I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1182
Tegan had received two bags of blood plasma, which helped her regain some strength. However, she was still weak. The Sanders family did not disturb her too much. They came to see Lola before settling in nearby accommodations, leaving only Lorian in the VIP room.The room was clean and fresh. Paityn and Lorian glared at each other. As far as she was concerned, he was an irresponsible scumbag. Meanwhile, he felt that she should have spoken up sooner. Neither could stand the other.In the early morning, the only sound in the room was Lola’s sweet, tiny breaths as she curled up with her little fists clenched. Lorian found her adorable, and his heart melted. Upon closer inspection, Lorian saw that Lola's profile resembled his, but her features had a soft gentleness like Tegan's. Overall, she was perfectly beautiful. Just as he was admiring her, Lola let out a loud cry.Lola’s pretty little face scrunched up, and her closed eyes squeezed out a few tears. This distressed Lorian. He picke

Paityn finished speaking in one breath. Normally, she wouldn’t have said these things, but perhaps it was because he had come to Crocksten.Jamie continued to watch her. His gaze was inscrutable. In reality, he had just given her one last chance. If she had shown a hint of regret or had been willing to throw herself into his arms, he could have cleared all obstacles for her. Jamie was ready and willing to marry her. Anyone who had objections to it would face his wrath. He would not allow others to interfere with his choice of wife.Jamie smiled faintly, his gaze lingering on her. Paityn had refused his offer. She spoke of her fallen family. However, hadn’t Tegan managed to be with Lorian? Why couldn’t Paityn marry Jamie? It had to be because he wasn't Lorian.Jamie extinguished his cigarette and pulled out a photograph from his suit pocket. He handed it to Paityn. His voice was cold. “This is the real reason, isn’t it, Paityn? You like Lorian. However, you turned to me instead

Lorian had almost become a husband to Leanna. He didn't want Tegan to be troubled. So, he stepped out of the room to answer the call. As soon as the call connected, Leanna's choked voice came through.“When are you coming back, Lorian? I understand that you left our wedding to see the baby. Now that you're done, shouldn't you come back and continue with our wedding?”In truth, there would be no wedding now. However, Lorian did not want to provoke Leanna further. He gently reassured her that he would return in a few days. She couldn’t hold back her tears at last.“I am supposed to be your future wife, Lorian! Are you really going to stay with Tegan because of the newborn? Do you know what the media in Brookesville are saying about you tonight? Also, Tegan is wrecking our relationship.”“She's not.” Lorian’s tone was firm, leaving Leanna shocked and heartbroken. She was not foolish. She could discern that Lorian was beginning to care about Tegan. Actually, there was a possibility tha

Tegan remembered those words and closed her eyes gently. “I haven’t thought about it.”Lorian saw how exhausted she was and decided not to press further. Instead, he gently took her hand and whispered, “Let’s not talk about this now. You need to rest. I’ll stay with Lola.”Tegan was too tired to argue. She succumbed to her fatigue. After enduring the strain of childbirth, she quickly fell into a deep sleep.As Tegan slept, Lorian remained vigil by her side. He glanced alternately at the tiny baby and her. Despite carrying the baby for ten months, her body hadn't regained its previous fullness. Her face was more gaunt and sharp than he remembered from that snowy day.Lorian touched Tegan's face gently. As he touched her skin, he realized the depth of his own feelings. The separation over the past half-year had not erased his thoughts of her. In fact, he had been suppressing his emotions. Now, he felt a surge of affection and physical yearning.Being a mature man, Lorian understood
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1186
There was the tenderness of a man and the love of a father in Lorian's eyes. He liked children and loved the child that Tegan had given birth to for him. He longed to personally care for Tegan and Lola and live with them day and night. Lorian had never desired a family this much before. He wondered if it was because he was getting older. Tegan didn't respond. He couldn't help but speak again, "I really regret it, Tegan." Tegan leaned against the headboard. The warm yellow light enveloped her like a layer of pale-colored glass. Tegan smiled lightly and asked, "Do you regret initiating the divorce back then, Lorian? Actually, I would've done it, even if you hadn't brought it up. At that time, our marriage had already hit a dead end. It wouldn't have worked no matter who initiated it."Lorian lowered his head to look at Lola. She had woken up. The newborn was only a few days old and couldn't see things more than half a foot away. However, she seemed to like Lorian's scent. One t

A long silence followed. Lorian put down the car keys again. He washed Lola's bottom and reapplied the ointment. Then, he gently patted her tiny bum. However, his words were directed at Tegan. "Two hours at most." Tegan didn’t stop Lorian this time. She got out of bed and slowly walked to the window. The pitch-black night was still drenched in heavy rain as if it would never end. Tegan's pale fingers lightly touched the cold glass, and she softly murmured for Lorian to be careful. Her voice was so faint, but he heard it. Then, he slipped on a thin black raincoat. Moments later, Tegan stood by the window and saw Lorian's figure appear by the car downstairs. She quietly watched him. Lorian was about to open the car door, but he seemed to sense her gaze. He paused and held the car door before he looked up at her. The rain drenched his coat, but he didn’t care at all. Lorian stared at Tegan through the curtain of rain. He looked at her hazy figure and blurred expression. He

Lorian looked at himself. His outer raincoat was indeed mostly soaked. He responded to Tegan naturally, "The rain outside hasn’t stopped, so I've gotten a bit wet going back and forth. I’ll take a hot shower later. It’ll be fine." Lorian was worried about getting the baby cold. So, he removed the black raincoat. He wore a white shirt and tailored trousers underneath. The well-cut and high-quality clothing accentuated his tall and fit physique, making him look quite pleasing to the eye. Lorian didn’t pay any attention to the nurse’s gaze. He opened the boxes before taking out the clean and fresh diapers. He washed his hands and picked up Lola. He began to change her diaper skillfully.Lola was sleeping soundly. So, she wasn’t in a good mood when she was disturbed. She squirmed a little in his hands and cried a little. Then, she kicked her little legs, which were surprisingly strong. It was probably because she was well-fed. Under the light, Lorian’s eyes were full of tendernes

Tegan couldn’t respond, and Lorian didn’t press her. Instead, he quietly stayed with her and Lola. After Tegan finished feeding the baby, he thoughtfully helped her button her clothes.Lorian changed Lola’s diaper once more, and gently settled her into her crib. He looked at her face while soothing the baby, but he spoke to Tegan, “I don’t trust anyone else to take care of you.” I don’t trust anyone else, he said. It was a simple statement, but it carried deep meaning and an undeniable intimacy.Tegan couldn’t send him away. She hoped that once they were discharged, he wouldn’t stay at her place indefinitely. She just needed to get through this period.The night grew increasingly quiet. The lights gradually went out. Only a warm, yellow night light was left. In the stillness of the night, their breathing was distinctly audible. Just as Tegan was about to fall asleep, she heard Lorian’s sigh. “I’m so happy to be back here with you.”…Tegan didn’t respond. She pretended to be

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
