Arthur had lost to Tracey. He could not just watch her get together with another man.Just the thought of her kissing someone else drove him crazy with jealousy and made him feel like killing someone.“Tracey…”Tracey finally managed to push him away, tears streaming down her face. “Bastard! Who said you could kiss me? What right do you have?”She cried while kicking him as hard as she could.Arthur stood there unmoving, allowing her to vent her anger.As Tracey vented her feelings, she got more distressed the more she cried. “Didn’t you leave? Why did you follow me then? I’m telling you, Arthur Marshall—even if I’m unchaste, you don’t have the right to force yourself on me!”She was wearing heels and almost fell accidentally.Arthur hurriedly caught her, pulling her into his arms while he was at it. “I’m sorry, Tracey. I shouldn’t have said that.”He knew she was not like that. He must have misunderstood the situation earlier and regretted it immediately after he said those
Surprised, Arthur recalled what happened earlier. “Then, what happened earlier…”“I called you earlier deliberately to provoke you. It was only Henry and I there, but Howard happened to be having a meeting at the hotel, too. When he found out we were there, he came over to greet us. Soon after that, you arrived.”Realization dawned on Arthur. So that was what happened.He thought Tracey had already gotten together with Henry.Arthur suddenly thought of something and asked, “What about the photo then?”Tracey was confused. “What photo?”Arthur took out his phone, pulled up her social media, and displayed the photo she posted earlier.“This one!”Tracey took a look. It was the photo of her kissing Henry. She suddenly felt a little guilty. “I-I only did that to provoke you. I wanted to see how you would react to seeing me being so intimate with Henry.”Arthur held his forehead and looked at her sternly. “Tracey, do you know how angry I was when I saw this photo?!”He had indeed
It was hard for Tracey to fall asleep, and she only managed to do so just before dawn. By the time she woke up, it was almost noon.She hurriedly got up, running downstairs without even putting slippers on.Then, she heard the sound of someone cutting vegetables in the kitchen.Tracey walked over for a look and found Arthur cutting carrots, wearing a black shirt and her pink lace apron.She was stunned for a moment, joy lighting up her face.“You’re awake.”At the sound of movement, Arthur turned to look at Tracey. When he saw she was not wearing slippers, he immediately frowned. “Why aren’t you wearing your slippers?”Tracey felt a little embarrassed as she looked at her bare feet. “I forgot.”Arthur put down the knife and wiped his hands before walking towards her.“I’ll go—”Tracey was about to say she would go back to her room to put her slippers on but was cut off when Arthur picked her up in a princess carry.She blushed and touched Arthur’s face. It felt very real.
When Blair heard what Arthur said, Blair looked up and gazed coldly at Arthur.“What did you just say, Arthur?”Arthur did not raise his head and repeated himself. “Master Blair, I’m in love with Miss Tracey.”“But I remember you saying you already had someone you loved.”Although Tracey and Blair were only half-siblings, they had a good relationship since childhood, and Tracey talked to Blair about pretty much everything.The moment she fell for Arthur, she had told Blair about it.Later on, when Tracey was rejected after confessing her feelings, and Blair found out about it, he asked Arthur about the reason for it. Arthur said he liked someone else.Arthur said, “I’m sorry. I lied to you and Tracey.”That girl he met overseas and liked had not existed at all. It had been an excuse he made up to reject Tracey.Blair looked at Arthur with slightly raised eyebrows. He asked, “Since you like her, why did you reject her time and time again?”Arthur was silent for a moment. “…I f
It was just that…Blair recalled what had happened in the past two days, and an uneasy air overtook him.Right then, Solomon called.Blair stared at the ringing phone for half a beat before gathering the courage to pick up.“Hey.”Solomon’s voice came from the phone. “Where are you, Master Blair?”Blair replied, “At work.”“I’ve just gotten off the plane. Wait for me there. I’ll arrive in around twenty minutes.”The situation was too complicated, and Solomon had to speak to Blair face to face.“Alright.”Blair hung up, his gaze once again returning to the photo of Mable.Twenty minutes later.The moment Solomon got to the company, he headed straight for Blair’s office, not forgetting to instruct Amos to watch the door and not let anyone disturb him and Master Blair.“Master Blair, the matter you asked me to look into has yielded results.”Solomon was holding a brown document folder with a serious expression as he looked at Blair.After getting off the call with Blair tha
Solomon was smart. When he received Blair’s call that day, he already noticed something was wrong.Once he found out Mable had been kidnapped by Aust back then, he had a bad feeling in his heart.Following that, when he found out Mable had been brought to Aust’s camp and that she escaped after two days…Coupled with the time she escaped coincided with the time Master Blair had been captured…What Mable and Master Blair went through six years ago…As well as Spike’s age and how he looked so much like Master Blair…All of the dots started to connect.Solomon guessed that Master Blair must have noticed the connection between Mable and Liv, which was why he called him that day to get him to investigate it immediately. Even so, Solomon did not dare believe his own guess.How could such a coincidence be possible?!As Blair looked at the document in his hand, his dark eyes were like windows to the abyss, bottomless.It was an outcome he had already anticipated.Blair closed the d
The man Mable deeply loved in the end was actually the person who had hurt her the most.Blair clenched his fists tightly, his heart twisting in pain.Solomon looked at Blair. He had known him for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen him with such a pained and tormented expression. His whole body was trembling.“Master Blair…” Solomon hesitated.In a few days, it would be Blair and Mable’s wedding.Considering Mable's personality, if she knew the truth, even if she did not murder Master Blair outright, she would no longer stay with him.Blair took a deep breath, trying to calm his chaotic emotions.“Solomon, I’m a selfish person. I just want her to be happy and carefree forever.”Solomon raked a hand through his hair. “Why don’t we just keep this from Mable? Don’t worry, I’ll keep my mouth shut.”This was such an important matter. If Master Blair chose not to tell Mable, he would take this secret to the grave.Blair just looked silently at the documents on h
“What’s the good news?” Blair asked.In fact, he had already guessed what Mable was about to say.“Tracey and Arthur are together now! It turns out she’s been getting so close to Henry lately to provoke Arthur. Ha! Here I was, thinking she had already gotten over Arthur. You don’t know how excited she was when she came back this afternoon to tell me about how Arthur confessed to her last night. I’m so happy for her.”Blair heard Mable’s excitement in her voice and smiled. “Yeah, Arthur already told me when he came by the office earlier. I’m really happy for them, too.”Mable said, “So you already knew.”“Mabes,” Blair called.“Hmm? What’s the matter?”Blair stared at the documents before him. After a moment of silence, he said, “It’s nothing. Just stay at home and wait for me to get off work. I’ll bring back some good food for you and Spike tonight.”“Okay.”On the other end of the call, Mable paused, smiled, then added, “Thank you, darling.”Blair’s lips curled into a smile,
“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
