Blair was working in the study when he suddenly heard the start of a sports car engine coming from outside.He looked out the window and saw that it was Mable. ‘Where is she going at this hour?’ Blair was worried, so he immediately went downstairs to follow her with his men. Seeing as she ran several red lights along the way, he had a bad feeling about it. Mable was driving too fast. Even though Blair chased her closely from behind, he still arrived a few minutes later. When Blair arrived, he heard Tracey’s cries from the abandoned workshop. “Mabes, that’s enough! Stop hitting! Mabes!” Blair’s heart tightened, and he rushed in quickly. In the empty workshop, Mable was squatting beside a blonde man. Without a word, she grabbed his collar with one hand and punched his face with the other. Bam!Bam!One punch after another. Mable repeated her movements like a robot. Her eyes were hollow, and she was expressionless. She struck harder and harder with each punch. The
After hearing the doctor’s diagnosis, Blair finally relaxed before worrying again.“When will she wake up?” “Um… Ms. Jefferson is having an excessive stress reaction caused by a strong stimulus. She’ll likely stay unconscious until tomorrow afternoon and awake sometime after.” Blair nodded and signaled the doctors to leave. Once the doctors and nurses left, Blair and Mable were the only ones left in the bedroom. “Mabes.” Blair painfully held up Mable’s injured hand and planted a kiss on her fingers. Amos gently knocked on the door before entering the room. “Master Blair.” “How’s Tracey?” Blair asked. “I’m fine.” Tracey walked in. The doctor had told her to get some rest, but she was too worried about Mable. If Mable had not arrived in time, she might have been… Tracey looked at Mable’s bandaged hand and asked, “How’s Mabes?” “The doctor said she’s suffering from an excessive stress reaction from being stimulated and will be asleep for a while.” Tracey lower
When Mable woke up, Blair immediately asked the doctor to give her a checkup. He was only relieved when he learned there was nothing wrong with her body. Tracey helped Mable sit up. “Mabes, you scared us to death. You were having a nightmare, and we couldn’t wake you up, no matter what.” Mable’s heart ached as she stared at Tracey’s innocent face. If only that night five years ago had been a dream. “I’m sorry, Tracey. I dragged you into this.” If it was not for Beatrice wanting to take revenge on her, Tracey would not have been captured. Tracey held Mable’s hand tightly and said with a smile, “Don’t be silly. It wasn’t your fault. If you hadn’t arrived in time, I would’ve been violated. I’m only fine now because of you. You’re my lucky star, Mabes.” When Mable appeared, it was as if she saw an angel. She felt safe. Mable loved Tracey’s optimism and cheerfulness. She always smiled and faced everything that happened. The naive and bright Tracey reminded Mable of how s
Even though Blair had something to say, he swallowed his words. After all, Mable did not respond to what he said. Instead, she avoided it. Blair then stood up and started to undress. “W-what are you doing?!” Mable clutched the blanket and quickly moved to the side. Blair threw his jacket on the chair and lifted the cover to lay beside her. “Didn’t you want to rest? I’ll keep you company.” Mable pushed him. “I don’t need your company…” “I do.” Blair grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. “Mabes, I took care of you all night. I’m sleepy too.” After saying that, he buried his head in her neck and hugged her waist tightly. Angry and annoyed, Mable pushed him twice but failed to achieve anything. ‘When did he become so rogue?!’ Before long, Blair’s breathing evened out. Mable stared at his handsome face and sighed helplessly. She was not sleepy and only said that to send him away. Now that she was listening to his regular heartbeat and breathing, s
Tracey’s face changed when she heard the annoying voice. She cursed internally. Naomi strutted over while holding her helmet with one hand. “Long time no see, Tracey. What’s the matter? Do you not recognize me?” Tracey looked at her indignantly. “Get out of the way.” Naomi sneered. “How dare a loser like you make a fuss in front of me?!” Tracey retorted, “So what if I’m a loser? I don’t believe you’ll ever win on the track!” Mable raised her eyebrow. Naomi was the cheating partner of Tracey’s ex-boyfriend. Tracey had come here to play a year ago. Unexpectedly, she met her ex-boyfriend and his mistress. The breakup happened long ago, so Tracey did not bother about them. Who knew that Naomi would provoke her and propose a race?Tracey was mad and agreed to it. The two made a bet that the loser would leave their car behind and slap themselves twice in public. In the end, it was Tracey who lost. Mable still remembered when Tracey cried and confided in her. They had got
‘Is this Tracey’s first love?’ Mable turned to look at Tracey and roasted her, “You had… terrible taste!” “I know, right?!” Naomi filled Ben in on what had happened earlier. Hence, he looked at Mable, whose right hand was bandaged, in disbelief. “She wants to race you?” Tracey tugged at Mable’s hand and advised her, “Mabes, it’s better not to compete with her.” “Don’t worry.” Mable patted her shoulder. “I’ll avenge the humiliation you suffered last year!” “You’re overestimating yourself!” Naomi snorted coldly and looked at Mable and Tracey with mischief. “So, how do you want to do this? What are the stakes?” “Isn’t racing your forte? Let’s compete in racing, then. As for the stakes—” Before Mable could finish, Naomi said, “If you lose, you’ll have to striptease on the stage for an hour and take off everything at the end!” There was a loud uproar from the surroundings after she said that. “Fuck! That’s intense!” “Nomes is doing us a favor!” “Fuck! I’ll strip
The race on the track was about to start! With a “bang” by the signal gun, all the cars on the track sped off in unison. The audience on both sides of the track was shouting. There were nine corners on the track, with the difficulty increasing after every turn. In particular, the last three corners were uphill or downhill, and they were narrow and dangerous. In every race, at least 80% of the cars were lost there. The first corner was filled with cars. Mable held the steering wheel with one hand and drove slowly. Naomi had entered the third corner when Mable had exited the first. Tracey stood on the bleachers, praying for Blair to arrive soon while hoping Naomi would face defeat today. “Does she know how to race?” Howard frowned slightly as he looked at Mable’s car on the track. Tracey was so anxious that she was on the verge of crying. “I don’t know…” Howard commented, “It looks like she’s going to lose.” When he saw Mable being so confident, he thought she knew
While Mable and Howard were talking, Naomi reached the finish line. However, she did not get out of the car. Instead, she gripped the steering wheel hard and looked at Mable in disbelief. ‘She defeated me. ‘How is that possible? ‘I’m a professional racer, and I’ve raced on this track hundreds of times. How could I lose to her?’ Tracey walked to the side of the car and tapped on the window. “Naomi, be ready to accept your loss. When are you going to come out and dance?!” ‘Dance?’ Only then did Naomi remember the bet she had made. If she lost, she would have to striptease on the stage, slap herself 200 times, and call Tracey Daddy. ‘No! ‘Never!’ Naomi got down from the car and took off her helmet. She pointed at Mable and shouted, “There’s no way I lost. You must’ve cheated!” “Naomi!” Ben ran forward to pull away the emotional Naomi. Mable looked at her askance. “Where’s the proof?” Tracey put her hands on her waist and retorted without hesitation. “Blaming othe
“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
