After Kyle and Melanie left the bedroom, Monica sat up, and the sickly look on her face disappeared.Floyd said, “Monica, contact Mrs. Xepher later and invite her and her husband over for dinner tonight. Since Kyle is here, let’s finalize their marriage tonight.”Monica nodded. “I was thinking the same.”After a pause, she felt worried and asked, “I see that Kyle doesn’t seem to like Melanie. His attitude is so cold. If we rush their marriage and he doesn’t agree...”“He doesn’t have a choice!”Floyd’s expression was cold. “If he doesn’t marry Melanie, are we going to watch him continue to be with that little fool?”Hearing her husband’s words, Monica dispelled her worries.They were doing this for Kyle’s sake. They could not let him be with that little fool....After Kyle came down from upstairs, he sat on the couch.“Kyle, the weather is nice today. Let’s go for a walk in the garden.” Monica took the initiative to invite him.Kyle glanced at her indifferently with a polit
Kyle’s expression darkened abnormally at Mable’s words.Although he did not want to hear it, he knew that she was right. If Zoe recovered her memory one day, she would leave him without hesitation.Kyle gripped the phone tightly, his other hand clenching into a fist at his side.Mable said, “If you haven’t thought about spending your life with Zoe, then don’t bother her again. I’ll take good care of her in the future...”A short pain was better than prolonged suffering. Zoe would eventually forget him with time.Kyle took a deep breath and said, “What if I said that I’ve thought about spending my life with Zoe?”Mable immediately laughed. “Is that so? If that’s the case, why did you let her face what happened today?”They were together for so long and even lived together, but the Goodmans only found out about Zoe’s existence now. Furthermore, they forced Zoe to leave as soon as they showed up at the door.This meant that Kyle had not mentioned Zoe to his parents at all! Was t
Monica said, “There happens to be a date in early summer, around May...”Just as the two families were discussing the wedding date, Kyle, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stood up and said coldly, “Mom, Dad, Uncle Klay, and Aunt Jane, I won’t marry Ms. Xepher.”With that simple sentence, the five people’s expressions changed.Floyd smacked the table and scolded with a stern face, “You little brat, do you know what you’re saying?”Monica pulled her son’s sleeve and lowered her voice. “Kyle, what kind of joke are you making?”“Mom, you should know that I’m not the kind to make jokes randomly.”Kyle looked at his mother, then turned to the Xephers. “When I returned to the old residence last time, I already told Ms. Xepher that I won’t marry her. Considering her dignity, I asked her to propose canceling the engagement, and she agreed.“However, Ms. Xepher then used the excuse that the Xephers are handling an important project now and asked me to temporarily postpone canc
Hearing such harsh words from her husband, Monica hurriedly persuaded her son. “Kyle, you’ve always had a steady head. Why are you so stubborn this time? We’re doing this for your own good. Just what is so good about that girl...”Kyle interrupted his mother’s words and said, “Mom, Zoe is good. I’ve made up my mind. In this lifetime, I’ll only marry her.”Upon hearing this, Floyd’s expression turned ashen. “You want to marry her?! Don’t even think about it! She won’t take one step into the Goodman residence unless I’m dead!”“Kyle, do you want to anger me and your dad to death for that woman?”Monica was also angry. She could not understand what spell that woman cast over Kyle to make him like her so much.“Even if I don’t marry Zoe, I won’t marry Ms. Xepher either.”Jane’s expression darkened, and she said coldly, “Kyle, I’m not trying to lecture you, but you’re a bit ungrateful. My Melanie is outstanding whether it’s her appearance, knowledge, or capabilities. Moreover, she has
“Mabes, it’s getting dark. Why hasn’t Ky come to bring me home yet? He should have finished work by this time. Do you think... He doesn’t want me anymore?”As Zoe spoke, large tears welled up in her eyes and fell down her cheeks.Mable’s heart ached. She quickly put down the stuff in her hand and ran over to hug Zoe.“Don’t cry, Zoe. This is your home now. I’ll take care of you...”Zoe cried, “But I want Ky...”Mable stroked her head tenderly, wishing for Zoe to recover her memories this instant. That way, she would stop loving that scumbag.“I don’t need anything, but I can’t lose Ky.”Her heart broke when she thought of Kyle not wanting her anymore.Mable hugged her and patted her back, comforting her. “Zoe, maybe you’ll find someone better than Kyle in the future.”A scumbag like Kyle was not worthy of Zoe at all!Zoe shook her head forcefully in Mable’s embrace. “Ky is the best. I don’t want anyone else...”Mable’s heart ached when she watched Zoe cry so pitifully, yet w
Faced with Zoe’s tearful plea, Mable could not bear to refuse.Blair also needed to go to the Goodman Residence, so they decided to bring Zoe along.Along the way, Zoe stared nervously out of the car window, wishing the driver could drive as fast as a plane.Mable held Zoe’s cold hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry, Zoe. Kyle will be fine.”Zoe did not speak and silently shed tears.To comfort her, Mable suddenly thought of something and opened the car’s glove box.“What are you looking for?” Blair asked.“I left a blank checkbook in the car last time... Found it.”Mable picked up a pen, signed her name on a check, tore it off, and handed it to Zoe.“Take this, Zoe. If Kyle’s parents try to use money to humiliate you and force you to leave him again, you can throw this check in their faces. Tell them that I have plenty of money. Supporting their son is not a problem!”Blair was speechless.His lips twitched as he looked at Mable in exasperation.Zoe sniffed and took the ch
When she smiled, her eyes were even more dazzling than the stars in the sky...A smile appeared on Kyle’s lips at the thought of Zoe.Mable and the others arrived at the backyard and instantly saw Kyle kneeling not far away.He had his back turned, and it was covered in blood.Mable sucked in a cold breath when she saw this scene. The Goodmans’ punishment was serious. It was no wonder Kyle’s assistant had to call Blair for help.Before Mable could recover from the shock, she suddenly felt Zoe pulling away from her.“Zoe!”Zoe ran toward Kyle before Mable could react.“Stop! Stop it! Ky!”Zoe was terrified. Kyle was bleeding too much. He might die...When she saw the person raise the whip again, she rushed forward without any regard.Kyle thought that he was hallucinating Zoe’s voice calling him.The next second, someone suddenly hugged him from behind.The punisher did not expect someone to rush over suddenly and tried to stop, but it was too late.Smack!The whip fell h
The private doctor of the Goodman family, Michael, arrived promptly. Mable was in the bedroom, tending to Zoe's injuries, while Michael attended to Kyle's wounds outside.Blair sat on the couch downstairs, glancing nonchalantly at the Goodmans, eventually gazing at Kyle's father."Uncle, the Goodman family matters are not within my purview, but my company has been quite busy recently, and I can't do without Kyle, my right-hand man. So, I hope you can be lenient considering my request," Blair calmly stated.Kyle's father sighed, regretting his earlier actions. He had thought that a few lashes would be enough to make Kyle yield, but little did he know that Kyle endured seven of them. As a father, seeing his only son subjected to such punishment gave him heartache."This boy is getting out of hand as he grows older. He's becoming more unruly!" Kyle's father remarked.Blair smiled and responded, "Uncle, you should find solace in Kyle being a responsible and principled young man. I
