Blair did not need to say anything. Solomon knew the answer just by looking at his face.Blair must have found Mable.Besides Mable, who else would be brave enough to scratch Blair?Solomon hesitated for a moment and asked, “Was Mable taken away by Aust?”At first, they got the news that Aust had kidnapped Mable. Later, Liv said Mable and Aust were colluding to capture her.When they found Aust’s lair, it had been burned to ashes. Mable and Aust were nowhere to be found.They also sent people to search for Mable and Aust, but there were no results.In addition, Blair was in a coma at that time. With X Group in a critical state, Solomon and Kyle had their hands full and were not so concerned about finding Mable.Blair lit a cigarette and recalled what Mable said last night. His eyes filled with rage.He sneered. “I guess that was the plan she cooked up to escape from me.”Blair thought, ‘All that so she could leave me and get rid of our child to stay with Rory…‘Mable, you ar
Olivia thought of Mable, who was in Royal View Villa, and asked, “Blair, can you come over tonight?”“Last week, the kindergarten teacher gave Nicki an assignment that requires a father’s guidance. We will have to provide photo evidence, too. The assignment is due tomorrow…”Olivia lowered her head, looking aggrieved, as she said, “When I went to the kindergarten at noon, I heard from the teacher that all the other children had submitted their assignments. Nicki is the only one who hasn’t done it yet… I’m worried that if Nicki doesn’t submit this assignment, the other kids in her class will think she doesn’t have a father…”Blair’s face changed slightly. He stayed silent before saying, “Tell Nicki I will come over tonight after work.”Olivia looked delighted. “Thank you, Blair. I will cook your favorite dishes tonight and wait for you for dinner.”Blair nodded.After achieving her goal, Olivia did not stay long and left soon after.Amos walked Olivia to the elevator. “Goodbye, M
Tracey panicked as the little man just sat in bed, not eating or drinking since he woke up last night. “Hey, little guy. You’ve been sitting for a long time. Aren’t you tired? Are you hungry or thirsty?“Can you talk to me?” She was met with silence. Tracey patiently carried freshly made breakfast to him. “Look. I made you a sandwich and a glass of milk. Hmm, it’s yummy. Why don’t you have a little?” The kid was without a word. He would not even look at her. Keeping a gentle smile on her face, Tracey said, “If you don’t like this, just let me know what you fancy eating. I’ll make it for you, okay?” Silence ensued. Out of options, Tracey put her hands on her waist and had a finger up to his nose furiously and anxiously. “I was up all night with you, brat. My mouth is dry from talking to you. Just say something. Don’t tell me you’re mute.” It was fine if he did not want to talk, but he should at least eat something. His body would not be able to take it at this rate.
Tracey was close to tears on the other end of the line. “Call the doctor. I’ll be there soon.” Blair told the chauffeur to change course to Tracey’s residence. … Meanwhile, Mabel waited the whole day at Royal View Villa. However, Blair was not back even though it was almost dark. She could not wait anymore. “Get me a laptop,” Mable opened the door and told Arthur, who was keeping watch outside. After much hesitation, Arthur instructed his men to bring a laptop to Mable. Blair only said to keep an eye on Mable so she would not leave. He never said Mable could not have a laptop. Mable started searching for Spike’s location after getting a computer. Spike’s watch was installed with GPS tracking. Even if the device was switched off, she could still find a signal. Mable logged into a tracking website and found Spike’s location. The computer displayed an address less than 12 miles from Royal View Villa. It was an area called East Hills. Spike must be frightened from b
Blair’s men conducted a sweeping search within a 2-mile radius of the villa. However, Spike could not be found. Tracey checked on the surveillance. It was strange that Spike was not caught leaving the place. “Why can’t I spot him? I don’t have a back door. Did the little guy crawl out of the hole in the backyard?” Since Mable went missing, Olivia and her daughter moved into Royal View Villa. They did not like 23 and wanted to give it away. Since Tracey did not want the dog to go, she took 23 home with her. The hole in the backyard was for 23.“Did you check the surveillance around?” Blair asked Amos. “I’ve looked but can’t find traces of the kid.” “How is that possible?” Tracey looked at Blair in amazement. “Maybe the boy knows the invisible spell.” Chills crept up her spine. Blair stared upstairs, narrowing his eyes in contemplation for a moment. He jolted up and walked up the stairs. Tracey followed him. Blair stepped into a room and looked around. “Did he go m
Blair released his grip from the pain. “Blair!” “Master Blair!” Tracey and Amos approached and checked his hand. The bite drew blood. “Kid—” Tracey looked up and saw the boy climbing onto the windowsill. “Don’t do anything reckless, boy!” Standing on the windowsill, Spike held onto the frame with one hand and glared at the people in the room with bloodshot eyes. Emotions were running high, and it looked like he was about to jump. Blair clenched his fists. “Get down!” Flushed in the face, Spike shook his head violently and pulled back toward the window. Half of his leg was hanging out at this point. His heart sank, and Blair dared not take another step forward. Tracey was scared to tears. She tried to settle him down with a calm voice, “Don’t do anything reckless, kid. I don’t want you to fall.” Blair stared at Spike with a tense face. Swallowing his anger, he tried to speak in a gentler tone, “Get down from there, Spike.” Spike gave him an angry look. How d
The black Bentley cruised steadily on the road. In the car, Mable looked at the signs outside and said with a frown, “This is not the way to East Hills.” Mable had been living in Richworth for a while, so she was familiar with the nearby roads. She had taken a look at the route around Spike’s location. The road she was currently on was not the way from Royal View Villa to East Hills. With his legs crossed, Anthony nodded indifferently and said in a flat tone, “No. This is the way to my place.“It’s been a while since we met, old friend. Don’t you want to catch up?” Mable scoffed. “I have never been your friend, Anthony.” They were not friends. In fact, they were enemies. Luke killed her grandfather, and Blair cost her a child. Not to mention, there was also the incident six years ago. She held a deep-seated grudge against the Fowlers. Raising a brow, Anthony observed Mable from behind his lens. “That’s hurtful of you to say that. I have been looking for you since you
Next, a dozen men in black jumped out of the car and made their way toward Mable. Struck by a thought, Mable turned to get back into Anthony’s car. She would rather be with Anthony than be captured by Blair again. “If you run, I’ll kill Spike.” The man’s chilling voice came from behind. Mable was stunned. Her reaching hand for the door handle froze. “Don’t you dare!” The men in black cleared a pathway for Blair to approach Mable. He resisted the urge to kill her. “Do you think there’s nothing I won’t do in the world?” While talking, Blair pulled out his phone and tapped on the album. He showed the photo to Mable. Mable’s eyes welled up upon taking a glance. Spike! How was he on the windowsill? It was dangerous. What if he fell? Mable’s heart broke just from looking at a photo. Feeling emotional, she went up to grab Blair’s arm. “Come at me if you have a problem, Blair. Don’t harm Spike.” Blair looked at the tears on Mable’s face, feeling his anger rising.
“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
