When Mable returned to the hospital, she remembered that she had an appointment with the gynecologist that day.She went to get a number, had a body check-up, and did an HCG test. Since it was late, the test results would not come out until tomorrow.After the examination, Mable went to the ward to see Zoe.Zoe was awake and preparing to be discharged.“Mabes, I bought a ticket to return to Fasier tomorrow morning,” Zoe said to Mable.Mable nodded. “What time is your flight? I’ll see you off.”“It’s okay. You’ve been so kind to take care of me these past two days. You should rest.”Zoe hugged Mable and said, “Don’t worry about me. I’m not that fragile. I’ll get over him.”“Mabes, I may not be able to attend your wedding. I’m really sorry I have to back out of being your bridesmaid.”“It’s okay.” Mable patted Zoe’s back to comfort her.“Zoe, one day you will meet a man who treats you wholeheartedly.”Zoe said nothing.Mable wanted to take Zoe back to the villa. However, Zoe
Mable changed the topic and asked, “Is there a problem with the company recently? I noticed you’ve been very busy ever since you came back.”Blair suppressed the emotions in his heart and shook his head. “It’s not a big problem. Don’t worry.”Mable nodded and did not ask any more questions.After dinner, Blair was processing some documents in the study when he received a call from Kyle.“Is Mable with you?” Kyle asked as soon as the call was connected.Blair laughed and said, “Why? Do you want to take revenge on her, too?”Although Kyle was his close friend, Blair would not allow Kyle to hurt Mable.Kyle said, “No. I have something to tell you about Mable.”Blair spun the pen in his hand and said, “What is it?”“I’ve been keeping something from you this whole time. Zoe was the one who stole the A117 reagent from me.”“What?” Blair sat up straight. There was a sharp glint in his eyes.“I never told you because I wanted to deal with Zoe on my own.”Kyle continued, “I also fou
Positive!Mable stared at the report in her hand with wide eyes and covered her mouth with one hand. She could not believe what she read.She repeatedly confirmed the name and ID on the report several times, fearing that the hospital had made a mistake.However, the name and ID were correct.She was six weeks pregnant.Mable touched her belly. There was a life growing in her.She never thought that such a miracle would happen to her.Mable’s eyes teared up in joy.She was seriously injured in that incident five years ago. At that time, the doctor said her chances of getting pregnant were extremely slim. So, she never had any hope for it.Unexpectedly, God gave her such a miracle.Mable lowered her head and stared at her flat belly.It was her and Blair’s child.They had a child together.At six weeks, one would be able to hear the baby’s heartbeat through ultrasound. Thinking of this, Mable immediately made an appointment for an ultrasound.Soon, it was her turn.Mable w
Mable thought about it for a while and agreed.There was a shopping mall nearby with a cafe. So, Mable parked the car and walked to the shopping mall with the woman.The woman walked beside Mable and held the umbrella over Mable’s head ingratiatingly.Mable immediately distanced herself from the woman. “Thank you, but there’s no need.”The woman said nothing and followed Mable into the mall with a smile.When they arrived at the cafe, Mable wanted to order a cup of coffee. However, she recalled that she was pregnant and ordered a cup of kiwi juice instead.The woman just ordered a glass of water.“So, who are you, and what do you want from me?” Mable got straight to the point.The woman stared at Mable. “Mable.”Mable immediately interrupted her. “Please be more formal with me.”“I’ll call you Ms. Jefferson, then.”The woman picked up the glass and took a sip of water. She stared at Mable with a soft gaze. “Hello, Ms. Jefferson. My name is Olivia Page.”She paused and flash
“What did you say?” Mable was so shocked that she doubted her hearing.“I said, please give Master Blair to me. Don’t marry him!”Olivia grabbed Mable’s hand and begged her. “Ms. Jefferson, you’re such an outstanding woman. You will definitely find a man who loves you very much. Please give Master Blair to me. I love him. I fell in love with him at first sight, so I was willing to save him.”“Let go of me!”Mable shook off her hand angrily and said, “How can I give Blair to you? Do you think he’s an object? Don’t think you can make any demands without restraint just because you saved him.”“I don’t think of Master Blair as an object. I just love him too much.”Olivia stared at Mable with red eyes. “If it weren’t for you, Master Blair would’ve married me. My position in his heart is unparalleled.”Mable suddenly stood up and glared at Oliva. “That’s only because you saved his life.”Mable believed that Blair could tell which was more important to him—his savior or wife.Olivia
After that, Olivia got up and left the cafe.Mable sat in the cafe, taking two deep breaths to suppress the anger and doubt in her heart.She must ask Blair for clarification.Thus, Mable drove over to Blair’s office.Blair’s new office was in the same building as Jefferson Enterprise’s subsidiary. The receptionist was familiar with Mable and greeted her when he saw her coming.Mable said she wanted to see Blair. However, the receptionist told her that Blair was not in the office.“Have there been problems with the company recently?”The receptionist smiled and replied, “Our overseas business is transferring to Richworth, but it’s nothing too difficult.”“Did Mr. Fowler come to the office today?” Mable asked again.“Mr. Fowler came to the office for a meeting at 9:00 a.m. and left after that.”Mable nodded, turned around, and left the building.Blair had really lied to her. His disappearance last night was not due to work matters. He was not in the office, either.So, was w
Kyle asked as Blair ended the call. “Did Liv go missing?” Blair shook his head. “No. Damion said she went out on her own this morning.” Kyle raised a brow. “Oh? I thought she was still on the mend. Why did she go off on her own?” Liv was injured all over and could barely walk on her own when they found her. She should be resting in bed on the doctor’s orders.With his eyes on Blair, Solomon asked probingly, “Are you planning to keep the thing about Liv from Mable, Blair?” Kyle glanced at Solomon. The question had been bugging him since they brought Liv back. Blair clenched his jawline, his dark eyes unreadable. “I won’t keep it from her forever. I’ll tell her about Liv after the wedding at the latest.” Now that he had located Liv, everything else should have been a breeze for him. To his surprise, things did not progress as he expected. The unexpected caught him off guard. He was at a loss as to how to explain to Mable. Kyle and Solomon exchanged glances and sai
“Sure,” Kyle responded readily. Solomon was surprised. “Haha. I thought you didn’t engage with women at club establishments like Blair. What happened to you?” Kyle took a puff and blew a donut. “Just feeling frustrated.” “Did you really break up with Zoe?” Solomon asked. Kyle gave him the side-eye. “Don’t talk about her to me.” Solomon smiled without a word. …Since it was early, there were not many guests at the bar. Kyle and Solomon went upstairs to a private room, and soon, three pretty women joined them. Solomon pointed at Kyle, who started drinking right after sitting down, and told the three women, “Mr. Goodman isn’t in a good mood today. You must be good hostesses to him.” Good at what they did for a living, the three women went over to Kyle right away. Kyle looked up and glanced callously at the trio. In the end, he pointed at the woman in the middle. Solomon got the message and plucked his chin at the other two women. “You can leave now.” While talking
“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
