All Chapters of No Longer Theirs: The One They Can't Replace: Chapter 361 - Chapter 370

The next day, Winter got a call from Joshua.Florence had a follow-up appointment, but he was caught up with urgent business and couldn't be there. Since Winter was Florence's favorite, it was only natural that she go and look after her.Winter didn't hesitate and arrived at the hospital on time.After accompanying Florence through her checkup, she stayed in the ward to have lunch with her. Not long after, Joshua arrived.The moment he stepped in, he saw Winter conversing quietly with Florence.The afternoon sunlight fell on Winter's serene, refined face, casting a radiance that was hard to put into words. For a moment, it felt as though time itself had stopped.Joshua's gaze darkened. He stood silently, unable to tear his eyes away."Joshua? You're here! Why didn't you say a word? What are you standing there for?"Florence noticed him first. Her tone carried a hint of reproach, but the joy in her eyes was unmistakable."Grandma, you seem to be in good spirits."Joshua approa

To this day, Joshua remained oblivious to the truth. Without Nora, Stroud Group's new energy vehicles would never have risen to the top of the national sales charts. He certainly wouldn't have carved out a place in the market in just three short years.Joshua was a fool who couldn't recognize brilliance when he saw it.A glimmer of emotion flickered in his eyes, and a faint smile tugged at his lips.Maybe that confrontation had planted a thorn in Ezekiel's mind. Taking each word to heart, he had pulled back in response.Otherwise, Winter wouldn't be out of work now, and Ezekiel would have no reason to hold back his assistance during this difficult time. It was clear he was deliberately keeping his distance.Though Ezekiel gave the impression of being magnanimous, it was all strategy and self-interest beneath the surface.As a child born out of wedlock, he had no social standing and had endured a grim, oppressive upbringing.It was hard to tell if he was even sane. How could anyo

Sasha spoke with an air of nonchalance, but Winter knew she wasn't telling the truth.Behind Sasha's delicate, striking beauty was a body riddled with scars.Almost every one of those injuries had been inflicted because of Blake.The gunshot wound in her left shoulder still throbbed on rainy days. At times, she had to rely on painkillers just to endure it.Winter had so many questions she wanted to ask Blake.Every time they were naked before each other, did he ever feel even the smallest trace of pity for the battered Sasha?The answer seemed painfully clear.If he did, how could he watch her put herself in danger again and again for him? How could he deny her even a single chance at a life of peace?"Sasha, maybe it's time you stopped being a bodyguard," Winter said. Her throat constricted, and she forced her emotions down. "I have enough savings. From now on, I'll take care of you.""What?" Though Sasha's heart pounded fiercely, she forced a cheerful laugh. "I'd have to be

Winter's lips curved into a smile, her heart quietly fluttering. "I've missed you too, Auro.""Ms. Everhart," Ezekiel interjected, his eyes sharp and unwavering. "Stopping my car like that was extremely dangerous. What's the emergency?"Confronted with Ezekiel's icy demeanor, Winter felt her chest tighten. She took a deep breath."Mr. Fulton, there is an important matter I need to discuss with you. It won't take long. May I speak with you in private?"With that, the two of them headed to a cafe across the street.They each took a seat across from the other. Unlike Joshua, Ezekiel didn't care for black coffee and preferred something sweeter.With that in mind, Winter ordered a latte for him, adding a cube of sugar.Ezekiel, however, only took a sip of water, leaving the coffee she had thoughtfully ordered untouched.With her hands resting in her lap, Winter's fingers gradually tightened into fists.No matter how oblivious she seemed, she could feel that Ezekiel's demeanor towar

"What impressive feats are you talking about?" Abel snapped. "Do you think I'm a fool? I'm not Joshua, for goodness' sake."Ezekiel lifted an eyebrow, looking almost amused by the comparison."When I was on my business trip overseas, Joshua's secretary called me."Ezekiel's expression tightened.Joshua's name always seemed to strike a nerve.Abel propped his chin on one hand and tilted his head. A cold laugh slipped past his lips."He contacted me on Joshua's behalf. He wanted me to perform a heart transplant for Mrs. Stroud Senior."Doesn't Joshua realize that you and I are sworn brothers? His nerve is outrageous. How does he even have the audacity to ask for something like that?"Ezekiel lowered his gaze, swirling the wine in his glass. "Did you turn him down?""Of course I did! Joshua parades around like he owns the world, sending some lackey to hand down his so‑called orders. Who does he think he is?"Has he forgotten we don't live to serve his whims? His demeanor reeks o
