This face was too handsome!Blair held Mable's hand and kissed her palm. "Without you by my side on such occasions, people might think we're having marital issues."Mable furrowed her brows. "So, you're blaming me."Blair quickly responded, "No, it's all my fault."Mable snorted, somewhat spoiled, and ordered, "Carry me to our room.""Of course, my lady." For Blair, this was a pleasant task.Blair carried Mable to their room. "Mabes, can I sleep in the master room tonight?"Mable glanced at him and covered herself in a blanket without a word.Blair grinned slightly and went to take a shower. Once he was done and dried his hair, he lay beside Mable.He attempted to embrace her, but he noticed Mable's back stiffening as if she felt uncomfortable.Blair sighed inwardly and gently ran his fingers through Mable's hair. "I'll sleep in the adjacent room then. Goodnight, Mabes."Mable bit her lip, wanting to call him back, but no words came out. She could not find the right words to
He knew how worried Mable had been when Zoe went missing and how heartbroken she was when she heard of Zoe's death. However, Blair had kept the fact that Zoe was still alive from her all this time.He professed his love for her, yet he concealed this secret from her."What am I to you, Blair?" Mable felt like a fool!Blair held Mable's hand, desperately wanting to explain. "Mabes, please, let me explain—"Mable forcefully pulled her hand away from Blair's grip, her body trembling angrily. "I don't want to hear it!"Mable had no patience for his explanations right now. She just wanted to see Zoe as soon as possible and deal with that scumbag, Kyle!"Mabes!"Blair rushed forward and grabbed Mable's arm. "Calm down. Zoe's situation is complicated. You should—"Mable pushed Blair away, her eyes red with anger. "Blair, if you dare to stop me, I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow and divorce you!"Blair froze for a moment, then let go of Mable's hand. He knew she meant it.
“Mable!" Blair was startled and quickly rushed forward to hold Mable's hand. Her hand was injured, and she could not withstand such a forceful slap."Sir!" Seeing her Master being slapped, Aunt Laura was taken aback but did not dare to intervene.Kyle took the slap head-on without any attempt to dodge or defend himself.Without feeling any relief from her actions, Mable asked, "Kyle, where's Zoe?""Upstairs in her room, still asleep," Kyle replied.Mable wanted to go upstairs, but Kyle stopped her. "What do you want, Mable?""What do I want? Zoe lost her memory and doesn't remember the things you did to her in the past. But I remember! I won't stand by and let you hurt her again!" Mable was resolute."Zoe is safe with me now; no one will harm her, and I won't either," Kyle said."Stop talking nonsense!" Mable glared at Kyle. “How dare you say that? You hurt Zoe the most!"Kyle's eyebrows furrowed as his expression turned cold. "Mable, this is between Zoe and me. It has nothing
After examining Zoe's pulse, Mable checked the wound on Zoe's head. The wound had already healed after a long time, leaving only a thin surgical scar.Zoe's condition was not severe, but she was weak. The recent headache was a result of her previous head injury. Mable regretted her earlier impulsiveness; she should not have brought up the past without fully understanding Zoe's condition, which had caused her sudden headache and fainting.Inadvertently, Mable's gaze fell on Zoe's neck.Zoe was still wearing her pajamas with the collar open, and her fair neck and collarbone were covered in kiss marks. Mable could easily deduce what had happened.She clenched her fists, her eyes shooting icy daggers at Kyle, wishing she could tear him apart. How shameless of Kyle to take advantage of Zoe's memory loss!Kyle covered Zoe with a blanket to keep her warm, ignoring Mable's hostile gaze. He calmly asked, "How is Zoe now?""She's stable for the moment," Mable replied.Mable then turned
Zoe herself spoke these words to Mable. Mable still remembered the time when she woke up with severe injuries in the ancient castle and saw Zoe had cut her hair short.She asked for the reason, and Zoe had first remained silent before speaking to her about many things—from Zoe's love for Kyle to her deep hatred for him."Mable, what should I do? I was optimistic and cheerful, but now I can't find any joy. Kyle has made me feel like I'll never be happy again."Mable recalled the tears in Zoe's eyes as she uttered these words, and her heart ached."Kyle, do you know how much Zoe loved you? After being deceived and abandoned by you, she started to hate you just as much. She even considered having me use the Fuxi Nine Needles Technique to seal all her memories of you."Mable wished she could do that to help Zoe forget about Kyle and her pain if it were not for the significant side effects. Kyle listened to Mable's words with a calm expression. He knew Zoe held a deep grudge against
Mable narrowed her eyes and smirked in anger. "Strictly speaking, Zoe is also related to Secret. If you don't let me take her away, I'll call Rory. Trust me, Rory will personally come to get her within three days!"Rory had always harbored deep resentment toward X. If he found out Zoe was not dead and had been hidden by Kyle, he would come without hesitation.Mable thought that after saying this, Kyle would give up Zoe. However, Kyle responded firmly, "So what? Do you think I'm afraid of him?"When he had decided to keep Zoe by his side, Kyle had already considered the worst-case scenario. Even if Rory came to demand Zoe in person, he would not allow Zoe to leave him!Mable stared at Kyle. Despite her anger, she could not help but admire his determination.A thought suddenly crossed her mind, and she chuckled. "Kyle, don't tell me you've fallen in love with Zoe."Blair watched Kyle and knew he would confront Rory head-on to keep Zoe by his side. If that was not love, what was it?
Zoe turned her head and gave Mable a curious look. "Who are you?"Zoe pointed at Mable, saying to Kyle, "Kyle, I forgot her name.""Her name is Mable," Kyle replied.Kyle glanced at Mable, paused momentarily, and told Zoe, "You two used to be good friends."Zoe's eyes lit up with surprise. "So, Zoe had friends! No wonder she feels so familiar."Since she lost her memory, Zoe had no contact with anyone other than Kyle. She sometimes wondered if she had any friends before.Mable stepped closer and looked at Zoe with a bitter smile. "Zoe, I'm sorry. I only just found out about your memory loss.""It's okay." Zoe held Mable's hand. "Can I come and play with you in the future? It's boring when Kyle isn't at home."Kyle's eyebrows twitched slightly. Zoe had never told him she was bored alone at home. He had overlooked that detail."Of course, you can," Mable replied, holding Zoe's hand. Mable felt heartache but managed to smile. "Zoe, would you like to stay at my place? That way, we
Blair and Mable arrived at Kyle's house early in the morning and had not eaten breakfast, either. After Zoe and Kyle came downstairs, they had something to eat together.Mable was too angry to eat much but restrained herself from causing a scene in front of Zoe.After breakfast, Mable took Zoe for a walk in the garden and asked Zoe about the events of the past few days." Kyle has been very good to me. We even went to an amusement park yesterday."Mable's heart ached, feeling that the current Zoe was like a lamb led to slaughter."He might be pretending now; you don't know what he was like before…” Mable paused, not wanting to trigger Zoe's headaches by mentioning the past."Before?" Zoe looked at Mable in confusion. "Mable, what was Kyle like before?""He used to be very bad, and you didn't like him."Zoe frowned slightly and looked at Mable seriously. "Kyle is a good person now, though. I like him."Mable sighed inwardly. Zoe had lost her memory, and her mental state was lik
