and filled Mable’s glass again. It was almost midnight by the time they were done eating. “Let’s take a walk.” Blair held Mable’s hand, not planning to leave yet. There was a river in the neighborhood with a beautiful neon night view along the banks. At this hour, there were not many people. Blair walked along the bank while holding Mable’s hand. Neither of them spoke. As they walked, Blair suddenly stopped. “What’s the matter?” Mable turned to look at him. “Mabes.” Blair stared at her and said, “Let’s get back together.” Mable was moved. “Get back together?’ “Can you give me a chance to be your boyfriend?” Blair did not mind that someone else was in Mable’s heart. He would replace that person sooner or later and make her love him. “Blair—” Mable had just spok
Mable widened her eyes at Hugh. “It’s so late. Is Grandpa still awake?” Hugh answered, “Yes.” He added after a pause, “Not only is he still awake, but he also knows about your secret date with Blair.” ‘Secret date my ass!’ Mable thought.She glared at Hugh. “Why didn’t you message me to let me know?!” Hugh looked helpless. “I did.” Mable took out her phone and saw that there was indeed a message from Hugh more than ten minutes ago. However, she did not see it. She looked at Blair, at a loss for what to do. On the contrary, Blair was calm. He walked up to hold Mable’s hand and said, “Looks like it can’t wait until tomorrow.” In his opinion, he could visit Old Master Jefferson anytime. Mable shook her head and pushed him into the car. “Why don’t you go back to the hotel first?” She was afraid her grandpa would lose his temper and take it out on Blair. Blair comforted her, “It’s fine. Let’s go.” … The living room was brightly lit. Ralph sat on the sofa with a
“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
