“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
“Mabes, you’re not allowed to see him anymore!” Ralph said to Mable. Blair stood up and asked, “Old Master Jefferson, I want to know why you won’t allow me to be with Mabes. Are you worried that I’ll hurt her, or do you have some other concerns? “If it’s the former, I assure you that I will love and protect her for the rest of my life.” Ralph stared at him and responded nonchalantly, “Mr. Fowler, you don’t need to promise anything to me. Honestly, I don’t have a problem with you—I have a problem with your entire family!” Mable looked at her grandpa. It was the first time she had seen him speak so harshly. Ralph was furious just by looking at Blair. “Does Luke know that Mabes is my granddaughter? If he knows, I don’t think he’d agree to have you marry her!” Mable and Blair looked at each other. Luke had indeed threatened her to leave him. Neither Luke nor Ralph wanted them to be together. Could there be some deep hatred between their families? “Old Master Jefferson, I
The next day. Mable went to work in the morning and only checked her phone at noon. She was thinking about whether or not to ask Blair out for lunch when she received a message from him. [Are you busy? I’m downstairs. Let’s have lunch together?] Mable raised her eyebrow. ‘How does he know I’m here?’ [I’ll be right down.] She replied to him and left her office. As soon as she exited the building, she saw Blair’s car parked not far away. “How did you know I was here?” Mable got into the car and asked. Blair said, “I heard from your maid.” Mable was surprised. “Hm? You went to my house?” Blair nodded. “I wanted to pay a formal visit to your grandpa. Unfortunately, he didn’t see me.” Mable was speechless.Her grandpa had made it clear last night. He probably did not see Blair today because there was nothing more to say. It was also to show how firm he was. Mable sighed internally. Blair held her hand and said, “Mabes, I won’t give up.” Mable touched her nose
Tracey had been waiting at the company for a long time. When she saw that Blair had finally returned, she was delighted at first. Then, she looked behind him. “Blair, where’s Mabes? Didn’t you bring her back?” She had been waiting during the past few days for them to make up and come back together. Blair answered, “She’s in Ashdale. She has work to do and couldn’t leave.” Tracey nodded. “Will she come back after?” “Mm.” Blair returned to his office and turned on his computer. “Let’s get down to business.” Tracey came back to her senses. She was serious yet angry. “Dad put Anthony in charge of the development project in the northern suburbs. So, Anthony came in this morning and called the relevant people in charge to have a meeting.” Blair did not say anything. He lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly. His deep eyes were unfathomable. “If I remember correctly, all the core data of that project is with you. If Anthony wants to be in charge of that project, it’s useless e
Solomon explained, “I went to Santaviz for work two days ago. Coincidentally, I met a few acquaintances and heard about some things. “Aust, the boss behind the terrorist attack back then, didn’t die. It seems he was just seriously injured and has been in hiding.” Solomon did not expect the explosion not to kill the bastard. Aust must be extremely lucky. “I wanted to trace him but lost him halfway through. I only know he’s hiding on an island in the Terwick Ocean.” “Is that so?” Blair narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists, veins bulging on the back of his hands. “What is Kyle doing these days?” He asked. “Kyle?” Solomon laughed and answered after some thought, “He seems to be looking for someone—the thief who stole the A117 reagent last time.” Kyle had always been eager to do well in everything. He felt insulted when an item under his care was stolen from him. Although he recovered it in the end, he did not catch the person. He was depressed for days and swore to
