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
Blair’s expression changed dramatically. A hint of panic flashed through his eyes as he carried Mable out of the building.After getting in the car, Blair immediately ordered the driver to go to the hospital.“Mabes, Mabes, wake up…”Blair kept patting Mable’s cheek in a panic.The car sped to the nearest hospital.Blair rushed into the hospital with Mable in his arms and shouted for the doctor.Soon, several doctors and nurses rushed over. They put Mable onto a bed and pushed her into the emergency room.Blair wanted to follow them in, but the nurse stopped him.He anxiously stood outside and prayed nothing would happen to Mable.About twenty minutes later, the doctor came out of the emergency room and said, “Don’t worry. The patient fainted due to hypoglycemia. She’s fine now.”Hearing what the doctor said, Blair finally breathed a sigh of relief.That scared him to death.“Thank you. Can I go in and see her?”The doctor wrote something on the medical record and said, “J
Airport.After Adam and Rory got off the plane, they turned on their phones and found missed calls from the same unknown number.The number was from Richworth.Adam called back.After the call was connected, he said, “Hello, I received a missed call from you on my phone. Who are you?”“Adam, it’s me.”Mable’s voice came through.Adam raised his eyebrows. “Mabes, are you okay?”“Yeah.”Mable’s voice was weak, so it was hard to believe thst she was fine.“Rorr and I have just arrived in Richworth. Where are you now? We will pick you up.”“You’re in Richworth?”Mable paused and said, “Wait for me at the airport. I have to confirm something and will contact you again after.Adam glanced at Rory, who was beside him, and asked Mable, “What do you want to confirm?”“Beep—”Mable hung up the phone.“What did she say?” Rory asked with a frown.Adam looked at him. “Mabes asked us to wait for her at the airport. She said she must confirm something now.”Rory frowned and felt une
Blair stood at the door. His whole body was tense as he listened to Mable’s cries. He felt so distressed that he found it difficult to breathe.He still did not manage to hide this from her.Blair clenched his fists tightly and walked in with difficulty.In the memorial hall, Mable kneeled beside her grandfather’s body while Ethan stood behind her with his head lowered. His eyes were slightly red.Hearing footsteps, Ethan turned his head and saw Blair walking over in a black suit.Ethan looked at Mable, then at Blair, and stepped aside.Mable held her grandfather’s cold and thin hand. Her face was pale and covered with tears.“Grandpa, Grandpa... I’m sorry, Grandpa…”The only relative she had passed away. Mable could not accept this fact and was heartbroken.All of this was her fault. If she had listened to her grandfather and left Blair in the first place, none of this would have happened.She was too willful. In the end, her grandfather had to suffer the consequences.At t
#Adam found Mable’s phone location—Wistmount Funeral Home. When Adam arrived, he saw two ambulances driving out of the funeral home from a distance, followed by three to four cars.Adam got out of the car and inquired about the situation. When he got back into the car, his expression was solemn.He looked at Rory and said, “Mabes’ grandfather just passed away. His body is inside.”Rory’s expression darkened in an instant, and he got out of the car.Rory entered the memorial hall and noticed the staff cleaning up the blood stains on the floor. He frowned and asked, “What’s going on?”Why was there so much blood on the floor?Adam replied, “It should be Blair’s. I heard Mabes stabbed him in the heart.”Rory squinted his eyes slightly. His gaze was sharp.That was long overdue!Mable stabbed Blair in front of her grandfather’s memorial, which meant Blair had probably killed her grandfather.Rory stared at Ralph’s portrait, walked over, and bowed to pay his respects.Adam also b
The ICU was supposed to be a clean and peaceful place. However, there was strong tension in the air now.“Don’t be so nervous. I just stopped by to take a look.”Rory looked at the people standing before him with disdain in his eyes.Solomon snorted coldly. “I think you’re just here for a laugh!”Rory looked at him. “A laugh? Ha! Yes, it’s truly funny.”Rory asked the doctor about Blair’s injury. If Mable had moved the scalpel one centimeter deeper, Blair would already be lying in the coffin.Mable was a doctor and knew human anatomy very well. She should be able to stab Blair’s heart accurately even with her eyes closed.However, Mable still showed mercy to Blair.That was the funny part.“Tell Blair I will use all of Secret’s strength to make his life hell!”Since Mable spared his life, Rory would grant her wish and let Blair live for now.However, Rory would not let this slide.Kyle narrowed his eyes dangerously and sneered. “How arrogant!”Kyle used Tracey’s number to
“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
