“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
Zoe looked at Mable and said, “A woman came in the afternoon, claiming to be Ky’s fiancée.”Mable’s hand holding the silver needle paused, and her expression changed instantly.“Kyle’s fiancée?”Kyle actually had a fiancée!Mable was so angry that her chest heaved violently. If Kyle were here right now, she would use the silver needle to pierce him to death!Seeing Mable’s silence, Zoe pursued, “Mabes, what exactly is a fiancée?”Mable looked at Zoe, her heart in turmoil. In the end, she said, “A fiancée is just an ordinary friend.”Although she did not want to lie to her, Mable cared more about not upsetting her. Zoe, who now liked Kyle so much, would be heartbroken if she knew he had a fiancée.Zoe nodded. “Oh, so it’s just an ordinary friend.”“What did she come to do?” Mable asked while giving acupuncture to Zoe.“She came to bring gifts to Ky.”Mable asked again, “Did she say anything to you?”Zoe thought for a moment. “Not much.”Mable frowned. Kyle’s fiancée was qui
As Mable spoke, her eyes darkened, and a murderous intent permeated the air. “Kyle, I’ve seen scoundrels before, but I’ve never seen one as despicable as you. Do you think that Zoe’s amnesia gives you the right to deceive, bully, and trample on her?”Kyle looked at Mable and admitted, “The engagement between me and Melanie was arranged by our parents when we were young. We have no feelings for each other. I’ve already made it clear to her that I have a girlfriend and won’t marry her. This engagement won’t last long.”Aunt Laura felt a sense of relief after hearing it.She knew Mr. Kyle would not be so heartless to abandon Ms. Zoe.Mable raised an eyebrow, her gaze frosty. “How long is that?”“Rest assured. I’ll handle it as soon as possible.”Aunt Laura chimed in, “Mrs. Fowler, it’s true. This engagement was arranged by the master and madam twenty years ago with the Xepher family. Mr. Kyle and Ms. Xepher have not seen each other for over ten years. They’re not acquainted at all.”
“Aunt Laura, I can see you also care a lot about Zoe. If possible, I hope you can help look after her more often. I’ll try to come by when I have time. Also, if there’s ever a day Kyle mistreats her, please give me a call. I’ll come and take Zoe away.”Aunt Laura replied, “Mrs. Fowler, I’ll surely take good care of Miss White. As for the master... Please rest assured, he won’t mistreat Miss White.”Mable faintly said, “That’s hard to say. Men’s hearts can change. If one day he mistreats Zoe, it means he doesn’t love her anymore. In that case, why torment each other? Let me know, and I’ll take Zoe away. It would be better for both of them.”To put it plainly, Mable did not believe Kyle would be entirely devoted to Zoe.Aunt Laura sighed inwardly. As a fellow woman, she also felt sorry for Miss White.“Alright, Mrs. Fowler, I promise you. If there’s anything with Miss White in the future, I’ll inform you promptly.”However, in Aunt Laura’s heart, she still believed that the master
Mable quickly crouched down and hugged her, “What’s wrong? Are you upset? Where’s Spike?”Nicki lowered her head and whispered, “Hubert is still in the classroom.”Soon enough, Mable saw Hubert coming out of the classroom, followed by several little girls.“Goodbye, Hubert!”“See you tomorrow, Hubert!”...The kids waved enthusiastically to Spike, but he did not pay attention to them. Instead, he quickly ran towards Nicki.“Baby.” Mable hugged Spike. “The kids were greeting you. Why didn’t you respond? That’s very impolite.”Seeing Spike being so popular at school made Mable very happy. Spike frowned. “I don’t like them.”After saying that, Spike looked at Nicki and asked, “Why did you run so fast? I turned around, and you were gone.”Nicki pouted and did not say anything.Spike tried to reach out to grab Nicki’s hand. However, at the next moment, Nicki hid behind Mable, refusing to let him pull her.Spike froze, his little face suddenly turning cold.“Nicki?”Mable loo
Even though children at the age of five or six might not understand much, they could still discern that words like “ugly” and “disgusting” carried negative meanings.“Hubert, is Nicole your real sister?”“...No,” Hubert replied.“See, I told you they aren’t real siblings. Nicole is so ugly, and Hubert is so handsome. How could they be real siblings?”“I also think Nicole is very ugly. The scar on her face will surely be even bigger when she grows up.”“Hubert, don’t play with that ugly freak Nicole anymore. Let’s play together in the future.”“Yeah, Hubert, let’s play together. Ignore Nicole; she’s so ugly. Playing with her will make us ugly, too.”Hubert replied, “Disgusting!”“Do you also find the scars on her face disgusting? I do, too!”“Yeah... I also think so…”...Nicki remembered the conversation she heard in kindergarten that afternoon and cried bitterly.It turned out her kindergarten friends did not like her; they thought she was a freak.Their kindness toward h
