"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
Spike listened to Blair’s phone call before quietly returning to his bedroom. Blair wanted to divorce his mom! ‘After finally finding Mommy, how could he do this?’Spike felt sad. No, he must stop Dad! However, now, Dad felt upset just thinking about Mommy. Spike sat on the bed for a while, eventually deciding to start with Mommy. If Mommy could regain her memory, it may awaken Dad's memory. With this in mind, Spike took out his laptop from his backpack, connected to the hotel WIFI, and quickly hacked into the surveillance system. Then, he found the car Mommy took when leaving the hotel the other night through its license plate. Using the car's license plate, Spike found Mommy's address. "Muller Manor." That was the place! Spike noted down the address, ready to visit Mommy early tomorrow.The following day, Blair received the divorce agreement from his lawyer. He printed it and picked up a pen. A woman who would abandon her husband and son showed she did not l
“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
