“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,
Mable was exasperated. “Blair’s my husband. If Spike doesn’t take his surname, whose is he supposed to take? Yours?”Rahman replied, “He can take my surname. I don’t mind.”Mable retorted without hesitation, “I do!”Rahman was speechless.After chatting more with Rahman, Mable ended the call when she saw it was getting late.She headed to the bathroom to wash up.As she showered, she inadvertently saw that the pattern on her back seemed to have grown bigger.After Blair brought back the CT scan report previously, she looked at it carefully and found no problems. Since Blair said the doctor had also said there was no problem, she did not pay too much attention to it.After getting out of the shower, Mable lay on the wide bed, struggling to fall asleep.Recalling everything she and Blair had gone through, Mable was full of emotion.The first time she married Blair, she had nothing but that marriage license.Now, becoming his wife this second time, it was as if he was trying to
“That’s a big gift. How generous of you, darling.” Mable’s chuckles came from the other end of the line. Blair stared at Mable on the balcony. “Do you accept the gift?” “Duh! Of course, I will!” Mable said in a serious tone, “You’re mine from now on.” Blair replied, “It’s my honor.” ‘The luckiest thing that ever happened to me is meeting you, Mabes. ‘I’m honored to be loved by you.’“Are you outside the villa?” Mable suddenly asked. She saw the car parked outside the residence. Blair responded, “Yeah.” Mable waved in the direction of the vehicle. “Why aren’t you coming inside?”He pulled up outside the villa, refusing to get out of the car and go inside. “The bride and groom aren’t supposed to be the day before the wedding.” He was glad to just watch her from afar. On the other end, Mable was amused as Blair did not strike her as the superstitious type. She said, “We’ll meet in a few hours.” Blair replied dotingly, “Yeah. Get some rest. I can’t wait to se
“Black lilies!” Dumbstruck, Solomon grimaced and cursed, “What kind of prank is this? I can’t believe someone would send you that!” Kyle got an uneasy feeling just looking at the sinister black lilies. The symbolism of black lilies stood in stark contrast to that of white lilies.Black lilies represented death and a life of solitude. Blair stared at them, hiding his emotions behind his eyes. His expression was unreadable. He pulled out the paper under the bouquet and unfolded it. The contents of the letter drained color from his face and filled him with dread. Kyle and Solomon exchanged glances and approached Blair, reading the paper in his hand. “It’s a DNA test report.” Solomon was shocked. The report stated that the DNA samples belonged to Spike and Blair. The outcome showed that Blair was the biological father of Spike. Kyle looked angrily at the test results in Blair’s hand. “That must be a prank. How could Spike be your son—” Solomon took Kyle’s hand and
By the outdoor pool of a secluded villa in Monafett, a man in a bathrobe lounged on a beach chair, savoring a drink.On a phone call, the man chuckled. “Don’t test me, Blair. I will make it happen.” Anthony put down his drink and added impatiently, “I’m not in a rush for an answer. Just take your time. The decision is in your hands.” He then terminated the call. Anthony threw his phone onto the table and finished his drink in one gulp before chuckling away. He shook his head and mumbled to himself indifferently, “Such a shame.”Robert, who was with Anthony, asked in confusion, “What’s a shame, boss?” Anthony glanced at him in a good mood. “It’s a shame I can’t see the look on Blair’s face right now.” He had outsmarted Blair for once, so he wished he could be there to see Blair’s face. Anthony bet Blair had a colorful expression. Robert hesitated for a moment before asking, “Do you think Blair will call off the wedding, boss?” “He will!” Anthony would put his money
The moment Marissa returned to her room, she swept the glass from the table in a fit of fury, shattering it against the floor.Anthony sure thought he was all that to speak to her in such a manner. If she was Stephen’s passing fling, then what was he? Stephen’s godson? Ha! Since Anthony was not Stephen's biological son, Marissa doubted he held much significance to Stephen.Marissa vowed to give Anthony hell one of these days. Her bodyguard, Charlie, entered the room and glanced at the shattered glass on the ground. He said, “Why don’t you give Stephen a call, madam? He can call Master Anthony for a chat.” Marissa took a seat on the sofa and replied, “Do you think I don’t want to? I can’t contact Stephen because he’s busy right now.” Charlie frowned without a word. Marissa was furious at the thought that Mable was about to marry Blair. “Mable is a bitch. I will get my payback when I return to Ashdale and reclaim power over the family.” She had not forgotten about Bl
The next morning, all invited guests to Blair’s and Mable’s wedding received a cancellation notice at 8:00 AM. The whole of Richworth, including the paparazzi, looked forward to the wedding of the century, so people were shocked that the wedding was called off. Many speculated the reason for the cancellation. Paparazzi even waited outside Mair Manor, hoping to get firsthand information. The manor, which was supposed to be bustling with activity, stood eerily silent. Only maids and bodyguards remained there. The sun rose over the estate. Despite the romantic wedding décor adorning the manor, the air was filled with desolation. …Meanwhile, Mable was half-asleep thousands of miles in the air when she felt something over her eyes. It was a sleeping mask. She had no recollection of putting on a sleeping mask when she went to bed. Not thinking much about it, Mable pulled the sleeping mask away and was dumbfounded. Um… Where was she? “You’re up.” Hearing the noise, the
Mable hugged Blair by the neck and kissed him. “Thank you, darling.” “Mabes!” Blair held Mable tight as guilt consumed him. “But—” Mable looked at him and blinked. “I hope Tracey and the others won’t be mad that we elope. Did you tell Spike? He will be worried if he doesn’t see us in the morning.“One more thing. We invited many people to our wedding. What if they find the bride and groom missing at Mair Manor?” “Don’t worry. Trace and the others won’t be mad. She will explain to Spike. As for the guests, I have notified them. Relax.” Mabel nodded. She knew Blair would get his ducks in a row. There was nothing she should worry about. After freshening up on the flight, Mable had breakfast. She then put on makeup and changed her clothes. Blair took her wedding dress on the flight, too. Sitting next to Mable, Blair gleefully watched the woman apply blush to her cheeks. He lifted the lipstick from the vanity set and deftly unscrewed the cap. “I’ll apply the lipstic
