Blair held Spike's hand, his gaze piercing as he looked at Mable. His voice filled with a threatening tone. "If I see you near my son again, I'll end you!"Mable took a cold breath. His fierce gaze made her realize he meant every word. At this moment, a word echoed in Mable's mindโโTyrant!โDamn, he was always threatening to end someone's life. This man is a dangerous individual.Spike anxiously looked at Blair, explaining, "Dad, I came to find Mommy on my own. It wasnโtโ"Blair interrupted Spike, "She's not your mommy!"Even if she were, he would not allow Spike to accept her! She had taken another man's proposal and was about to start a new family. They had nothing to do with each other anymore.Spike looked at Blair with a bit of grievance. "Dad."Blair did not say another word, leading Spike out of the restaurant.Mable stood there, a mix of emotions in her heart. The DNA test results had not come out, so she could not be a hundred percent sure that Spike was her son. She c
Spike sighed like a little adult.Muller Manor.Mable returned home with a heavy heart. Lemon was playing with dolls in the living room. When she saw Mable return, she dropped the doll, reaching out to be picked up. "Mommy. Hugs.""Good Little Lemon, Mommy will pick you up after washing her hands."Mable washed her hands and lifted Lemon, placing her on her lap and kissing her soft little face. Lemon pointed toward the garden, wanting to play outside. "Mommy. Flowers, look, fragrant."Many peach trees in the mansion's backyard were in full bloom this season, filling the air with a faint peach blossom fragrance."Sure. Mommy will take Little Lemon to see the flowers."Mable put a hat on Lemon and then carried her to the garden. Sitting on the swing with Lemon in her arms, Mable looked at the surrounding peach blossom trees, lost in thought.The Muller Manor was large, with two separate cottages behind the peach forest. Since returning to the Muller family two years ago, she had
Jeremiah took out a document and handed it to Mable, then continued, โBlair Fowler has a hereditary mental illness. Heโs insane. After you lost your memory, I didnโt want you to have any connection with him, so I told you that he was dead.โAs for the child, I thought you would find Blair if you knew you had a son, which would lead to more entanglement with him. Thatโs why I kept it a secret and didnโt tell you.โJeremiah looked at Mable and patted her shoulder, saying, โAstrid, Iโm sorry for lying to you, but you have to believe that I wonโt harm you. Iโm your family.โMable stared blankly at the medical report in her hand belonging to Blair. It clearly documented his medical history from adolescence to twenty-six.He indeed had a hereditary mental disorder.โI know you did it for my own good, but...โA strong sense of guilt surged in her heart when she thought of Spike.The first time he saw her, he cried and said he missed her. However, as his mother, she had completely forgo
Solomon saw Mableโs wary face and smiled wryly. โWhatโs that look for? Iโm not a bad person.โโThatโs usually what bad people say.โSolomon was speechless.He did not know how to respond to that.โI want to see Spike. Can you take me to him?โMable paused, then added, โI know heโs Blair and my son...โโYouโve regained your memory?โโNo. Spike showed me pictures of us, and I took him for a DNA test yesterday.โSolomon paused. So, that was why.โI can take you to see Spike, but you have to answer a question of mine first.โMable said, โGo ahead.โSolomon stared at her probingly. โHow did you lose your memory?โMable looked back at him. She wondered what he would ask, but it turned out to be this.โThe doctor said itโs due to shock.โโShock?โ Solomon looked at her in confusion. Was it not because of poisoning?โMable, you...โMable interrupted him. โIโve answered your question. You should take me to Spike now.โSolomon fell silent.He took her upstairs. โSpike is in the
โSpike!โMable crouched down and hugged Spike tightly.At that moment, her heart filled with guilt toward him. Her nose stung with tears.โIโm sorry. I didnโt mean to forget you. Can you forgive me, Spike?โSpikeโs eyes lit up as he looked at his mother in joy. โMommy, did you regain your memories?โMableโs guilt deepened. โNo. I went to get the DNA test results we did yesterday. Iโm sorry...โBlair looked at Mable and Spike. It turned out they did a DNA test.Although Spike was a bit disappointed, he still mustered up his spirits and smiled, shaking his head. โItโs okay. Iโm happy as long as you know Iโm your child...โโWhy is your voice so hoarse?โMable touched Spikeโs face and realized that not only was his voice hoarse, but his face was also a bit warm.โSpike, are you running a fever?โBlairโs voice sounded. โHurry up and lie down inside!โMable turned to glare at Blair and snapped, โBlair Fowler, canโt you speak nicely? Donโt raise your voice!โBlairโs gaze was shar
