After breakfast, Blair went to work and dropped Mable off at her apartment on his way. “This is close to my company.” It was just a block away. That morning, Blair had found out about Mable’s apartment in Richworth. As it was so close to his company, he dismissed the idea of buying it. He must not rush it. Since Mable did not want to live with him now, he would not force her. Blair would come here often anyway. After Blair left, Mable unpacked her things and met the partner. If Jefferson Enterprise wanted to bid for the northern suburb development project, they would first have to get the bidding qualification from the partner. Given their strength, it should not be difficult. Despite that, Mable learned from the partner that many powerful families from Richworth were eyeing the project. Moreover, Jefferson Enterprise did not have much of an advantage against them. In particular, Fowler Enterprise. After discussing with the partner, Mable considered for a while befo
As soon as Henry said that, Old Master Morse reprimanded him. “You bastard. What are you talking about?!” Crystal also glared at him. “Henry, where are your manners?!” Henry was unconvinced. “Mom, Grandpa’s leg ailment has been incurable for many years despite consulting many local and international experts. I don’t believe she’s better than those professionals. What if she messes up and makes it worse?!” Mable smiled faintly at Henry. “Don’t worry, Mr. Morse. I wouldn’t take on something so important without the right expertise. Besides, your grandpa and mine have been close friends for many years. I wouldn’t do anything to harm him.” “Mabes, don’t listen to this bastard. I’m sure you won’t harm me.” Old Master Morse smiled kindly at Mable and sighed. “I did see many doctors over the years for my ailment, though, and it hasn’t been cured. I’m old, and I’ve long since lost hope.” “Grandpa Ray, if you trust me, let me take a look at you.” Mable pointed at her medical kit.
Old Master Morse believed that Mable was skilled. Crystal pushed him upstairs to his room, and Mable followed with her medicine kit. Henry followed behind Mable and warned her in a low voice, “I’m warning you—if you harm my grandpa, I won’t let you go!” Although he was domineering and acted like a rascal, he was extremely protective of his family. Especially his grandpa who loved him dearly. Mable responded, “Don’t worry.” In the room, Henry helped his grandpa lie down and rolled up his pants to reveal his knees. Mable washed her hands and wore her medical gloves. She took some silver needles from her acupuncture bag in the medical kit. “Grandpa Ray, just relax. The first few needles will be slightly painful, so you’ll need to endure the pain. Other than that, let me know if you feel uncomfortable.” “Okay.” Henry and Crystal were slightly nervous as they watched from the side. Mable first put needles in two major acupoints on Old Master Morse’s knee, followed by o
Mable looked apologetically at Old Master Morse. “Grandpa Ray’s leg ailment has lasted too long. Even if I use the Fuxi Nine Needles Technique, it can’t be cured. “But as I said earlier, the pain can still be relieved.” Old Master Morse sighed. He had not had much hope, so being able to alleviate the pain tormenting him for years was good enough. He said to Mable, “I’m aware of my condition. It’s impossible to cure the ailment, so I’m very thankful you’re able to relieve the pain.” Mable smiled. “Grandpa Ray, I’ll be in Richworth for a while. Feel free to contact me at any time if you need.” After treating Old Master Morse with acupuncture, Mable was ready to leave. However, Crystal insisted on making her stay for dinner. Mable was overwhelmed by the hospitality and agreed. At night, Howard and his dad, Dylan, came back. Dylan was grateful after hearing that Mable treated Old Master Morse with acupuncture. “Ms. Jefferson, thank you so much.” Henry said, “Dad, don’t th
After saying that, Mable pulled Blair into the car. Crystal sent them off with a smile but sighed heavily after they left. “Mabes is a nice lady. I wanted to set you up, but I didn’t think she was Master Blair’s ex-wife.” She thought it was a pity. Howard watched the car leave and said, “So what if she’s his ex-wife? They’ve long since parted and have nothing to do with each other.” Even if there was something between Mable and Blair, they were just good friends. Crystal asked Howard, “Howard, do you… like her?” Howard did not say anything. Even so, Crystal knew him. His silence was him acquiescing to it! “I don’t mind if your future wife is divorced. However, you heard Master Blair say he’s pursuing Mable. It sounds like he intends to remarry her. If you go after her, wouldn’t you be snatching her from him?” Although their family was rich and powerful, they were still inferior to the Fowlers. Offending Blair would do them no good. “Even if Blair wants to remarry
The house was dead silent. The night breeze blew in through the half-open window, and the curtains swayed with the wind. On the wide sofa, Blair pressed on Mable underneath him. He stared fervently at her before kissing her gently. Love was in the air, and the temperature was slowly rising… Mable was dazed from being kissed. She suddenly snapped back to reality when she realized what Blair was going to do. She reached out to push him. “Blair, I’m on my period!” It was also why she dared to tease him without restraints. Blair froze and slowly moved away from her. He gently caressed her face and breathed unevenly. “Mabes, you did it on purpose.” Mable blinked and said, “You couldn’t hold it in yourself. Why are you blaming me?!” Blair pinched her waist and gritted his teeth. “Little vixen!” ‘God sent her to torture me!’ Mable pushed him again and said coquettishly, “Get up, you’re heavy.” Blair sighed internally and helped her sit up. He placed his palm on her
“Yes, I’m nervous.” Blair was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out. Mable laughed out loud and took the initiative to kiss him. “My answer is that I’m willing to be with you.” Blair’s back stiffened. Mable touched his face. “I thought about it and decided to give it a go. As you said, how will I know if we’re suitable if I don’t try?” She really liked him. So long as he was gentle to her and pampered her a little more, she was defenseless. Mable did not know if their relationship could last, but she did not want to miss the opportunity. Even if they were to separate in the future, the days with him could still be the best times of her life. Mable looked at the dazed Blair and poked his chest. “Blair, why don’t you have any reaction?” “Mabes.” Blair hugged her hard and squeezed her. “So you’re accepting my confession?” His heart filled with excitement and happiness. He had long been prepared for this to take a long time. So, he did not expect happine
“Blair, I know Fowler Enterprise has made a lot of preparations for the project. If you let me have it, I’ll bear all your losses.” Mable was not lacking in money. However, it was a government project and was not something that could be bought. Given Jefferson Enterprise’s background and strength, they could not compete with Fowler Enterprise. That said, it would be a different story if Blair was willing to help Mable. Blair looked at Mable. He did not know whether to laugh or get angry. “Mabes, just tell me if you want the project.” ‘You didn’t have to accept me for this.’ Mable did not understand. “Didn’t I just tell you?” Blair only stared at her. At this moment, the doorbell rang. Blair stood up and said, “I’ll get the door.” It was Amos. He brought kitchen supplies and some ingredients. Blair took them to the kitchen and started cooking without a word. Mable sent Amos away and went to the kitchen to hug Blair from behind. “Can you fry an egg on the side for
“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
