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
As soon as Blair passed out, Mable opened her eyes. She turned on the bedroom’s main light and got out of bed. After washing up, changing her clothes, and packing her stuff, she finally messaged Hugh to inform him to make a move. Mable walked to the bedside and stared at the unconscious Blair with a bitter smile. “Even though I can’t have your heart, at least I got your body. That’s what you’re after anyway.” Mable caressed his handsome face. “See you next time, Blair. Oh, no, wait. See you never.” Then, she turned around and left the bedroom. A few minutes later, a black Land Rover silently drove out of the villa. … The next day. Solomon went downstairs to have breakfast, only to find Tracey alone in the dining room. “Master Blair hasn’t gotten up yet?” Tracey glanced upstairs ambiguously and smiled happily. “It’s not just Blair who hasn’t gotten up yet. It’s Blair and Mabes!” She stressed the last few words. Solomon raised his eyebrow and instantly underst
This was the second time Mable knocked Blair out after s*x and ran away. ‘That trashy woman!’ Blair turned cold as he recalled last night’s events. He was boiling with anger! “Solomon, take some men to the airport and railway station!” ‘Mable, you’d better not let me find you, or I’ll break your legs!’ “Understood.” Solomon immediately went to carry out Blair’s order. “Blair, did you make Mabes angry again?” Otherwise, why would she leave without a word? Blair clenched his fists. He was close to serving her as if she was his master. How could he have made her angry?! Tracey was sad when she saw how hurt he looked. “Blair… Is Mabes never coming back?” Blair felt a dull ache in his heart. He knew Mable never wanted to return to Richworth when she first left. If he had not kidnapped Old Master Jefferson halfway and used him to threaten her, she might not have been with him this whole time. Blair had just put his life on the line to save Mable. He thought th
Miston, the capital of Monafett. “Achoo!“Achoo!”Mable sneezed several times in a row as soon as she got off the plane.She estimated that Blair should have woken up by this point. He must be itching to kill her at the moment. Rahman had been waiting outside the airport for a long time. Once he received Mable, he handed her something as if it was a treasure. “Mabes, here’s a gift for you!” “Hm?”Mable took a look and saw it was the divorce certificate between her and Blair. Rahman continued as if he was asking for praise, “I sent the other copy to Blair. Now, you can finally get rid of him. Are you happy?!” Mable stared at Blair’s name on the divorce certificate, dazed. No matter how the relationship started, it was now over. Seeing as Mable did not say anything, Rahman teased her, “You seem very reluctant to let him go.” Mable curbed her emotions and put the divorce certificate into her bag. She changed the topic and asked, “How are the arrangements in Richwor
‘Mabes must be having an attack,’ Rahman thought. … It was early morning when Blair and his entourage arrived at the airport in Monafett’s capital. Blair received a call from Kyle as soon as he got off the plane. “Who’s this old man in the nursing home? Monafett’s mercenaries were here. If I hadn’t been well-prepared, I would’ve been killed.” Blair narrowed his eyes and asked, “How many people were there?” “There were more than 20 of them, all skilled. They injured a lot of my men, but don’t worry. The old man is still here. They can’t take him away.” Richworth was their turf, after all. Even the strongest opponent could not defeat the local force. “Thanks.” Blair gave him a few more instructions before hanging up. After getting into the car, he ordered the driver, “Head to Rahman’s place first.” Since Mable was here, she was most likely staying at Rahman’s place. Solomon turned to look at Blair from the passenger seat. “Master Blair, why don’t you eat something
Mable stood in the center of the ring with her head slightly lowered. As she looked at the blood all over her hands, she finally felt better. Sure enough, she could only suppress her restless emotions by venting this way. Mable was ready to get off the stage. At this time, rose petals suddenly fell from above. “Sonora, I love you. Marry me!” A familiar voice, familiar lines, and a familiar scene appeared in front of her again. Leo walked up to the stage and knelt on one knee in front of Mable. Not only did he have flowers in his hand, but he was also holding a huge diamond ring this time. “My dear, charming Sonora, please say yes to my marriage proposal. I’ll always love you, protect you, and be absolutely loyal to you. I’ll give you everything, even my life.” Leo was the boss behind Leaux’s underground boxing arena, so he received the news as soon as Mable showed up. Mable looked condescendingly at the man kneeling in front of her. She had no emotions on her cold fac
“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
