The driver had parked outside, and Gabriella silently took the back seat, gazing out of the car window at the night scenery the entire trip.

The driver was focused on the road ahead.

It was noisy outside as car horns blared. A sharp contrast to the quiet atmosphere inside the car.

Henry looked at Gabriella with a puzzled look and asked, "If you've the card I gave you, why did you return the items and repurchase them?"

He had received a text message saying that the previous charge had been refunded to his account. However, she still had the items, which meant she had bought them again with her own money.

Gabriella kept looking out the window and replied, "I'll spend as I wish, and it's none of your business."

"Are you mad because I went shopping with Hannah?"

"You've done much for Hannah, haven't you? It was just shopping, why would I be mad?" Gabriella smirked, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes.

"What's wrong then?"

What's wrong?

She also wondered what was wr

    "Let's discuss the divorce agreement again. Meet me in the study," said Henry. "Alright."Gabriella put the towel down, followed Henry, and closed the door on their way to the study.Henry found the digital copy of the divorce agreement and added new clauses to it. He then moved aside for Gabriella, saying, "Take a look at the new additions I've included."Gabriella leaned over the table, one hand supporting her, and looked at the red-highlighted lines on the screen. The first addition is that they would divorce but continue living in the same house. Even after getting divorced, they would still need to reside together in Astral Heights Villa.She needed to keep the divorce a secret from his grandparents and, when required, accompany him as a couple to the old villa for visits until they discovered the divorce. The second clause is that neither of them could talk about their past marriage and divorce to anyone else. The third clause stated that they are not allowed to have

    Gabriella dressed, drove to Terra's provided address and entered the private room. Two people were on the couch, Terra and Henry.Terra leaned on the couch and lit a cigarette.Henry sat on the couch, eyes closed, leaning against the backrest with half a glass of wine in hand.He briefly opened his eyes when he heard the door open, then closed them again.Countless empty bottles were on the floor.Gabriella frowned and asked, "Did he drink all of these?"Terra nodded and said, "Yeah.""Ry," Gabriella called and approached him, removing the glass from his hand and putting it on the table.Henry opened his dark eyes, fixed his gaze on her, and remained silent.Gabriella locked eyes with him, and her heart fluttered slightly. She couldn't tell if he was drunk or not at that moment."It's late. Let's go home."Henry rubbed his forehead, then got up from the couch, swaying unsteadily. Gabriella quickly went to support him. "Can you walk?""Yes," Henry's hoarse voice said as

    Top Comment: "No way, do people actually think that the son of the Toussaints is innocent? He's been enjoying himself without getting caught."The comments section was a mess, with Henry's fans defending him, and Hannah's fans keeping their distance from Henry. There were also bystanders watching the drama and haters who kept criticizing.There was a trending keyword: Gabriella. The situation unfolded last night, and after a few hours of research, internet users found Gabriella, the person involved in Henry's affair, on Twitter. They compared the photos on her private Twitter account, and the clothing was an exact match. Moreover, there was a previous conflict between Gabriella and Hannah. Many internet users already knew that she is the adopted granddaughter of Albert Toussaint, the chairman of the MQ brand. Comments under Gabriella's tweets showed two extremes. Some bystanders and Hannah's critics speculated that because Gabriella was the chairman's adopted granddaughter, s

    Gabriella was taken aback when she heard Hannah mention cooking. She just couldn't link Henry to cooking."I bet you didn't know what a good cook he is, Gabby. He lived on his own during university and honed his culinary skills. He used to cook for me often."Gabriella knew Hannah was saying these things on purpose to provoke her, but it still made her heart ache.A man had to genuinely love a woman if he were willing to cook for her. But throughout their three-year marriage, Henry hadn't so much as stepped into the kitchen. Gabriella hadn't even known he could cook.She'd heard that cooking was a good way for a couple to deepen their relationship. Even with a housekeeper, Gabriella had occasionally cooked. Yet Henry had never helped her.This was the difference between love and apathy.Gabrielle suppressed her heartache and said, "Hand the phone to Henry. I have something to ask him.""What is it? I can ask him for you."This was an obvious provocation. Gabriella and Henry wer

