Before Mable could finish her follow-up questions, Amos quickly interjected, "Master Blair sat in the hospital room all night. He had a high fever and is currently asleep."Mable's eyes welled up with tears upon hearing this. "He was perfectly fine when I left last night. How did this happen?"Amos proceeded to tell her about last night. Master Blair had asked him to check the surveillance."Madam, you misunderstood Master Blair. The things he said to Marissa were meant to lower her guard. He didn't want Spike to die. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have risked his life to rescue Spike and took a bullet in the process. Do you know how badly Master Blair was hurt? He-"Amos could not continue after looking at Mable, whose eyes were filled with tears.Mable bit her lip, overwhelmed with guilt. "Arthur told me about what had happened. It's my fault; I shouldn't have misunderstood him."He must have been very upset when she left last night.Amos handed Mable a tissue, feeling helpless. "Mada
Mable held Blair's hand. She was about to speak when he suddenly pulled his hand away. It was unexpected of him, and she stumbled back, causing the cup in her hand to slip and shatter on the floor. Mable froze. Her heart sank as she stared in shock at the broken cup.Oh no! Blair seemed like he was genuinely angry with her.Blair's eyes flickered briefly, and he ignored her.“I’m sorry. Please don’t be angry with me. I was wrong to misunderstand you," Mable pleaded as she reached out to hold Blair's hand again. She held tighter on to his hand, refusing to let go when he tried to pull away.Her voice trembled as if she was about to cry. " Can you forgive me, please? I promise I won’t do it again."Blair continued to stare at Mable with unfathomable eyes. His expression was cold, and he did not say a word.Mable felt even more guilty and uncertain. She hesitated for a few seconds and gathered the courage to call him. "Darling—""Let go!" Blair uttered two icy words.Mable's
Despite her fierce appearance, Tracey’s eyes were filled with concern. She was genuinely worried about his injury. Blair touched his forehead. His expression softened slightly as he said, "I'm feeling better."He turned his gaze to Arthur, who had been silent since entering the room. "How are things, Arthur?"Arthur walked over to the bedside and spoke, "Master Blair, Marissa has been restrained by Mr. Rowland. Mr. Song asked if you wanted to bring her back or?"A hint of coldness flashed in his dark eyes. "Deal with her directly. There’s no need to bring her back here."Marissa was a troublemaker who deserved to die long ago."Understood.""Is there any news from Kyle?" Blair inquired.He had instructed Kyle to capture Anthony. However, Anthony had escaped, and Blair wanted to know about the current situation. Arthur replied, "There’s no news at the moment."Blair picked up his phone, intending to call Kyle.However, Tracey snatched his phone away the next moment."You
Zoe put down her wine glass and moved closer to him. She wrapped her arms around his waist, and her voice was flirtatious as she said, "Kyle, I've missed you."Kyle raised an eyebrow and playfully pinched her chin. "Miss me? Or do you want to kill me?""Neither," Zoe replied, her face radiating a seductive smile. She kicked off her slippers and used her foot to caress his calf. "I missed you."Zoe's boldness took him aback, and his eyes flickered with surprise.He could not help but wonder if she was pretending. When did she become so bold? She rarely teased or flirted with him when they were together."You miss me?" Kyle stared at Zoe with growing interest.Zoe nodded slightly and used her fingers to draw on his chest seductively. "Yes, I've missed sleeping with you."Kyle listened to Zoe's words, amused. He knew she had a motive for seeking him out."I see," Kyle replied with a smirk.Kyle hugged Zoe’s waist and gently caressed her back. She was not wearing anything in h
Zoe panted lightly. "Enough."Kyle stared at her, his voice ice cold. "Are you still going to find someone else?"His tone was filled with jealousy and reluctance, but he did not realize it.Zoe stared back at Kyle without saying a word. She wondered if she had been deceived. Why had he not succumbed after kissing her for a long time?Kyle gently stroked Zoe's hair as if reminiscing. "Long hair is more comfortable to touch—"Kyle suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed before finishing his sentence, ultimately losing strength.Zoe's eyes lit up upon witnessing this. She pushed Kyle off herself, who had fallen on top of her from the sofa."You bastard! You rotten man, go to hell!"Zoe stood up, picked up a pillow and hurled it at Kyle while rubbing her swollen lips with the back of her hand. She regretted following Adam's terrible advice to attempt to seduce Kyle. It would have been much easier to drug his food instead of applying aphrodisiacs to her lips."You…" Kyle struggled t
Mable sat down on the chair again after Amos left. She planned to check on Blair quietly once he had fallen asleep.The corridor was quiet, with Blair as the only patient on the VIP floor.Mable sat on the chair with her mind racing. She thought about what Marissa had said when she kidnapped Spike. Why had Marissa adamantly claimed Mable was not part of the Jeffersons? She said that Mable was just an abandoned baby found by her parents. Could it be true when she claimed her grandfather's safe contained a document that revealed Mable’s real identity?The more Mable thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. Marissa did not need a reason to fabricate her identity. What would be her identity if Marissa had not lied?Mable became more anxious as she continued to wonder.She picked up her phone and dialed Arthur's number.At that moment, Arthur was on a date with Tracey. They had finished dinner and were planning to go to a movie. He was surprised to receive Mable's
Mable stared at Marissa through the video call and asked, "What you told me on the phone that day, was it all a lie?""Hehe…" Marissa fixed her gaze on Mable through the video. Her face twisted into a malicious smile. "A lie? Do you think I'm making things up? Let me make myself clear. Every word I said was true. You're not your parents' biological daughter. You're just an abandoned baby they found!"Mable gripped her phone tightly as her expression turned increasingly grim. "You're lying! I don't believe it!"If her parents found her, why did her grandfather groom her as the heir to the family? It did not make any sense."This woman must be crazy!" Solomon looked at Mable, clearly not believing Marissa’s words either.Marissa did not seem bothered and continued to smile. "I have evidence. Besides, the secrets in your grandfather's safe are not limited to this. Your parents might have died in a plane crash, but there are no such things as accidents in our world. Hehehe."Mable'
Mable's heart ached as Blair gave her the cold shoulder. She gripped his hand even tighter."I'm sorry, Blair. I thought you—"Blair interrupted Mable, "You thought I was going to kill Spike?"Mable swallowed her words and apologized, "I'm sorry."Blair stared at Mable briefly and then said, “How can we walk hand in hand through the next few decades if you don’t trust me?"She raised her head and stared blankly at Blair. His face appeared blurry under the dim light. His unfathomable black eyes were fixed on her, shrouded in a layer of coldness.Mable knew he had a point. Trust was essential between husband and wife.Suspicion and doubt could fracture even the strongest bond.Mable recalled the misunderstandings they had experienced, all stemming from their lack of trust in each other. She wanted to avoid repeating those mistakes.Mable buried her face in Blair's chest, avoiding eye contact. "I'm sorry, Blair. I promise I won't doubt you anymore.”Mable felt a mixture of s
“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
