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

Lorian said, “Tegan doesn’t want to come back. She wants to stay in Crocksten a bit longer. I’m running back and forth. Sometimes, dealing with women is just impossible.”The servant smiled in agreement. Lorian sat briefly before heading to the study on the second floor. He aimed to finish his work early so he could fly to Crocksten on Friday to see Lola and Tegan, even if it was just for a couple of nights.In the blink of an eye, it was 2:00 am. When the night was quiet, Lorian exited the study and walked into the villa’s corridor. He opened the door to the master bedroom, which he had shared with Tegan. He stood in the center of the room and removed his tie gently.At that moment, he was overwhelmed by longing. Lorian hadn’t expected that Leanna would already travel to Crocksten before he himself had a chance to go there.Back in Crocksten, Tegan sat in a café. She was dressed in a white shirt and a light gray woolen shawl over her. She might've looked delicate and slightly weak

Lorian’s voice was calm and unyielding. “Yes, I’m heartbroken.”Leanna could hardly believe it. She hadn't even done anything to Tegan, and yet he was this protective of the latter. It showed how much he cared. Leanna’s heart ached, but Lorian turned to Tegan and said, “You should go back first. I’ll talk to her for a bit before coming home.”Home? Leanna was stunned. Lorian referred to Tegan’s place as his home, which left her feeling even more bewildered. What did that make her? Was she the former fiancée? Leanna watched as Tegan left. Lorian even helped the latter up thoughtfully, indicating how much he longed to be with Tegan. What did that make Leanna, then?After Tegan left, Lorian’s gaze returned to Leanna. He couldn't smoke inside the café, so he placed his cigarette case on the table as he sat down. His eyes were fixed on Leanna, and his voice was unusually cold. It was a stark contrast to the warmth he had shown in Brookesville. Leanna’s presence in Crocksten had cle

Lola's skin was soft and tender, but her hair was sparse, resembling a cute little kiwi. As Lorian gently touched their baby daughter, Tegan shifted uncomfortably. He couldn't help but chuckle softly.Lorian's voice was very hoarse. "We're still married, Tegan."Tegan turned her back to him. "Not anymore."Lorian moved closer and sat beside her. He gently embraced her from behind and displayed a tenderness he had rarely shown."Are you still upset about Leanna? We’ve already called off our engagement. Don’t take her words too seriously. She means nothing to me now. Also, nothing ever happened between us."Tegan instinctively resisted him, but Lorian did not relent. He continued to hold her and play with Lola, who was in her arms. It turned Tegan's face red and her heart raced. She couldn't control her emotions.They had been married and were deeply familiar with each other's bodies and feelings. Lorian’s chiseled face pressed against her neck. His voice was soft and seductive.

Tegan looked at Lorian.The bedroom lights were all off. The only thing visible was Lorian's outline as he lay on the sofa. The weather at the end of August was starting to get a bit chilly. However, Lorian liked the coolness and only had a thin blanket over him.Tegan's mind was swirling with Paityn's words from earlier. Did she still love Lorian? She couldn't fall asleep with so much on her mind. She tossed and turned.In the darkness, Lorian's low and husky voice came through: "If you really can't sleep, how about we do something else?"Tegan was at a loss for words. She thought Lorian was truly shameless. However, she did feel a bit unsettled. So, she decided to get up. She intended to go to the bathroom to wash her face and calm down. As soon as Tegan started to rise, a firm arm grabbed her. The next thing she knew, a warm body was lying beside her, holding her tightly and refusing to let go.Tegan froze for a moment. "Lorian!"Lorian held her close in the darkness. He did

At 9:00 am, Lorian took Tegan and Lola to the hospital for a check-up.Once they were in the car, Lorian turned to look at his wife and daughter in the back seat. He spoke in a very gentle tone. Tegan responded softly, "Okay.” Instead of starting the car right away, however, Lorian continued in a softer voice: “How about moving back to Brookesville with me? If you want to visit your mother, we can fly over together. I want to be with you and Lola every day, Tegan. Let’s remarry!”Tegan’s smile froze slightly.Lorian wouldn’t let her avoid the issue. He fixed his gaze on her, “Have you still not changed your mind after you have all night to think about it?”In the past, Tegan would have agreed without hesitation. After what happened last night, however, she felt less certain. She gently touched Lola's face with her delicate fingers and murmured, “Let me think about it.”Lorian playfully added, “A man’s youth is limited too.”“Find someone else, then,” Tegan responded with a hint

Bright red blood flowed down from Lorian's forehead, gathering drop by drop along his nose before falling onto the hood of the car. The world seemed to freeze, leaving only the sound of his blood dripping.Lorian's long, delicate hands pressed against the car hood. He tried very hard to stand up. Despite that, however, he couldn't muster any strength. In the end, he could only blink gently as he gazed at Tegan and Lola. Their figures were reflected in his pupils, his sight, and his world.Tegan turned around. What she saw was Lorian lying in a pool of blood. Her pupils dilated, and she couldn't make a single sound. She couldn't even call out his name. For a long time, she could only stand there, locking gaze with him.Every time Lorian blinked, it felt so long. Every inch Tegan moved closer to him was an immense struggle. She fell into deep thought.You cannot die, Lorian. I hadn’t forgiven you yet. Our child was only 100 days old. We hadn’t even watched her grow up, nor had we s

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
