No Longer Theirs: The One They Can't Replace Chapter 438
Sasha's breathing grew heavy. Bathed in the dim light, she seemed nailed to the wall. She remained motionless, like a pale, delicate relief carved from stone.Blake slowly raised his eyes. His gaze was cold and detached as it settled on Nancy.After a long moment, he finally spoke. His voice was low and heavy. "I'm keeping her because she still serves a purpose. When she stops being useful, I'll replace her. You don't have to remind me."Hazel's lips lifted in a teasing smile. "Is she really that indispensable? Blake, do you mind elaborating?" A note of derision colored her words.Blake felt a surge of discomfort ripple through him. Still, he didn't think his beloved sister—whom he had watched grow up—intended any real harm. She was simply too candid and direct. As such, he felt no resentment toward her."I suppose Sasha is capable enough," he said flatly.Hazel erupted into mocking laughter, her crisp voice carrying across the dining room. "So she's hard to knock down, huh? I ge

"Apart from the Strouds and the Fultons, I can't be bothered with the other families in Jeston. If Hazel is to marry, she must choose someone of equal social standing. She would be better off remaining single than marrying someone beneath her."Nancy felt a pang of concern upon hearing about Reginald's poor reputation.Hazel, on the other hand, was busy helping herself to some food. Their conversation barely seemed to affect her.Compared to lifelong love, she cared more about a man's looks and power. Consequently, she gave little thought to Blake's comments about Reginald. As the Fulton family heir, he deserved her attention.She, too, came from a family of equal standing. If she truly married him, would Reginald even think of crossing her?Struck by a sudden thought, Nancy turned to Charlie. "Charlie, I remember Mr. Fulton has another son. He's four years younger than Reginald and closer in age to Haze. Reginald is already in his 30s, while Haze is barely 22. The age gap is cons

Hazel snorted, a note of disdain in her voice. "It's one thing that Josh married so young, but the woman he picked is an absolute joke! Without the support of an influential family, she can't even help Josh."And to make matters worse, she's hardly competent herself. What else can she do besides bear children? It's such a shame to waste a man as remarkable as him!"Sasha happened to be walking outside the dining room. Hearing Hazel's outrageous words, she froze in place. Her hands curled into trembling fists.Nancy nodded in agreement. "I totally share your view. With Joshua's standing, any socialite in Jeston—or even nationwide—would have been within his reach. How did he wind up with someone so unimpressive? He's really lowered the bar for himself."Hazel's lips twisted into a smirk. "It was probably a shotgun marriage. I bet the Stroud family only accepted her after they found out it was a boy. Otherwise, she'd never have made it into their household.""Technically, Josh's wife

With their daughter home, Charlie and Nancy were overjoyed. The whole family settled down for dinner together, enjoying each other's company."It's been so long since we've all been together like this!"Sitting beside Hazel, Nancy took her delicate hand in hers and patted it gently. "Haze, now that you're back, don't go wandering off again! I've been keeping up with the news. Things are so chaotic over in Yenera. I can't believe there are even protests and riots."I honestly don't know how 'developed' that country really is! It's better for you to stay close to us. Otherwise, I'd be worried sick all the time!"Leaning into Nancy's embrace, Hazel let out a giggle. "It's really not that scary. During all the years I've been studying in Yenera, Blake always had someone keeping an eye on me. I'm perfectly safe."Charlie sat at the head of the table. Though his expression carried the weight of a commanding patriarch, his voice softened as he addressed Hazel."Regardless, you shouldn't

A tide of humiliation washed over Winter. At last, Joshua had succeeded in provoking her. A flash of fury ignited in her eyes. She raised her hand and slapped his cheek again."Joshua, I'm disgusted by the person you've turned into!"Pinned beneath him, Winter could barely summon any strength. Her fingers skimmed Joshua's cheek with just the right amount of pressure. It was like the teasing scratch of a cat.Joshua's pulse spiked, and his breathing grew ragged. It was a sensation unlike anything he had ever experienced. In the next moment, he leaned down, capturing her parted lips in a deep, consuming kiss.Against the wall, the veins on his hand bulged and coiled. With every rise and fall, his chest pressed toward her like rolling waves.He had no idea what had come over him. He could stay completely in control with any other woman—even Jessica.But when it came to Winter—the woman he had slept with for five years, the mother of his child, the one he had once looked down upon—he

Joshua dragged the tear-streaked Jessica to a quiet spot in the hallway. "I specifically told you not to see Grandma before I arrived. Why didn't you listen?" His eyes were heavy with frustration.In the past, he had always been endlessly patient with Jessica. But now, things were different. Staring at this tearful woman who never failed to complicate things, he felt a flicker of annoyance."I'm sorry, Josh… I really didn't expect Mrs. Stroud Senior to be so upset at seeing me." Jessica rubbed her eyes, her sobs catching in her throat. Maybe… it's because Winter was there…"Joshua frowned. Against all odds, he spoke in Winter's defense. "Stop bringing Winter into everything. She may dislike you, but she's far from unreasonable."Jessica froze."From now on, don't see Grandma without my approval, unless it's absolutely necessary—especially before her surgery."Frustrated, Joshua rubbed the bridge of his nose and shut his eyes. "You'd better go back. Sean will escort you.""But Jo
