Mason was shocked at what Ava said.Zoeโs condition had been stable all this time. What caused the preterm birth?Ava tried to keep calm and spoke, โNoah went on trial not two days after you left, Mr. Mason. He was sentenced to six years of imprisonment and Mr. Gordon died from a heart attack that same night. Later, Ms. Zoe received a call about it, and the shock sent her into preterm labor.โHer answer was brief and straightforward, but the words were deafening to him.Noahโs six-year imprisonment, Gordonโs death, and the preterm birth. All of these happened at once. He couldnโt imagine the kind of pain Zoe went through and what it meant for their relationship.He was stunned for a long time before he asked, โWhat about my baby?โAva sounded a little at ease when she said, โShe's doing well. She can go home tomorrow! Where should we go now, Mr. Mason?โโฆThe black Rolls-Royce Phantom looked resplendent in the parking lot.Luke stole a glance at the rearview mirror. Masonโs ha

Silence hung over the presidential suite.Lisa pondered a little before saying, โIโll take care of Yanni for the time being! Sheโs in no condition to take care of the baby, anyway!โThen, someone opened the suiteโs door.Layla stood at the door with tears in her eyes. She came in and went on her knees before Mason.She said tearfully, โItโs my fault, Mr. Mason. I picked up the call in the study because I was worried it might disturb Ms. Zoe's rest that day. However, I didnโt understand what the person on the other end of the phone was saying and I had something on my mind too. So, I hung up.โThen, I forgot to tell Ms. Zoe about it. I swear, Iโm the one who picked up the phone that day. Ms. Zoe didnโt mean to keep it from you! Sheโs innocent. It was my fault!โLayla was old and she had worked in his manor for a long time. Zoe had been treating her rather well all this time. She was so guilty and frantic over her own actions that she started slapping both of her cheeks. She crie

Turning around, Zoe looked at him quietly. After a brief moment, she said in a resigned tone, โDonโt bother! Noah has given up on his right to appeal! You said weโll get divorced after our baby is born. All I want is Yanni. I donโt need anything else.โThe wind howled in the night.She used to be in love with him madly, but none of the love remained now. She was all drained.Mason spoke again, โPlease forgive me, Zoe. I canโt just give up on our marriage. Itโs my fault for being so harsh that day. I know Layla was the one who picked up the call fromโฆโHowever, she smiled miserably and cut him off. โDo you think an explanation is going to save our marriage, Mason?โShe and Noah lost their father that night. Then, she almost died as well as lost Yanni on the same night. There was nothing Mason could say to make up for all of that. She wasnโt sure who to blame or hate for it. All she knew was that she didnโt want to see or talk to him. Just as she started to leave, he came over,

Mason nodded, signaling the private nurses to leave them.There was now a crib in the bedroom and Yanni was sleeping in it. Her breath smelled sweet as she slept, as if everything was fine with the world.Zoe had been occupied with a lot of things ever since she was born. She had barely seen her daughter. Something stirred at her heart when she looked at Yanni, sleeping away quietly. This was the result of her eight-month pregnancy. She bore through a great deal of pain in order to give birth to Yanni and she knew it hadnโt been easy for her baby to wriggle out of her womb as well. It was all she could do to contain herself so she wouldnโt wake Yanni up. Then, she touched her babyโs face and realized it was warm!Of course, she wanted to see Yanni. This was her baby. She spent every ounce of energy to give birth to her.Mason was moved by the moment as well. He couldnโt resist hugging her from behind and speaking in a hushed voice, โLet me look after you and the baby, Zoe. Weโl

Zoe had given up on him completely.She was at deathโs door and she had lost her father. How could she not hate him? How could she sleep in the same bed with this man who brought her so much misery? If she returned to him again, then how was she supposed to answer her deceased father? If she lavished herself with the wealth he could give her, then what was the point of Noah going to jail? How was she supposed to live down the fact that she almost died that night?Underneath the chandelier, Mason stared at her in silence. After a brief moment, he said softly, โLetโs talk about our marriage later. I think I should feed Yanni first.โThe fact was, he had looked forward to having this baby. There were baby classes in his company. Although he was the director, but he did attend it for a period. That was when they hit the lowest point in their relationship. Regardless of that, he had still been eager for the birth of his baby!After making the milk, he shook the bottle gently and car

Mason gulped. He came back to his senses after a brief moment and sent the lactation specialist away.By the time he went back to the bedroom, Zoe was already dressed. She had wrapped herself tightly, leaving no exposed flesh, and looked like she was ready to leave.Underneath the crystal chandelier, he stared at her quietly, โAre you leaving?โInstead of denying it, she said, โI have to attend to some matters. Iโll be back in a few days to look at Yanni. After that, Iโll be taking her away with me!โThe chandelier shone brightly above them, but Masonโs eyes turned red. He said, โYour husband and your baby are here. Where do you think youโre going, Zoe?โWhat a way with words!She didnโt intend to fight with him. She didn't have the energy to. She merely stared at her miserably and asked him softly, โDo you still consider yourself my husband? Donโt you find that absurd? You seemed to have forgotten that you slapped me for Lilithโs sake. You also abandoned me for her when I needed

