“I'm no longer young, Lorian.”…Lorian felt uneasy hearing this."Click." The gold lighter in his hand sparked a flame.He looked down at the orange flame and said nonchalantly, "I actually think you're still in great shape, Dad. "I think you and Mom could make more babies if that's what you guys want."Noah was furious. "Lorian!"Lorian smiled faintly. "I didn't say I wouldn't see Poppy."With that, he got up and started walking outside. Noah followed, but he couldn't help but turn back after walking a few steps.He muttered to himself, "I don't think Lorian bring a secretary home."That must mean Lorian seduced a lady at the party.Ah, that was what it meant to be young!…The party on the first floor was lively. Glasses clinked and laughter filled the air.Lorian met Poppy down there. In fact, he already knew her from before. They went to the same college in Eldoria. They were prominent figures in the Zutriysteinian community. However, Lorian spent all of his fre

Lorian glanced at Poppy and casually replied to Holly, "She's just a business partner."Holly's eyes lowered slightly. She looked very youthful and a lot like someone in her early twenties. She wasn't corrupted by the real world, but the truth was that she was twenty-five years old. So, she was also gradually learning how the real world worked.Poppy also looked over. She raised her glass, looking radiant and elegant. She was truly dazzling.It was no mere coincidence for a woman like her to show up around Lorian's side out of nowhere. Holly might be slow to catch on, but she could guess that this was Lorian's blind date for tonight. However, Holly didn't put Lorian on the spot. Instead, she smiled lightly. "Is that so?"Lorian was about to speak, but the party was about to begin. A waiter came over to invite him to lead the dance on the dance floor.Lorian frowned. He hadn't finished talking with Holly, but it was Renata's big day tonight. He looked down at Holly and said

Lorian looked towards the third floor, where the studio light was on. Holly was in there.She would hide in the studio whenever she was upset. She'd stay there and shut herself in there for the whole day. Lorian was about to go upstairs, but he was stopped. He wasn't free until the party ended and his family had finished reminiscing with Poppy. Renata had brought a gift specifically for Holly, but she was nowhere to be seen. Gwynn smiled, "She said she was tired and went upstairs to rest."Renata always cared deeply for Holly. She said, "I know an old Zutriysteinian doctor who is very skilled at healing. I'll bring her over to take a look later."Gwynn was delighted to hear this and asked for more details. Renata shared with her everything she knew.Lorian, who stood next to them, patted his trousers lightly and said casually, "I'll go up and check on her."At the next moment, however, Ocelotte stood up first. "I'll go, Lorian!"Lorian remained seated when he looked up at O

Gwen ran downstairs after the fireworks ended. She pushed open the door to the study on the second floor and walked in quietly.Noah was inside. He was leaning against a leather chair and looking at a monthly financial report. He heard the door open and guessed it was his younger daughter.Noah asked casually, "Is Holly okay?"Gwen stood with her hands behind her back. Then, she walked up behind Noah and cuddled his neck affectionately.In her mind, however, she couldn't shake off the shocking scene she had just witnessed.Lorian and Holly were kissing. The latter might've been adopted, but this whole thing was still quite big. Gwen assessed Noah's expression. She was certain that neither of her parents knew about this, but Ocelotte definitely did.Gwen might be young, but she was full of mischief. She cautiously probed Noah."Lorian seems to have upset Holly. They were ignoring each other when I went in! "I think it's because of Poppy's presence tonight, Dad."It was so

It was late at night.Noah returned to the bedroom. Just as he pushed the door open, Gwynn happened to come out from the bathroom. She sat at the makeup table and said, "How did Gladys's ointment work this time? If it's suitable, I'll go to the hospital again to get more."Noah closed the door gently.He walked up behind his wife and gripped her slender shoulders lightly. "It worked well. She didn't feel any pain tonight.""That's good."Gwynn squeezed conditioner into her palm.As she maintained her skin, she casually chatted with her husband."Lorian's marriage plans are underway, but Holly isn't young either! Mary mentioned something to me tonight."Her nephew met Holly once and is interested in her. He's in the arts industry as well. Also, he comes from a very wealthy family."From what I gathered, they seem right for each other."Noah released his grip on Gwynn.He lay down on the bed and put his hands behind his head. He contemplated quietly and said, "Talk to them t