    "Hi, Dad. It's Grandpa's death anniversary, so I came to see him. That's not all, though. I also wanted to tell you that I'm gonna divorce him soon. I'm sure you'll be surprised to hear this."It wasn't too long ago that I was telling you about how well he treated me, right? It's only been a few months since then, but we're about to part ways soon. Will you find this ridiculous?"I think it is, too. From the day he brought up the divorce till now, I've been quite lost. How did we end up here …" Gabriella trailed off.After a while, she continued, "If someone had told me back then that Henry and I would be getting divorced just a handful of months later, I never would've believed them. How could I possibly agree to a divorce when I loved him so?"Yet that's exactly what happened. It's a long story, but I don't really know where to start. I'm pregnant, Dad. You're about to have a grandkid. If you can hear me from the afterlife, I hope you'll bless my baby and make sure they come to t

    Gabriella recounted the accident with as much detail as she could remember. It was pretty much the same as what the police had seen from the surveillance cameras.The policeman recorded her statement. "You're guessing that the black and white cars did this on purpose, right? Are you sure you don't know the driver in the black car?""I'm positive," Gabriella said."Then, did you see the face of the driver in the white car?""No. He was too far behind me. I saw him a couple of times from the rearview mirror when I was switching lanes, but he was too far for me to get a clear glimpse at his face.""Got it." The policewoman took a comforting tone as she said, "Don't worry. We're already thinking of ways to determine the suspects' identities so we can arrest them. It shouldn't take too long."There were surveillance cameras everywhere nowadays. They wouldn't be able to hide."Thank you," Gabriella said."You can call your family now. We didn't find your handphone at the scene of the

    To Gabriella's surprise, Henry asked, "What do you wanna have?""What can you cook?" she asked in return."Anything.""I'll have a bacon-and-egg stir fry, then. Throw some vegetables in, too," Gabriella said."Alright, then. I'll go buy the ingredients." Henry put his phone on the table. "I'll leave my phone here. Maria will call when she arrives, so you can tell her the room number.""Okay." Gabriella nodded while looking at him, but her eyes were dazed. She didn't expect Henry to agree. Did this mean she held a tiny spot in his heart?As soon as this thought formed in Gabriella's mind, she shoved it out. She had to stop thinking so highly of herself. Henry didn't like her at all. They still had to get the divorce over and done with tomorrow.She was afraid she wouldn't ever muster the courage to bring it up again if they were to miss this round.The phone rang. Gabriella picked it up but could only see a blurry screen. She answered the call to hear a woman's voice ring out on

    Early Monday morning, Gabriella washed up and got ready. She changed out of the hospital gown and waited patiently for Henry after having her breakfast. She ended up waiting the whole morning.Henry only arrived at the hospital in the afternoon. "Sorry, I got caught up with something in the morning."Gabriella shook her head with a smile and stood up to leave. "That's fine. It's not too late yet."Henry felt uncomfortable when he saw how she couldn't wait to go. "Are you that happy about our divorce?"Gabriella felt bitter on the inside, but she kept her smile in place. "Yeah, I am. I'm finally gonna be free."Free. The fact that she'd used that word was probably enough to show how disappointed she was in this marriage.Henry's expression darkened. He said, "Congratulations.""Let's go." Gabriella looked at him.He grunted and opened the door to reveal two police officers standing outside. They'd just been about to knock on the door. The policewoman was taken aback to see him.

    Shawn and Carmila's wedding was rescheduled once Henry had been safely released from the detention center.However, Carmila's pregnancy was already showing, so the wedding was kept simple.Firstly, everyone thought she would appear unsightly if she married while being visibly pregnant. The second reason was that they feared the complex wedding would exhaust her and the child in her womb.Carmila was displeased, but she had no say in the matter. Furthermore, insisting on a bigger ceremony would make it appear that she didn't care about the child.The wedding car left Florin around 5:00 am and picked her up at 8:00 am.Shawn was in a suit, and Carmila was in a wedding gown.