Zoe didnโt answer the question. For that matter, she couldnโt have if she wanted to. The tranquilizer was working its way through her and her eyes were slowly closing before she drifted into slumber. She was thin, weak, and devoid of her once graceful demeanor.He touched her cheek lightly, only to find her responding with tears. She was already asleep, but she was still subconsciously rejecting his touch.An intense pain filled Masonโs heart at that moment. He looked at her for quite some time before rising slowly and walking away. All of the lights in the ground-floor living room were turned on. There was a newborn in the house and that meant the servants were busy cleaning up the place and making herbal soups. Everyone had their own duty to perform.He treaded slowly when he walked downstairs. Lowering his head, he looked at the new carpet and felt as if he could still smell the blood in the air. His hands trembled out of nowhere. He took out a cigarette, but left it unlit.It

Mason sat there quietly. His expression was darker than the gloomy cell. After that, he said softly, โForget about it!โHe knew just how stubborn Noah could be. If he had decided to give up his right to appeal to the court, then he wasnโt about to change his mind. It wasnโt so much that he didnโt want the freedom as it was about him not wanting to owe Mason a favor. He was trying to protect his sister.At that moment, Mason finally realized it was too late for him to salvage the relationship.The entire Sanders family wanted nothing to do with him. In the end, he took the overnight flight back to Brookesville. It was seven oโclock by the time he made it back to the manor. The black Rolls-Royce drove past the carved metal gate and pulled into the manor.Luke said softly, โMs. Mia is here, Mr. Mason.โMason had been resting his eyes from traveling to so many places in a single night, but he opened the car door the moment he heard what Luke said. He greeted her. โHi, Mia.โIt w

In the presidential suite, the newlywed night was fiery, filled with affection and intimacy. The wedding banquet was still bustling with excitement.There was a special guest, who quietly arrived and hoped to leave just as quietly. He was afraid to disturb her mood and feared that if she saw him, she might not be pleased. However, despite his best efforts, they still crossed paths in the hallway.Gael stood quietly, watching Yanni. She had just taken Ella to the restroom, as she wasnโt comfortable leaving her alone. Besides Ella, there was another small girl with her, probably one of the twins she had with Keaton. The other twin was her brother.The twins were named Shay Bright and Drew Bright. Ella adored her younger siblings. Whenever she came home from school, she would always spend some time playing with them first. At night, she would sneak her little sister into her room and cuddle her to sleep, treating her like a little doll.At first, Yanni was quite worried, but she lat

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight bathed the earth, signaling a joyous occasion at the Sanders family home. The youngest daughter of Noah and Gwynn was finally getting married. Even more delightful, she was marrying her childhood love. Dressed in a headpiece and red bridal gown, she was as beautiful as could be, the most stunning woman Zion had ever seen.The Quarto family was busy with preparations. Although they were not extremely wealthy, Jordyn was a capable family head with a good reputation. He handled both inside and outside affairs with finesse and charm. To everyoneโs surprise, he got along very well with Mason.However, Noah had some reservations. โDon't you have any relatives of your own, Mason?โMason didnโt engage with his criticism. Together with Zoe, they helped with the wedding arrangements. A traditional Chinese wedding was far more elaborate than a Western one, but thankfully, the families had enough help to avoid any chaotic moments.During the d

That night, Jamie and Paityn returned home with their daughter Carol. As soon as they arrived, Carol went to do her homework, while Paityn went to check on their youngest son, Colten Lockwood. The housekeeper was taking care of him and, upon hearing footsteps, turned her head and softly said, "Madam, you're back? He hasn't woken up at all, he's such a good boy."Paityn smiled lightly and signaled for the housekeeper to go downstairs and rest.When the door closed, she looked down at the sleeping Colten. The little one, only eight months old, resembled his father completely; almost like a miniature copy of Jamie. Even Carol, at times, would look at her brotherโs face and marvel: "Itโs really a masterpiece from God!"Jamie replied, "You even know what a masterpiece is?"Carol teased, "A husbandโs looks are the wifeโs glory!"Paityn quietly said to Jamie, โShe must have seen a supermodel runway show."Jamie immediately asked, "Did she like it?"Paityn didn't answer, just smiled.

