When he first arrived in Italee, Spike adjusted to the time difference and slept in the hotel from morning until evening. While his father was busy with business discussions in the reception room, Spike decided to go to the restaurant for dinner.As the elevator doors opened, Spike immediately spotted a woman inside, and his little face displayed a look of unbelievable shock. That face—he would remember it for a lifetime. It was Mommy—the mommy he had been searching for over two years!"Mommy!" Without overthinking, Spike rushed into the elevator and hugged Mable. Startled by this sudden turn of events, Mable dropped her phone."Mommy, I finally found you!" Spike looked at Mable with excitement, tears sparkling in his eyes. Despite what the others had said, he always believed that Mommy must still be alive.Mable, feeling a bit overwhelmed, looked at the child hugging her. "Little guy, you've got the wrong person. I'm not your mommy."This little one seemed around six or seven, an
"Master Blair, Young Master is missing.""What?" Blair abruptly stood up, his face instantly darkening.Solomon looked tense. "Wasn't he resting in the bedroom? How could he be missing?"In the past two years, Blair had expanded X's influence drastically, taking it to new heights and consequently making many enemies. Spike had been kidnapped twice this year. Blair worried about his safety and made sure to bring him everywhere he went.In a hotel with such tight security, how could someone manage to kidnap Spike?Blair looked at Alec and said, "Sorry, let's discuss the details of our cooperation next time."Alec closed his laptop, nodding. "No problem, finding people is more urgent."Blair immediately left the room. Several bodyguards responsible for Spike's safety knelt before Blair, full of self-blame. "Sorry, Master Blair, I failed to keep an eye on the young master. I—"Before he could finish speaking, Blair kicked him in the chest. The bodyguard flew several meters, coughin
"Master Blair!" Seeing Blair's expression change, Solomon quickly approached. "Are you okay?"Two years ago, when Blair woke up, he forgot everything about Mable and showed a strong aversion to her. Whenever Mable was mentioned, or if he saw a photo of her, he would experience heartache and, at times, even faint. Doctors said it was a self-defense mechanism triggered by intense emotional stress. So, for the past two years, they dared not mention Mable before him, not even her name.Spike looked at Daddy. "Daddy."Blair, with a cold face, emotionless, said, "You've got the wrong person."Mable nodded, looking at Spike. She patiently explained, "See, Spike, you've got the wrong person. I'm not your mommy."Maybe it was because Spike thought she looked a bit like his mom, but he insisted on thinking she was his mom."No mistake." Spike was almost in tears.Mable stood up to leave. "Spike, Aunt has something to do. Since your Daddy is here, I'll leave. Goodbye."The man's gaze wa
The Muller Manor.Mable returned home, finding Lini soothing Lemon to sleep. However, Lemon refused to sleep without Mommy, on the verge of tears.Mable quickly changed clothes and took Lemon into her arms."Good little Lemon, don't cry, Mommy's back, Mommy's here to hold you."As soon as Lemon saw Mommy, she behaved comfortably nestled in Mommy's arms.Lini reminded Mable, "Miss, remember to put the little miss in bed. Your hand won't be able to endure holding her for too long."With an old ailment in her hands, Mable should not exert too much force. However, she felt no pain and had two instances where she could not use force suddenly, almost dropping Lemon.Mable nodded, placing Lemon in the crib and humming a lullaby.Looking at her daughter, Mable suddenly thought of the encounter with Spike and his father at the hotel. Would the little guy cry after she left? His father looked so stern, so fierce.Mable thought of Spike's silver-haired father. Somehow, an uncomfortable f
Amos noticed Blair's room light was still on, so he knocked on the door."Come in." Hearing the voice from inside, Amos pushed the door open."Master Blair, the information I was investigating has yielded results."Blair walked to the liquor cabinet, poured himself a glass of wine, and casually said, "Tell me.""The lady Spike met tonight is named Mable Muller. She's the young miss of the Muller family, kidnapped at the age of one and missing for over twenty years. The Muller family only found her two years ago."Upon discovering this information, Amos became more convinced that the woman Blair encountered tonight was the missing Mable from the hospital two years ago. She seemed to have been taken away by the Muller family. However, the reason for her amnesia was still unknown.After listening to Amos's report, Blair showed no emotion on his face.Swaying the red wine, he calmly asked, "Do you think she is Spike's mother?"Amos hesitated for a moment before firmly saying, "Ye
“Hey Astrid, I heard you were called 'mommy' by a kid in the hotel last night." During breakfast, Jeremiah suddenly asked Mable.Yawning, Mable felt a headache when this topic came up. She had a sleepless night, haunted by images of Spike and his dad."Yeah, he seemed quite adorable."Jeremiah frowned slightly. A fleeting shadow passed through his eyes.He served some food to Mable, expressing concern, "In the future, if something like this happens, call the police directly. What if it's a trap, and someone intentionally uses a child to lure you into a secluded place?"Mable smiled, feeding Lemon some apple sauce. "Brother, don't worry; I've got my guard up."Jeremiah sighed helplessly. "You're just too fearless!"After breakfast, Jeremiah went upstairs to make a call to Rory."Why didn't you tell me about Blair coming to Rome?" Jeremiah knew Rory always kept an eye on Blair's movements.On the other end, Rory asked, "I just found out yesterday."Jeremiah said, "He and Astrid
When Rory knelt with a diamond ring in his hand, the song "Marry Me" echoed, and even the lights turned a romantic sky blue."Mable, marry me." Rory, holding flowers and a ring, looked at Mable, his eyes filled with deep affection.Mable stared at him with confusion, as if question marks were on her forehead. She never expected that Rory, who invited her out today, would propose."Rory, did you take the wrong medicine, or are you sick?" Mable could not help asking. She considered him a friend, and he was thinking of her becoming his wife.Looking at her, Rory said, "Yes, I'm sick, and it's an incurable disease. Mable, you are the cure for my incurable disease."Who taught him these cheesy lines?"You should get up first." Mable felt a bit embarrassed with so many people around.Rory remained kneeling and continued, "Mable, I love you. Marry me. I want to take care of you for a lifetime. I don't mind you having a daughter. I will treat Little Lemon as my own—"Mable interrupted
Solomon suddenly thought of something. "Yeah, Master Blair, you and Mable haven't divorced. If she marries Rory, it'll be bigamy."Blair frowned. "Haven't we divorced?"Why had he seen their divorce certificate at home, then?Seeing Blair staring at him, Solomon explained cautiously, "Master Blair, you've been married twice. After the first divorce, you remarried a year later."So, it was a divorce and remarriage.How much did he love her to marry her twice?At this thought, Blair's heart began to ache again. He clutched his chest, enduring the pain. His face filled with anger.This damn woman, why?! Why did she make him suffer like this?Mable did not eat. She reluctantly accepted Rory's proposal ring and flowers, dragging him out of the restaurant.Once outside, Mable took off the ring and returned it to Rory. She did not accept the roses he gave her."Rory, you know I can't marry you. Don't play this kind of joke with me!"It was too embarrassing just now. She wanted to r