Blair stood up and walked out.In the kitchen, Mable was crouched on the ground, picking up a broken bowl.It had been a long time since she cooked, and her movements were a bit rusty. She accidentally dropped the bowl on the floor.โMommy, are you okay?โ Spike also ran out when he heard the noise.โIโm fine. Go back to your room and lie down. Donโt come out again.โAfter coaxing Spike back into the room, Mable turned around and saw that Blair had stood behind her at some point. He stared at her expressionlessly.Mable was startled.Blair had one hand in his pocket and said coldly, โIโm warning you. Donโt have any ideas about my son!โMableโs tone was equally cold. โSpike is my son, too!โThe twoโs eyes seemed to shoot sparks.Just as the atmosphere was about to reach freezing point, the sound of the kettle came from the kitchen.Mable ignored Blair and quickly walked over to turn off the kettle.She picked up the kettle, poured hot water into the pot, and started to cook.
Mable applied the salve to herself and went to the bedroom to accompany Spike.Spikeโs temperature was a bit high, so Mable measured his temperature once in a while and used alcohol-soaked towels to wipe his neck and forehead to bring the temperature down.After Blair finished cooking, Mable fed Spike half the bowl and let him take some medicine.Spike felt a bit drowsy after taking the medicine.Mable rubbed his head and said gently, โTake a nap, Spike.โSpike pulled his motherโs hand, asking pitifully, โMommy, will you leave if I fall asleep?โMable squeezed his hand, her heart aching. โNo, Iโll be right here with you. Iโll be here even when you wake up.โSpike nodded. Feeling reassured, he closed his eyes to sleep.Blair stood at the door and looked at Mable sitting by the bed, his expression dark.As if sensing the gaze at the door, Mable lifted her head and looked at Blair.She remembered what her brother said. Blair imprisoned her, tortured her, and forced her to carry
Solomon followed behind Tracey and was puzzled when he saw Blair sitting on the sofa. โMaster Blair?โThere was supposed to be an important meeting this afternoon. Why was Blair in the hotel?Solomon then looked at Mable with a strange gaze.Blair looked at Tracey, hugging Mable in tears, and turned to look at Solomon. โDid you bring her here?โSolomon cleared his throat. โTracey found out that we found Mable and couldnโt wait to see her...โMable gently pushed away the woman hugging her, and frowned slightly. โMiss, can you calm down?โโMabes?โTracey wiped her tears and held Mableโs hand. โMabes, donโt you remember me? Iโm Tracey Fowler. We were very close before.โโTracey Fowler...โ Mable muttered the name and shook her head in confusion.She could not remember anything.โMabes.โTracey looked at her sadly. Although Solomon told her about Mableโs condition through the phone, she still found it hard to accept when she saw it with her own eyes.Mable pointed to Blair and a
โArthur proposed to Tracey?!โIn 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. โYeah, Arthur proposed to her today. Trace called to say theyโll prepare for the wedding after they return from their trip.โโThatโs great!โMable was sincerely happy for Tracey and Arthur.She asked Blair, โDo they have any ideas for the wedding? We can help them prepare in advance.โBlair said, โWe can call Trace and ask.โMable 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, โIโll call her tomorrow.โGetting 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 Zoeโs 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. โItโs been a long time since you called me that.โZoe 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. โThatโs what I used to call you, but you tricked me into calling you Ky.โShe 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 Zoeโs cheek and said, โZoe, Iโve never told you this, but I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. It was love at first sight.โI want you to stay by my side forever and let me stay by your side forever. Iโll never let you go again in this lifetime.