“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
‘How dare he think my feelings are fake?’ Mable stood frozen in place. She only snapped back to her senses when she heard the sound of the door slamming. Blair was gone, and she was the only one left in the empty house. It was dead silent. Mable looked at the half-eaten food on the dining table and felt like crying. ‘Blair, you scumbag. Who are you to say that my feelings for you are false?’ “Bastard!” … Blair returned to the Royal View Villa mad. He went swimming to calm himself down. His mood rose and fell throughout the night before ending in disappointment. He needed to calm down. Nonetheless, he could not get rid of Mable’s image in his head. ‘That heartless woman!’ Blair wanted her to accept him wholeheartedly. Even if she did not love him as much as he loved her, he would not be used or deceived. Blair swam for two hours before returning to his room to change his clothes. Then, he went going to the study. He was so enraged by Mable that he could n
Blair could guess why Mable was here. It must be for the northern suburb project. He did not see her not because he did not want to but because he did not want to hear her talk about work. It would make him lose control of his emotions and feel like their relationship was just a deal. In fact, Blair was more worried about losing control of his emotions and hurting her. Throughout his years of living, Mable was the only one who could affect his emotions so much. Whenever he faced her, he could not control his emotions very well. A word from her would change his mood. As Blair did not say anything, Solomon became even more curious. He looked teasingly at Blair and asked, “Did Mable do something shocking again?” Blair answered after a moment of silence. “She accepted my confession.” Solomon slammed the table. “Isn’t that a good thing?” ‘Your hard work came to fruition!’ Blair did not say anything. … Downstairs. Mable was mad after hearing what Tracey said. Sh
As Old Master Morse listened, he nodded and said gratefully, “Mabes, thank you so much. All these years, I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night almost every night due to the pain in my knees. It was a rare good night’s sleep last night.” Dylan was also very grateful. “Yeah, Ms. Jefferson. Thank you so much.” “You’re welcome, Mr. Morse.” After having lunch at the Morse Residence, Mable did acupuncture on Old Master Morse again. Howard sent her off when she left in the afternoon. On the way back, Howard drove while paying attention to Mable in the passenger seat. “Are you waiting for a call?” Mable kept staring at her phone. It was obvious that she was either waiting for a call or a message. “No.” Mable put her phone in her bag and looked outside. Howard asked after a moment of silence, “Mable, can I ask you for a favor?” “Hm?” “I’m going to a charity auction tonight, and I’m lacking a companion.” Mable raised her eyebrow. At the red light ahead, Howard st
Lesley walked into GOOC and spotted the gold sequined fishtail gown right away. It was so beautiful! She immediately walked over and pointed at the gown in the salesperson’s hands. “Bring it over, and let me try it on!” The salesperson’s eyes lit up when she saw Lesley. “Okay, Ms. Witherford. Please wait a moment!” Lesley was their VIP customer. She would definitely buy whatever she had her eyes on. The salesperson strode over with a bright smile as if she had gotten a generous commission. Tracey rushed up and stopped in front of the salesperson. “Stop right there! We saw the gown first. Why are you bringing it to her instead?!” She could not stand snobbish salespeople like her! Lesley pushed her away. “So what if you saw it first? You didn’t pay for it. Get out of the way!” “Tracey!” Mable was quick to react. She caught Tracey and prevented her from falling. Afterward, she looked at Lesley and said, “Miss, first come, first served.” Lesley rolled her eyes at he
“Ha, I’ve never seen someone so pretentious. The store manager took a day off today to deal with personal matters. How can she come over within ten minutes? Who do you think you are?!” The salesperson said. Mable smiled faintly at the salesperson. “You’ll find out soon.” Tracey looked at her with bright eyes. Based on her understanding of Mable, the tables would be turned later! Mable looked at Lesley, who was glaring at her from the side. “Sorry, I can’t let you have it. I like this gown too. You can pick something else.” Lesley glared furiously at her. “I want it today!” Ever since she was a child, no one had dared snatch things from her. She would get whatever she had her eyes on, no matter what it took. Besides, this was just a gown! Lesley took out her bank card and handed it to the salesperson. “I’m not trying it anymore. Pack up the gown for me—I’m buying it!” The salesperson happily accepted the card and said, “Okay, Ms. Witherford!” A dark glint flashed acr
GOOC’s store manager told the salesperson, “This is GOOC’s CEO.” The salesperson widened her eyes in shock. “You…!!!” ‘Shit!’ She had just said that Mable was poor and disliked her for not being able to afford anything in the store. Lesley also looked at Mable in shock. ‘She’s GOOC’s CEO? ‘I couldn’t tell!’ When the salesperson realized Mable’s identity, she was so scared that she froze. She apologized with a bow. “I’m sorry, boss. I’m sorry for—” Joseph looked at her. Guessing she offended Mable, he said, “You don’t have to come tomorrow!” The salesperson turned pale. If she was dismissed by GOOC, other stores would not hire her. Mable said indifferently to Joseph, “I remember that GOOC’s employees have to be uniformly trained before being employed. If I find out there are more employees who look down on and bully others, you can also say goodbye to your job!” Joseph bowed repeatedly. “I understand. I’ll be sure to keep an eye on their training in the future.”
“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
