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.
Blair took Mable to East Hills, where Tracey lived. Mable got out of the car and saw Spike standing on the windowsill on the second floor. Her breath stifled as she froze. “Spike!” With no time to lose, Mable flung Blair’s arm away and rushed into the villa. Meanwhile, Spike, who had been at a standstill on the windowsill for more than half an hour, heard his mother’s voice. His wary eyes lit up. Here came his mother. He looked down and saw his mother running toward him. It was great that his mother was okay. Spike sniffled and shouted silently, “Mommy!“Mommy!” Just when Spike was looking down, Amos rushed forward inside the room and held tightly onto the boy to pull him off the windowsill. The process only took mere seconds, but Mable broke out in a cold sweat. “Spike!” Startled, Mable ran into the house. “Spike!” Spike heard his mother calling. He broke free from Amos and ran out. Finally, he saw his mother coming up the corridor. Mable hugged Spik
Blair stared at the little guy passed out in Mable’s arms. He loosened his tie irritably, feeling worried about the child. “If anything happens to my son, I will make you pay, Blair!” Mable threatened Blair before carrying Spike away. Blair cursed under his breath and turned to Tracey and Amos, who were in a daze. “What are you standing there for? Bring the car around.” Snapping out of her trace, Tracey went after Mable. Blair kicked the coffee table, trying his best not to lose control of his emotions. A while later, he followed them out. … Tracey drove Mable and Spike to the nearest hospital. The ER doctor examined Spike and concluded he collapsed from exhaustion after a day without food and water.Spike was healthy otherwise. He would be put under an IV drip and needed two days of bed rest to recover. Worried, Mable checked Spike’s pulse and confirmed he was fine. Tracey hung her head low in guilt as she looked at Spike lying in bed. “I’m sorry, Mabes. He was un
The household staff picked up the phone from the floor and handed it to Olivia. “Ms. Page, your phone is ringing.” Olivia pinched Nicki and pushed her away before grabbing the phone. When she saw who was calling, she took her phone and went upstairs right away. “Let me look at you, Nicki. Are you alright?” Heartbroken, a member of the household staff went over to pick Nicki up from the ground. She looked at the child’s arm, which was covered in bruises from all the pinching. “How can your mother be so cruel?” The household staff said as her eyes welled up. Nick rolled down the sleeve to hide her bruises before saying meekly, “I’m okay.” She was used to it anyway. The household staff sighed to herself. The young child was sensible that it broke her heart. … Olivia took her phone to her room before taking the call. “Hello, sir.” “Did Mable return alone?” Anthony’s voice came on the phone. Olivia frowned. “I only saw her in Royal View Villa today.” “Really?
Looking at her son’s pale face, Mable suddenly regretted bringing him to Dorland. Although the days were boring at the castle, at least Spike was safe from danger. Tracey patted Mable’s shoulder and offered comfort. “Don’t worry, Mabes. The doctor said Spike will be okay.” Mable nodded without a word. It was nearly midnight after all the fuss. By then, Spike had received his IV treatment. Tracey stayed with Mable the whole time. She could tell that Mable cared a lot about Spike. Nevertheless, Tracey could not believe Spike was Mable’s son. She had never heard Mable talk about her son before. Tracey looked at Mable, tempted to ask her about Spike a few times. However, with Mable preoccupied with her son, she felt it was not the time. After much thought, Tracey changed the subject and asked, “Where have you been in the last six months, Mabes?” Mable let out a wry smile. “Nowhere. I was sick, and I focused on my recovery.” “Sick?” Struck by a thought, Tracey glance
Mable approached Blair. Her eyes were cold, carrying no other emotions. “Blair, Spike means the world to me. If you ever harm him, I will make you pay.” Spike was her only family left. Even if it required some sacrifice, she would protect Spike.Blair side-eyed Mable, his dark eyes gloomy. “He means the world to you?” Ha. It was only now Blair realized Spike meant a lot to Mable. Blair clutched Mable’s chin and said, “Who are Spike’s parents, Mable?” He’s mine. “Spike is my son.” Faced with Blair’s question, Mable did not think twice to answer. He would have found out sooner or later. She never intended to hide the fact from anybody. Blair pulled a long face and tightened his grip. “Yours?” She mentioned that Spike was a lost child she met at Fasier. She thought the boy was cute, so she took a photo with him. Blair remembered Mable falling asleep from staring at Spike’s photo at night. At the time, he thought it was strange why she adored the child. Now,
“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
