Blair looked at Mable and raised his hand. “Mabes, come here. I have something to tell you.”Mable was startled. She looked at his outstretched hand, feeling repulsed.Tracey tactfully said, “Since you’re okay, I’m going to see Spike. You two can talk.”After saying that, she left the room quickly.Blair’s hand remained outstretched while he looked at Mable with deep eyes.Mable hesitated for a moment before she walked over. “What do you want to say?”Blair held Mable’s hand gently, not daring to use too much force. “Let’s have a wedding ceremony after Spike recovers.”Mable was startled. “A wedding?”Why would Blair want to have a wedding with her?Blair nodded and looked at her with such tenderness. “We’re legally married now that we have our marriage license. All we need is a wedding ceremony.”He wanted a grand wedding to announce to the world that Mable Jefferson was his wife.Mable looked at Blair coldly. “Blair, we’re merely husband and wife on paper. There is no need
Amos said, “After the anniversary banquet, you and Olivia disappeared at the same time. Master Blair searched for your whereabouts, so he did not have time to care about Luke. Moreover, Master Blair suddenly fell ill and went into a coma for more than half a year. When he woke up, he had to solve X Group’s crisis and continued looking for you, so he didn’t have time to deal with Luke.”Amos did not know if Mable would believe him, but he did not want her to continue to misunderstand Blair.Blair and Mable obviously loved each other. It was such a pity they drifted apart because of some misunderstandings.Mable listened to Amos expressionlessly. If what he said was true, then Anthony must have lied to her.“Why was Blair in a coma for half a year?”Mable had heard Tracey mention this before. Tracey said that Blair suddenly became unwell while he was looking for Mable. He vomited blood and fell into a coma. Moreover, he had symptoms of organ failure during the six-month coma.Amos
Spike was not afraid of Blair.Tracey was not used to seeing Spike’s cold and aloof face because he was always so cute in front of her.Blair looked at Spike and said patiently, “Spike, your mother and I are married now, so I am your legal father.”When Spike heard this, he raised his head and looked at Blair coldly. Then, he picked up his tablet and typed, “So you like fathering other men’s children?”Tracey was sitting next to Spike. When she saw him type this, she almost laughed out loud.Spike’s words were, as his name suggested, sharp and jabbing.Blair scoffed when he read it.He thought Spike must be mentally mature to say this at only five years old.Blair said, “Whether you like it or not, I will raise you with your mother. We will be living together.”Spike wrote on the tablet. “Did mommy marry you because it was your condition for donating your hematopoietic stem cells to me?”Blair nodded.Spike took the tablet and typed, “If you threaten my mom to marry you like
The next day, Spike started surgery at 10 a.m.The surgery lasted nearly six hours. After the surgery, Spike was pushed into the intensive care unit.The first 48 hours after the surgery were the most critical. The surgery would only be considered successful if Spike’s body showed no signs of rejection.Fortunately, after 48 hours, everything was normal with Spike. He did not show any signs of rejection. Mable finally felt relieved.Even the doctor found it a bit unbelievable. After all, the donor and the recipient were not related by blood and had a big genetic gap. Logically speaking, there would be some signs of rejection, but Spike’s situation was rare....At night, Mable stayed by the hospital bed and told Spike a bedtime story.Spike had been feeling much better in the past two days. He would not fall asleep right after taking his medicine, like before the surgery. His condition was improving slowly.Mable no longer felt so anxious now that she knew Spike would recover a
Amos said that Blair had personally designed Mable’s wedding dress and the layout of the wedding venue by himself. He even selected the music to be played at the wedding venue.Blair took care of everything, no matter how menial it seemed. He even considered what clothes Spike would wear and how he should introduce the boy to the public.However, the more enthusiastic Blair was, the more uncomfortable Mable felt.Mable looked at Blair and finally had the courage to say what she had been keeping to herself for the past few days. “If you really want to compensate me, just let me go.”Blair stared intently at Mable. He held her hand and gently massaged her joints. He said softly, “Let you go? Mabes, are you going back on your promise?”Spike was safe. So, why was Mable going back on her word?“I can return all of X’s territory in Fasier to you. Not only that, I can even promise you an offshore oil exploration base as the second-in-command of Secret. How about that?”Although doing
“Do you know what I went through that day? I was in so much pain. I tried desperately to escape, but it was useless… That man raped me, and I got pregnant.”Although Mable wanted to forget it, what happened that day always gave her nightmares, reminding her over and over again.Mable recalled that dark past with eyes filled with fear and hatred. Tears overflowed from her eyes.She was helpless, in pain and despair.Blair stared at Mable in shock. He felt like his heart was bitten by countless bugs. It was so painful that he could not breathe.He thought that Mable wanted to tell him about her first love.He thought Mable would tell him how much she loved Spike’s father.He thought...Before Mable spoke, he had many thoughts going through his mind. He had not expected her to talk to him about this.As Blair hugged Mable tightly with his trembling arms, his eyes filled with murderous intent.His beloved Mable had suffered this kind of pain.If he had known her earlier and take
Mable wondered if she really was that important to Blair.Mable stared at him calmly. “Blair, do you love me that much?”“Yes!”Mable asked, “Then which one is more important—your love for me or your gratitude to Olivia?”Blair frowned and stared at the woman in front of him without evading. “Mabes, there’s nothing to compare. If you insist on me choosing between the two of you, I can clearly say that you’re the most important person to me. You outweigh Olivia and even myself!”Mable listened to his words, unsure of how to respond.Could she still believe him?After a while, Mable lowered her eyes and asked in a steady tone, “In that case, when Olivia and I were kidnapped, Aust called you and asked you to choose which one of us to save. Why did you choose Olivia without hesitation?”Blair was startled. “What did you say?”When did Aust call him?Blair looked at Mable solemnly. “Mabes, are you sure he called me? I never received a call from Aust when he kidnapped you!”Forget
After hearing what Mable said, Blair fell silent.At the same time, he remembered this incident.After Blair caught Frank, Frank offered Blair Liv’s whereabouts in exchange for Mable’s life.Blair agreed to it at the time.Blair looked at Mable and said, “That recording is real. I did agree to Frank’s request.”Mable’s eyes flickered, and she sneered. At least he admitted it.Before Mable could speak, Blair continued, “But I didn’t plan to execute it.”Blair explained, “After agreeing to Frank’s request, I asked Amos to get someone who looked similar to you to fake your death in front of Frank. However, before I could arrange everything, Rory kidnapped Frank.”Mable was stunned to hear this. “You planned to do this?”Blair said, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Amos and Arthur. Only they know about this.”He only told the two of them.Blair called out to Amos, who was at the door.“Master Blair.” Amos opened the door and walked in.Blair said, “When I caught Frank las
“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
