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
Martha had breakfast in the morning and came to the Royal View Villa. She brought along a box of pastries. She remembered that Blair liked pastries, so she especially went to get some early in the morning. As soon as she entered the villa, she suppressed her emotions and smiled brightly. “Mom, have some tea first. Blair will be down in a while.” Martha was not a patient person. It was past 10:00 a.m., and still, Blair was not up. She would have gotten mad in the past. However, even if she was displeased at the moment, she still had to smile. Tracey observed her expression. ‘Martha’s acting strange.’Martha took a sip of tea and asked, “Is Mable here too?” Tracey knew she did not like Mable. She quickly shook her head and said, “No, she doesn’t live here.” Martha nodded. ‘As long as she’s not here. ‘She’s not a good person. I’ll have to think of a new way to deal with her.’ Blair only came downstairs once Martha finished her tea. “Blair, you’re up.” Martha stood
Blair withdrew his hand and took a sip of his tea. He put down the teacup. Then, he looked coldly at Martha and asked, “Are you saying you don’t think I can compare to Anthony, an illegitimate son?“Mom, do you have so little confidence in me? Or do you think so highly of him?” The smile on Martha’s face froze. Blair stared sharply at the woman whom he had called his mother for more than 20 years. “No matter what he does, Anthony can’t snatch away anything I have now!” What Anthony could snatch away would only be what he did not need. Marthe scoffed internally. ‘Who do you think you are? Anthony is the real son of the Fowlers. He doesn’t need to snatch anything. Everything belongs to him!’ “Blair, I trust your abilities. However, a family only prospers if there’s harmony. Since your dad let him come back, he’s a part of the family, so you should accept him too.” She paused for a while and added sternly, “You beat him up in front of so many people during the birthday part
The Fowler Residence. Martha returned home in anger and went straight to Anthony’s bedroom after putting down her bag. “Anthony, how do you feel today? Do your injuries still hurt?” Looking at Anthony’s wrist in the cast, Martha’s heart ached. Her hatred for Blair intensified. “Mom, I’m fine.” Anthony sat up on the bed with a laptop on his lap. It seemed he was reading something just now. “You went to look for Blair?” Martha was mad when she heard that. “Don’t mention that brute. I raised him for so many years in vain!” Anthony smiled faintly. “Mom, why don’t you tell Dad not to transfer his shares to me? Lest Blair gets angry.” Martha frowned. “What are you talking about? You deserve it!” Anthony had suffered for so many years. Now that he was finally back, how could he continue to suffer? “Not to mention the shares, no one would dare say anything even if you want to take over the company.” Martha patted his shoulder gently and said, “Anthony, you don’t need
Mable met with the person in charge of the northern suburb project in the morning. She tendered Jefferson Enterprise’s proposal. In the afternoon, she went to the Morse Residence to treat Old Master Morse with acupuncture. After a few consecutive days of acupuncture treatment and herbal footbath, Old Master Morse’s improved significantly. Not only did the pain reduce, but his muscles had also regained some strength. Mable checked his condition and decided that the frequency of acupuncture treatment could be reduced in a few days. Howard was at home at the moment. Seeing she was about to leave, he offered to drive her home. On the way, he brought up the incident at Luke’s birthday party. “Word has spread in Richworth in the past two days. Everyone is waiting to watch a good show. Do you think Anthony can fight against Master Blair?”Mable sat in the passenger seat and snorted. Blair could easily take Anthony out if he wanted to. He just could not be bothered. As Howar
Howard suddenly spoke, so Mable could not cover the microphone in time. Blair immediately asked, “Are you with Howard?” “...Mm. He sent me home,” Mable answered.‘He must be jealous again.’ She quickly added, “I’m downstairs. I’ll be right there.” Mable hung up after that. She unfastened her seatbelt and said, “Thanks for sending me back. I’ll head up first.” “Aren’t you going to invite me for tea?” Howard smiled faintly and asked.Mable froze and replied to him politely, “My boyfriend is here. It’s not a good time.” Howard nodded and looked as if it was a pity. “Alright.” Mable got out of the car, and Howard handed her her medical kit. “Bye.” “Bye.” Before Mable arrived at the building entrance, she saw Blair walking out. Blair rushed toward her and embraced her. He looked toward Howard, standing not far away. Mable looked up at him and smiled. “Why did you come downstairs?” Blair did not say anything and simply kissed her. “Mmph!” The kiss took Mable
“Blair, are you really going to give us the project?” Mable asked Blair seriously.Blair kissed her forehead and said, “Mabes, I’ll give you anything you want.” “You’ve given me what I want most.” She kissed the corner of his lips. Blair raised his eyebrow. “What is it?” Mable pursed her lips and chuckled without saying anything. ‘Your love, of course.’ As she said to Howard, mutual love was the most beautiful thing. She had it now. Mable touched Blair’s eyebrows gently and said, “Rest.” Blair soon fell asleep. Mable, however, was not sleepy. After staying with him for an hour, she carefully got out of bed to prepare dinner. She ordered some ingredients online, and they were delivered to her place after half an hour. When Blair woke up, it was dark outside. He walked out of the bedroom and smelled the delicious food. Footsteps were coming from the kitchen, and he saw Mable walking out with a casserole. “You’re awake.” Mable was about to go and wake him up
‘A foreign number?’ Mable took her phone and answered the call. “Hello?” “...” It was quiet. Mable looked at her phone and saw that the call was still connected. “Who’s this?” Still, no one spoke. Mable frowned. “If you’re not going to talk, I’m hanging up!” ‘Who’s this fooling around?’ After waiting for a few seconds, she hung up impatiently. “What’s wrong?” Blair asked. “Nobody spoke. It’s either a wrong call or a prank. Ignore it.” Mable handed him the phone. She removed her makeup and got ready to take a shower. At this moment, Blair walked in. Mable pushed him. “Get out. I’m going to take a shower.” Blair held her hand. “The water bill for an apartment seems more expensive than a landed property.” “I think so.” Mable did not understand why he suddenly brought that up. Blair pulled her into his arms and said, “So, to save water, let’s shower together.” Mable widened her eyes. ‘So, this is what you meant.’ “No, I can afford to pay the water bill
“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
