Lorian didn't expose the awkwardness. He didn't linger with Tegan for long, either. He merely mentioned that he needed to go back to the Sanders family home. Lorian asked Tegan to get up and have breakfast together. He suggested they buy some gifts before returning to the Sanders family for lunch. Tegan vaguely remembered that today was the day Holly was coming back. She paused for a moment. However, she knew better than to compete with Holly. She just gave a faint smile and got up to wash.When Tegan went downstairs, Lorian was already sitting in the dining room. He had a cup of black coffee and a newspaper beside him. He was engrossed in reading. Lorian had taken off his dark coat and draped it over the back of the chair. He wore a crisp white shirt. The morning light shone on Lorian's young and handsome face, making him a sight to behold.As Tegan sat next to him, Lorian folded the newspaper and looked up at her. Noticing that she was wearing a Chanel outfit, he recalled

Children?Tegan was stunned for a moment. She recalled that they hadn't used protection in the two times they had sex. It was clear that Lorian wanted a child.Lorian didn't deny it. He spoke calmly as he paid, "Two kids, probably. Preferably a brother and sister."For a while, Tegan didn't respond. He turned to look at her, lowering his head slightly. "What's wrong?"Tegan lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. It took her a while to muster the courage to look up at him. "What if I can't have a son, Lorian?"Tegan's mother had given birth to two daughters and had become infertile after a difficult delivery. Her mother hadn't been able to have a son and had lived a hard and tragic life. Tegan was afraid of following in her mother's footsteps. She was afraid of being rejected by Lorian.Lorian looked at her quietly with his dark eyes and smiled faintly. "A daughter is also wonderful! The Sanders family still has Ocelotte, after all."Tegan sighed in relief

The sound of the water in the bathroom stopped.Then, Lorian opened the bathroom door and stepped out, revealing his tall and slender body. His bathrobe hung loosely and exposed his wet, dark hair. A bead of water rolled down from his sharply defined jawline. It traced along his chest and firm abs, finally disappearing into his seductive abdomen.Lorian dried his hair as he fixed his dark eyes on Tegan, who was lying on the bed.She wasn't used to bright light, so she had dimmed the bedside lamp. The soft glow cast a delicate sheen on her fair skin, making her appear fragile and beautiful.From a man's perspective, their marital life was harmonious.Although Tegan wasn't stunningly beautiful, her body was alluring. Lorian enjoyed her reactions and expressions during their intimate moments. For a man, sexual harmony could make a marriage less monotonous.Moreover, Tegan had a gentle temperament and a routine. There was nothing to complain about.Lorian finished drying his hair

A son, Jennifer said. Tegan felt a twinge of sadness in her heart. She didn't want to upset her mother, so she said nothing. She merely responded softly, "Mm-hmm."Since Tegan planned to stay overnight at the McKinney Villa, she made a point of calling Lorian at four in the afternoon to inform him of her plans. Tegan added, "There's no need to trouble Philip in the morning. I'll have the driver from home take me to school."Lorian was at the Sanders Group, sitting in the CEO's office. He held the phone while talking to Tegan, reviewing the documents on his desk. After he ensured everything was in order, he signed them and handed them to Kris. "Make copies and distribute them."Kris didn't leave immediately. She quietly asked, "Would you like to invite Ms. Tegan to tonight's year-end company banquet?"Lorian had already hung up the phone. He smiled faintly. "Tegan is at her parents' house. Maybe next time."Kris said nothing further and left the office with the documents in h

Tegan watched quietly.It turned out that last night was the Sanders Group's year-end banquet, but Lorian hadn't mentioned it to her over the phone. He must not have intended to invite her.Tegan recalled a line from a television show."I suppose I’m just not worthy!"Tegan felt a pang of discomfort. Their marriage might've been devoid of love, but she still felt slighted and disrespected when she saw a movie star publicly kiss her husband and get featured in the newspaper.Otherwise, how could such a thing be made public? The Sanders Group’s public relations team was competent, after all.With that said, it was only a bit of discomfort. Tegan didn't dare to have high expectations when it came to their marriage. So, It was just a tiny bit of disappointment.That was right. Just a little bit.Tegan folded the newspaper. She heard her colleagues' hushed voices around her. They were gossiping carefully, and a few snippets reached her ears.“It's not easy to have a life in a wealt

The married couple ate in surprising silence.The household servants tried to lighten the mood with a few jokes, but the young married couple didn't smile. Soon, the servants fell silent.As they neared the end of the meal, Lorian put down his utensils and looked at Tegan. He spoke softly, "The photo was taken by a reporter. Nothing happened last night. I won't be inviting the female celebrity's company again."Tegan understood that this was his attempt at an explanation.She believed Lorian's words, as someone in his position would have little reason to lie to his wife. However, this emotionless explanation felt more like it was meant for his wife, whoever it may be, instead of because he cared about her.Tegan was clear about her own priorities. She gave a soft hum in response, choosing not to mention her exclusion or ask any questions. Tegan's discretion pleased Lorian. In his mind, the incident was over. He lightly patted her arm and said, “I’m going to the study to handle s

Lorian and Tegan finished having sex. In the dim light of the bedroom, the air was still tinged with the lingering, intimate scent of their lovemaking. Lorian lay back. His muscular chest glistened with sweat. It was evidence of his exertion. After catching his breath, he turned to Tegan and asked her a private question softly, “It’s been a while. Why haven’t we conceived yet?”Lorian gently stroked Tegan's flat abdomen. Clearly, he was yearning for a child.Tegan was still softly catching her breath. Hearing her husband's question, she stared up at the dark ceiling. She suppressed the ache in her eyes as she responded, “Maybe it’s just not meant to be yet.”“Perhaps,” Lorian agreed with her explanation. He suggested they shower together to save time, but Tegan declined. She said that she wasn’t accustomed to sharing a bath.Lorian didn’t insist. They each took their showers separately, in the master bedroom and guest bathroom, respectively. Then, they went to bed.Lorian fe

Lorian squinted slightly as he observed Tegan conversing with the tall, well-dressed man beneath the Maple tree. She was relaxed, which was a stark contrast to the tension she often displayed with him. The man’s refined aura and his lingering gaze on Tegan spoke volumes. There was an unmistakable trace of admiration and affection in his eyes.In the depths of winter, a man willing to stand outside with a woman could only be after either her affection or something more, Lorian mused. He had little patience for such displays, so he approached them directly."Tegan."Lorian was just a step away from Tegan when he called out to her. She looked up in surprise. Clearly, she was not expecting him to be there to pick her up. After a moment’s hesitation, Lorian extended his hand toward the man."I'm Lorian. I'm Tegan's husband," Lorian introduced himself. His tone was polite and firm.Dustin was indeed surprised. He was familiar with Lorian, who was the president of the Sanders Group. Ho

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
