Ashdale. After learning of Howardโs 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. โWhy are you back so soon?โ Seeing Mable had returned, Ralph took off his glasses and asked, โHow did it go with Howard?โ โNot good.โ Mable sat next to him and sighed. โGrandpa, I donโt like Howard. Donโt set us up next time.โ Ralph sighed. โFeelings can be developed slowly.โ โThereโs a prerequisite for that,โ Mable said. It was that she did not have someone she liked. Ralph looked at her and immediately understood. โYou still canโt let go of Blair.โ Mable looked seriously at him. โGrandpa, Iโll obey you for everything else, but I want to make my own decisions on this matter.โ 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, โDonโt tire yourself out too much. Rest early.โ โOkay,โ 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. โฆ Richworth. Blair hung up and called Solomon for a drink. By the time Solomon arrived, Blair had drunk quite a bit. โThis isnโt like you.โ Solomon sat on the sofa and said, โAccording to your previous style, you should be on a plane to Ashdale right now.โ Blair looked up at him. โI was preparing to go.โ โThen why didnโt you?โ 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 womanโs drink spilled onto Blairโs shirt. โIโm sorry for dirtying your shirt, sir.โ 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, โHey, sir, why donโt you take off your shirt? Iโll send it to the dry cleaners for you.โ As she spoke, she reached out to pull Blairโs arm. Despite that, she was stopped by Amos before she could touch Blair. โMiss, please respect yourself.โ The woman rushed up and stood in front of Blair to stop him. โSirโโ โGet lost!โ 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 womanโs good friend walked over and patted her shoulder. โLesley, youโre 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, โItโs so late. Youโre still awake?โ Mable asked coldly, โHoward, why did you send me the photo?โ โJust to tell you that Blair isnโt good enough for you,โ Howard answered.Mable sneered. โI dare you to say that to Blair in person!โ โLetโs see if heโll kill you!โ โHoward, I always thought you were a decent person. I didnโt think you were the same as your brother. Youโre petty, using tricks behind peopleโs backs!โ Howard frowned. โDid she think I got someone to follow Blair and take the photo?โ โI didnโt 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.โ After he finished, Mable told him off. โI know what kind of person Blair is. I donโt need you to remind me with a photo.โ โDo you trust him that much?โ Mable said after a moment of silence, โI trust myself!โ 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 Enterpriseโs 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. โAmos?โ โWhy is he here? โIf heโs here, then Blairโฆโ โMs. Jefferson.โ 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. โWhy are you here?โ โWerenโt you in Richworth? Why are
โI saw it in a gossip group,โ Mable casually said. For the sake of her grandpa, she would not say it was from Howard. Blair looked seriously at her. โMabes, hear me out. I donโt know the woman. Last nightโโ โPfft!โ Mable was amused by how nervous he looked. โI know. You donโt have such bad taste, and Iโm not stupid. The photo was purposefully taken at such a misleading angle. How could I not know?โ โYou believe me?โ Blair stared blankly at her. Mable kept her phone and nodded. โMm, at least in this matter.โ 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 oneโs beloved. โThank you, Mabes.โ 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
Mable looked at Blair and responded, โOh, Iโm going on a business trip. Iโll go straight to the airport once Iโve finished with work.โ โBusiness trip?โ Blairโs first thought was that Mable was going abroad again. She had just come back a few days ago and was leaving again. โWhere are you going? When are you coming back? Are you going alone, or will someone accompany you?โ โIโm not sure when Iโll be back. Itโll depend on the progress. Iโm going aloneโI asked Hugh to take care of my grandpa, or Iโll be worried. As for where Iโm goingโฆโ Mable smiled faintly at Blair and deliberately kept him in suspense. โTake a guess.โ โMonafett or Fasier?โ The Jeffersonsโ business mainly involved clothing import and export trade. Apart from the domestic market, their other market was in those two countries. Mable shook her head. โNope.โ Blair frowned. โThenโฆโ โIf itโs not Monafett or Fasier, could it be the more distant Yenea? โItโs possible that the Jeffersons are preparing to o
Howardโs eyes flickered. He paused before commenting, โItโs rare for a divorced couple to still have such a good relationship.โ Blair narrowed his eyes at him. โHoward, even if Mabes and I arenโt married now, sheโs not someone you can covet!โ Howard straightened his body and smiled courteously. โMaster Blair, honestly, I fell in love with Mable at first sight. Iโm going to pursue her, and her grandpa is pleased with me, too.โ โSo what?โ Blair might have believed his words if they met before he saw Mable earlier. Now, it had no effect on him. โEven if Old Master Jefferson decides youโre his granddaughter-in-law, you donโt stand a chance as long as Mable doesnโt like you!โ โI know Mable doesnโt like me. She rejected me when I confessed to her last night, but I donโt plan to give up just like that.โ Howard paused for a while and looked at Blair with interest. He continued, โAs far as I know, she hasnโt accepted you either. That means weโre the sameโweโre both her suitors. It
