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
Grace had already called the family doctor, who would arrive in about half an hour.Mable examined Nicki and found that her immunity was very poor. Nicki’s fever and convulsions were caused by a respiratory infection.The weather changed, and the temperature dropped suddenly today. Nicki had not worn enough clothes and caught a cold.Mable did acupuncture on Nicki to stop her from twitching and removed the towel from her mouth.She also asked the maid to wipe Nicki’s body to bring down the fever. After a while, the family doctor came and gave Nicki an injection. Nicki should be able to recover.The maid followed Mable’s instructions and started to wipe Nicki’s body to cool her down. As soon as the maid took off Nicki’s pajamas, she covered her mouth and exclaimed.“Oh my goodness!”Mable had already reached the door. When she heard the maid’s shout, she turned around and asked, “What’s wrong?”The maid pointed at Nicki’s back and could not bear to look at it. “Ms. Nicki has so
Mable was shocked she would care about Blair and laughed at herself for it.Blair was probably sad because Nicki was sick.Blair touched Mable’s face and said in a low voice, “Mabes, why are you laughing?”Mable did not answer, slapped his hand away, and turned her back to him.Blair was silent for a while. Then he went to the bathroom.When Mable heard the shower running, she frowned, sat up, and turned on the light.After a while, Blair came out of the bathroom in his pajamas and walked straight toward Mable.“Stop.”Mable spoke coldly.Blair paused.Mable said, “Either you leave or let me stay in another room.”Blair had a sullen face and walked straight to the bed.Without saying a word, Mable got out from under the quilt.However, Blair acted fast. He grabbed her hand to stop her from getting out of bed. He lifted the quilt and laid down beside her.Blair pulled Mable into his arms and buried his head in the crook of her neck. “Mabes, I won’t do anything to you. Let’
It was late fall and raining, so it was humid and cold.It was thundering and pouring outside.However, the bedroom was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.Blair raised his head and looked at the woman in his embrace. At this moment, he curled his lips slightly into a sexy smile. His deep black eyes were like a bottomless, cold pool.“Mabes, do you really mean it?”Mable moved her lips. However, before she could make a sound, Blair kissed her to block her words.His strong scent enveloped her.Blair did not give her a chance to resist and continued kissing her.......The next day, the temperature dropped sharply because it rained all night.The highest temperature yesterday was 18 degrees Celsius, but it was 8 degrees Celsius today.Blair got out of bed quietly for fear of waking Mable, who was still asleep.He went to the next room to wash up and then went to the study.Amos came early in the morning to report on the situation in the hospital.“Rahman has passed t
Mable looked at Blair angrily. Her face turned livid.“Wash up. I’ll wait for you downstairs.”After that, Blair turned and left the bedroom.Mable calmed down. She thought about it and felt an opportunity arise.As long as she could leave this villa, she would have a chance to escape.After Mable washed up, she took the mobile phone she stole from Nicki yesterday and went downstairs.Blair was waiting for her in the dining room. When he saw her, he stood up and pulled out a chair for her.He served her some oatmeal and said, “Trace just sent me a message saying she would arrive in the afternoon. Let’s have dinner together this evening.”Mable said nothing. She lowered her head and ate the oatmeal.“Mabes, you’re underweight. You should eat more.”“I made your favorite buns with custard. Try some.”“Finish your milk…”During breakfast, Blair took care of Mable and kept serving her food.He looked at her with such a tender and doting gaze.Mable took a few bites and put do
Hospital.Olivia sat on the hospital bed and said over the phone, “Mable, I don’t think you know that your grandfather died yesterday, right? I heard he wasn’t breathing when he was sent to the hospital. They didn’t manage to resuscitate him.”“Impossible!”Mable shouted over the phone.Olivia chuckled lightly. “You can ask Master Blair if you don’t believe me. Though, I don’t think he will tell you. I also heard he stopped the news of your grandfather’s death from getting leaked. I think he did this just to hide it from you.“Forget it. Since you’ve given me your blood, I’ll tell you something else I learned. Your grandfather’s body has been sent to Wistmount Funeral Home.”After Olivia finished speaking, she remembered something and reminded Mable. “Don’t let Master Blair know I told you. Otherwise, he’ll definitely get angry with me.”Olivia hung up the phone without giving Mable a chance to speak.She stared at her phone with a smug smile on her face.Blair wanted to hide
“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
