Leaving You Bereft Chapter 403
Melanie woke up early in the morning. The air was thin in winter. New Year drew close, and the Ziegler family's household staff went out to make purchases and prepare for the upcoming holiday. Cars drove in and out of the porch, and black smoke billowed endlessly into the air, painting a scene of constant bustle.Among the liveliness, however, there existed a lonely figure. Dexter stood on the balcony on the second floor, wearing a black outfit that was a stark contrast to the festive season in the morning. That said, he was tall and imposing, not to mention the startlingly good looks he inherited from the Ziegler family gene. Definitely eye candy, but he was haunted by a sense of dejection.If anything, Dexter didn't look like someone who was ready for the New Year, let alone his marriage. Melanie was staring at him when Karen walked past her hurriedly. She immediately called out to her and asked, "What's wrong with Dexter? What's with the sour face? "We're about to celebr

The night was cloaked in tranquility. Michael's car slowly pulled into the manor. Maisie, Sawyer, and Tina got out of the vehicle, and the place immediately came alive with a buzz. After a day of horsing around, they fell into a deep slumber the moment their heads touched the soft, comfortable pillows. Michael returned to the master bedroom and found Eleanor in the walk-in closet. She was about to change out of her outfit and slip into something more comfortable when he stopped her, his voice smooth as velvet."Wait a minute. Let me admire you for a little moment." Holding her slender waist, he spoke in a soft and tender tone. "I hadn't had time to get a good look at you."Eleanor blushed a little from the loving words he uttered. Carrying her up, he set her down gently on the gilded makeup table before lowering his head and kissing her. His lips pressed against her delicate chin. Then, he worked his way up slowly to her cheek before finally lingering at her lips. Eleanor's

Emily wanted to have her wedding ceremony here at Leisure Abode. The Shelton family might've been cultured and refined, but they were far from being prestigious and wealthy. It cost 30 thousand dollars per table to host a wedding ceremony in this restaurant, and they had to have about 50 tables in total. What was worse, the Sutton family didn't offer anything but their unwanted advice. The Sheltons were far from being gullible fools. Emily started making a fuss outside. "Admit it. Your family doesn't respect me and the baby in my belly. Not only were they not willing to reserve a private room, but they also went with the cheapest route for our ceremony.At first, Russell soothed her a little, but she continued to be difficult. Eventually, he fell silent. It was clear that he'd had enough of her tiresome manners. It was a good thing that Declan was there to back Emily up. He hurriedly stepped forward and talked to Russell. "Russell, don't let her get to you. Her mother spoiled

The next afternoon, Erika went to the manor with a bunch of wedding gifts. Eleanor had nothing better to do. So, she sat in the living room, unwrapped the presents, and wrote the sender's name down so she could return the kind gesture in the future.As she opened the black velvet box, revealing an exquisite emerald gemstone, priceless beyond imagination. It was an anonymous gift, but she knew who gave it to them, and the knowledge left her feeling stunned. Michael came in, and he just so happened to see the dazed look on Eleanor's face. Turning his gaze to the object in her hand, he understood what was going on. So, he said in a natural tone, "Keep it. It's going to be our daughter's future wedding gift. He made her with you, and it's only right that he covers some of her expenses."Eleanor raised her head and looked at Michael. She knew deep down that he didn't care about it. He merely said what he said to lighten the mood and keep her from feeling embarrassed. After all, De

All of a sudden, Eleanor looked at the gate, and she saw Dexter. He stood beneath the winter sun with a look of despondency on his face as he stared at her, still wearing yesterday's outfit.His obscene picture on Twitter flashed in her mind again, and a pang of irony struck her heart.Fate had led them to this point, why still pretend to be a hopeless romantic?She grinned calmly, feeling relieved and anticipation for a new beginning. As it happened, Michael lowered his head and looked at her, asking her opinion as he held her hand gently. She looked up and clasped their fingers, her touch firm and deliberate.The winter sun cast a brilliant ray on Earth. Their wedding rings caught it and glinted together in harmony, blinding Dexter in the process. Dexter didn't even know how he left the manor; the only thing lingering in his heart was a deep sense of loss. It had never escaped him that he was despicable. Dexter merely made the decision to marry Jessica back in Eboris becaus

The sky turned dark and gloomy as Dexter slept on the couch in the apartment, several buttons of his shirt were undone. Jessica had taken a shower, her body exuding the soft scent of soap. She had also wrapped herself in a thin bathrobe to make herself seem more seductive. Tonight, she would sleep with Dexter and become his wife in every sense of the word. Kneeling in front of the couch, she traced his cheeks with her lean fingers. "It's your fault for clinging to her. I've sacrificed too much to stop now. I cooked up the car crash and accidentally made myself lose the ability to have babies. Of course, I'm not going to let you go."Dexter, I love you. You have no idea how badly I want to give you my most precious gift. I long for you to embrace me in your arms as we lose ourselves in a hot, sensual love."Jessica leaned on his chest, looking hopelessly mesmerized. The thing was, a drunken man would be limp in bed most of the time, and Dexter was no exception. Not long afte

It was the middle of the night, and Dexter was completely wasted in a nightclub. The manager was very happy that he sold 800 thousand dollars worth of red wine, but he was also upset. Dexter was in a foul mood, and he had the look that he could make a mess of this establishment the moment anything went wrong.Flat out of options, he had to send the most nimble-minded lady at his disposal to soothe Dexter. Then, he had a light-bulb moment. Catalina used to be very close to Dexter. Later, a young lady with a slender, delicate figure sat next to Dexter. His head was thrown back as he leaned on the back of the couch, his dashing face a shade of light red, and his Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably. He embodied raw, masculine allure. Catalina blushed when she saw him, but she didn't dare to let herself fall for him for real. Her voice was tender and warm as she spoke. "Let me drink with you. Just tell me what ails you, and I will console you."Dexter opened his eyes just a crack

Jessica opened the office door and came in, only to find the mess on the floor. The documents were scattered everywhere, and what remained of his smartphone lay quietly amidst the chaos, its broken pieces a heartbreaking sight to behold.Dexter couldn't stop himself from breathing heavily. His expression spoke of despondency, and his body was as stiff as a nocked arrow, threatening to burst forth at any moment. Jessica hesitated a little before she walked over and gently placed a hand on his shoulder, trying to soothe him. Her fingers had barely touched him when he swatted them away mercilessly.She was immediately stunned, but Dexter showed no signs of comforting her. Instead, he stormed out of his office. It took Jessica a while to come to her senses, and when she did, she stumbled after him, calling out to him, "Dexter, where are you going?"He turned a deaf ear to her question, stomped into the elevator, and closed the doors as she watched. Jessica slammed the elevator doo

Michael swung by Eleanor's place to pick her up early in the morning, and he brought his son and daughter, Sawyer and Tina Hall, with him. Sawyer was the older brother, mature and calm. Tina was the younger sister, sweet and adorable. She resembled her biological mother a lot.Michael left them at the Sutton residence and let Layla look after them, hoping that they would bond with Maisie. Later, he and Eleanor went downstairs and stepped into the car.They were just going through the motions, but Eleanor applied a light makeup for today's marriage certification procedure. She needed to conceal her haggardness.Michael turned sideways and looked at her. "From what I heard, the marriage bureau provides a veil for the wedding picture. It'll go well with your black turtleneck sweater."She grinned faintly. "Wonderful."He ran his finger through her hair tenderly, his voice gentle. "Eleanor, I hope you'll be happier about this. I'm still alive and well now. Before I move on to a bett
