He expected Tegan to avoid his gaze, but she didn’t. Instead, she met his eyes and reached out to gently caress his handsome face. Her voice was soft and tender. “Isn’t it natural for me to care about you? Or do you not need my care?”“Why wouldn’t I need it?” Lorian's voice grew even more raspy. Without wasting any time, he gently pressed her head down and kissed Tegan tenderly. As they kissed, Lorian chatted with her about Lola and the dinner menu. In the end, his contented laughter filled the room. His smile was incredibly charming. It was a rare quality that Tegan could not resist. With Tegan in his embrace, Lorian didn’t rush into anything with her after their kiss. Instead, they rested their foreheads together and spoke intimately. Ultimately, he wanted to reconcile with Tegan.Tegan didn’t refuse outright. She trembled in his arms and murmured, “Aren’t we doing well like this?”“Where’s the good in it? This isn't enough! I feel it’s not enough, Tegan.”…When it came

Lorian's words were ambiguous, which made Tegan blush. He did it intentionally. He didn't press further when he saw her reaction.Lorian happily started the engine. He engaged in light and cheerful conversation with Tegan. He would mention things about work, like the new attractive female secretary in the office, even though he had no particular interest in such matters. Lorian simply wanted to make Tegan a little jealous. She had always indulged him. Recently, their time together was genuinely pleasant. It resembled the typical life of a couple but with an added layer of affection and sweetness.Lorian wasn’t one to vocalize his love, but he expressed his feelings through actions. His daily tenderness and passionate nights were such examples. He also gave gifts to Tegan regularly, which made her feel inexplicably moved. In return, Tegan gave Lorian small surprises, whether it was a shirt or tie she personally chose or something he liked for the night. In short, their relationshi

Lorian slowly walked forward. His gaze swept over Gael and Emilia. She was holding onto Gael's arm with a tearful look. If one didn’t know better, one would really think they were a loving couple.“Lorian.” Gael was a bit flustered. After all, Lorian was Yanni’s cousin. If the latter misunderstood and told Yanni, and Yanni ended up causing trouble for Emilia, he’d feel guilty.Emilia already had it tough, having to take care of Ansley!Gael hurriedly explained, "Emilia is my former college classmate."Lorian sneered, "Wasn’t she your old flame?" Lorian was so blunt that it made the couple uncomfortable, especially Emilia, whose face turned pale. Her lips moved for a long time but she couldn't explain a single word, which made Gael feel heartbroken. Gael directly said to Lorian, "That's in the past. Don’t go telling Yanni some nonsense."Ansley hugged Gael's leg. She looked very much like Emilia, and she was staring intently at Lorian with a hint of caution. Just looking at her

Gael reached her side, and his voice was unusually gentle: “It’s so cold. Why don’t you come inside?”Yanni looked up at him. Gael’s face was bathed in moonlight, looking mature and handsome. Strictly speaking, he was quite faithful to his role as a husband. For a long time after their marriage, they lived a plain but happy life. That was, until Emilia appeared. Emilia was very beautiful, with a kind of delicate charm that made a man long for her. However, it was also Emilia's presence that made Yanni realize the truth about her marriage. Yanni discovered why Gael had pursued her and wanted to marry her. It was because she resembled Emilia—the lady he loved but couldn't get. It was truly laughable how Yanni became a mere substitute.Later, their marital relationship gradually grew cold. Gael was busy taking care of Emilia and Ansley. He had rarely come home, but Yanni couldn't be bothered with it. Yanni often thought about divorce during her lonely nights, but various matter

Gael arrived at the hospital in the dead of night. As soon as he entered the ward, Emilia threw herself into his arms. Her delicate face rested against his shoulder, and she appeared so vulnerable and helpless. Any man would find it hard to resist such an embrace, especially when they were old flames. Gael told himself that his feelings for Emilia were purely sympathetic. Emilia’s voice was choked with sobs: “What should we do, Gael? I really can’t bear to think about losing Ansley. I’ll fall apart. I really will.”Gael gently held her shoulders and looked at Ansley in the small bed. After emergency treatment, Ansley’s condition was stabilized and she was now asleep. However, Gael didn’t want to discuss this in front of the child. He encouraged Emilia to be strong and assured her that he would find a way to cure Ansley’s illness.Naturally, Emilia was moved. She leaned into the man's embrace and gripped his shirt tightly as she silently wept. After a long while, she lifted her

Gael’s breathing grew rapid as Emilia whispered into his ear, “I’ve missed you so much all these years, Gael.” He clenched his fists and resisted her temptation. Back in college, Gael and Emilia had been involved. His willpower was the only thing preventing something unspeakable from happening tonight. However, he hadn’t lost his rationality. He didn’t want to divorce Yanni for now.…Yanni had breakfast alone in the morning. The house staff had heard rumors and knew that Gael had a mistress outside. One of the maids serving breakfast expressed their dissatisfaction, “Mr. Gael was seduced and led away again last night. Aren’t you going to stop him?” Yanni flashes her an indifferent grin. “I can't hold him against his will.” The maid scolded her for being too lenient. Yanni considered not mentioning the divorce to the staff. Most of the servants in the villa were sent from the Lockwood Manor to ensure her comfort. If she divorced Gael, she would have to reassign these serva

Gael frowned, “Yanni!”Yanni sneered. Then, she let the smile gradually fade. She looked at Gael as if she were staring at an unreasonable stranger. “Please call me Ms. Yanni or Dr. Yanni. You should also recognize your status, Mr. Gael. You’re merely a family member of a patient in Lockwood Hospital. You're not even an officially recognized one. The biological parents can treat you as a mere outsider.”Gael was provoked and blurted out, “Emilia is divorced.”There was a deathly silence in the office. After a moment, Yanni spoke softly, “In that case, I’m willing to support you. If we finalize the divorce this afternoon, not only will I support you, but I’ll also agree to take on Ansley's case.”Gael was unwilling to accept. He was indeed concerned about Emilia and Ansley, but he wasn’t willing to end his marriage over them. He was also unsure whether Yanni might use her position to retaliate after the divorce.It was possible that Yanni would ruin Gael's reputation and the stoc

Emilia’s face was filled with genuine sincerity. How could Gael resist such a display?Gael gently embraced Emilia’s shoulders, trying to offer comfort. However, she continued to cry uncontrollably. Ansley clung to his leg, calling him "Uncle Gael" in a soft voice. At this moment, Gael felt a surge of resentment towards Yanni. He felt she was heartless and unfeeling. How could a doctor refuse to save a child?Gael’s voice was hoarse as he said, “She demands a divorce before she will treat Ansley.”Emilia was momentarily stunned. Then, she couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of joy. She had thought that someone like Gael would be fiercely clung to by Yanni. To her surprise, Yanni was willing to consider divorce. Emilia quickly composed herself and cautiously proposed to Gael: “Gael. Why don’t you arrange a fake divorce with Ms. Yanni? Why don't you do it for Ansley's sake? "Once Ansley's illness is treated, you can win Ms. Yanni back. I’m sure if you show sincere remor

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.

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

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