The dining hall suddenly turned cold.Holly looked at Lorian. Tears were already in her eyes, but the whole family was there. She needed to stop herself from losing control and shedding tears. It would be too embarrassing.After a moment, she lowered her gaze and said softly, "I can also develop my career in Brookesville. My home is here, and I won't stay in Silvercrest forever. "I'm going to come back home."…Lorian also looked at her, but he didn't say anything. After a while, he grabbed his coat and headed towards the door.His voice echoed from the hallway, "I'm going to the company. I'll drop Holly off at the art exhibition."Holly nibbled on a sandwich silently at the dining table.Gwynn patted her hand and spoke gently, "Ignore what Lorian says. You can come back home anytime you want. "Brookesville is developing well now. It's not inferior to Silvercrest. Besides, you'll feel better having your family to look out for you."Holly murmured in agreement. She finishe

Lorian drove away. He didn't realize that a rift appearing between him and Holly right then.Later on, he had great success in business, even surpassing Noah. However, the lady who had been willing to compromise and wait for him for six years was no longer waiting for him.Slowly but surely, he lost her!…Lorian drove to the company.The conference room was already filled with people. It was evident to everyone that he was in a bad mood. His handsome face was darkened, and he conducted the meeting with strictness towards the representatives of the Vaughan family.It was none other than Poppy.She thought to herself that Holly was the only person that could upset Lorian. He might be strict with other ladies, but, surprisingly, he was very affectionate toward Holly. Poppy might be displeased, but she didn't let it bother her. After all, how much patience could a man like Lorian have for Holly?The meeting ended, and they needed to discuss some details. Poppy was very beautif

Lorian walked out and opened the car door. He got in and tossed the bouquet onto the passenger seat. Then, he opened a phone app and quickly located Holly's position.She was at Cielo Restaurant. It was a high-end Inverleigh restaurant.He sneered and stepped on the gas pedal. The black Cullinan sped out of Sanders Villa before heading towards the city.Noah stormed outside, only to see the car's rear end.With one hand on his hip, he took out a cigarette with another and lit it. "He acted like he didn't care last night. Now, however, he's all in a rush. He has such a foul temper that I don't know who he gets it from."Noah took a couple of puffs before stubbing the cigarette out. Without his wife around, even the cigarette didn't seem appealing anymore.…Half an hour later, the black Cullinan stopped in front of the restaurant. The hood of the car faced the restaurant.Lorian saw Gwynn and Holly through the windshield. They were sitting with Mary and a young man under thi

In the presidential suite, the newlywed night was fiery, filled with affection and intimacy. The wedding banquet was still bustling with excitement.There was a special guest, who quietly arrived and hoped to leave just as quietly. He was afraid to disturb her mood and feared that if she saw him, she might not be pleased. 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. Besides Ella, there was another small girl with her, probably one of the twins she had with Keaton. The other twin was her brother.The twins were named Shay Bright and Drew Bright. Ella adored her younger siblings. Whenever she came home from school, she would always spend some time playing with them first. At night, she would sneak her little sister into her room and cuddle her to sleep, treating her like a little doll.At first, Yanni was quite worried, but she lat

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. Even more delightful, she was marrying her childhood love. Dressed in a headpiece and red bridal gown, she was as beautiful as could be, the most stunning woman Zion had ever seen.The Quarto family was busy with preparations. 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. Together with Zoe, they helped with the wedding arrangements. A traditional Chinese wedding was far more elaborate than a Western one, but thankfully, the families had enough help to avoid any chaotic moments.During the d

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
