Master Blair's Fiery Pursuit

Chapter 40

Clack.

After hanging up, Mable casually threw the phone on the coffee table.

Blair curled her hair at her temple and smiled faintly. “Dear, are you jealous?”

Mable ruffled her half-dried hair and pushed him away. “Get lost!”

“You ungrateful woman, you’re turning against me after using me.”

“As if you didn’t use me just now.”

Blair did not want to be calculative. He turned off the blow dryer and ran his fingers through her hair, gently massaging her scalp.

“I’ll massage you.”

Mable moaned softly as she enjoyed it. She felt a tingling sensation rising from her tailbone, and her body unconsciously relaxed. As a result, she leaned back into his arms.

“I didn’t expect you to be an expert in this. It’s a pity you’re not a masseur.”

Seeing that Mable was enjoying it, he asked after a moment of silence, “Since I’m serving you so dutifully, shouldn’t you answer my previous question?”

“Hm?”

Mable opened her eyes and happened to look into his deep but bright eyes.

Her heart seemed to have skipped a beat.

Blair’s features were stunning. In particular, his eyes were so dazzling. It was as though they could suck her in.

“Are you in awe?”

Blair’s attractive voice pulled Mable back to her senses.

“Narcissist!”

Mable looked away in embarrassment and sat up. “What did you say?”

Blair paused before he answered, “Hugh is the CEO of Earl Security Group and the boss of a mercenary corps. Yet, he addresses you as Boss.”

Mable’s eyes flickered. She did not think he knew Hugh’s identity.

“What do you want to know?”

Blair sat up straight and asked seriously, “Mable, what do you have to do with the mercenary corps?”

He knew Mable must have other identities. While he did not want to ask her at first, the boss of a mercenary corps was a sensitive identity, and it was too dangerous. He must hear it from her. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

However, Mable was unwilling to answer his question.

There were many things about her that she was not going to tell Blair.

“Blair, can you stay out of my business?!” Mable looked coldly at him.

Blair frowned slightly. “We’re husband and wife!”

Seeing as he was ready to get to the bottom of everything, Mable smiled faintly and said, “If you answer my question, I’ll tell you.”

“Okay. Go ahead.”

Mable asked him, “What’s with you and your first love, Liv?”

Blair’s face darkened, and his face tensed up.

Mable watched him and lowered her face as she smiled.

She knew his face would change at the mention of the woman named Liv.

Blair responded with a cold face, “Ask something else.”

Mable drew distance with him and leaned on the other end of the sofa. “See? Don’t you have questions you don’t want to answer too? Since that’s the case, I won’t pursue your past with Liv, and you don’t ask about my affairs—”

Blair forcefully interrupted her. “Other than Liv, you can ask about anything else.”

“Ha.”

Mable looked coolly at him. “I can’t mention her nor ask about her. It seems she’s not only your first love but an unerasable wound in your heart!”

His heart would ache whenever the wound was touched. It was as if it would kill him.

Blair was displeased. “Mable, how can you be so mean?!”

Mable was unhappy, to begin with. When Blair’s words got to her head, she stood up abruptly from the sofa.

“Blair, not only am I mean when I talk, but I’m also mean in everything I do! Since you can’t forget about Liv, stay away from me. Don’t even think about using me as her replacement!”

After she finished, she left and slammed the door in anger.

“Hugh.”

“Boss, what happened?”

“Go get the car. We’re staying in the hotel!”

She did not want to be here for another moment!

Blair came back to his senses and hurriedly ran downstairs. At this time, Mable had reached the courtyard.

“Mable! Stop right there!”

Since when had he used her as a replacement?

She was so quick to accuse him and wanted to leave just because they were in disagreement. She simply wanted to go against him.

Mable ignored him and was ready to get into the car.

“Mable!”

Blair rushed forward when a red light flashed past his eyes.

Next, he saw a red dot appear at the back of Mable’s head.

Blair widened his eyes and darted toward her.

“Watch out!”
