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.”
Mable plopped onto the sofa, a little dejected. She and Blair had just officially gotten together last night. Were breaking up already? ‘Hmph! ‘Scum!’ She somewhat regretted it. She should not have agreed to be with him so easily. Men were all the same. They would do anything during the pursuit but would not cherish women once they were together. The more Mable thought about it, the sadder she became. Seeing as it was getting late, she began to put on makeup and get ready. ‘Blair, you’re ignoring me, huh? Just you wait!’ Mable styled her hair, did her makeup, and changed her clothes… It was 5:30 p.m. when she was done. Howard also arrived on time. Howard was stunned when he saw Mable walking out of the apartment. Mable was an absolute beauty, with great features and a perfect figure. It was hard to ignore her beauty, even when she was casually dressed. Now that Mable was all dressed up, she seemed generous and confident. Every move she made was elegant, and one
Mable and Howard were not celebrities, so they did not intentionally stop to pose for pictures as they walked down the red carpet. They reached the end in no time and went inside. Meanwhile, in the Royal View Villa. Amos felt troubled as he watched Blair who was busy in the kitchen. “Master Blair, the charity dinner is about to start. You—” Blair stirred the soup in the pot and said without looking back, “Tell them I’m busy and won’t be going! Add another million in donations.” Amos twitched his mouth. ‘You’re really something! ‘You’re busy because you’re making soup?’ He sighed helplessly. “Okay.” Just as he took out his phone to call the organizer, he noticed a piece of entertainment news and clicked in. When he saw what it was, he widened his eyes and said, “M-Master Blair.” “What?” Blair looked back at him impatiently. He was cooking soup for Mable and was going to send it to her in a while. Although he was still mad, he could not completely ignore her. He h
Howard looked at Lesley and greeted her, “Ms. Witherford.” Lesley pointed at Mable and asked him, “Mr. Morse, what’s your relationship with her?” “We’re family friends.” Howard was a little annoyed by Lesley’s unreasonable behavior. He reminded her, “Ms. Witherford, it’s very rude to point your finger at others!” Lesley scoffed and turned to leave. Mable ignored Lesley and looked at the row of chairs at the front. Blair’s seat happened to be in the middle of the first row. It seemed that Blair was on the invite list. Nonetheless, Mable knew he would not come. “You and Lesley know each other?” Howard asked. Mable briefly explained what happened at the mall in the afternoon. Howard said, “Lesley and Henry are friends. I’ve seen her a few times, so I know of her. I’m not familiar with her, though,” Mable smiled. “You don’t need to explain to me.” She simply did not care about Lesley. While they spoke, a woman quietly walked over and removed the name tag on the
The surrounding people were shocked as they watched Blair and Mable. ‘Who is this woman? How dare she talk to Master Blair like that?’ ‘Why did it seem like Master Blair was flirting with her?’ ‘There’s something… going on between them!’ Mable could not be bothered to talk nonsense with Blair. ‘Fine, I won’t drink.’ “Amos,” Blair said. Amos walked over and took the wine glass from him. Then, Amos handed Blair a thermos. Blair opened the lid and handed it to Mable. “Drink this.” Mable looked down and saw that it was soup. She could tell how flavorful it was without even drinking it. The surrounding people were dumbfounded again! ‘Master Blair carried a thermos filled with soup with him.’ ‘What’s going on?’ ‘Didn’t people say he’s indifferent toward women?’ Lesley looked at Blair, who was sitting next to Mable. She was so mad that her mouth was crooked. It was not easy for her to find someone to change her seat next to Blair. Who knew that he sat next to M
“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
