The chauffeur remained quiet for a moment.โYour thoughtfulness moved me more than any amount of money ever could, Ms. Gwynn.โHe proceeded to tell her everything he knew. โMs. Gianna was infuriated after she saw the paper. She downed a whole bottle of whiskey and I had to send her to the hospital in the middle of the night.โThe next evening, Mr. Noah visited her and stayed there for about three hours.โGee. Three hours. She giggled faintly.He proceeded gingerly. โMs. Gianna was so happy that she bought a hand-tailored gown after she was discharged. One of the servants was a blabbermouth and she told me that the gown was worth a million dollars. On top of that, she bought it with Mr. Noahโs bank card.โThen, he stopped, not wanting to upset her. Picking up the cup of tea, she took a sip of the Earl Grey tea. She said halfheartedly, โNoah mustโve done a wonderful job at soothing her.โThe chauffeur was a simple man. He thought all of this was simply about two ladies vying f
It was the middle of Autumn now. In the blink of an eye, it was the day the prominent, wealthy man was about to have a wedding ceremony for his son. Gianna got up early in the morning and freshened herself up. After she put on the makeup, she changed into the hand-tailored white gown. She needed to be at the chapel before ten oโclock and shock everyone with how absolutely beautiful she looked. She needed everyone to know how much better and more beautiful she was than Gwynn. She was more suited to be Noahโs wife. She spent an exuberant amount of money on her appearance. The makeup artists alone cost her three hundred thousand dollars. There was more. She spent a whopping hundred thousand dollars on a limousine too. However, all of this wasnโt enough to satisfy her. She wanted to become Noahโs wife!It was half past eight when she set out for the wedding ceremony. Sitting in the backseat, she couldnโt wait to see the look of awe on Noahโs face when he saw her. She might e
Noah was busy fooling around with Gwynn in the fitting room. She wore a silver fringe dress today. Her fair, perky skin looked exceptionally graceful and elegant and her breasts were practically calling out for people to glance at it. Mirrors were everywhere in the spacious fitting room. He looked so burly that it made her look all the more slender. Her sultry pleas made his eyes turn redder. He kept rousing her desires. Breathing his hot breath onto the side of her neck, he said, โYouโre clinging to me so tightly. I canโt believe youโre still saying you donโt want itโฆโShe was pregnant. So, her breasts were just deliciously ample.He couldnโt help but pleasure her at the sight of it. His phone, which was kept in his suitโs pocket, kept flashing, indicating an incoming phone call. However, Gwynn had turned it to silent mode. As for Noah, he was completely engrossed in his lust. How was he supposed to care about his phone?He kept pestering Gwynn and eventually had sex with
However, Noah didnโt hear her. All he could think about was Gianna. He left in such a hurry that he was completely oblivious to the fact that the baby girl he had looked forward to for so long was dead in her motherโs belly now.He left angrily, leaving Gwynn to suffer the pain all by herself. She wobbled and was about to fall at any given moment. Holding her belly, she stared at the dripping blood as it stained the carpet.How ironic. It wasnโt five minutes ago that Noah had held her and said. โLetโs live happily ever after, Gwynn.โ Then, he immediately slapped her for Giannaโs sake.That was the thing about his words. They meant nothing!Gwen was still descending her womb. The pain was unbearable. She had to arch her body and support herself with the wall as she dragged herself to the stairs. Then, she shouted weakly. โGladysโฆ GladysโฆโIt just so happened that the old servant was downstairs.She heard her mistress and raised her eyes. That was when she saw Gwynn on the se
Kim wasnโt sure where to begin. Looking at Noah, she said softly, โMs. Gwynn had a miscarriage, Mr. Noah! The doctor said it happened because her belly suffered severe blunt trauma. Theyโve already removed the remains of your unborn baby in her belly.โHe was shocked to his core. He had all but forgotten about the cigarette between his fingers. In fact, he couldnโt care about anything other than what Kim told him.โTheyโve already removed the remains of your unborn baby in her belly.โIt was late in autumn. The yellowed leaves outside the window were already falling. On the other side of the window, a stunning man dressed in a white shirt fell into a daze for a long time. It seemed as if he was having a hard time processing the information!Kim also felt awful on the inside. She said with a choked-up voice, โMs. Gwynn is resting in the hospital as we speak. Sheโs weak. Are you going to stay with Ms. Gianna or Ms. Gwynn, Mr. Noah?โBefore she had even gotten to the end of her
Gwynn withdrew her hand. She wasnโt in the mood to let him explain. In fact, she didnโt want him to stay by his side. Tears rolled off the corner of her eyes. She murmured, โI donโt want to see you.โPulling the blanket over her head, she cried out of anguish. Noah would certainly feel the loss of his stillborn baby girl. He might be heartbroken for the next several days. However, it would all fade into the back of his mind once enough time passed. The same couldnโt be said for Gwynn, though. After all, the baby was a part of her. Once she miscarried her own baby, it felt as if she had lost a part of herself. Nothing could make her forget this pain for the rest of her life. โฆNoah stayed by her side for the entire night. The next day, he had to return to the villa because he had an important business meeting. The blood in the fitting room was already cleaned up without a trace. However, he could still smell the lingering smell of it in the air. Opening the wardrobe, he
After a brief moment, he said softly, โIโm staying here with you. Iโm not going anywhere!โShe smiled ever so faintly. However, she didnโt expose his crappy lies. Instead, she went along with him and watched coldly as he tried and failed to act like a loyal husband and a good father.She was no longer moved by his words. She knew better than anyone that his promise was akin to Cinderellaโs pair of glass slippers. Once the clock struck twelve, the magic would be lost and he would be returned to his former, hideous self. Noah stayed with her the entire day. He even turned off his phone. Then, Lorian finally couldnโt stand it when evening rolled on. His head kept drooping in exhaustion, but he stubbornly refused to fall asleep.Carrying his son up, he said tenderly, โIโm taking him home so he can get some sleep. Weโll be here again first thing in the morning.โShe merely stared at him quietly. He had turned off his phone for the entire day. That meant he was going to visit Gia
Gladys was startled. โWhere are you going at a time like this, Ms. Gwynn?โLowering her head, her eyebrows trembled slightly.After a brief moment, she smiled faintly. โItโs all going to be over soon. Iโm about to win back my freedom.โThe old servant couldnโt get what she was trying to say. However, it was clear that her mistress had a plan. Just look at what Gwynn had done to Gianna. Her mistress had the homewreckerโs foot amputated and her uterus surgically removed. That was something that took guts! It was an understatement to say that she was deeply impressed by her mistress. After all, Gwynn couldnโt even bring herself to kill a cockroach in the past.Gladys proceeded to relay her orders to the chauffeur. Then, she helped her mistress to put on a fresh set of clothes. Once they were done, she wrapped a deep-colored cashmere scarf around Gwynnโs neck. She said in a heartbroken tone, โLet me go with you, Ms. Gwynn! I canโt help but get worried about you.โGwynn held the ol
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
