Beatrice pretended to be understanding and advised Martha, “Aunt Martha, don’t be mad. Blair probably said that on impulse.” “It wasn’t!” Blair looked coldly at them. “I’m a man of my word. In this life, my wife and the missus of the Fowlers will only be Mable!” Beatrice was stunned and clenched her fists fiercely. ‘On what grounds?! ‘How am I inferior to that b*tch? Why does Blair like her so much?’ Blair’s eyes were dark and hollow. “Also, Mabes is my wife. Even if you don’t like her, please respect her. Do not let me hear you insult her again!” Even though he was wearing a hospital gown and was pale and weak, he still gave off a sense of oppression. Martha was infuriated. “In any case, as long as I’m around, Mable won’t have a place in our family. Your dad won’t acknowledge her either!” After saying that, Martha turned around and walked out. As soon as she was out of the ward, she saw Mable standing against the wall, enjoying the show. Martha had truly underest
“The doctor came to check just now. The wound isn’t open. Stay and talk to me. It won’t hurt if you distract me,” Blair said. Mable was dumbstruck.‘Talking to you can stop the pain?’ Blair was happy to see Mable so worried about him. Only then would he feel that he had a place in her heart. Even if that was not the case before, he was sure he had earned a place in her heart after the incident this time. “Don’t take what my mom said to heart. She can’t sway me, and I won’t let her hurt you half as much,” Blair suddenly said. Mable shrugged, seemingly unbothered. “Thanks for protecting me just now. You did not need to do that. It’s not worth getting into a fight with your mom over me!” As soon as she said that, she felt Blair grip her hand even harder. “Mable, you’re worth it!” Blair said while looking into her eyes. Mable pursed her lips and turned to look outside the window. “Blair, thanks for saving me again.” Blair played with her hand and smiled faintly. “So, h
Mable froze and stood up abruptly. ‘This voice… ‘It’s him!’ “What’s wrong?” Blair thought something was wrong when he saw her huge reaction. Mable snapped back to her senses and calmed down, pretending to be relaxed. “Nothing. I’m just going out to take a call.” After saying that, she walked out of the ward with her phone. Blair frowned as he watched her leave in a hurry. … Mable had just walked out of the ward when the man’s voice came from the phone again. “Who was the man who spoke just now?” “Someone who has nothing to do with you!” Mable said nonchalantly. She did not know how this man got her phone number. She was unprepared and broke out in a cold sweat when she heard his voice. “Then what’s your relationship with him?” The man pursued relentlessly. Mable paused for a moment before she answered, “Nothing.” If the man knew about her relationship with Blair, she would not have peace in the future. “Are you sure?” Obviously, the man on the other en
Blair just told Mable that he did not want a divorce. In the blink of an eye, Rahman changed their marital status to divorcees. Rahman waited for a long time. When he did not receive a reply from Mable, he directly sent her a voice message. “Mabes, don’t tell me you’re in love with Blair and can’t bear to divorce him.” Rahman advised her bitterly, “There are plenty of fishes in the sea. Please don’t be hung up on Blair. You should broaden your perspective.” Mable held her phone. She looked firm as she thought of something. She typed a response to Rahman: [Thanks.] It was good that they were divorced. After all, she and Blair would not have worked out anyway. Mable’s thoughts were a little messy at the moment. She did not want to go back to the ward to face Blair. In the ward. Blair had been waiting for Mable to return from her call. He thought about Mable’s reaction earlier and could not help but be curious about the caller. At this moment, the ward door opened. H
Mable hurried back to the villa, worried and angry. ‘Is Blair stupid or what? He just got out of an operation, yet he asked to be discharged. Does he think this is a game?!’ As soon as Mable arrived at the villa, she got out before the car stopped completely. “Mabes, you’re back!” Tracey had been waiting at the door after their call. “How’s Blair? Is the doctor not here yet?” Mable asked while running upstairs. Tracey did not dare to look at her. She pretended to be serious as she answered, “The doctor isn’t here yet. I called him to hurry up, but he said there’s traffic on the way.” Mable rushed into the bedroom to find Blair passed out on the bed with a red face. Solomon stood by the bed with a stiff face. She walked over to the bedside and touched Blair’s forehead. It was very hot indeed. “Blair? Blair?” Mable called him twice, but there was no response. “There’s a medical kit downstairs. Go get it!” “I’ll go!” Solomon ran downstairs and quickly returned wi
Mable lowered her head to study the scar on Blair’s chest closely. ‘This… isn’t a tattoo?’ When she and Blair had just gotten married, she had once barged into his bedroom without his permission. At that time, he had just finished showering and was shirtless, so she noticed the number on his chest. She did not look closely then, so she thought it was a tattoo. After learning from Tracey that his first love was called Liv, Mable thought he had her name tattooed close to his heart. Now, it seemed she had misunderstood. It was not a tattoo, but a scar. Mable gently caressed the scar on Blair’s chest. She wondered if it had anything to do with Liv. While she was lost in thought, her hand was suddenly held. Mable came back to her senses and met Blair’s deep eyes. “Mabes, you’re back.” Mable’s heart skipped a beat. She nodded. “Mm, you’re awake. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?” While she asked, she withdrew her hand calmly and helped him button up his pajamas
Early the next morning. When Mable woke up, Blair was leaning against the head of the bed while reading a document on his laptop. Seeing she had awoken, he naturally kissed her on the lips. “Good morning, Mabes.” Mable returned to her senses and recalled her kiss with Blair last night, which left her catching her breath. Her face flushed red. “Morning.” Afterward, she hurriedly got out of bed and washed up. Tracey brought them breakfast. After Blair ate, Mable took his pulse and checked his wound again. “Stay in bed for the next two days, and don’t fool around anymore. I’ll give you another drip once I’ve changed your bandage.” Blair studied her and asked, “Mabes, you studied medicine?” If Amos had not brought it up yesterday, he would not have known that it was Mable who operated on him. “Mm. I learned a bit of Chinese and Western medicine,” Mable answered casually. ‘No wonder she’s so skilled at treating wounds. It turns out she studied medicine and is versed in
Now that Blair’s heart was with Mable, he could not have anyone else. Only she could be his wife! He would compensate Liv in another way. Solomon finally understood. It seemed Blair was truly in love with Mable. “Are you not going to look into Mable’s identity, then?” Even Rahman and Hugh were willing to serve Mable. It was evident she was more than just the eldest miss of the Jeffersons. Blair narrowed his eyes slightly and put out his cigarette. “No.” Mable had many secrets. She was unwilling to tell them now because she did not trust him enough and had not fully accepted him yet. He could not rush it, much less force her. “She’ll tell me when she fully accepts me.” Solomon tsked and gloated, “Given her character, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a long time.” ‘After all, you tortured her so much in the past. You deserve this!’ Blair smiled bitterly and suddenly remembered something important. “Oh, right. Have someone go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and revoke the
“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
