Noah’s tone became warmer. “Did you buy this for me?”Before Gwynn could answer, he said, “There’s no need to knit things on your own. It’s a lot easier to buy what you need.” Her face was pale when she sat up and took the ball of yarn from him. Then, she ran her fingers over its smooth, soft surface longingly. She hesitated for a while before she spoke. “I bought it for Lorian!”Noah’s face immediately froze. He composed himself and forced a smile on his face. “Sounds about right! After all, you’ve only ever done things for him!”He just couldn’t wrap his head around her. He said coldly, “I’m going to hop in the shower.”…Noah couldn’t get any warmth or sense of belonging from his wife, and he certainly wasn’t going to deprive himself of sex. So, he hooked up with Gianna.Their secret affair was still going strong after three months. At first, he let her do most of the work. As time went by, however, he also started getting into it. There was even once when they went o

Gwynn no longer cared about saving herself. All she wanted was to find Lorian a safe place and a loving caretaker for now. That was all she wanted. Noah was broken because of hatred and there was simply no place for love in his heart. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been where they were today. For that matter, he wouldn’t have done something so outrageous with Gianna. Tears streamed down Gwynn’s face. It was Lorian’s birthday today. She was supposed to be celebrating it with her son. It was supposed to be a happy day.Noah hadn’t relented even after she cast away her dignity and begged him.Reaching out, he brushed her cheeks gently and felt the cold dampness of her tears. Towering over her, he said ever so softly, “Lorian is my son!”Shocked, she slumped onto the floor. …He walked out of the bathroom and left her on the bathroom floor. Much time had passed but she still couldn’t bring herself to stand up. She was trapped in a trance. They had been through so much that s

Noah’s heart sank and his face grew grim. After some time, Gianna came to her senses. Flicking her long hair, she said coldly, “This isn’t fair! Why do I have to be kept in the dark and be your mistress? Why should I marry someone I don’t even love? You have no idea how much I sacrificed for you, Noah!”Her painful memories flooded her in a gut-wrenching instant, tormenting her.He had no idea what she went through. Back then, his business had just taken off. All he could care about was how much it expanded every day and if it was getting closer to being listed. He wasn’t concerned with how much liquor she had drunk with the benefactors and how many times she had thrown up because of it.Then, he found success and brought his business to a whole new level. A wild man like him, who played the field, was inexplicably confessing to a young Gwynn like a common schoolboy. He took Gwynn on night strolls and actually didn’t lay a finger on her even once before they got married. For Hea

Staring at him in profile, Zoe said softly, “Let it go, Noah! Dad wouldn’t want us to live a life full of hatred. I believe he’d want us to be happy.”A breeze blew past them gently. His carefully combed hair was tousled a little, seemingly dialing the clock back on him. He looked like a twenty-odd-year-old man, reminiscent of the elegance and gentlemanly grace he had back then.Wearing a white shirt underneath the glow of the evening sun, he looked absolutely stunning. Keeping his hand on the doorknob, he lowered his gaze and said, “Happy? Do you want to know something, Zoe? It’s impossible for Gwynn and I to start over!”If he could turn back time and figure out his own thoughts and feelings earlier, then he would’ve turned Gianna away at Nihonburg before the New Year. He might’ve stood a chance with Gwynn then. Now, however, he was sure Gwynn would never fall in love with him again! What went on between him and Gianna had made her sick through and through. She thought o

Noah, however, made sure he got home every night. He no longer forced Gwynn to sleep with him. Sometimes, he’d even sleep in the study. He was sure that he’d wear her down over time. After all, Lorian was the glue that held them together!It didn’t hurt that he treated his son nicely. He did love that little rascal from the bottom of his heart. Half a month later, her health deteriorated more and she started to throw up blood in the mornings.Still, she didn't seek treatment for it. She had given up on her life. It was evening when she sat in the yard, enjoying the evening breeze. She looked so scrawny underneath the fading light from the sky that there was a layer of fragility added to her grace. Gladys came over and put a small blanket over her, speaking softly, “Gianna’s here again! She said she wasn’t going to leave until she saw you. I’m going to send her away right now.”Gwynn was a little stunned. This had to be the third time she came!She coughed intensely before s
