Mable sighed and leaned back in her chair. She took her phone out and prepared to transfer money to Blair. “Tell me, how much do you want?” Blair was confused.‘She wants to throw money at me?!’ Mable continued to ask, “8,000 dollars? 15,000 dollars? 30,000 dollars?” Seeing Blair’s face turn dark and that he did not say anything, Mable crossed her legs and purposely frowned with disgust. “The most expensive gigolo in Richworth is only 15,000 dollars or so. Is 30,000 dollars still too little for you?” “Mable!” The veins on Blair’s forehead were bulging. Mable was treating him like a gigolo! She could really infuriate him to his death! Mable tucked her hair behind her ear and asked, “Besides, what will happen to your first love if we don’t divorce? “You’re not wanting to have more than one partner, are you? Are you so greedy that you want to keep your marriage while still having affairs outside?” “What nonsense are you talking about?!” Blair looked speechlessly at Ma
Mable was speechless. An indescribable annoyance rose in her heart. How did she not realize before this that Blair was a shameless and thick-faced *sshole?! “Whatever you want!” Mable said snappily. ‘If you don’t want a divorce, so be it. In the worst case, we’ll be unfaithful to each other. I’m not scared!’ In her opinion, Blair was interested in her on a whim. The more she went against him, the more he was interested in her and wanted to conquer her. If she were as “docile” as before, it would not take long for him to lose interest in her. Mable added, “My grandpa has been chronically poisoned. You must find the best doctor to treat him.” Blair was surprised. “Old Master Jefferson has been chronically poisoned?” ‘Didn’t the Jeffersons announce to the public that he had a stroke and is paralyzed? How could he be chronically poisoned?’ Mable poked Blair’s chest hard with her index finger. “In any case, listen up, Blair. If anything happens to my grandpa, I’ll never le
Blair ran back to the bedroom to find Mable no longer inside. ‘That d*mned woman!’ Furious, Blair ordered, “Find her!” ‘Mable, let’s see where you can go!’ … As soon as Rahman picked Mable up, he drove back to the hotel. He was furious when he learned Blair had kidnapped Old Master Jefferson to hold Mable back so they would not get a divorce. “Mabes, if there’s no other choice…” Rahman made the gesture of slitting his throat. “Kill him. Widowhood makes you single again anyway!” Mable held her forehead. “Blair saved my life, after all. It’d be unkind of me to do that.” “Tsk!” Rahman looked at her askance. “Are you kidding me? You have an angelic face but a devilish heart, yet you care about being kind or not?” Mable had no words to refute him.“I think you have a crush on him and can’t let him go!” Mable’s jaw tensed up.Although she hated to admit it, she knew what Rahman said was the truth. She liked Blair when she lost her memory. After recovering her
The electronic screen above the boxing ring showed a picture of the boxing champion, Dwayne, and his historical record. The audience around the ring was mostly men, and there were many foreigners. At a glance, people’s heads were moving, and everyone’s face was filled with crazy excitement. Blair walked straight up to the VIP stands at the top of the audience seats. He looked around but still could not find Mable. ‘Did I guess wrongly? Had she not come down at all?’ “What the hell? A woman is fighting this time?” “How dare a woman fight Dwayne? This could get her killed. She’s going to be beaten into mush.” “I bet she won’t last ten minutes before she gets beaten up!” “Ten minutes is too long. Look at her tiny arms and legs. Dwayne will beat her with one punch in at most three minutes— No, one minute!” “Don’t be so sure. What if Dwayne is a gentleman and purposely loses to her? Hahaha…” “Dwayne has been in this ring for three years and has never lost. I’m still bettin
‘It’s Mable! ‘It’s her!’ Although she was wearing a mask, Blair still recognized her at a glance by her figure. “Mable! Get down here!” Blair shouted at the top of his lungs, pushing through the crowd and rushing toward the ring. ‘This d*mned woman. Does she know what she’s doing? ‘She was injured only a few hours ago, and now she dares to go up there and fight someone in the ring. ‘She’s being reckless!’ “Mable! Get down here!” Blair desperately wanted to rush to the bottom of the ring, but the crowd was too excited, and he could not squeeze in. Soon, the match began. The instant the bell rang, Sonora lunged at Dwayne like lightning and landed a punch on his face in the blink of an eye. Dwayne was also not to be trifled with. Even though he was punched, he reacted very quickly to counterattack. Seeing that Dwayne was swinging his fist at Sonora’s head, Blair’s heart was at his throat. He wanted very badly to fly into the ring to block the hit for her. Nonet
Someone soon recognized the man who proposed. It was Leo, Sorolen’s major general. Blair stared at Leo with a sinister look, wanting to make holes in his body with his piercing gaze. He pushed through the crowd and was about to rush up when a scream suddenly came from the stage. Leo, who was proposing with a bouquet in his hand while half-kneeling on the ground a while ago, was sprawled out on his back. He was in a sorry and embarrassed state. Everyone was shocked. Sonora hit General Leo! She was too bold! After all, Leo had a prominent status. Now that Sonora hit him, it might cause international conflicts. Just as the crowd worried for Sonora, Leo crawled up on his own and walked over to her like a lapdog. “There’s a saying that beating is a sign of affection. So, you’re showing me love, right, Sonni?” The audience was shocked.‘General Leo would tolerate this?’ ‘It’s confirmed. General Leo is Sonora’s lapdog!’ Bitter cold flashed across Sonora’s eyes. “Get
A cold look flashed across Mable’s eyes. She uttered through gritted teeth, “*sshole!” ‘I want to blow his head off!’ “Get in the car!” Blair pulled the car door open. Mable shot him a look and reluctantly got into the car. As Blair drove, he occasionally glanced at Mable, who was pretending to be asleep. He sized her up with curiosity. “Mable, just how many more identities do you have?” he suddenly asked. Mable was Agnes, the eldest miss of the Jeffersons. She was also Sonora, the boxing champion who dominated the ring. Just how many other identities did she have? Mable opened her eyes. She had a defensive look in her indifferent eyes as she smiled sweetly and responded, “Take a guess.” Blair said, “I’ll be ready to listen whenever you want to tell me.” Mable pursed her lips and did not say anything. By the time they returned to Blair’s villa, it was almost dawn. The wound on Mable’s shoulder had reopened. She treated it again and took two more anti-inflammator
‘This woman in front of me isn’t ugly at all!’ Leah thought to herself. “So you’re Master Blair’s wife.” Leah quickly calmed down and smiled elegantly, but her tone was full of mockery. “Oh, that’s not right. You’re his ex-wife.” She had long heard from a friend in Richworth that Master Blair and his secret wife had divorced. She was not afraid of a woman who had been dumped by Blair. Thinking of this, Leah looked at Mable even more condescendingly. “Master Blair has divorced you, so why are you still pestering him shamelessly?” Mable sighed as if she was troubled. “Who said I was pestering him? He’s clearly the one obsessed with me, sticking to me like glue and not letting me leave.” “Nonsense!” Leah pointed at Mable and spoke in a sharp voice. “Do you even see yourself in the mirror? How dare you say Master Blair is obsessed with you? I think you’re delusional!” Mable yawned and waved her hand. “So noisy. Have someone throw her out!” Mable had not slept last night
“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
