‘That must be it!’ Beatrice fantasized and smiled brighter. “Mable, believe it or not, Blair will kick you out if I tell him to!” Mable looked faintly at her as if she was looking at a retard. “Try it then!” Soon, Blair adjourned the meeting and returned to his office. He had obviously not expected Mable to come. He froze for a moment and then frowned. Mable noticed his expression, and her heart ached for no reason. She figured he was probably still angry about last night. Mable stood up. Before she could say anything, Blair pointed at the door and said coldly, “Get out!” Mable was stunned. On the other hand, Beatrice was overjoyed. She had not said anything, but Blair already asked Mable to go out. It seemed like he had gotten sick of her. ‘This is great!’ Beatrice thought to herself. Mable stared at Blair’s cold eyes and pursed her lips. Beatrice won! Though Mable could not compare to Liv, even Beatrice was more important to Blair. She suddenly felt ri
Beatrice listened to her dad yell, and her body turned cold. Her legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground with a thud. “Blair, I’m so sorry… I’m sorry, I was wrong…” Blair did not give her a chance to plead for mercy. He directly dialed the intercom and had security take her away. Afterward, Amos walked in. “Master Blair, Ms. Jefferson left.” As Blair ran out, Mable entered the elevator. He frowned and picked up his phone to call her. However, he was redirected to the voicemail as she was on a call. … Mable left Fowler Enterprise and called Ethan to meet up. Ethan handed her a folder when she arrived at the agreed-upon cafe. “I made a fake blood test report of a healthy person and switched yours with it. No one noticed.” Mable took the document. “Thanks.” “You’re welcome.” Ethan adjusted his glasses and looked at the document in her hand. “Professor Jefferson, I looked at your report when I switched it.” Mable knew he would definitely have seen the conten
Rahman yawned. “What’s so urgent?” Mable told him briefly about the matter. Rahman fell silent after hearing what she said. He sounded serious as he said, “I don’t know anything about this. I didn’t do it!” Mable frowned. Who could it be if it was not Rahman? “Mabes, didn’t you say last time that that thing hasn’t flared up in two years? Why did it flare up so badly this time?” Compared to whoever switched her blood test report, he was more concerned about Mable’s condition. Mable pinched the spot between her eyebrows. “Maybe I’ve been too tired lately.” She also could not figure out why it suddenly reappeared last night. Moreover, it was so violent, leaving her completely defenseless. Rahman said, “Mabes, you must learn to control your emotions.” The attack was largely related to one’s emotions. The greater one’s mood swings, the easier it was for an attack to happen. “Mm.” Mable paused and asked. “Any news on Frank?” “We’re still checking, but there’s no n
It was Luke who called, asking Blair to go home immediately. “Let’s just talk on the phone.” After all, Blair did not want to go back. Ever since his grandpa passed away, he only returned to the Fowler Residence during Christmas. Just like Mable, he did not have a good feeling about that place. “Did you break off our collaboration with Stanton Enterprise?! Who allowed you to do that, huh?!” Luke was furious. The Fowlers and the Stantons had been friends for decades and cooperated frequently in the business industry. Beatrice was even Luke’s favored candidate for a daughter-in-law. With what he did, Blair was simply disrespecting the Stantons. What was worse was that the other companies cooperating with Fowler Enterprise also stopped working with Stanton Enterprise after learning that Blair broke off the collaboration with Stanton Enterprise. In just a day, Stanton Enterprise was in jeopardy. Blair asked coldly, “Do I need to ask for permission?” Luke was so mad that h
“Wow! I captured it really well!” Mable and Blair glanced at the kitchen door at the same time to find Tracey holding her phone with a big smile on her face. “Blair, Mabes, doesn’t this look heartwarming?” Tracey ran in with her phone. Blair looked at it and said, “It’s quite good. Send it to me.” Mable immediately pushed him away and glared at Tracey. “Tracey, do you still want dinner?!” “Yes, yes! Of course! I’ll help you wash the vegetables!” Tracey quickly sent the photo to Blair and did as she said. … While Tracey did not know how to cook, she was good at helping. Soon, she was done with the preparations. An hour later, dinner was served. Blair looked at the mouthwatering dishes and suddenly remembered Mable’s words last night. There was a time last year when Mable would prepare three meals for him almost every day. She would send an exquisite lunch box to the company and prepare a sumptuous dinner in the evening, waiting for him to come home. However, he
After Blair washed the dishes, he also cut some fruits. In the living room, Mable and Tracey were engrossed in playing a game. When Mable was suddenly fed with a piece of watermelon, she ate it without thinking. It was cold and quenched her thirst. She turned to find Blair sitting beside her with a fork. He asked gently, “Is it good?” Mable shifted to the side and answered, “...Not bad.” Blair took another piece of watermelon with the fork and fed it to her. “Have another one.” Mable was not used to being treated so gently by him. “I’ll do it myself— Mm...” The cold and delicious watermelon was fed to her mouth. Tracey stopped playing the game when she saw them. She wailed, “Can you have some love and care for a single woman like me?” She was blinded by their public display of affection. Blair looked askance at her. She was an eyesore for him at the moment. “Are you not going home?” “Yes, I’m going back now.” Tracey put down the gamepad and prepared to leave.
Tracey walked to the door and suddenly remembered something. She stopped and turned around. “Is there something else?” Blair looked at her. Tracey said, “I had dinner with Solomon yesterday. He asked me to remind you that it’s time for a body checkup.” Blair was stunned. He had been so busy lately that he had forgotten about it. “You know your condition…” “What’s there to be afraid of? I’m only twenty-eight this year.” Blair put out the cigarette in his hand and sounded indifferent. Tracey frowned. “That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pay attention to it.” “Got it.” Blair lit another cigarette after Tracey left. After sitting in the study for a while, he went downstairs. Mable was already taking a walk in the garden. Mable asked him, “What did you and Tracey talk about earlier? She had a big smile on her face when she left.” Blair held her hand and answered after some thought, “Her crush is coming back.” “Crush?” Mable had known Tracey for so long but had never he
Amos looked at Mable from behind and was dumbfounded for a long time. “Master Blair, was that… Ms. Jefferson? When did she become so amazing? A medical professor at such a young age? Is she a genius?!” Blair smiled proudly. “As expected of my wife.” Amos was speechless.‘Master Blair, have you forgotten that you’re divorced?’ … In the dean’s office. Zachary looked at Blair’s various test reports with a frown on his face. “Master Blair, have you been working too much lately and are under too much pressure? Quite a few of the numbers on your reports are on the high side. How’s your sleep and appetite lately?” Blair pinched the spot between his eyebrows. “My appetite is fine, but I’ve been a little… insomniac.” He hardly had insomnia in the past. However, when Mable ran away to Ashdale, he did not sleep for three days just to look for her. Since then, he began to suffer from insomnia. Zachary asked again after some thought, “What about your mental state? Do you tend
“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
