“Then be obedient,” Blair said. Mable gritted her teeth hard, wanting to bite him to death! Blair wrapped his hands around her waist and softened his tone. “Howard isn’t a good person. Stay away from him!” Mable rolled her eyes at him. “I don’t think you’re a good person either!” The hands on her waist suddenly tightened. Caught off guard, she was pressed against Blair’s chest. Blair stared at her. “It’s true. I’m not a good person, but I won’t hurt you, Mabes.” Mable was stunned and moved. Afraid he would see through her mind, she quickly avoided his eyes and looked out the window. “Give me your hand!” Blair said. Mable hesitated before she stretched out her left hand. “What…?” Before she could finish, a cake box was placed in her hand. ‘This is…’ Blair said, “They launched a new mousse cake today. It was on the way, so I bought it.” The driver was taken aback by his words.‘On the way? ‘How is an hour detour on the way?’ Mable looked at the cake in her
The morning sun was blazing. In the open space outside the villa, two rows of dazzling supercars were lined up. They were in all kinds of colors. There were the McLaren P1 LM, LykanHypersport, Lamborghini Veneno Roadster, Koenigsegg One: 1, and so on. Mable was stunned when she saw the supercars. She pointed at them and asked, “...Who’s the extravagant show-off?!” Tracey smiled excitedly. “Who else? My brother, of course!” Mable was speechless.All of the cars were global limited editions. Each cost at least a million dollars, and they were not something one could just buy with money. For instance, even Rahman, who loved cars as much as he did his life, had been thinking of getting the LykanHypersport for a year. However, he could not get his hands on it. “Why did he buy so many cars?” Mable asked. Blair was rich, but buying so many supercars in one go must have cost a fortune. Tracey looked enviously at Mable. “For you, of course.” Mable was confused by her word
According to the laws of Dorland, kidnapping and murder were punishable by the death penalty. Amos left after reporting the matter. Blair did not go to work as it was the weekend. Mable wanted to avoid seeing him at home, so she went to the hospital after breakfast. Jacob’s condition had stabilized. He could start rehab after another week of observation. When Mable went to the ward to see him, Hannah happened to be there too. As the two quarreled, the atmosphere in the ward was slightly awkward. “Dr. Jefferson, you’re here.” Compared to last time, Hannah’s attitude toward Mable was much better. Mable nodded and asked Jacob, “How do you feel today?” “Not bad.” Mable gave him a checkup and talked to him about some things he would be doing during rehab at a later stage. In the end, she added, “Before you go through rehab, it’s best to massage your legs for an hour or two every day. There’s a physio center in Richworth with skilled practitioners. You can book an appoi
As soon as Mable heard Blair’s words, she knew he had followed her. Otherwise, how would he know she was currently eating with Howard? Mable gripped her phone tightly and turned red with anger. ‘That scumbag actually followed me!’ “What’s the matter?” Howard asked her. Mable hung up the phone. “Nothing.” Why did she have to go out just because Blair asked her to? She refused to do it! Mable ordered a few more dishes and decided to have a good meal. Soon, their food was served. Howard suddenly asked, “Ms. Jefferson, are you still living with Master Blair?” “Can you not mention him?” Even the mention of Blair’s name made her furious. Howard nodded with a faint smile and poured some water for her. Mable ate leisurely and asked, “Howard, I injured your brother’s hand. Aren’t you going to avenge him?” She was rather surprised when Howard lent her his car at the race track yesterday. She had broken one of Henry’s fingers. Instead of taking revenge on her, Howard
20 minutes later at the Royal View Villa. Mable and Blair arrived almost at the same time. Mable got out of the car and looked at Blair, who was walking toward her. She was prepared to scold him fiercely. However, he directly carried her on his shoulder and strode into the house. “Blair, let go of me!” Mable was angry and anxious. She slapped Blair’s back with all her might. Nonetheless, Blair was unmoved and quickly carried her to the bedroom. With a bam, the bedroom door slammed shut. Then, Mable was thrown hard onto the bed. Before she could get up, Blair clasped her face and forcefully pressed down on her. He kissed her intensely and did not let her catch her breath. He was eager, as if he was going to devour her. “Mmph… B… Blair…” Who would kiss so roughly? He was simply trying to tear her apart and eat her. Mable’s lips cracked from the kiss. She could also taste some blood. “...Let go!” The more Mable resisted, the harder Blair kissed. By now, Mable was
Mable called Amos and asked about the cause of the incident. It turned out that Blair did not follow her. He went to the hospital to deliver her lunch, only to see her and Howard in the parking lot. So, he followed them to the restaurant. Mable went downstairs to the kitchen and saw the two lunch boxes Amos had brought back. She opened them and saw that one of them had rice with a heart-shaped fried egg on top. The other lunch box had a top and bottom compartment. It contained a total of three dishes comprising meat and vegetables. The food looked average, but the plating was nice. “Mabes, you have no idea. Blair failed five times in frying an egg. When cooking a simple vegetable dish, he overcooked it once and added too much salt the other time. “The only thing he didn’t fail too many times making was the prawns. Look, he even peeled them for you…” Aunt Grace said from the side, “Sir also burned his hand while cooking. However, he didn’t care about putting medicine on it
As soon as Mable turned around, she met Blair’s deep and dark eyes. Blair put out his cigarette indifferently. “Get out!” “If I go just because you tell me to, wouldn’t that make me look bad?!” Mable walked over and sat next to him. She saw at a glance a red and swollen blister on the back of his left hand. “Why didn’t you treat your wound?” She was about to treat it for him when he put his hand into his pocket. “What are you doing? Don’t move!” Mable forcefully tugged at his wrist. “It’ll get infected if you don’t take care of it.” She took out iodine swabs from the medical kit. Blair stared at her and let her attend to the injury on his hand. Mable used a fine needle to pick through the blister, then sterilized it before applying some medicine. Lastly, she wrapped the wound briefly with breathable gauze. “Blair, I’m sorry.” Mable’s voice was suddenly heard. She lowered her head and did not dare to look up at Blair. “When I received your call, I thought you w
Blair hung up the phone and immediately called Amos. “Prepare the helicopter…” Mable sat on the sofa and stared at him while he was on the phone. She was upset. If she guessed right, the phone call was about Liv. There was news of her. Without further ado, Blair went back to his room to change after calling out his orders to Amos. As if he suddenly remembered that Mable was still in the study, he came back and said to her, “I have to go out for a while. Be good at home and call me if anything happens.” Mable nodded stiffly. “Your hand—” She wanted to remind him not to get water on his wound, but before she could say it, his phone rang again. He answered the call and went downstairs. As Mable watched him disappear, a sense of sadness welled up inside her. Soon, the sound of helicopter propellers came from the back garden. Mablr ran downstairs, only to find Blair boarding the helicopter. This scene was the same as the night she regained her memory two months ago.
“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