โArthur proposed to Tracey?!โIn 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. โYeah, Arthur proposed to her today. Trace called to say theyโll prepare for the wedding after they return from their trip.โโThatโs great!โMable was sincerely happy for Tracey and Arthur.She asked Blair, โDo they have any ideas for the wedding? We can help them prepare in advance.โBlair said, โWe can call Trace and ask.โMable 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, โIโll call her tomorrow.โGetting 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 Zoeโs 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. โItโs been a long time since you called me that.โZoe 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. โThatโs what I used to call you, but you tricked me into calling you Ky.โShe 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 Zoeโs cheek and said, โZoe, Iโve never told you this, but I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. It was love at first sight.โI want you to stay by my side forever and let me stay by your side forever. Iโll never let you go again in this lifetime.โZoeโs eyes slowly reddened as she listened to Kyleโs heartfelt words.Indeed, she never knew he fell in love with her at first sight...They both did.Kyle gently wiped away her tears. โZoe, I promise you. Weโll only part in death, never in life.โZoe choked and nodded, burying her face in his chest as she cried.In her arms, Six seemed to sense his motherโs emotions and moved restlessly.Zoe quickly comforted him.โLet me.โ 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. โZoe, youโre awake. How do you feel?โZoe stared at the man in front of her and blinked, feeling shocked.When she did not answer, Kyle immediately became nervous. โWhatโs wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?โZoe remained silent and continued to stare at him. Her eyes gradually turned red, and her nose tingled with a strong sense of sourness.Kyleโs heart clenched at the sight. โZoe, donโt scare me like this. Zoe...โHe was getting anxious and was just about to call the doctor when she suddenly grabbed his hand. โI... Iโm okay. I just had a nightmare. Iโm a bit groggy after waking up.โKyle hugged her, his warm hand gently patting her back. โItโs okay. Iโve been by your side all along.โZoe buried her face in his shoulder, softly humming without saying anything.At that mom
โI see.โOutside the delivery room, Kyleโs family and the others were still waiting anxiously.Close to midnight, the door finally opened, and the nurse carried the baby out.โItโs a boy. Both mother and son are safe.โEveryone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.Before long, Zoe was pushed out. Monica checked on the baby before hurriedly walking to Zoeโs side and taking her hand. โZoe, you did so well.โโIโm okay, Mom.โZoe 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 latterโs pale face, but she smiled and said, โCongratulations, Zoe.โZoe 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, โIsnโt Zoeโs due date still about ten days away? Why did it suddenly come early?โMonica said, โWeโre 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...โSeeing Mable stare anxiously at the delivery room, Blair held her hand and comforted her. โDonโt worry. Zoe has been healthy her whole pregnancy. There shouldnโt be any problems.โMable nodded. โYeah, I hope both the mother and child are safe.โSoon, Solomon and Ines also arrived.Solomon greeted Kyleโs parents and asked, โHow
Without saying anything, Solomon placed his behind Inesโ 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 servantโs voice came from outside. โSir, dinner is ready.โSolomon hugged Ines and cleared his throat. โGot it. Weโll be right there.โThe servant acknowledged and left.Ines buried her head in Solomonโs chest and took a deep breath before saying, โLetโs go. Donโt want your parents to wait too long.โโYeah.โSolomon stroked her head and looked at the drawing he had just completed. โOnce itโs dry, Iโll have it framed and hang it in the bedroom, okay?โInes asked, โIn this bedroom?โSolomon nodded and kissed her forehead. โYeah, weโll probably come back to stay here often in the future.โInes pursed her lips and smiled silently.โLetโs go have dinner.โ Solomon led her downstairs.After having dinner at the Rowland residence, Solom
Solomon embraced Ines from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. โI learned to draw when I was young and almost did fine arts for college.โโWhy didnโt you?โWinning first prize in a national art competition indicated a high level of drawing skill.Solomon said, โPainting is just one of my many interests. I do it to pass the time when Iโm bored. Iโve never thought of becoming an artist.โInes nodded. โI see.โSolomon suddenly perked up and opened a small cabinet beside the bookshelf, taking out a canvas and some paints. โCome on, Iโll draw a portrait.โInes was stunned. โOf me?โโYep. Give me a moment.โSolomon 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. โI was just thinking about what to bring to your house tomorrow. I canโt go empty-handed...โSolomon laughed at her words. โYou donโt need to bring anything. Just seeing you will make them happy.โโThat wonโt do. I still need to buy something.โAlthough she knew that Solomonโs 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. โCan you tell me what your parents are like?โSolomon noticed her nervousness and squeezed her hand. โDonโt worry. My mom and dad are very nice. They wonโt make things difficult for you.โInes 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 Solomonโs house tomorrow.After buying everything, th
