Charles couldn't eat or sleep after sending the letter. All he did was anxiously wait for a reply.Jake was gone for two days.He managed to meet Renata in an elegantly decorated guest room. It was late summer, and she had just woken from her afternoon nap. Her clothing was a bit casual. She seemed quite relaxed too. It was clear that she was doing well.Jake understood perfectly that this trip was in vain. However, he still put on a brave face and tried to negotiate with Renata.Renata opened the gift box. There was fresh maple leaf and a set of ruby jewelry inside. The quality alone told her that it was worth a fortune. It was easily more than tens of millions of dollars. She looked down and smiled faintly, "Why is Charles sending me these? Doesn't he need to save money to get married?"Jake spoke candidly, "From what I see, Mr. Charles's engagement with Ms. Alisha is likely off.""That has nothing to do with me," Renata replied. "I won't accept these gifts, and I won't rec

Charles leaned backward.Alisha deduced his intentions. He wanted to sever ties with her and reconcile with Renata. She sneered, "You missed her, but she's having sex with Darrell. You have to see if she's willing to reconcile with you, even if that's what you want."Would she abandon the younger guy to be with you? You're a middle-aged man."What's in it for her? You're still sleeping around with so many ladies, and you're not that wealthy, either."…Alisha said her piece and felt good. However, Charles's face darkened as he stared at her with unblinking eyes. There was no trace of affection between them now.After a while, Charles looked up at the ceiling light and spoke slowly, "At this point, I won't hide anything from you anymore. It's over between us, Alisha. "We're not suitable for each other even if Renata is out of the picture. Naturally, I'll provide you with appropriate compensation."House or cash. Take your pick."A pillow was thrown at him.Alisha lost her

Charles began to hit the gym frequently.Moreover, he avoided having any improper relationships with women. He lived a life akin to that of a priest.After two months of adjustment, he appeared several years younger and was full of life.In October, he went to Brookesville for a work report.He had three off days after finishing his work. He intended to visit Renata, but she neither answered his calls nor allowed him into her villa.He was faced with a hopeless situation. So, he had to find out about her itinerary. She had an important dinner engagement on Friday night. It was related to a major project for the Sanders Group and could potentially bring in billions in profits for the company. It'd advance her career as well.It was a big deal for Renata.Although she brought two secretaries with her, the client insisted on drinking with her. She drank until she was half drunk, but they were still not satisfied. Instead, they wanted to go somewhere else to drink.She would vomi

As night fell, everything grew quiet.Though it was a club, the temptations of wine, wealth, and pleasures seemed far removed from them. Time appeared to stand still. The only thing that was left in the world was Renata's retreating figure.She turned her head slightly. Outside the window, the moon was setting in the west, reminiscent of their fading love.Renata felt a pang of sorrow in her heart, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something. However, no words came out eventually. She moved stiffly and walked forward slowly as she left his side."Renata."Charles called out to her.He quickly stepped forward and grabbed her slender wrist. He didn't want to let go and let her leave. The last thing he wanted was to see her go back to another man's embrace!At this moment, his heart was filled with pain. The only thing that could fix it was if she turned back.Unfortunately, she didn't do it.Renata lowered her head and looked at her wrist. She struggled to free herself, b

Renata regained her senses and asked incredulously, "Are you crazy, Charles?""Maybe I am!"She grabbed the car handle. She intended to open the door and get out, but it was locked. There was nothing she could do to open it. Renata turned to glare at Charles, "What exactly do you want?"It was dimly lit inside.Charles looked extraordinarily captivating in his white shirt. He stared at her quietly. His expression carried a hint of a unique sternness and maturity. They made him very attractive."What do I want to do?"He unbuttoned his shirt cuffs and rolled them up to his elbows leisurely, revealing a portion of his solid forearm. Then, a partition rose between the back seat and the front and created a private space. All of a sudden, Charles pulled Renata into his arms. He turned on the overhead light as if to humiliate her.The light shone brightly.Renata wore a dress when she fell into her ex-husband's arms. He touched her wantonly and pulled her thin stockings down her

