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
In the end, Blair won the race. He drove past the finish line and got out of the car to walk toward Mable’s car. “Why did you slow down?” Given Mable’s skills, there was no way Blair could have won against her. Mable removed her helmet and flipped her hair. She said, with a bright smile, “My boyfriend is unhappy, and I wanted to make him happy.” Blair was stunned and moved. Mable put down her helmet and looked up to ask him, “Do you feel better after winning the race?” Blair hugged her and said, “Thank you, Mabes.” Mable patted his back. “You’re welcome. As long as you’re happy, I’m happy.” Although she did not know what was bothering him, she did not want to see him unhappy. “Blair, you can talk to me. Don’t keep everything to yourself. If there’s something you can’t solve, maybe I can help.” Blair kissed her forehead. “Mabes, I haven’t thought about it yet. Give me some time, and I’ll tell you soon.” “Well, I’m ready to listen whenever.” “Mm.” After huggin
There were few vehicles on the road in the suburbs at night. A silver-gray sedan was parked on the side of the road with double flashing lights on. The dim street lights shone through branches and leaves on the car windows. Mable stared at Blair, who was pressing her down. She reached out to gently caress his soft hair. “Speak!” Blair gritted his teeth hard. Mable could tell how mad and aggrieved Blair was. She could not hold back and snorted out a laugh. “Blair, you look like you’ve been abandoned.” She would have taken a picture of him if it was not for the fear of him getting angry. He was too handsome! She liked seeing him like this. Blair cursed in a low voice, “I’m about to be abandoned by my wife!” Mable scoffed. “I’m not your wife!” Before Blair could speak, she added, “Also, who’s about to abandon you?” Blair frowned. “Didn’t you book a flight back to Ashdale?” That was why he was mad. Mable booked a flight back to Ashdale tomorrow and was ready to
Mable did not have much to pack, only a laptop and paper documents. Blair sent her to the airport and went to work once she boarded the plane. It was just after 2:00 p.m. when Mable landed. Since it was still early, she went to the company. While she was away, the company’s affairs were handled by her assistant and several hand-picked subordinates. They reported to her whenever something happened. Mable only went back to her villa when she got off work in the afternoon. She sent a message in advance to her grandpa, telling him she would be back today. So, he ordered the maids to make some of her favorite foods. At the dining table, Mable told Ralph about the northern suburb project. “Is Blair really willing to give up the project to us?” Ralph asked. He was surprised. After all, it was a huge project, and many people were eyeing it.“Anthony, Blair’s half-brother is in charge of the project now…” Mable roughly explained everything. “Is that so?” Ralph was shocked.
Richworth. In the CEO’s office at Fowler Enterprise. Blair was on a video call with Mable when Solomon suddenly came to him with a file. Mable heard Solomon’s voice and knew Blair was probably going to be busy. So, she said, “Go, I won’t bother you any longer. Make sure to rest early when you’re done.” Blair nodded. “Okay, you too. Good night.” Solomon stood on the side and had goosebumps when he heard how gentle Blair’s tone was. ‘Is this really Master Blair? ‘He’s so cheesy.’ Next, Blair hung up and looked coldly at Solomon. “What did you find out?” “See for yourself.” Solomon handed him the file. Blair took it and read the content. Solomon sat on the sofa as he said, “When Anthony was born, his mother died in childbirth. However, it was a smooth labor. I found the hospital where he was born and saw your dad’s signature on the surgical consent form.” Blair looked through the documents and finally found the signed consent form. When Anthony’s mother gave bi
