Ralph smiled. “I was going to introduce you to each other. I didn’t think you knew each other before this. You’re fated.”

Mable was speechless.

‘Fated, my ass.

‘More like ill-fated!’

Howard looked at Ralph. “Grandpa Ralph, my grandpa asked me to give you his regards. You know it’s inconvenient for him to walk, or he would’ve come to see you in person.”

Ralph waved his hand. “I know. He doesn’t have to go through the trouble if it’s inconvenient. Send him my regards.”

“Please sit,” Mable said.

Howard sat. He could not help but find it funny when he saw how confused she was.

‘Ms. Jefferson, looks like you don’t know we’re family friends.”

“Is that so?” Mable did not know.

Ralph nodded. “Yes. We just don’t interact as often now because our families are settled in the south and the north, respectively. That said, our friendship remains.”

Mable’s expression stiffened a little.

Had she known about the relationship between their families, he would have been merciful to

    The Jefferson Residence covered a small area. Apart from the main building, there was a small detached building where Grandpa Ralph lived, separated by a large garden. The sky was still bright at this hour. Mable brought Howard to the garden for a casual stroll around. She asked, “How come I’ve never heard you talk about the fact that our families are friends?” Howard smiled faintly and answered, “When we first met, I didn’t know you were Agnes.” “What about later at the race track?” “I knew, then. I was going to tell you when you wanted to treat me to lunch, but I had something urgent and left.” Mable remembered that day. Speaking of which, Howard suddenly left that day because Blair was jealous and caused him trouble. Mable looked at Howard. After some thought, she said, “Uh, my grandpa doesn’t know I broke one of your brother’s fingers, right?” Howard smiled faintly. “Not yet.” ‘What does that mean?’ Mable thought.Howard explained, “Grandpa Ralph and my grandpa

    Mable was stunned. Howard looked at her and continued, “Mable, since you and Master Blair are divorced, I think I’m qualified to pursue you.” Mable felt a thump in her head. She looked at him in disbelief. “You want to pursue me?” Howard nodded seriously. “You’re a fair lady, and I’m a gentleman.” Mable almost choked on her saliva. “Don’t, Howard—don’t joke about this.” “I’m not kidding, Mable. I’m serious.” Howard looked at Mable. “I was the one who told Grandpa Ralph I liked you and wanted to pursue you. So, he created an opportunity for us to be alone today.” Mable was shocked.‘I see.’ She did not think Howard was so proactive. Nonetheless, she said without any hesitation, “Howard, don’t waste time on me. I don’t have any feelings for you.” Howard was not too surprised. “Feelings can be slowly developed. I have plenty of time.” Mable was somewhat helpless. “Do I have to put it so bluntly? Well, I’ll be honest with you. I already have someone I like, and it’

    Ashdale. After learning of Howard’s thoughts about her, Mable was not in the mood to stroll around anymore. She casually gave him a reason and went home. As soon as she arrived home, she saw her grandpa reading documents in the living room. There were many work documents on the table. “Why are you back so soon?” Seeing Mable had returned, Ralph took off his glasses and asked, “How did it go with Howard?” “Not good.” Mable sat next to him and sighed. “Grandpa, I don’t like Howard. Don’t set us up next time.” Ralph sighed. “Feelings can be developed slowly.” “There’s a prerequisite for that,” Mable said. It was that she did not have someone she liked. Ralph looked at her and immediately understood. “You still can’t let go of Blair.” Mable looked seriously at him. “Grandpa, I’ll obey you for everything else, but I want to make my own decisions on this matter.” Blair was the only thing she was clinging on to. Ralph fell silent for a while and handed her the document