The limousine was in utter disarray.Renata's face was covered in fine sweat, and her black hair stuck to her forehead. She kept her eyes shut tightly and refused to look at Charles.How could she look him in the eye?Just as she was finally moving onto a new life, he pulled her back. She could press charges against him if she was a young lady. Then, she could've forgotten about this incident and started anew with Darrell. However, she wasn't a young lady. She used to be married to Charles. So, the others would only see them as having lingering feelings for each other.What was more, Charles was involved in too many things. Noah would be the first to disapprove if she intended to take action against him.Adults often had to make sacrifices. She understood this well.Renata sat up slowly and held her clothes as she shed tears quietly. She didn't act hysterically. Instead, she could only wept silently. Charles sat next to her. He had already zipped up his pants, but his shirt w

" I am a human being. I'm not an animal, Charles." Renata said. "I have feelings. I can fall in love with someone else."…Renata felt deeply upset. There was utter despair on her face. "However, you ruined my relationship and snuffed out my happiness with your hands. You've destroyed me yet again, Charles. "You must feel very proud of yourself, right? Well, I'll never be with you, even if I break up with Darrell."Renata struggled to sit up. She told herself that she wouldn't spend the last moment of her life next to Charles if she was dying this minute. She'd never bear his last name.Charles restrained her. Both of them sunk deeply into the soft bed together. He gently held her face in his hand and murmured, "I'll delete the picture if that's what you want! I never intended to show it to Darrell anyway. How could I bear to let anyone see you when you're turned on?"Thinking about it reminded Charles that she used to sleep with another man. It bothered him, but he couldn't

Renata wasn't a young lady anymore. She seemed to have regained her composure after she cried it out. However, Charles wouldn't let her leave. She was confined to stay in his villa.He sent for someone to bring Daphne over.As night fell, the sound of a car could be heard in the courtyard on the ground floor. She could also hear some women's faint voices.Renata had cleaned herself up. She wore a white silk pajama and leaned against the sofa by the window. She silently drank from a wine glass by herself.The bedroom door creaked open.Charles walked in. He had also showered and changed into a fresh shirt and trousers. His whole demeanor looked refreshed.He approached Renata and put his arm around her shoulder gently. "You wouldn't eat. So, why are you drinking wine now? Drinking on an empty stomach is bad for your health."Renata let out a cold laugh. Her delicate face leaned against the luxurious sofa and rubbed against it lightly. "Don't you find it ironic? You were so

However, despite his best efforts, they still crossed paths in the hallway.Gael stood quietly, watching Yanni. She had just taken Ella to the restroom, as she wasn’t comfortable leaving her alone.

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight bathed the earth, signaling a joyous occasion at the Sanders family home. The youngest daughter of Noah and Gwynn was finally getting married.

Although they were not extremely wealthy, Jordyn was a capable family head with a good reputation. He handled both inside and outside affairs with finesse and charm. To everyone’s surprise, he got along very well with Mason.However, Noah had some reservations. “Don't you have any relatives of your own, Mason?”Mason didn’t engage with his criticism.

That night, Jamie and Paityn returned home with their daughter Carol. As soon as they arrived, Carol went to do her homework, while Paityn went to check on their youngest son, Colten Lockwood. The housekeeper was taking care of him and, upon hearing footsteps, turned her head and softly said, "Madam, you're back? He hasn't woken up at all, he's such a good boy."Paityn smiled lightly and signaled for the housekeeper to go downstairs and rest.When the door closed, she looked down at the sleeping Colten. The little one, only eight months old, resembled his father completely; almost like a miniature copy of Jamie. Even Carol, at times, would look at her brother’s face and marvel: "It’s really a masterpiece from God!"Jamie replied, "You even know what a masterpiece is?"Carol teased, "A husband’s looks are the wife’s glory!"Paityn quietly said to Jamie, “She must have seen a supermodel runway show."Jamie immediately asked, "Did she like it?"Paityn didn't answer, just smiled.

On the second floor, Gwen was trying on her wedding dress for tomorrow. Just as Zion had wished, it was a traditional Zutriysteinian wedding.The red wedding gown was crafted by the top artisans from Zutriystein, elegant and dignified. The headpiece she wore was adorned with wild pearls; each gem was carefully embedded, and the headpiece alone cost tens of millions. A substantial amount of money had been spent.The woman in the mirror was stunningly beautiful. Gwen gently touched her headpiece and muttered to herself, "Zion really doesn’t mind spending money on this little hobby of his."Gwynn, as a mother, patted her head. "This little girl really doesn’t know when to keep quiet, but luckily, she’s married well and is right here beside me..."She had given a generous wedding gift, exactly the same as when Holly got married. Like Holly, Gwen didn’t want any shares of the Sanders Group. The money that Zion earned was enough to support both of them and his small hobbies.Meanwhile

