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
His injury was wrapped in bandages on the right side of his abdomen. Mable carefully examined it, only to find that the wound was not bleeding. She gently pressed around his wound."Does it hurt?" she asked.Blair remained silent.Mable's slender fingers touched his abdomen. She had not realized she had stoked the fire within Blair.Mable ignored Blair's reaction. She saw his complexion getting worse and worried that pain might have caused it."Does it hurt here?" Mable asked again.Blair took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart. "Let go. It doesn't hurt!""Why do you look so unwell if it doesn’t hurt? Let me check again...""That won’t be necessary." Blair firmly pulled Mable's hand away and covered himself with the blanket.Mable did not want to provoke him, thinking he still had not forgiven her. She got off the bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up.She came out of the bathroom with a wet towel in her hand."Let me help wipe your face."Blair avoi
