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
Kyle sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand and gently stroking the back of it."Would you kill me if you regain your memory, Zoe?" Kyle stared at Zoe, speaking to himself. "Mable was right. With your personality, you might."Kyle remembered what Mable had said, and regret filled his heart. She must have been devastated back then. Otherwise, why would she have wanted Mable to seal all her memories of him?Kyle regretted how he had ended his relationship with her a year ago and the hurtful words he had spoken. Looking at Zoe beside him, Kyle felt heartache and remorse.Kyle lowered his head and kissed Zoe on the cheek. "Zoe, I hope that day won't come too soon."At that moment, his phone rang. Kyle silenced the call, afraid of waking Zoe, before answering the phone. "Father.""When you return this afternoon, please pick up Melanie at the airport. Her flight is scheduled to land at four o'clock. Bring her back to Goodman mansion with you," his father instructed.Kyle furrowe
“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