Ignacio said, "We can’t take care of both of you."Holly was at a loss for words.Lucius was at that lively age, but he was raised by his father and had good manners. When he saw Ocelotte, he respectfully greeted him, saying, "Second Uncle."Ocelotte patted his little head, thinking that the boy seemed sturdier than his own children, possibly because Molly was too fragile. He made a mental note to make sure Yeager got some extra nutrients when he went back.The black Rolls-Royce Phantom sped down the highway, getting them back to the Qiao family mansion before evening.The Sanders family’s sons had all moved out, leaving only Gwen still living at home. Holly, who rarely came back, was also staying at the house. She didn’t refuse, planning to stay for a few days before heading to Silvercrest to visit her biological parents and pay respects.The car pulled into the Sanders Residence, and the house was lit up brightly.In the courtyard parking area, luxury cars were parked everywhe

In the evening, Gwen was preparing to leave work.In the parking lot, she spotted Zion’s car, but it was empty. Just then, a school leader passed by and said to her, “Zion came to school. There’s a donation ceremony happening in the auditorium. You should go check it out. "Then, you two can head home together afterward. On a cold day like this, a nice dinner would be perfect. What a cozy idea!”Gwen playfully replied, “You really know how to enjoy life.”The leader, holding a bag of groceries, laughed, “See? Your teacher’s wife has been nagging me since morning to go home and cook while babysitting the grandkids.”Gwen smiled softly, watching him leave.In the sky, clouds glowed orange and yellow, their edges tinged with gold.She carried a thermos as she walked toward the auditorium. Along the way, a few students noticed her and started chirping excitedly, cheekily calling her “Ms. Gwen.”Gwen corrected them, “It’s Ms. Gwen.”The students laughed and teased, “Ms. Gwen! Mr. Z

Gwen stared dazedly at the man.Zion, dressed in a black coat, stood tall in the study, exuding an oppressive aura. He walked toward her and pulled the teary-eyed girl, her face streaked like a little tabby cat, into his arms. One hand gently smoothed her hair as his voice softened to the extreme, "Still saying you didn’t cry."Gwen leaned against his shoulder, mumbling, "You did it on purpose.""Are you at least a little touched?"She pounded on him twice more in response.Zion chuckled lowly, letting the girl vent while his heart ached silently.These past five years had been filled with fear and uncertainty for him. He had been afraid that before he could make a name for himself, Gwen would fall for someone else. If that happened, what could he possibly use to ask her to come back to him?The love story of a poor boy and a rich girl might've existed in novels, but the reality was often harsh.Gwen didn’t care, but he couldn’t bear to let her endure hardship.Now, as they
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1458
Zion and Gwen's marriage seemed inevitable, with no one putting up any resistance. Occasionally, Gwen even had a strange illusion.It all went so smoothly that the years of separation seemed like they had never happened, as if she and Zion had always been together. After their reunion, he didn’t even ask her about her life abroad and treated her just as he did before.She was no longer as youthful and tender, but Zion still saw her as if she were a 20-year-old girl. Gwen felt a bit dejected, thinking to herself, he must just like girls around 18-year-old.But unfortunately, the spring river flows eastward and cannot return!Zion only smiled.In winter, the days grew shorter. After work, Gwen arrived at Zion's villa, but he had not yet come home. The two housekeepers had already started preparing dinner.When Gwen got out of the car, she received a call from Zion. Her voice was soft and tender.“When will you be back?”On the other end, Zion checked the time and said, “I’ll be

Zion noticed Gwen gazing at him with those wide, expectant eyes again. With a chuckle, he reached into the pocket of his trench coat, pulled out a sleek wallet, and carefully extracted a platinum card. He placed it in her outstretched hand and said with a smile, “This is my secondary card. There’s no credit limit.” Gwen gasped softly, then teased, “Wow, aren’t you generous? Thank you, Teacher Qin.” Zion gave her a light tap on the head. Not missing a beat, Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck and grinned mischievously, “Thank you, my sugar daddy.” Zion’s response was to pull her close, cupping her cheeks as he kissed her fiercely. Though he once carried himself as an educator and now as a refined businessman, he found himself utterly smitten by her playful antics. After the kiss, Zion leaned close to Gwen's ear and murmured something uncharacteristically crude that sent a shiver down her spine. He playfully nipped her nose. “Turns out you’ve got a thing for bad boy
