“Clink!” The wine glasses tinkled with a pleasant and resonant sound.Mable stared at Blair and smiled. She said cheekily, “I leave the rest of my life in your hands, Mr. Fowler.” Blair responded tenderly, “I leave the rest of my life in your hands, Mrs. Fowler.” The flickering candlelight and intoxicating wine created an atmosphere of warmth and romance.After dinner, Blair lit the candles on the birthday cake and looked at Mable. “Make a wish, Mabes.” Mable felt warm and cozy inside when she saw the words written on the cake. He wrote, “Happy birthday to my wife, Mabes.” She closed her eyes and pressed her palms together while making a wish. Blair stared at Mable affectionately. If possible, he wanted time to stop in that perfect moment forever. A while later, Mable opened her eyes and blew out the candles. Blair held her and kissed her lips. “Happy birthday, Mabes.” “What did you wish for?” Blair asked. Mable blinked with a smile. “It won’t come true if I tel
Rory must be furious since she missed his calls three times. If she did not return his calls, the guy might drop by to see her. Mable had a headache just thinking about it. She quickly called his number. The call connected after the sixth ring. “Hello, Rory?” Mable said. Rory’s aloof voice came on the line. “I can’t believe you didn’t take my calls, Mable!” Mable explained, “I was out. My phone was charging in the bedroom. I didn’t miss your calls on purpose.” Rory scoffed, and it was hard to tell whether he believed her reason. Mable paused and asked cautiously, “Why did you call me?” “Mabes.” Rory’s voice was flat. “Happy birthday.” Mable was dumbfounded. Did he call just to wish her a happy birthday? “Thank you.” Mable was relieved. “What do you want for your birthday?” Rory asked. Mable cringed as she recalled the thousand roses Rory had gifted her on her last birthday.The guy was avant-garde on the gift-giving front, and Mable was not sure she was up fo
Mable held her phone, her expression turning solemn as she listened to Rory’s roar from the receiver.“I didn’t forget, Rory, but those things are in the past. The person who hurt me isn’t Blair. I’m happy now.”Blair looked at Mable, his heart skipping a beat.The words ‘the person who hurt me isn’t Blair’ pierced his heart like a knife.‘Mabes, I’m the one who hurt you the deepest, but I truly do love you.’Mable did not notice Blair’s change in expression. She held her phone and said to Rory, “Maybe you think I’m being foolish, but Rory, someday, when you meet someone you truly love, you’ll understand me.”Rory immediately said, “No, I’m not as foolish as you!”Mable laughed. “Don’t be so sure about that.”Rory paused and asked, “Mable, I’ll ask you one last time. Are you determined to be with Blair?”Mable looked down at the ring on her ring finger and said, “Yes, we’re already married.”After another long silence, Rory finally spoke.“In that case, leave Secret.”Mable
“Okay, we’ll leave tomorrow.”Blair picked up his phone and sent a message for someone to arrange a plane....Meanwhile, in Italee.Rory sat by the French window, a stack of documents scattered on the table in front of him.He squeezed the phone in his hand, his gaze looking into the distance through the window.A gust of wind blew in, scattering the documents on the table.Adam walked over and bent down to pick up the scattered files. He looked at Rory and asked, “Why didn’t you tell Mable?”Rory glanced at Adam. “Tell her what?”Adam looked at the papers in his hands, hesitant to speak.Rory sneered and tossed the phone on the table. “She loves Blair, doesn’t she? I want to see how great their love is.”“The Mullers will find out sooner or later. They won’t let...”“She chose this path, so how she goes about it is her business.” Rory stood up and looked into the distance, his expression extremely dark.Adam fell silent, furrowing his brows.“Go prepare. We’ll leave for
Blair looked at Mable and silently tightened his grip on her hand.Rory saved Mable and Spike before. With just that, Blair’s attitude toward Secret was not as ruthless as before.As long as Rory did not provoke trouble, Blair would not take the initiative against him.“Mable, if Rory goes against Blair one day, who will you help?” Rahman asked.Mable was at a loss.If possible, she hoped that such a day would never come.She said to Rahman on the phone, “If that day comes, I’ll help my husband.”Blair looked at Mable. “Mabes, if such a day really comes, you won’t need to make a choice. I won’t put you in a difficult spot.”Rahman clicked his tongue. “Remember your words, Blair. Don’t put Mable in a hard spot.”Blair said, “I know.”Rahman paused, then remembered something and said with a smirk, “I just got some insider information. Today, members of the Monafett Congress received a large shipment of smuggled weapons and drugs from Black C’s territory. They said it was a tip-
Blair nodded. “Mabes, I promise you I won’t cause trouble for Rory, but the condition is that he has to stay in his lane too.”Mable said, “I’ll talk to him when we reach the castle.”Soon, the plane took off.It would take seven to eight hours to fly from Bay Island to Fasier, and there was another flight transfer upon arriving at Fasier.By the time they reached Linders City, it was already 5:30 PM local time.The castle was in the suburbs and at least a two to three hour drive from the city. Thus, that evening, Blair and Mable decided to stay in a hotel and visit the castle the next morning.Not long after they checked into the hotel, Amos and Arthur arrived.Blair did not let them follow when Mable and he went to Bay Island. He only informed them after confirming that they were coming to Fasier.Mable was also tired after a whole day on the plane. After dinner, she went back to the bedroom to rest early.Blair called Arthur and Amos to the study.“How is Black C doing?” h
Mable looked up at Blair and saw his frown, thinking he was jealous because of Spike’s words.Thus, she comforted him with a smile, “Don’t be jealous, Darling. Spike doesn’t miss you, but I do.”Then, she made a heart shape with her hands.Blair smiled with his eyes and sat beside her.Mable looked at Spike on the screen and said, “Baby, go and practice now. Mommy and Uncle Blair are going to sleep.”Spike nodded obediently and mouthed, “Bye-bye, Mommy.”“Bye-bye, baby.”Mable hung up the phone, and Blair hugged her.“Mabes, I’ll treat Spike as my own son.”His expression was full of fatherly affection as he recalled Spike’s face.After all, Spike was his biological son.Mable looked up at him. “Thank you, Blair.”She knew very well that she would never be able to conceive again unless a miracle happened.They would never have a child of their own.At that thought, Mable felt slightly disappointed.Blair sensed her emotions and patted her back gently with his warm hand,
Mable smiled and patted Adam’s shoulder. “It’s good that you know.”Adam looked at her and hesitated, but in the end, he did not say anything.Mable walked into the study and saw Rory sitting in front of the computer, typing away on the keyboard, looking busy.He raised his head at the sound of movement, and his gaze fell heavily on Mable. “You’re here.”Mable nodded and walked over to sit across from him. “Are you busy?”“I’m almost done.”Rory closed the laptop in front of him, leaned back, and looked at Mable lazily. “It’s been three months, but you seem in better spirits than when you left.”Mable touched her face. “Maybe it’s because my mood is better, so my complexion has improved.”Rory looked at the diamond ring on Mable’s ring finger and clicked his tongue. “The wedding ring is quite shiny.”Mable’s lips twitched as she lowered her hand.Rory propped his chin up, saying slowly, “If I didn’t ask you, were you never going to tell me about your remarriage with Blair?”
