Seeing that Mable was less angry, Blair took the opportunity to enter the bedroom. He held Mable's hand and said, "Let me see your hand."Mable had been undergoing rehabilitation to perform acupuncture for Spike in the past. Her hand was recovering well, but the doctor had advised her to use it less and avoid exerting too much force. When she slapped Kyle earlier in the morning, the loud sound indicated she had used considerable force. Blair was concerned she might have hurt her hand.Blair looked at Mable's right hand with a concerned expression. "Does it hurt?"Mable furrowed her brows slightly. "A little.""Wait a moment. I'll get the ointment." Blair opened the drawer of the bedside table and took out the ointment. He sat down next to Mable and applied it to her hand.While applying the ointment, Blair said, "I feel like tying both your hands to make you behave."Mable got angry and retorted, "It was clearly because of Kyle that made me angry. Instead of blaming me, you sho
Even though it was his first time cooking, with Aunt Laura's guidance and reminders, dinner went smoothly."Zoe, wash your hands for dinner," Kyle called out."Okay." Zoe washed her hands and entered the dining room. She looked at the dishes on the table and then gazed at Kyle with admiration. "Kyle, you're amazing!"Anything she could not do, Kyle could! Kyle served Zoe a bowl of soup. "Try this clam chowder first."While Zoe had been slightly picky about food before her memory loss, her taste had become even more refined. Kyle was worried the food he made might not meet her taste.Holding the bowl of creamy clam chowder in her hands, Zoe blew on it before taking a small sip. She smacked her lips happily and said, "Kyle, this is the best clam chowder Zoe has ever had."Kyle, who had also served himself a bowl, smiled when he heard her compliment. It tasted good, but it was still not as perfect as the dishes Aunt Laura made.Zoe, with her discerning palate, could tell the diff
Kyle smiled faintly and did not engage in further conversation with Melanie. He had no strong impression of her. They had only met a few times when they were children. Their parents had arranged this marriage when they were still young, and Kyle did not care much about it back then. However, his perspective has changed over the years.Kyle's guess was accurate. As soon as he sat down, his parents brought up the topic of his marriage to Melanie."Mom, Dad."Kyle interrupted his parents, saying, "When you arranged this marriage all those years ago, Melanie and I were still kids. Many years have passed, and we've hardly seen each other. Melanie has been abroad for a long time, and I'm sure she has her interests by now. I think it's better to call off this marriage. The relationship between the Goodmans and the Xephers won't change even without this arrangement."Floyd and Monica were surprised by his sudden declaration and did not know how to respond.On the other hand, Melanie, wh
Melanie had been thinking about what topic to discuss with Kyle when he unexpectedly made this statement.The smile on Melanie's face froze instantly. "Kyle, why?"Kyle calmly stated, "Miss Xepher, I have a girlfriend."Melanie was taken aback. Was not he single?"I haven't informed my family about my relationship yet, so that's why my parents said I was single."Kyle looked at Melanie and continued, "Miss Xepher, you can tell my parents you're not interested in me. That way, it won't damage your reputation."He was also considering Melanie’s reputation, which was why he had not been straightforward earlier. Moreover, he did not want his family to know about Zoe's existence.Melanie, feeling awkward, looked at Kyle. "So, that's how it is."Melanie could not blame him, even if she wanted to."If Miss Xepher wants to walk in the garden, I can have the butler show you around. I have some other matters to attend to and need to leave."Melanie forced a faint smile. "That won't be
Steam lingered in the bathroom, permeated with a faint cherry blossom fragrance. As Kyle entered, he found Zoe soaking in the bathtub, sleeping soundly with one arm resting on the edge of the tub.Kyle shook his head helplessly; he knew if there had been no movement for a while, Zoe would have fallen asleep.The bathtub at home was a constant-temperature massage tub. Taking a nap during a bath was indeed comfortable, but it was not suitable for prolonged sleep. Moreover, it could be dangerous if one fell asleep and accidentally slipped into the water.Kyle gently tapped Zoe’s cheek. “Zoe.”“Mmm…”Zoe was startled awake and rubbed her eyes. “Ky... you’re back.”Kyle indulgently pinched Zoe’s cheek. “Why did you fall asleep in the bathtub again?”Zoe scratched her head, smiling politely while replying, “It’s comfortable to soak, and I accidentally fell asleep.”Having said that, she suddenly realized something and immediately hugged her arms tightly, blushing. “Ky, how could yo
“Okay, I’ll bring you something delicious later.”After hanging up the phone, Mable went downstairs and asked Aunt Grace to help make tiramisu. It was Zoe’s favorite dessert. Though, Mable did not know if her taste had changed due to amnesia.After having lunch at home, Mable took the freshly made tiramisu and headed out.At Kyle’s house.When Aunt Laura heard from Zoe that Mable was coming, she specially prepared high tea for two.Zoe had just finished a video call with Kyle and was in a good mood. She was currently sitting on the sofa watching TV.Upon hearing the doorbell outside, Zoe excitedly jumped off the sofa and ran out before Aunt Laura could open the door.“Mabes... Huh?”Zoe thought it was Mable. However, when she opened the door, she saw a stranger standing outside—a young lady.Seeing Zoe at the door, Melanie was stunned for a moment. She looked at the door plate. “Is this... Kyle’s house?”It should be right. Did Auntie not say Kyle lived here?Zoe looked at t
Melanie smiled faintly and casually said, “I’m twenty-three, five years younger than Kyle.”Zoe, holding a piglet plush toy, sat down and nodded. “Seems like it.”Melanie continued asking, “Ms. White, how long have you known Kyle?”Zoe looked at Aunt Laura. She had amnesia and could not remember when she first met Kyle. It should have been a very long time ago.Seeing Melanie asking so many questions, Aunt Laura felt a bit uncomfortable. Although she had an engagement with Mr. Xepher, it was established when they were children. Mr. Xepher had no feelings for her, and Ms. Zoe was now the mistress here.“Ms. Xepher, Ms. Zoe suffered some injuries and doesn’t remember some things very clearly. She and Mr. Goodman have been together for a long time.”“I see…”Melanie looked at Zoe, seemingly lost in thought.Why did it feel like she did not just have memory loss but rather...A bit intellectually challenged!Melanie stood up and said while smiling, “Since the things have been d
“Hello, Aunt Laura. I came to see Zoe,” Mable smiled as she spoke.“Mrs. Fowler, please come in.”Although Mable slapped Kyle the last time she was here, Aunt Laura also knew Mable did it out of nervousness for Zoe. She did not blame her.Mable handed the tiramisu to Aunt Laura and said, “Aunt Laura, you can just call me Mable. This is for Zoe; she used to love eating this.”“Coincidentally, I made one this morning, too.”Aunt Laura led Mable into the house with a smile.“Mabes, you’re here.”Zoe ran over as soon as she saw Mable.Mable pulled Zoe to sit on the sofa and asked, “Zoe, how have you been recently? Does your head still hurt?”Zoe shook her head. “Not anymore.”“Come, let me check your pulse. Stick out your tongue so I can check the coating…”Aunt Laura sighed as she watched Mable check Zoe’s pulse.In this world, besides Mr. Kyle, only Mrs. Fowler treated Ms. Zoe so well. If, in the future, Mr. Kyle and Ms. Zoe separated, at least Mrs. Fowler could still protect
