After a while, Kyle saw her face turn red from holding her breath and finally let go of her.“Phew—”Zoe took a deep breath after finally being able to breathe, her chest heaving.Kyle licked his lips and gently stroked her head. “How sweet.”Zoe pouted her moist and pink lips and looked at him innocently. “I thought you were gonna eat me, Ky.”Kyle held her slender hand and said in a teasing tone, “Not yet.”Her body had not fully recovered and could not endure much.Zoe’s eyes were filled with confusion, not understanding what he meant.Then, he said, “You must get better quickly, understand?”“Okay!” Zoe also wanted to recover quickly so she could be with Kyle forever....The next day, all of Zoe’s examination results came out. Everything was normal, so she could be discharged.In the afternoon, Kyle processed the discharge procedures for her and brought her back to his villa in Monafett.As soon as Zoe got out of the car, she held his hand anxiously and looked around.
“Zoe!”Zoe was sitting on the bed and cried even harder when she saw Kyle enter. “Ky... Help me... I’m bleeding so much...”Kyle strode over. “What happened? Where are you bleeding?”Zoe threw herself into Kyle’s arms and pointed between her legs. “I didn’t do anything, but I suddenly started to bleed. There’s so much blood... Am I going to die?”Kyle looked down, and his expression instantly darkened.Zoe had just taken a shower and was wearing a thin T-shirt that barely covered her thighs. At that moment, there was a trace of blood on her fair legs.He picked her up and found a glaring red stain on the bedsheets under her butt...Zoe clung to his clothes and sobbed. “Ky, I’m scared...”Kyle secretly sighed in relief and carried her to the bathroom. “Don’t be scared. This is a normal phenomenon. Every girl will experience this. It’s okay...”Zoe opened her mouth, her eyes filled with tears and shock. “Really? So I won’t die?”Kyle kissed her forehead and assured her. “You wo
Blair rushed back to the villa.At that moment, Mable was holding a laptop in the living room while dealing with documents for Jefferson Enterprise.Seeing Blair, who should have been in the office, suddenly returned, she was surprised and asked, “Why are you back?”Blair sat beside her, held her hand tightly, and said with a solemn expression, “Mabes, I have something to tell you.”Mable could not help but straighten up when she saw his serious expression. “Did something happen?”She paused, then suddenly thought of something. “Is it about Zoe?”Blair nodded. Before he could speak, Mable asked anxiously, “Is there news? Did you find her?”Blair frowned tightly, his expression filled with regret. “Mabes, my subordinate just called to report that Secret has found Zoe’s body.”Mable instantly froze. The last word hit her head like a thunderbolt, leaving her mind blank.They found... Zoe’s body...She was dead?Mable looked at Blair in disbelief, trembling all over. Her tears s
Spike immediately nodded and took off his shoes to climb on the bed. “I’ll stay with Mommy.”Blair went to the study.He called Amos and told him to cancel his meeting for the next few days and gave him some instructions regarding work.After everything was settled, he thought for a moment and called Kyle.Blair had known Kyle for many years and had some understanding of him. Despite what Kyle said in front of Mable about not caring about Zoe’s life and death, Blair knew that he was just being stubborn.If he truly did not care, he would not have searched for Zoe all over the world when she left Richworth last year.Although Kyle said that he was looking for her to get revenge, deep down, he had never truly let go of her.Soon, the call connected.“Hello?” It was midnight in Monafett where Kyle was now.Blair said, “Kyle, Zoe is dead.”“...”The other side of the phone was silent.Blair continued, “Her body was brought back to Fasier by Secret.”Then, Kyle’s cold and emoti
Mable looked at Blair, feeling insecure, afraid that he might leave her too.Blair hugged Mable. "I've always been by your side, and that will never change."Spike also embraced his mommy and looked up at her. "Mommy, I won't leave you either."Mable hugged Spike and kissed his cheek. "Thank you, baby. Thank you, hubby."Blair extended his arm and pulled Spike into their embrace. "We'll always be together as a family."Spike looked up at Blair and nodded eagerly.Zoe’s death had fatigued Mable mentally and emotionally. She felt lost all day.The next morning, Mable and Blair traveled to Fasier. They arrived at the castle just in time for Zoe's funeral. Blair was stopped at the entrance, the same as previously, leaving Mable to enter alone.Zoe was an orphan. The members who attended the funeral were only from Secret.Inside the mausoleum.Mable stood in front of Zoe's grave. She gazed at the picture on the tombstone and recalled her smile and sweet voice. Tears streamed dow
Kyle stared at Adam with a cold expression. "She's not one of us now."He would not have allowed her into the castle if not for her close relationship with Zoe.Adam looked at Kyle and could not shake the feeling that there was something unfamiliar about his gaze. However, upon closer inspection, he seemed normal.Adam nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I'll make sure she takes her leave."Mable waited in the living room, and Adam did not take long to return."Did he agree to see me?" Mable asked.Adam shook his head with a tinge of regret in his tone. "Kyle doesn't want to see you."Mable's eyes flickered with disappointment. She knew that Kyle was still upset with her.Looking at Mable, Adam said, "If you have anything to say to him, I can pass on the message for you."Mable sighed. " If he doesn't want to meet, then let it be. I don't have much to say but only to check on him."After a pause, Mable remembered. "By the way, Spike can speak now."Spike had grown up under t
Mable tried to avoid the man but his grip caught her arm.The man looked at her with an expression of disbelief and asked, "What's your name?"Mable raised her eyebrow at the stranger. ‘Is this the new generation’s way to flirt with girls?’ she thought. This rude approach was distasteful, especially when it involved strangers touching her. She forcefully pulled her arm away from the man's grasp and replied with a cold tone, "Sir, this is quite impolite!"The man stared at Mable as if he was assessing her. His face was still in shock. "How old are you?"Mable was furious at the absurdity of the situation. First, he asked for her name, and now he was inquiring about her age. She could not be bothered with him and walked away.The man tried to stop her, and Mable showed him her wedding ring. “Please stop harassing me. I’m a married woman!”The man realized that he had been too upfront and stammered, "I'm sorry, I-""Mabes!" Blair's face turned dark as he approached, and Mab
"Alright." Kyle nodded. He knew Mable was not fond of him, so he did not say much. He got into another car and left, and Blair accompanied Mable to their vehicle.Mable looked at Blair and apologized softly, "I'm sorry, Blair. I was angry at him and didn't mean to make things difficult for you."Blair held Mable's hand, comforting her, "There's no need to apologize, Mabes. I understand how you feel."Mable felt gloomy and leaned on Blair's shoulder on their way to Blair’s villa in Monafett. When they arrived, Mable took a short nap to adjust to the time difference. Kyle was on his way to meet Blair and discuss some matters in the evening. Mable did not want to see Kyle and made plans to have dinner with Rahman.After Mable changed into a different outfit, she told Blair, "I am having dinner with Rahman tonight. Please message me once you're done talking with Kyle."Blair frowned. "Where are you having dinner, and who's going?""It's just Rahman and I, and he picked the rest
“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
