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

Tegan’s body tensed. After a while, she managed to recover and gently struggled: “Lorian?”Compared to her agitation, Lorian seemed nonchalant. His handsome face rested on her thin shoulder, and the high-quality wool shawl felt comfortable against him. Lorian tightened his embrace and drew her closer. His voice was husky and charming. “Come back to Brookesville with me. It has the best medical care and education. It’s most beneficial for Lola to grow up there. Hmm?”Lorian finished speaking, and his dark eyes fixed on Tegan unblinkingly. She lowered her eyelashes and murmured, “Let me go first.”However, Lorian had finally embraced her. So, he was reluctant to let go. Instead, he pulled her even closer. Their bodies pressed together in an intimacy, which was reminiscent of their past as a couple.Tegan couldn't resist Lorian. So, she chose to ignore his impact on her. She looked out at the green leaves and spoke honestly, “I will live here with Lola for the next few years.”Lori

Tegan had just become a mother, and could hardly bear to sleep. She wanted to check on Lola every moment.As the bedroom lights dimmed, Lorian returned to the sofa and lay down. He gently closed his eyes and murmured, “Go to sleep early. I’ll bring Lola over to you at night.”Tegan wanted to refuse but hadn’t spoken yet when Lorian seemed to fall asleep. In the dim light, he lay quietly on the sofa. He stretched one arm out over the baby crib and rocked it gently. The mild rhythmic motion made Tegan’s heart ache.Tegan wasn't made of stone. She could not feel completely indifferent while Lorian showed such tenderness to the baby as well as the way he cared for her. However, it was all too late for them. If Lorian and Tegan's relationship were to be maintained by a child, then it would seem too fragile. She didn’t want to compromise her future. She needed to find a way to talk things through with him, to set boundaries. For example, if Lorian wanted to see Lola, he could wait unt

Tegan admitted that she was indeed moved. After all, a man like Lorian was willing to set aside his status and all his official duties to accompany her through childbirth and postpartum recovery.Lorian was even taking care of Lola day and night, which had made her life quite comfortable over the past half month. She had also become much healthier and fuller.Lorian was so gentle and attentive that it was hard for Tegan to resist. She pressed her face against his as he embraced her. She felt his warmth as she listened to his affectionate words. How could she not be affected? With that said, Tegan still maintained a degree of rationality. She gently pushed him away and said, “I don’t have feelings for you right now.”Tegan tried to get up, but Lorian wouldn’t let go. He wanted to kiss her again. This time, she didn’t let him succeed. She placed her delicate and fair hand over his handsome lips. Tegan murmured softly, “If you keep this up, I’ll have to move away somewhere you can’

Lorian stepped out of the car. He was dressed impeccably and appeared particularly distinguished under the colorful neon lights. At that moment, Kris also exited from the front seat of the car and approached Lorian. She said softly, “Please go inside, Mr. Lorian. Mr. Noah and the Hensley family are already here.”Lorian gave a reserved nod and ascended the steps. The corridor of the business club was long and luxurious, with the crystal chandeliers casting their light on the shadows of the group while they swayed gently. The manager opened the door to a private room for them and said, “This is the room, Mr. Lorian.”Lorian looked inside and saw his parents and the Hensley family seated across from each other, clearly divided. The round table was set with some dishes, but no one seemed interested in eating.Noah and Gwynn let out a sigh of relief when Lorian arrived. Leanna's slender body was tense. She watched the man who almost became her husband walk in. Lorian didn’t look a

Leanna had had a drink. She stood in front of the Rolls-Royce Phantom in a form-fitting and seductive dress. Her arms were opened in a final attempt to win Lorian back, who was sitting inside the car.Lorian quietly observed Leanna from the black Rolls-Royce Phantom. It was true that he had never loved her. On top of that, their engagement had been called off. However, he still felt compelled to get out of the car and speak with her.Leanna's face lit up with surprise. She called out his name and reached out to touch him. However, the indifference in his eyes made her hesitate. Overwhelmed, she shook her head gently and took a step back.Leanna glanced at the villa in the darkness. Then, she looked back at Lorian. Her voice was soft and filled with pain. “You’ve moved back here? From the very beginning, you didn’t want to part ways with Tegan, did you? You were just too proud, too afraid of disappointing her. "Now that she’s given birth to your child, you finally have a legitimate

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.

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.

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
