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