โZoeโs eyes slowly reddened as she listened to Kyleโs heartfelt words.Indeed, she never knew he fell in love with her at first sight...They both did.Kyle gently wiped away her tears. โZoe, I promise you. Weโll only part in death, never in life.โZoe choked and nodded, burying her face in his chest as she cried.In her arms, Six seemed to sense his motherโs emotions and moved restlessly.Zoe quickly comforted him.โLet me.โ 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. โZoe, youโre awake. How do you feel?โZoe stared at the man in front of her and blinked, feeling shocked.When she did not answer, Kyle immediately became nervous. โWhatโs wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?โZoe remained silent and continued to stare at him. Her eyes gradually turned red, and her nose tingled with a strong sense of sourness.Kyleโs heart clenched at the sight. โZoe, donโt scare me like this. Zoe...โHe was getting anxious and was just about to call the doctor when she suddenly grabbed his hand. โI... Iโm okay. I just had a nightmare. Iโm a bit groggy after waking up.โKyle hugged her, his warm hand gently patting her back. โItโs okay. Iโve been by your side all along.โZoe buried her face in his shoulder, softly humming without saying anything.At that mom
โI see.โOutside the delivery room, Kyleโs family and the others were still waiting anxiously.Close to midnight, the door finally opened, and the nurse carried the baby out.โItโs a boy. Both mother and son are safe.โEveryone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.Before long, Zoe was pushed out. Monica checked on the baby before hurriedly walking to Zoeโs side and taking her hand. โZoe, you did so well.โโIโm okay, Mom.โZoe 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 latterโs pale face, but she smiled and said, โCongratulations, Zoe.โZoe 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, โIsnโt Zoeโs due date still about ten days away? Why did it suddenly come early?โMonica said, โWeโre 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...โSeeing Mable stare anxiously at the delivery room, Blair held her hand and comforted her. โDonโt worry. Zoe has been healthy her whole pregnancy. There shouldnโt be any problems.โMable nodded. โYeah, I hope both the mother and child are safe.โSoon, Solomon and Ines also arrived.Solomon greeted Kyleโs parents and asked, โHow
Without saying anything, Solomon placed his behind Inesโ 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 servantโs voice came from outside. โSir, dinner is ready.โSolomon hugged Ines and cleared his throat. โGot it. Weโll be right there.โThe servant acknowledged and left.Ines buried her head in Solomonโs chest and took a deep breath before saying, โLetโs go. Donโt want your parents to wait too long.โโYeah.โSolomon stroked her head and looked at the drawing he had just completed. โOnce itโs dry, Iโll have it framed and hang it in the bedroom, okay?โInes asked, โIn this bedroom?โSolomon nodded and kissed her forehead. โYeah, weโll probably come back to stay here often in the future.โInes pursed her lips and smiled silently.โLetโs go have dinner.โ Solomon led her downstairs.After having dinner at the Rowland residence, Solom
Solomon embraced Ines from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. โI learned to draw when I was young and almost did fine arts for college.โโWhy didnโt you?โWinning first prize in a national art competition indicated a high level of drawing skill.Solomon said, โPainting is just one of my many interests. I do it to pass the time when Iโm bored. Iโve never thought of becoming an artist.โInes nodded. โI see.โSolomon suddenly perked up and opened a small cabinet beside the bookshelf, taking out a canvas and some paints. โCome on, Iโll draw a portrait.โInes was stunned. โOf me?โโYep. Give me a moment.โSolomon 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. โI was just thinking about what to bring to your house tomorrow. I canโt go empty-handed...โSolomon laughed at her words. โYou donโt need to bring anything. Just seeing you will make them happy.โโThat wonโt do. I still need to buy something.โAlthough she knew that Solomonโs 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. โCan you tell me what your parents are like?โSolomon noticed her nervousness and squeezed her hand. โDonโt worry. My mom and dad are very nice. They wonโt make things difficult for you.โInes 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 Solomonโs house tomorrow.After buying everything, th
