All Chapters of Leaving You Bereft: Chapter 731 - Chapter 740

As Gabriella walked in, a few snowflakes still clung to her shoulder, and a chill lingered on her. Slowly taking off her jacket, she hung it up and entered the villa with the snacks.Then, she called Ash and Lynn over, who rushed over and sat in the dining hall. Growing up in a wealthy and refined family, they were graceful and composed as they ate, never rushing or wolfing down their snacks.Gabriella sat next to them, keeping them company with a warm grin on her face. As Lynn swallowed a bite of her cranberry muffin, she told Gabriella what she saw."Mom, Ash and I were leaning against the windowsill when we saw Fred. Dad struggled to get out of bed, but he stood by the window to look as well. He seemed mad."We're worried sick about him. Will he die like on TV if his wound on the belly splits open?"Die?Gabriella couldn't hold herself back from saying, "Your dad was almost a goner."Lynn blinked briefly before turning sideways and whispering to Ash. "Dad almost died."Ash n

That was the catch with all wealthy guys. Landon was in his 30s. There was no way he was still a virgin. On the contrary, he must've slept with countless women. Thalia had heard stories about his sex life, and the last thing she wanted to do was get involved with him. Otherwise, disaster would follow.Turning around, she left, walking alone in the snow. Eventually, she stopped at the bus station outside the hospital and waited for about ten minutes. Only when her cheeks and nose turned red did she get onto the bus she needed to take.As the bus rumbled down the street, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled out of the hospital compound—Landon was behind the wheel.He was focused on driving and didn't notice the bus driving past him, let alone Thalia. Afterward, they headed off in different directions.A week later, Thalia went south with her aunt.…Xavier was discharged in the middle of December. It was nearing New Year, and he had to deal with some crucial matters in the company.

It was 4:00 pm, and Gabriella was sitting in a dim, shabby room in a detention center at Brindlewood. The layer of dust on the chair was thick enough to write on. Beyond the iron-barred window, a series of footsteps could be heard from the hallway further in, followed by the sharp clinking of the silver handcuffs.Moments later, Gabriella sat across from the prisoner. She looked at the lady she once knew through the glass partition, but she could barely recognize her now. Violet had changed a lot. She was very skinny, her body nearly shriveled. Her hair was brittle, and her skin had lost its moisture due to a prolonged lack of care. By now, she had lost all traces of her former elegance, making her indistinguishable from the many female prisoners in there.Gabriella stared at Violet, who was looking right back at her. All of a sudden, Violet asked the prison guard, "Can I have a cigarette?"He was about to snarl at her, but Gabriella chimed in gently, "I brought her some. Plea

Xavier gave it some thought and decided to have dinner downstairs. He wanted to reunite with Gabriella, but he didn't want it to be too simple and hasty either. He had to spend some time with the kids too. So, he asked the chefs to prepare more dishes and a bottle of wine for them. He had yet to fully recover from his recent, heavy injuries, and she was in poor health. The wine was just there to set the mood. Ash and Lynn were thrilled. Although the grown-ups didn't say anything, they were keen and perceptive. They could sense that their parents had gotten back together and would stay at the same place.Both of them had two drumsticks. Before long, their little bellies were stuffed and round, looking adorable.Xavier raised his wine glass and gave Gabriella an affectionate look. "Let's have a tiny sip."She needed to drive home later, but she didn't ruin the mood. She played along and took a sip. It was a small gesture, but it made Xavier's eyes turn red. His chest was about t

Once his dressing was changed, Xavier got a little fidgety again. He wanted Gabriella to stay with him. She was pulled all the way to the bed and eased into the blanket, with her face resting against his shoulder.He casually chatted with her, mostly about their future together and the twins' education. He sounded serious, almost as if he had already taken up the role of a good husband.It was Gabriella's primary focus, but she didn't want to talk about it now. She was a little tired now, and she drifted off to sleep as Xavier went on. Her eyes closed gently, and her expression looked inexplicably tender.He lowered his head, staring at her earnestly. Although he was reluctant to do it, he reached out and turned the lights off. He even closed the curtains. Ash and Lynn's joyful, innocent laughter continued to echo downstairs, but the bedroom was peaceful and quiet. The faint scent of medicine mixed with a touch of her sweet body scent. Xavier couldn't stop himself from burying his
