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
Mable said, “It was not until a few months ago that I discovered Spike’s existence. Paul hypnotized me again to remind me of my past. Although I hate that rapist, I’m still thankful for Spike’s birth. He’s my son, no matter what.“Spike is so sensible and well-behaved, just like a little angel. Every time I see him, my heart just feels warm. He heals me.”Perhaps because Mable lost her child with Blair, she cherished Spike even more.Blair comforted Mable. “Mabes, I won’t mind as long as you recognize Spike. We are already married, so he is my son now. I will try my best to be a good father.”Mable stared at him, too moved to speak.If it were not for those misunderstandings between them, they might have had a happy life together.Blair comforted Mable in distress. He had a strong murderous intent hidden deep in his eyes as he said word by word, “Mabes, I will find that monster and kill him with my own hands!”“Okay.”Mable and Rory had not found that rapist after searching for
“Ah... Blair… Don’t... Slow down... Mmm... Do you love me?”“Liv, you’re mine… I love you…”“Then why did you marry Mable? I don’t want you to marry another woman…”“I married her just to get Jefferson Enterprise…”“Mmm… Ah… Blair…”Mable held the phone and listened to the unpleasant sounds with a pale face.The other party seemed afraid that Mable would not be able to tell who the voice belonged to, so she called out Blair’s name over and over again.What followed was so straightforward that Mable felt like vomiting.Mable hung up the phone. Her face turned pale.“Madam, what’s wrong?”Grace saw the dramatic change in Mable’s expression. Mable’s hands were resting on the table, and her breathing was unsteady. So, Grace quickly stepped forward and helped Mable sit on the sofa.“Who called? Did something happen?”Mable said nothing. She clenched the phone tightly until her fingertips trembled.“Mabes!”Tracey pushed the door open and came in. She was stunned when she saw M
“Yeah.” Mable opened the door to the changing room.Tracey walked in, closed the door, and explained while helping Mable untie the belt on her back. “Mabes, don’t be angry. Amos said that Olivia attempted suicide by cutting her wrists. I don’t know what’s going on. She’s Nicki’s mother and my brother’s savior, so my brother won’t just leave her be…”Tracey guessed that Olivia must have deliberately staged this scene to win Blair’s sympathy. Otherwise, why would she slit her wrists out of the blue?Mable paused for a moment. She sneered. “Olivia cut her wrists?”Olivia was screaming in ecstasy over the phone just now. How did she suddenly slit her wrists?Tracey nodded before saying seriously, “Otherwise, my brother wouldn’t stand you up to see her. Mabes, you need to have faith in my brother. He knows Olivia is just his savior and won’t ever do wrong by you.”Mable said nothing, took off her dress, and prepared to put on her own clothes.“Mabes…”Tracey wanted to say something
As soon as Olivia saw Blair, she threw herself into his arms and cried loudly. “Blair, I’m so scared... Don’t leave... I’m so scared to go back to that place again. It’s like hell… I’m so scared!”Blair frowned tightly and patted her shoulder to comfort her. “Don’t be scared. Those things are in the past. You’re safe now. No one will hurt you or send you there.”Olivia grabbed his hand. “Blair, you won’t leave me, right? I have nothing left, only you... Don’t leave…”“Mm.”Olivia lost too much blood. She was weak and fainted again.After another round of treatment, the doctor looked at Blair, who was standing beside the hospital bed, and said, “Master Blair, if it’s convenient for you, can you stay with Ms. Page tonight? She’s still in critical condition. Her mood is very unstable. If she wakes up and can’t see you, she may refuse treatment like before…”Blair had no choice but to nod.At this time, Amos came in with Blair’s phone that he had left in the car.“Master Blair, Ms.
Mable was speechless....Blair stayed with Olivia at Oakshire Estate all night. In the morning, when Olivia’s condition improved, Blair left the villa and went to the hospital.He called Mable repeatedly last night but could not get through to her. He guessed she must have blocked his number.Along the way, Blair looked at his phone anxiously.He could not contact Mable for a whole day, and Mable had not taken the initiative to contact him, not even a message.Blair panicked.They finally explained those misunderstandings, and their relationship was at a turning point. Would Mable misunderstand that he had feelings for Liv because of this incident?When he arrived at the hospital, Blair went straight to Spike’s ward.Normally, Mable would be in Spike’s ward at this time. However, today, only Hugh was in the ward.“Hugh, where did Mable go?”Hugh did not like Blair and always scowled at him. His tone was not great, either, as he said, “I don’t know!”Hugh thought, ‘Why shou
“Blair!”Rahman’s eyes widened. ‘Why is this guy here?’Blair looked murderous, as if he were here to catch his wife having an affair with another man.Mable heard Rahman’s voice and looked back to see Blair.“Blair, why are you here?”Blair quickly walked to Mable. His expression turned glum, and his body was exuding a chill.“Why not? Was I supposed to watch you fly off with him?!”Mable was puzzled.When was she going to fly off with Rahman?Rahman was speechless.The corner of Rahman’s mouth twitched. She looked at Blair like he was an idiot.Blair took Mable’s hand. His eyes were so cold that they were about to freeze over. “Mable, who do you think I am? How can you kick me to the curb after using me? Don’t forget. We’re married now! You’re my wife!”Mable was confused. She did not know what was wrong with Blair today.Blair had not called her since yesterday and did not even send her a text. It was as if he did not care whether she might misunderstand him.Yet, ther
“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
