Melanie’s heart tightened at his words, and her hands on her knees subconsciously clenched into fists.She hid it so well. How did Kyle find out that she had boyfriends abroad?She did not have time to think about it and said, “That’s not what I meant, Kyle. Don’t misunderstand. I’m not an unreasonable person. I came to see you today just to ask for another month or two. Once I complete this project, I’ll personally talk to Uncle Floyd to cancel the engagement.“Please, Kyle.”Kyle looked at the pleading Melanie in front of him, remained silent for a while, and finally nodded.“Thank you, Kyle!” Melanie was overjoyed.Her mother was right. So long as she showed weakness, spoke soft words, and acted pitiful, no man could refuse.Melanie looked at him and smiled. “It’s almost noon. Let me treat you to a meal as thanks.”“No need. I have plans for lunch.”“Okay, then I’ll leave now.”Melanie was not upset since she achieved her main goal for the day. Being too pushy would only m
Blair looked at it and frowned slightly. “It’s very small.”He thought the parasite would look bizarre with a size similar to a thumbnail, but this creature was entirely white and resembled a small bean.Dr. Sandman explained, “Master Blair, the parasite is highly sensitive to its species when it is white. When it’s full, its body will turn red and enter a dormant period that can last for up to a month...”Then, Dr. Sandman looked at him. “Master Blair, I’ll take a blood sample for you now.”Blair held out his hand. Dr. Sandman pricked his index finger with a needle and dripped two drops of blood near the parasite.The next moment, the seemingly motionless parasite suddenly became excited, quickly retreating until it reached the edge of the petri dish, as if intending to climb out.Dr. Sandman watched this scene and frowned tightly. “This reaction...”Blair said, “This indicates that... I have the male parasite of the Necro Poison in my body.”Compared to the doctor’s worry, Bl
Dr. Sandman looked at Blair and explained, “Master Blair, there’s something I didn’t mention before. Although the male parasite can enhance physical strength and longevity, if it’s removed from the body, there’s a risk that the parasite might die. More importantly, the person losing the parasite will become increasingly weak and might not live for long after.”Blair listened to the word but showed no surprise in his expression.He nodded and said calmly, “I know.”The doctor was stunned. “If you know, then why...”...“Blair, if you want to save Mable, there’s a way. The male parasite in your body can neutralize the Necro Poison of the female parasite.“As long as you remove the male parasite, just a drop of its blood can completely cleanse the poison in Mable’s body.“However, let me tell you. Once you remove the male parasite, you’ll die in less than a year.“What will you do? Are you still willing to save Mable? Hahaha... Blair, I want to see just how much you love Mable. Wi
Blair quickly went to the rest area, grabbed a thin blanket, and covered her gently.It was soon winter. Even though there was heating in the office, sleeping like that could lead to a cold.“You’re back.”Mable was not in a deep sleep and woke up as soon as Blair covered her.“Why didn’t you sleep in the rest area? You didn’t even cover yourself with a blanket. What if you catch a cold?”Blair looked at her with concern in his eyes, holding her hand while frowning deeply. “Look how cold your hands are. You’re always making me worry.”Mable looked at him and smiled. “I just wanted to close my eyes but ended up falling asleep.”Blair brought her hand to his mouth and breathed warm air on them. “Have you been having trouble sleeping at night?”He had been sleeping in the other room and did not know how Mable slept.Mable yawned. “I’ve been taking medicine these days, which has helped.”Blair rubbed her hand and suddenly said, “Mabes, can I sleep in the master bedroom tonight?”
Blair looked at Mable and suddenly asked, “Mabes, do you remember the mysterious man who bought your portrait at the Salomon Auction?”“Yeah.” Mable nodded, not understanding why Blair suddenly brought up this matter.The incident left a deep impression on Mable. “I remember the portrait was priced at three million, but the other party bid up to thirteen million in the end.”Blair said, “At that time, I had someone investigate the person’s identity. However, they couldn’t find anything. Even the boss of Salomon didn’t know who they were.”Mable was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. “I also asked Rahman to investigate, but he couldn’t find anything either.”She paused and then asked, “Do you suspect that the person secretly investigating me is the mysterious person who bought my portrait?”“It’s not impossible. After all, their identities are very mysterious, and... they’re interested in you.”Mable looked at Blair’s jealous look and snickered.“Is Master Blair feeling threa
Mable looked at the smile on Zoe’s face and suddenly asked, “Zoe, are you happy?”Zoe smiled innocently and nodded. “Yep. I’m really happy. I have you and Ky...”Mable nodded with a smile. “That’s good.”Kyle came out of the bathroom and saw Zoe lying on the bed, talking on her phone. When he approached, he saw it was a video call with Mable.Mabe saw Kyle in the video and gave him a warning look. Then, she smiled at Zoe and said, “Have fun and stay safe. Bye.”“Bye, Mabes.”After hanging up the phone, Zoe hugged Kyle and said with excitement, “Ky, today is my twenty-fourth birthday!”Kyle raised his brows and guessed that Mable called to wish Zoe a happy birthday. He had wanted to give her a surprise, but it was unexpectedly ruined by Mable.He rubbed her face and said, “Yes, you turn twenty-four today.”Zoe burrowed into Kyle’s embrace and smelled the same fragrance of the shower gel she used on him, feeling at ease.“Does that mean I get to eat cake today?”“Of course.”
After a while, Zoe was let go and panted heavily, saying, “Ky, thank you for the surprise.”“Zoe...”Kyle looked at her with bright eyes. If not for the fact that they had not had dinner yet, he would have carried her upstairs.“Let’s eat.” He led her to the dining table.During the meal, Zoe took a few photos and sent them to Mable, sharing the joy of her birthday.After eating, Kyle brought her back to the bedroom.Unlike the city, where neon lights blinked everywhere at night, the night sky there was as bright as day.That was why it was also a good place to stargaze.The roof was made of transparent glass, allowing Zoe to see the stars while lying on the bed.Kyle lay beside her, letting her rest on his arm.Zoe looked at the stars in the night sky and said, “Ky, can we come here on my birthday every year? Let’s come here on your birthday, too... I’ll also prepare a surprise for you.”Kyle hugged her. “Sure.”Zoe suddenly remembered that she did not know his birthday, s
The private investigator Jane hired found out everything about Zoe in less than a week.After Jane finished reading the information, she immediately revealed a pleased look. “I wondered who Kyle’s girlfriend was, but it turns out she has no family background, job, or ambition. Hehe. She suffered a severe injury three months ago, and now, her mental age is only six or seven years old. She’s just a fool...”Melanie looked at the information and also laughed. “Mom, the Goodman family will never accept Kyle marrying such a woman.”“Of course not. How could the Goodmans let a fool become their madam?”Melanie mumbled, “It’s no wonder Kyle didn’t tell anyone even though they’ve moved in together. He knows his parents won’t agree to them being together.”Jane patted her daughter’s hand and said, “Since Kyle’s parents don’t know about this, let’s find an opportunity to reveal it to them. We won’t have to get involved in what comes after. Someone will naturally help us solve this problem.”
“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
