Blair lowered his head and met Mable’s gentle gaze. “Why are you apologizing?” He rarely saw her like that. He should be the one to apologize. “That night, you said you’d never trade your feelings.” Blair froze for a moment and remembered what happened that night. He subconsciously hugged Mable. “Mabes, I—” ‘If it’s a deal, so be it. As long as I can keep you by my side, I’ll accept it.’ Before Blair could finish, Mable said, “Let me finish.” She continued, “I didn’t react at that time and later realized I didn’t consider your feelings. I brought up the northern suburb project right after we got together, and that made you misunderstand. “Blair, I want to tell you that I’ll never trade my feelings too. “That night, when I said I thought it over and agreed to be your girlfriend, I genuinely wanted to accept being with you. It had nothing to do with the project. “We’ve known each other for such a long time, so you should know my character. No one can force me to d
Mable smirked when she learned that this was the reason Blair stopped. She locked her fingers with Blair and kissed him. Afterward, she whispered in his ear, “Yes—Mmph!” It was a sleepless night. There was still a thunderstorm outside. Trees swayed and trembled in the wind, while Blair and Mable’s bodies were entangled with each other in the house. … The sky was bright when Mable awoke again. The window was half open, blowing the curtains from side to side. The spot beside her on the bed was empty, and there was no sound coming from the bathroom. She figured that Blair was not in the room. Mable sat up and rubbed her aching waist. She pinched the spot between her eyebrows and became even more convinced that something must have happened to Blair last night. Otherwise, how could he be so out of control for someone so restrained? Mable put on her clothes and washed up before leaving the bedroom. As soon as she got out, she was Amos walking through the corridor, pre
Mable met Blair’s gaze and recalled the wild night. She subconsciously blushed and responded, “What do you think?!” She sounded coquettish. Blair gently rubbed her waist and said, “I’ll rub it for you.” Mable held his face. Since he barely rested last night, he had dark eye circles and stubble. “Blair.” Mable called him and said after some thought, “Although you look handsome when you smoke, smoking is bad for your health. I don’t want you to die young.” Given how Blair was smoking, it would definitely harm his health. Blair stared at her. After a moment of silence, he said, “I promise I’ll quit smoking from now on.” Mable’s eyes lit up. “You said it. Don’t lie to me.” Blair nodded. “Mm.” Mable pecked on his lips. “This is your reward!” Blair raised his eyebrow. “Just one kiss?” Mable beamed. “One every day.” “That’s more like it.” Mable said, “Have some breakfast first.” Blair did not have much appetite, so he put down his cutlery after eating a little.
Solomon knew Blair had a history of hereditary mental illness. However, he also knew it had never struck before. Blair’s emotions fluctuated a lot before this due to Mable, but he had not been as out of control as he was last night. Blair knew what Solomon wanted to say. He paused and said, “Help me make an appointment with Paul. Ask him when he’s available. I need him to give me a detailed checkup in this aspect.” “Okay. I’ll contact him later.” Paul was the world’s top mental illness expert. As Blair had helped him before, he promised he would do his best to help Blair if needed. Blair had not cared much about the genetic disease before this. After all, he was still young, and it would not strike so soon. After what happened last night, he had to take it seriously. “And…” Blair said to Solomon, “Keep this a secret from Mable.” Solomon knew he would say that. “Don’t worry, but…” He suddenly remembered something and asked, “Mable is a doctor herself. What if she fin
Blair narrowed his eyes. “I underestimated Anthony.” Anthony first gave him a hallucinogen. Then, he told Blair the truth about his birth, infuriating him so he would lose control. He calculated everything well. “Anthony, that bastard!” Mable gritted her teeth in anger. She wanted to punch someone! “We can’t just let him go! “Master Blair, why don’t we find a chance to…” Solomon looked at Blair and suggested they kill Anthony. ‘He’s an illegitimate child. What’s there to be afraid of?’ Blair slowly closed the report and squinted. “There’s no rush.” There was something he needed to confirm first. Mable was worried about Blair. She led him to the sofa and said, “Sit. I’ll give you another chair.” Hallucinogens were very harmful to the human body. If not removed in time, they could cause aftereffects. Mable gave Blair a detailed body check and drew more blood for lab tests. To her surprise, the LSD in Blair’s blood had disappeared, even though it had only been
“Yeah.” Blair sat next to Mable. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and lowered his head to peck her lightly on the lips. Rahman almost flew into a rage when he saw this through video call. “Fuck!” If he were by their side at the moment, he would have punched Blair in the face. “Mabes, tell me he’s not telling the truth!” Rahman did not believe it! Mable held Blair’s arm and introduced him, “Let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Blair!” Rahman was speechless. His heart broke into pieces. “Mabes, did you really get back together with him? Did you forget your pain? Or how he treated you? I’m telling you, a man’s words can’t be—” Blair snatched Mable’s phone and ended the call. Rahman shouted, “...Blair, fuck you!” When he called again, it was declined. When he tried again, it could not even go through. ‘That bastard!’ Rahman was enraged. He wanted to go to Richworth on a helicopter. … Blair turned off Mable’s phone. It was finally peaceful. He hugged
Mable saw hope and immediately asked, “But what?” “You can bribe me.” Blair pulled her into his arms and smirked at her. “If you make me happy, I’ll let you win the project!”‘An easy win?!’ Mable was shocked.She looked at Blair in disbelief. “Are you… sure?” Blair fiddled with her hands and nodded. “I’ve prepared all the core documents for this project and am also very familiar with the people we’ve been in touch with before.” Mable blinked and asked, “But what happens to Fowler Enterprise if you give me the project? Haven’t you prepared for a long time? If—” Before she could finish, Blair said, “Anthony is in charge of the project now.” Mable was confused.She had purposely looked into this. Blair had been in charge of the project for about 3 years and was responsible from the pre-preparation until the bidding. How did it suddenly turn into Anthony’s project? “Was it your Dad’s idea?” Mable asked. Tracey told her in the morning that Luke said at the birthday party
As Mable said before, distance would make the heart grow fonder. If she and Blair were always together, what if he got tired of her? Blair accompanied her to the bottom of the apartment building and held her hand, reluctant to let her go. He asked, “Let’s have dinner together tomorrow night.” “Sure.” Mable paused before adding, “We can also watch a movie. Many blockbusters were released recently.” Ordinary couples would dine and watch movies on a date. Since Mable had not experienced that before, this was the right time for them to do it together. “Okay, I’ll check the timings and send you a screenshot.” Mable nodded and said, “Go back and rest early. Call me if you’re unwell.” Blair kissed the back of her hand. “Thanks, Dr. Jefferson.” Afterward, Mable got out of the car. Blair watched her go upstairs and only got into the car when he saw the lights of her unit turned on. “To the company,” he said to the driver. Not long after he arrived, Arthur came. Arthur
“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
