“Am I seeing it wrongly?!” Rahman rubbed his eyes again and again to confirm that his eyes were not playing tricks on him. “Mabes, why is there a portrait of you?!” Mable was also surprised to see her portrait here. ‘Who drew it?’ She held up her sign without saying a word. “Could it be that guy who has a crush on you?!” Rahman teased her. The host did not have much to say about the painting and did not mention who it was from. Nonetheless, it could be seen from the enlarged details on the projection that the painting was perfect. The subject’s eyes and expressions were very real and soulful. Mable thought that no one would bid for the painting. Unexpectedly, the owner of the opposite booth also raised his sign. The windows of each booth were one-way glass. The people inside could see outside, but not the other way around. Mable raised her sign again to raise the bid. The other party followed suit. Rahman glanced at the opposite booth several times. “I bet the p
“Could it just be someone with the same name?” Rahman asked Mable. “No, it’s him!” Mable pinched the business card hard and gritted her teeth. She could even recite Blair’s number backward! It was indeed his phone number! He was the one who bought the Ice Jade Flower and the A117 reagent. Rahman could not help but curse, “F*ck! That haunting scum!” Mable frowned, unable to figure it out. “How did he know we were here and what I wanted to buy?” Rahman held his chin. “Could he have put a tracker or bug on you?” “Impossible!” If that were the case, Blair would have caught her in the boxing ring last night. Mable suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and took out her phone to call him. However, she was redirected to his voicemail. Blair’s phone was turned off. ‘He asked me to call him, yet turned off his phone. He’s toying with me on purpose!’ Mable held back her anger and called Amos instead. As Blair’s assistant, Amos’ phone was always on. “Hello.” Mable
Blair hugged Mable tightly as he physically could. Even though they had only been separated for three days, he acted as if they were separated for three years. He felt he was going crazy by how much he missed Mable. No one had ever made him so out of control before! She could hardly breathe in Blair’s embrace. “Blair, you— Mmph!” As soon as she spoke, Blair kissed her overbearingly and with all his might.“Mmph!” Stinging pain came from her lip, and she soon tasted blood. “Mable!” Blair nibbled on Mable’s lips as if he was punishing her. He ran his thin fingers through her hair. “I really want to fuck you up!” He sounded ruthless yet lustful. Mable looked up and smirked. “Can you bear to do that?” Blair’s eyes darkened. Mable only dared to be so unruly because she was sure he would not do that to her! He lowered his head and bit her neck. “Ah!” ‘It hurts!’ The pain brought tears to Mable’s eyes. “You scumbag! Let go!” Exasperated, Mable kicked his thi
Mable thought to herself, ‘I spared him, so why wouldn’t he spare me?’ Blair was stunned for a while before he asked, “Mable, didn’t you used to love me very much?” Mable looked out the window at the clouds and forced herself to hold back the pain in her heart. “I… don’t love you anymore.” Loving someone who did not love her back was very painful. She feared it and did not want to torture herself this way anymore. Blair clenched his fists and held back his fury. ‘Don’t love me anymore?’ Neither of them spoke for a while. The cabin became quiet. Just when Mable thought Blair would explode, he said gently, “It’s okay if you don’t love me. So be it as long as you stay by my side.” Mable froze. However, she soon smiled teasingly. “Blair, do you have a screw loose?” Blair held her hand and told her, “Mable, I have enough time and patience. I’ll wait for you to fall in love with me again.” Mable was speechless.“Let’s remarry when you fall in love with me again, okay?”
“There was a little mishap. I haven’t gotten it yet,” Mable answered. “Hm?” The man on the other end of the phone was a little unhappy. “A little mishap… Yet, you couldn’t solve it?” Mable said faintly, “It can be solved, but I need some time. You’re not in a hurry anyway.” The man responded to her and asked, “I heard the Ice Jade Flower was also at Salomon’s auction. Did you get it?” Mable answered, “...Not yet.” “Trash!” “Why don’t you come yourself if you’re so capable?!” Mable told him off. If Blair had not shown up, she would have gotten those items long ago. The man fell silent before he said, “Wifey, you don’t have much time left.” He could wait, but she could not afford to! Mable’s eyes flickered. She gripped her phone tightly. “I know.” … Meanwhile, across the ocean. Inside an ancient castle under Linders Range, a tall and slender man stood on the spacious balcony. The night breeze was chilly. Under the moonlight, he seemed shrouded in warmth. H
Mable got down from the car and looked coldly at the luxurious mansion in front of her. In the two years she was married to Blair, she had only been to the Fowler Residence several times. Every time she came, she was either criticized by Martha or bullied by the Fowlers’ relatives. Everyone knew she was not favored by Blair and was so weak that even the servants bullied her. Once, Martha punished her for pouring tea that was too hot by making her kneel in the garden for the whole afternoon. She fainted due to heat stroke, but everyone ignored her. In the end, it was Tracey who arrived in time to take her to the hospital. Therefore, Mable did not have good memories of the Fowler Residence. Seeing that she was not moving, the maid urged her, “Why are you still standing there? Aren’t you going in?!” As the maid spoke, she reached out to push Mable’s shoulder. Mable grabbed the maid’s hand and slapped her in the face. The maid was dumbfounded. She held her face as she scr
Martha’s smile froze. “Blair doesn’t love you, so how could he possibly want to remarry you?!” “You’ll have to ask him yourself,” Mable answered. Luke stared at Mable leisurely. “Don’t even think about remarrying! I’ll give you three days to leave Richworth. You’re not allowed to appear in front of Blair again for the rest of your life!” “What if I don’t do as you say?” Mable could not stand it when someone was so arrogant toward her. Luke’s gaze turned cold, and he gave off the pressure of a superior. “I’m not discussing this with you—I’m ordering you!” Mable’s eyes were even colder than his. “Mr. Fowler, the last person who dared to talk to me like that has long been buried!” Luke’s face changed. After living most of his life, it was the first time someone had the nerve to talk to him in this manner. ‘Ha! ‘A woman who doesn’t know her place!’ Luke raised his hand without saying a word. Soon, six bodyguards came in a line and surrounded Mable. Martha elegantly to
Blair caressed Mable’s head. “Don’t underestimate my family.” The Fowlers were not easy to deal with. In particular, Luke. Mable pouted and did not say anything. She had heard a thing or two about the Fowlers. It was said that Luke grew up in bad health, so he was not valued despite being the eldest son. On the other hand, his two younger brothers were very smart and were the focus of the family since they were young. Back then, his brothers stirred up a storm fighting to be in charge of the family. Unexpectedly, Luke, who was known to the public as a useless and sickly child, ended up as the head of the family. What was even more surprising was the first thing he did after taking over the family was deal with his brothers… Rahman was the one who told Mable about these secrets. He wanted her to stay away from the Fowlers. After all, Blair was Luke’s son. He was cunning and most likely just as ruthless as his father. … Before Blair and Mable entered the house of the