    Blair said after a pause, “Don’t tire yourself out too much. Rest early.” “Okay,” Mable responded. Afterward, Blair hung up. Mable looked at her phone, dazed. Blair used to wait for her to hang up. Why did he hang up so quickly today? She was going to ask him about the project. Nevertheless, since her grandpa wanted her to take the project, she would have to go to Richworth. After some thought, she booked a flight to Richworth tomorrow afternoon. … Richworth. Blair hung up and called Solomon for a drink. By the time Solomon arrived, Blair had drunk quite a bit. “This isn’t like you.” Solomon sat on the sofa and said, “According to your previous style, you should be on a plane to Ashdale right now.” Blair looked up at him. “I was preparing to go.” “Then why didn’t you?” Blair downed the whisky in his glass with a cold look in his eyes. It was because he was afraid he would not be able to control his emotions and hurt Mable. After coming back from Fasi

    Amos reacted quickly. Seeing as the woman was lunging toward Blair, he jumped forward to block her. Even so, the woman’s drink spilled onto Blair’s shirt. “I’m sorry for dirtying your shirt, sir.” The woman held her glass delicately and winked at Blair as she spoke. Blair glanced coldly at her and ignored her. He walked straight out. The woman was not resigned to being ignored. She ran forward and said, “Hey, sir, why don’t you take off your shirt? I’ll send it to the dry cleaners for you.” As she spoke, she reached out to pull Blair’s arm. Despite that, she was stopped by Amos before she could touch Blair. “Miss, please respect yourself.” The woman rushed up and stood in front of Blair to stop him. “Sir—” “Get lost!” Blair was cold. The woman was stunned by his gaze and got out of the way. In the end, she watched him leave in his car. At this time, the woman’s good friend walked over and patted her shoulder. “Lesley, you’re bold. Do you know who that man is?

    Mable called Howard without any hesitation. When the call went through, Howard said in a low voice, “It’s so late. You’re still awake?” Mable asked coldly, “Howard, why did you send me the photo?” “Just to tell you that Blair isn’t good enough for you,” Howard answered.Mable sneered. “I dare you to say that to Blair in person!” ‘Let’s see if he’ll kill you!’ “Howard, I always thought you were a decent person. I didn’t think you were the same as your brother. You’re petty, using tricks behind people’s backs!” Howard frowned. ‘Did she think I got someone to follow Blair and take the photo?’ “I didn’t find someone to take a photo. I saw someone sharing it, so I forwarded it to you because I wanted you to see what kind of person Blair is.” After he finished, Mable told him off. “I know what kind of person Blair is. I don’t need you to remind me with a photo.” “Do you trust him that much?” Mable said after a moment of silence, “I trust myself!” She did not dare claim

    Mable had just left the Jefferson Residence when she realized a small black car was following her. No matter how fast or slow she went, the car kept a consistent distance from her. Since they were on the main road, and she could not pull up, Mable ignored it. She wanted to see what the other party was trying to do. At last, she stopped in front of Jefferson Enterprise’s building. Mable turned to look and saw that the car had stopped as well. Even after a while, no one came down from the car. So, she decided to get out and walk over. She had just returned not long ago and had not offended anyone. Who was following her? Before she got close to the car, she saw a familiar person walking out from the passenger seat. “Amos?” ‘Why is he here? ‘If he’s here, then Blair…’ “Ms. Jefferson.” Amos nodded slightly at her and pulled open the door to the back seat. Mable widened her eyes at Blair, who was in the car. “Why are you here?” ‘Weren’t you in Richworth? Why are

    “I saw it in a gossip group,” Mable casually said. For the sake of her grandpa, she would not say it was from Howard. Blair looked seriously at her. “Mabes, hear me out. I don’t know the woman. Last night—” “Pfft!” Mable was amused by how nervous he looked. “I know. You don’t have such bad taste, and I’m not stupid. The photo was purposefully taken at such a misleading angle. How could I not know?” “You believe me?” Blair stared blankly at her. Mable kept her phone and nodded. “Mm, at least in this matter.” She had known him for more than two years and knew how he was. Blair embraced her again. His heart was filled, and he was satisfied like never before. Nothing was more comforting than being trusted by one’s beloved. “Thank you, Mabes.” Blair suddenly blamed himself a little. Mable trusted him so much. Whereas, he was still holding a grudge against her for the photos Howard posted on his Instagram last night. Mable did not know what Blair was thinking. She pok

    “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
