At the mention of Zoe, Kyle’s face turned cold. His eyes filled with anger.“I’ve sent people to keep an eye on Secret, but there’s no news yet.”Kyle did not believe Zoe could hide in Secret for the rest of her life.Anyway, he had plenty of time and patience.Solomon smiled sinisterly and said, “I have a way to get Zoe to show up.”Kyle raised his eyebrows and looked at him. “What is it?”Solomon lowered his voice and said secretly, “If you want the fish to take the bait, you must get a bait she’s interested in. Such as…”With that said, Solomon tipped his head in the direction of Royal View Villa.Kyle immediately understood what he meant. “Mable?”Solomon nodded.Since Zoe had such a good relationship with Mable, she would not sit idly by if she learned that Mable was in trouble.Kyle thought about it for a moment and formulated a plan.......After Kyle and Solomon left, Blair went through some documents in the study and called Tracey, asking her to come back as soon
The moment Blair learned Mable was pregnant, he was so excited that he could not sleep a wink last night. He was so immersed in the joy of becoming a father.Blair was looking forward to the arrival of this child. However, what Mable said burst his bubble of joy.She tensed his jaw and stared at Mable with sharp eyes. A fire ignited in his eyes. “Mable, don’t you dare!”Blair was so angry that his voice trembled.This was their child. How could Mable be so cruel?Mable was furious when she thought of the conversation she had overheard at the study door. She laughed out loud. “You want me to give birth to your child? You’re not worthy!”As soon as she finished speaking, Blair grabbed her chin. He was so angry that he lost his mind and said, “If I’m not worthy, who is? Rory? Or Rahman?”Mable shielded her belly and glared at him. “Blair, I hate you!”She hated herself even more for being so stupid and falling in love with a man like him.Blair narrowed his eyes dangerously and s
Mable frowned when she saw Nicki walk in.What was Nicki doing here?Mable was not fond of the child Blair shared with another woman. Not to mention, Nicki framed her last time.Nicki was such a scheming child. What would she become when she grew older?Nicki held a phone in her hand and looked timidly at Mable. After closing the door, she did not dare approach Mable.“Why are you here?”Mable sat on the sofa and looked at the little girl in front of her coldly.Nicki raised her head to look at Mable. She sensed Mable’s hostility toward her and immediately lowered her head again in fear.However, Nicki thought of what her mother said and hesitated. She walked up to Mable timidly and stretched out her hand to give Mable her phone.“My mother... wants to… talk to you…” Nicki stammered.Mable was stunned and looked at her phone.The phone screen showed that someone was on the line.Mable sneered and took the phone.“Hello.”As soon as she finished speaking, she could hear Ol
Olivia was not at all threatened by Mable. “Nicki is my daughter, but she is also Master Blair’s daughter. If you dare touch her, Master Blair won’t let you get away with it!”Mable stared at Nicki. Her eyes were red with anger. “Ha! Do you think I’m afraid of him?”After that, Mable threw the phone to the ground. The screen instantly shattered.Nicki was startled by the commotion and took a few steps back. She hid far away and did not dare pick up her phone.Mable stared at Nicki and narrowed her eyes threateningly.Her anger almost overtook her reason.Nicki was timid. Seeing Mable’s murderous gaze, Nicki started to cry in silence.She bit her lower lip and squeezed her eyes to control her tears while they streamed down her face. She shrugged her shoulders and looked so aggrieved.Mable looked at Nicki, who was scared to tears because of her, and suddenly came back to her senses. She closed her eyes and thought to herself, ‘Mable, what’s wrong with you?!’Nicki was just a fo
Adam looked at Rory and shook his head. “Her phone is turned off.”Rory frowned even deeper.“What about Rahman?”Adam replied, “I can’t contact him either. He’s probably still under Blair’s control.”Rory narrowed his eyes dangerously. He had a bad premonition in his heart.He regretted letting Mable leave.Mable was skilled. However, with her current physical condition, she was limited. Moreover, she had feelings for Blair.The more Rory thought about it, the more worried he was about Mable’s situation.“Get ready. I’m going to Richworth.”Adam was not at all surprised by Rory’s decision. He had guessed when Mable left that Rory would not trust her to go back alone.“Have breakfast first. I’ll make the arrangements. We can set off in two hours at the latest.”As soon as he finished speaking, the bedroom door pushed open.Zoe walked in anxiously. “I just got the news that Blair is currently holding Mabes captive in the basement and torturing her beyond recognition!”Ten m
After sitting in the office all night, Blair had only gone through three pages of the document in front of him.In the morning, the housekeeper, Grace, called Blair from the villa to report that Mable had not eaten breakfast.Blair was so angry that he punched the table.Mable was threatening him by going on a hunger strike.“Let her be if she doesn’t want to eat!”Blair hung up the phone angrily. His eyes were cold and dark.Mable was already in poor health. She was also pregnant, yet she dared to go on a hunger strike.How could she neglect her body like that?Blair became infuriated the more he thought about it. However, after the anger passed, he felt even more distressed.Less than ten minutes after hanging up, Blair picked up the phone again and dialed Solomon’s number.As soon as the call went through, Solomon said, “What a coincidence! I was just about to call you.”Blair ordered, “Send Mr. Jefferson and Rahman to Royal View Villa at noon and let them meet Mable.”B
Screech——!The driver slammed on the brakes, and the tires made a sharp scraping noise against the road.Due to the momentum, Ralph and Rahman were thrust forward.Rahman held Ralph to stabilize his body and prevent him from hitting his head.However, at this moment, a large truck rammed into them from the side.Bang—!Crash—!The strong impact caused their car to flip in the blink of an eye.Rahman had no time to react before he lost consciousness....Blair returned to the villa at noon and personally cooked a sumptuous lunch.He went upstairs and placed the food in front of Mable.Mable knew as soon as she saw the food that Blair had cooked.In the past, she would have been touched to know that he cooked for her. Now, she just felt repulsed by his act.Seeing that she was sitting still, Blair patiently handed her a fork. “Do you not want to see your grandfather and Rahman? I will let you see them after lunch.”Mable was not thinking about going on a hunger strike. She
“Where’s Ralph?”Blair’s heart almost jumped out of his chest when he saw the blood stains on Solomon’s shirt.“He’s still in the operating room.”Solomon was also injured, but it was not fatal. He was free to leave after the nurse bandaged his wounds. He then stayed outside the operating room, anxiously waiting for any news.Although Blair captured Ralph, Solomon knew Blair had never thought of hurting the old man. That was because Blair loved Mable, and Ralph was Mable’s grandfather.Blair also respected Ralph.If Ralph died, there was really no chance Mable and Blair would reconcile.“Blair.”Solomon looked at Blair and hesitated. “Ralph was seriously injured. He may not…”Solomon did not finish his sentence. However, Blair already knew what he wanted to say.The situation was awry.Blair stared at the operating room door, tightened his jaw, and kept silent. Later, he asked, “Where is Rahman?”“In another operating room. His injuries are also serious but not life-threate
“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