On the second floor, Gwen was trying on her wedding dress for tomorrow. Just as Zion had wished, it was a traditional Zutriysteinian wedding.The red wedding gown was crafted by the top artisans from Zutriystein, elegant and dignified. The headpiece she wore was adorned with wild pearls; each gem was carefully embedded, and the headpiece alone cost tens of millions. A substantial amount of money had been spent.The woman in the mirror was stunningly beautiful. Gwen gently touched her headpiece and muttered to herself, "Zion really doesnโt mind spending money on this little hobby of his."Gwynn, as a mother, patted her head. "This little girl really doesnโt know when to keep quiet, but luckily, sheโs married well and is right here beside me..."She had given a generous wedding gift, exactly the same as when Holly got married. Like Holly, Gwen didnโt want any shares of the Sanders Group. The money that Zion earned was enough to support both of them and his small hobbies.Meanwhile

Ignacio said, "We canโt take care of both of you."Holly was at a loss for words.Lucius was at that lively age, but he was raised by his father and had good manners. When he saw Ocelotte, he respectfully greeted him, saying, "Second Uncle."Ocelotte patted his little head, thinking that the boy seemed sturdier than his own children, possibly because Molly was too fragile. He made a mental note to make sure Yeager got some extra nutrients when he went back.The black Rolls-Royce Phantom sped down the highway, getting them back to the Qiao family mansion before evening.The Sanders familyโs sons had all moved out, leaving only Gwen still living at home. Holly, who rarely came back, was also staying at the house. She didnโt refuse, planning to stay for a few days before heading to Silvercrest to visit her biological parents and pay respects.The car pulled into the Sanders Residence, and the house was lit up brightly.In the courtyard parking area, luxury cars were parked everywhe

In the evening, Gwen was preparing to leave work.In the parking lot, she spotted Zionโs car, but it was empty. Just then, a school leader passed by and said to her, โZion came to school. Thereโs a donation ceremony happening in the auditorium. You should go check it out. "Then, you two can head home together afterward. On a cold day like this, a nice dinner would be perfect. What a cozy idea!โGwen playfully replied, โYou really know how to enjoy life.โThe leader, holding a bag of groceries, laughed, โSee? Your teacherโs wife has been nagging me since morning to go home and cook while babysitting the grandkids.โGwen smiled softly, watching him leave.In the sky, clouds glowed orange and yellow, their edges tinged with gold.She carried a thermos as she walked toward the auditorium. Along the way, a few students noticed her and started chirping excitedly, cheekily calling her โMs. Gwen.โGwen corrected them, โItโs Ms. Gwen.โThe students laughed and teased, โMs. Gwen! Mr. Z

Gwen stared dazedly at the man.Zion, dressed in a black coat, stood tall in the study, exuding an oppressive aura. He walked toward her and pulled the teary-eyed girl, her face streaked like a little tabby cat, into his arms. One hand gently smoothed her hair as his voice softened to the extreme, "Still saying you didnโt cry."Gwen leaned against his shoulder, mumbling, "You did it on purpose.""Are you at least a little touched?"She pounded on him twice more in response.Zion chuckled lowly, letting the girl vent while his heart ached silently.These past five years had been filled with fear and uncertainty for him. He had been afraid that before he could make a name for himself, Gwen would fall for someone else. If that happened, what could he possibly use to ask her to come back to him?The love story of a poor boy and a rich girl might've existed in novels, but the reality was often harsh.Gwen didnโt care, but he couldnโt bear to let her endure hardship.Now, as they

Zion and Gwen's marriage seemed inevitable, with no one putting up any resistance. Occasionally, Gwen even had a strange illusion.It all went so smoothly that the years of separation seemed like they had never happened, as if she and Zion had always been together. After their reunion, he didnโt even ask her about her life abroad and treated her just as he did before.She was no longer as youthful and tender, but Zion still saw her as if she were a 20-year-old girl. Gwen felt a bit dejected, thinking to herself, he must just like girls around 18-year-old.But unfortunately, the spring river flows eastward and cannot return!Zion only smiled.In winter, the days grew shorter. After work, Gwen arrived at Zion's villa, but he had not yet come home. The two housekeepers had already started preparing dinner.When Gwen got out of the car, she received a call from Zion. Her voice was soft and tender.โWhen will you be back?โOn the other end, Zion checked the time and said, โIโll be

Zion noticed Gwen gazing at him with those wide, expectant eyes again. With a chuckle, he reached into the pocket of his trench coat, pulled out a sleek wallet, and carefully extracted a platinum card. He placed it in her outstretched hand and said with a smile, โThis is my secondary card. Thereโs no credit limit.โ Gwen gasped softly, then teased, โWow, arenโt you generous? Thank you, Teacher Qin.โ Zion gave her a light tap on the head. Not missing a beat, Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck and grinned mischievously, โThank you, my sugar daddy.โ Zionโs response was to pull her close, cupping her cheeks as he kissed her fiercely. Though he once carried himself as an educator and now as a refined businessman, he found himself utterly smitten by her playful antics. After the kiss, Zion leaned close to Gwen's ear and murmured something uncharacteristically crude that sent a shiver down her spine. He playfully nipped her nose. โTurns out youโve got a thing for bad boy
