Mable smiled faintly and sipped her drink. “I’d like to see how difficult he really is to deal with!”If he dared to cause trouble again, she would not mind giving him a good beating.“Mabes, maybe we should head somewhere else...”Before Tracey could finish, a group of men holding steel pipes rushed into the bar.Seeing the menacing group, the people in the bar quickly retreated, trying to minimize their presence.David walked out of the crowd and pointed to Tracey and Mable arrogantly. “It’s them. Tie them up. I’m going to have fun with them tonight!”Tracey realized the situation was turning bad and immediately sent a message to Blair....Meanwhile, Blair was at Mable’s apartment, waiting for her to come back.They had not seen each other for several days.She wanted some space, so he gave her that. However, that did not mean he would allow her to ignore him for such a long time.Blair was quite angry.No matter what, he had to have a good talk with Mable tonight.He l
Mable was drunk, and her mind was a mess.She leaned her head against Blair’s chest and shook it forcefully. “No... It’s me...”Then, she raised her head and grabbed his tie. Her voice quivered with tears. “It’s my fault. I’m frustrated with myself... I hate myself...”Mable could not hold back her tears and leaned on Blair’s shoulder. All her emotions erupted at that moment.Blair was shocked. He thought he had upset her. It turned out that she was frustrated with herself.Why?He stroked her cheek with an aching heart. “Mabes, why do you hate yourself? You’re wonderful to the point where I want to give my life to you. I’m only afraid you’ll reject me.”Mable squinted her drunken eyes and shook her head. “You don’t understand...”Blair tightened his jaw and fell silent before suddenly asking, “Mabes, who do you like more, Blair or Rory?”He took advantage of her being drunk to ask the question he always wanted.Mable tilted her head as if contemplating the question.After a
Mable once asked him if he liked children.His answer was yes. However, Mable said she did not like children. In fact, she disliked them.However, if she really disliked children, why would she be so kind to a stranger’s child in a foreign country? She even kept a photo of them together on her phone.Now, Blair understood that Mable might not dislike children. Rather, she could not have children...That was why she rejected his marriage proposal.“Mabes.”Blair’s heart ached as he looked at the girl in his arms. He tightened his grip, holding her close in his embrace.He liked children. However, compared to her, they were nothing.He kissed her forehead and comforted her while she sobbed. “You silly girl, why didn’t you just tell me?”Blair sighed, his tone filled with helplessness. “Mabes, you underestimate my feelings for you too much.”In this world, no one could surpass her place in his heart.Half an hour later, in Royal View Villa.Blair carried Mable back to his room
A night of heavy drinking left Mable feeling miserable the next day.She lay in bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze. It took her a while to realize that this was not her apartment.She sat up and looked around. This was Blair’s bedroom in Royal View Villa.How did she get here?She recalled drinking with Tracey last night and then encountering troublemakers. She had too much to drink and taught those people a lesson. After that...Mable rubbed her temples. She vaguely remembered seeing Blair.Did he bring her here?She looked down at the nightgown she was wearing. Had Blair changed her?She drank too much last night, so many details were a blur. However, she always had a good tolerance for alcohol. She should not have gone too far, even if she was drunk.“Woof!”A small puppy’s bark sounded by the bed.Mable lowered her head and saw 23 sitting on the carpet beside the bed. The little dog wagged its tail, looking at her with round, adorable eyes.“Good morning, 23!”Mable
Mable was momentarily speechless.What exactly did she say last night?She looked at Blair nervously, realizing for the first time that she might have actually gotten into trouble.She would not drink so much again in the future.Mable finished breakfast on tenterhooks.Afterward, she asked impatiently, “Blair, what exactly did I say last night?”Blair did not speak and took Mable’s hand to lead her to the garden.The garden was filled with blooming roses, their fragrance intoxicating.While gazing at the sea of roses, Mable gradually relaxed without realizing it.Blair looked at Mable and said, “Mabes, last night, you said that you only loved me.”Mable was stunned for a moment. Did she confess her feelings to Blair last night?He grasped her shoulders and asked, “Was that the truth or just nonsense under the influence?”“What do you think?”Mable raised her brows at him. Was there a need to ask? Of course, it was the truth.She had thought she had revealed some incredib
Mable had always been a confident person. However, in front of Blair, she felt inferior.In fact, when she was with him, she had known this day would come eventually. She just did not expect it to arrive so soon.She should not have hoped.Blair narrowed his eyes at Mable, a trace of coldness creeping into his gaze. His tone was icy. “What did you say?”“Let’s break up, Blair.” Mable lowered her gaze, unable to meet his eyes.‘Blair, if you knew the reason behind my infertility, you might despise me.’The words ‘break up’ ignited Blair’s anger.He stared at her. His voice turned cold as he said, “Mable, what do you want me to do for you to believe that my feelings for you won’t change because of a child?”Mable shook his head. “You don’t need to do anything. It’s not you, it’s me.”Blair clenched his jaw, his dark eyes gleaming with a deep coldness. “Mable, is this your love for me?”Just because she was infertile, she wanted to break up.Or was that just an excuse?“I’m so
Mable sat on the couch with 23, who was sitting on her slipper, looking up at her.“23, do you think I did the wrong thing today?”Mable remembered how Blair sounded when he heard her suggest breaking up. It made her feel extremely uncomfortable.She picked 23 up and placed it on her lap, feeling her nose sting. “He loves me, but I can’t be selfish. I’m also afraid he might regret it later. What should I do?”A short pain was better than a prolonged one.Maybe his love for her would gradually fade away.At that thought, Mabel could not hold back her tears.Whenever she thought of Blair not loving her anymore and falling for someone else, it felt like her heart was being torn apart.“Woof...”23 saw her cry and reached its front paws to touch her hand as if trying to comfort her.Mable rubbed 23’s head and could not stop her tears.At that moment, her phone rang.Mable glanced at it. It was from Rahman.She wiped her tears with a tissue. Once her emotions were under control
“Are you sure Anthony is the boss of Black C?” Mable asked.Rahman hesitated. “I can’t be completely sure. I was sitting in a car and saw a group of people surrounding him as he walked out of the hotel. I could only get a brief glimpse.”Black C’s boss had two capable assistants, a man and a woman. They usually handle things on his behalf, so he rarely appeared in public.Recently, when Rahman was investigating Anthony, he saw the latter’s photos and initially thought he looked familiar. Then, he slowly remembered that Anthony bore a resemblance to Black C’s boss Rahman had seen two years ago.However, he could not be entirely certain they were the same person.“What’s the name of Black C’s boss?” Mable asked.“Calvin.”Rahman paused, then said, “I also had someone check Black C’s recent activities. It seems Calvin hasn’t been in Monafett for some time.”“Is that so?”Mable nodded thoughtfully. Calvin had been absent from Monafett recently, and Anthony only returned from Monaf