    Naturally, Elaine wouldn't tell the truth. "I've told you about Moabia before. They're the ones who took the watch. "I ran into Fay's friend at the mall two days ago. She recognized and mocked me! I was outraged and tried to scare them today. But they smashed my car, pinned me to the ground, and beat me!"Unexpectedly, Sam scowled. "Nothing would happen if you didn't scare them."As soon as he heard about Moabia, he knew that Gabriella's friend, whom Elaine mentioned, was Colene.Although he hadn't returned to Chatan at that time, he had been following Colene's Twitter account and checking it frequently. He knew she had accompanied Gabriella to Moabia.She wouldn't let herself suffer, and she wouldn't mock others without reason. There must be a reason for everything.Furthermore, Elaine's words lacked credibility.Everyone would choose to portray themselves favorably, including her. Just like when she broke a person's leg and said it was just a minor injury. Elaine couldn't b

Gabriella chose a one-shoulder dress and entered the changing room.Colene was outside and exclaimed with astonishment, "Damn!

    Then she turned slightly to see that Felise was still fast asleep. However, they were so close that they might wake her up.Gabriella didn't want Felise to catch them in the act.Henry didn't answer. He blew hot air onto Gabriella's neck, and goosebumps prickled her skin. He caught her earlobe and sucked it hard.A jolt of electricity seemed to shoot through her, and she shuddered. She curled her toes and shrank back.Suddenly, Gabriella became fully awake, and she tightened around Henry's hand. "What… what are you doing?"Henry's mouth was next to her ear, and his breath was hot on her earlobes. "I'm helping you relax.""No…""When you're relaxed, I'll sleep."Gabriella remained silent. Then, she bit her lip. "No, Henry… don't… uh, Lise is beside me… don't…"A light seemed to flash across her brain, and she stiffened suddenly, and her eyes went out of focus as she stared at the ceiling. Her breathing turned heavy.Henry kissed her cheek and got some wet towels to wipe her do

    Felise hadn't seen Gabriella in two months, and she missed her dearly.After school, Felise got in line with the other children to leave the kindergarten. She looked around and heard her seatmate say, "Lise, your parents have come together to get you!"Felise followed the gaze of her seatmate, and she saw a man and a woman standing side by side, their eyes searching through the crowd of kindergarteners. The man wore a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his lean forearms. He wore black pants and a leather belt, which showed off his long legs. He looked like a model.The woman wore a fitting white lace blouse, and there was a white-gold necklace around her creamy neck. Her arms were fair and slender, like snow, and she wore a short khaki-colored miniskirt. Her legs were slim and fair, and her skin was flawless. They were a very good-looking couple, and they attracted the attention of many of the parents. Even the children couldn't help looking over at

    It was already noon. Henry told the driver to make a detour to a restaurant. The waiter led them to a private room on the second floor and politely handed them a menu.Henry had come here a few times before. Perhaps it was because he didn't like lamb, but he only just noticed that there were several signature lamb dishes on the menu. Gabriella looked through the menu and ordered a few at random.Henry heard her orders and told the waiter, "Add a braised lamb and lamb rack.""You have great taste, sir. These are our signature dishes." The waiter smiled and noted it down."Will it be too much?""It's okay. We can bring it back if we can't finish it." Henry gave the menu to the waiter. "That's all."While they waited for the food to be served, the two of them chatted casually.Henry told her in detail about all the affiliated companies under Toussaint Holdings and the new products the studios were about to launch. He asked Gabriella which of these she was interested in. As lo

    Then Layla heard something that made her lose all hope."Layla, come to my office."She opened her mouth, then deflated and said, "Okay."The intern looked curiously at Shawn's retreating figure and said, "Why does Mr. Shawn want to see you?""I don't know. Whatever it is, I'll find out when I go. I'm leaving." Layla carried an expression of dignified resignation.She guessed that Shawn wanted to see her about the office romance issue. She wasn't dating Robin, but it was worse than dating. Shawn had just stepped into the office when Layla followed him in. Her head was lowered, and she looked uneasy. "Mr. Shawn, what do you want to see me about?" she asked, her voice hoarse. Shawn sat down behind the desk and arranged the documents on it. He asked casually, "Do you remember what I asked you during your interview?""Y-yes… you asked me what I think about office romances." Layla lowered her gaze and answered in a small voice.
