Chapter 1220

Author: Light Breeze
It was his legal wife—Yanni.

A series of camera clicks echoed. Yanni stood there with the phone in hand, and her expression was cold as she stared at Gael and Emilia.

Panic flashed across his face as he quickly pulled his hand away from Emilia’s grasp and walked toward Yanni. His gaze was intense as he looked at Yanni. “It’s not what you think.”

Yanni sneered, “Oh? What is it, then? Is it that you’re so incapable of taking care of yourself that Ms. Emilia has to be hired to serve you?”

Gael frowned, “There’s no need for such harshness, Yanni.”

Emilia quickly stepped in to block him. “Don’t blame Dr. Yanni for misunderstanding, Gael. It’s my fault for carelessly holding your arm and causing this. If anyone’s to blame, blame me!”

Emilia bit her lip and slapped herself hard across the face in an exaggerated manner. A red mark appeared on her cheek, and just looking at it was enough to make anyone uncomfortable.

Then, Emilia turned her pitiful gaze to Yanni and pleaded, “Please do

    After Gael asked, Yanni glanced at Keaton. She deliberately used a mocking tone: “He’s whoever you think he is. What is it, Gael? Do I need to get your approval to make friends?”Gael was infuriated. “Don’t go too far, Yanni! We’re still legally married, so don’t think you can have your cake and eat it too.”Yanni dismissed him with a wave. “You’re aware of your behavior, aren’t you? Gael, if you handled the divorce cleanly and then took care of Ms. Emilia and Ansley, I might think better of you. However, the way you’re acting now is just pathetic.”Gael’s gaze was icy. Yanni lightly raised her phone. “Remember to meet my lawyer tomorrow.”With that, she turned to leave, with Keaton accompanying her. Before they departed, he cast a cryptic glance at Gael, with a hint of inscrutable meaning.Keaton loved Yanni.In reality, Gael knew well that with Yanni’s character and busy schedule, she wouldn’t have an affair. However, Keaton was too dazzling and too impressive. He was certain t

    "Stop talking, Emilia.” “No, I want to say it! I’m afraid that if I miss today, I won’t have another chance. I’m afraid I’ll be held back by the fact that I’m Ansley’s mother and that Ansley’s life and death are still in Yanni’s hands… I feel so miserable inside, Gael."…At the next moment, Emilia was tightly embraced by Gael. Their scorching lips were pressed together firmly. They clung tightly as they embraced and caressed each other passionately as if trying to make up for years of regret. Their clothes were disheveled, and their bodies were in disarray. Emilia’s starry eyes were slightly closed, and she continuously called out Gael’s name, “What we’re doing is wrong, Gael. I never intended to destroy your family, nor do I want to ruin your relationship with Dr. Yanni. Let this moment last forever, Gael. Let me give myself to you, let us be selfish just this once.”Yanni, she said. Gael suddenly came to his senses. He had forgotten about Yanni. He had even forgotten that h

    Gael walked through the foyer and into the hall.Yanni was not downstairs. He took off his coat and asked the housekeeper, “Where’s Yanni?”The housekeeper knew that Gael and Yanni's relationship was strained and that both of them were clearly in a bad mood tonight. So, she was particularly cautious. “Ms. Yanni had a light meal when she got back and went upstairs afterward. She should be in the bedroom.”Gael nodded and started up the stairs.“Mr. Gael.” The housekeeper called out to him from the first-floor hall, but Gael was impatient and was focused on confronting Yanni. So, he replied curtly, “If it’s something important, tell me when I come downstairs for dinner.”The housekeeper swallowed her words. She actually wanted to tell Gael that there was lipstick on his shirt. Given his arrogant attitude, however, she thought he probably didn’t need her reminder.Gael continued up to the second floor.…Yanni was in the private lounge. She leaned back in a rocking chair, and her

    Yanni forcefully pushed Gael's hand away. She quietly looked at him and asked, "Do you really think our relationship is at a point where I’d need to spy on you, Gael? You and Emilia are always together. You two were even acting like a married couple near her apartment. "You bought her a house and arranged everything for her. I could easily charge you with bigamy, but I don’t want to take things to that extreme. I don't have time for this kind of thing in my life."…Gael was instantly ignited with anger. He tightened his grip on Yanni’s hand, and his eyes fixed on her. He said each word deliberately, "It’s always your life and your career, Yanni. Have you ever considered my feelings? Have you ever thought that I need warmth at home and a wife's care?"Yanni wasn’t going to let him manipulate her. She sneered, "Haven’t you gotten all that from Emilia? Why are you still acting so crazily, Gael? What are you still unsatisfied with? "You’ve got wealth and freedom. All that’s left is

    Gael had never felt so humiliated. After seven years of marriage, they finally tore off the masks and showed no mercy for each other. Yanni had not emerged unscathed from this marriage. She was hurt, while Gael also felt like a wounded animal.It was especially hurtful when Yanni had disdainfully said, "Is your brain broken, Gael?"Gael felt insulted. He was furious when he glared at Yanni. Then, he went to the study to call a doctor to tend to his wounds. He had an important shareholder meeting the next day, and a visible injury on his forehead would be inappropriate. As Gael examined his injury in the study’s glass cabinet, he suddenly noticed a lipstick mark on his white shirt. He remembered that Yanni had not worn makeup that day. Was this lipstick mark from Emilia?Gael’s mood sank abruptly. At that moment, a rush of footsteps and the sound of someone moving large suitcases came from outside.Gael's heart tensed. He hurried outside and saw a moving company bustling about, tr

    The maid didn’t believe Gael, but she didn’t contradict him. He had been injured, and it was normal for him to have delusions.At that moment, the sound of a car came from the courtyard. Gael’s heart surged with joy. He thought that Yanni had returned. Gael believed that she still had feelings for him. There was no way she couldn’t walk away so easily after seven years of marriage. She must have only said those things in anger.Gael eagerly went to meet the car. However, he realized it was his hired doctor driving as the vehicle approached, instead of Yanni. Under the moonlight, his handsome face was filled with indescribable disappointment. It felt more painful than when his own mother had passed away.As soon as the doctor entered the house, he sensed that something was amiss. The house felt empty with Yanni's belongings gone. However, the doctor was a perceptive man. He didn’t ask any questions. He quickly bandaged Gael’s wounds. Then, he took his payment and left in a hurry.

    Alex reluctantly took out a USB drive and said to Gael, "This is Ms. Yanni's final act of kindness! You wouldn’t want to be left in disgrace due to this divorce. Would you, Mr. Gael? "From my perspective, it's already quite generous of Ms. Yanni. She isn’t claiming any of your assets, and there are no financial disputes. That’s exceptionally rare. For someone in your situation, other women might not be as lenient. You would've ended up bankrupt or worse."Gael's eyes reddened. He replied coldly, "If Yanni wants a divorce, let her come and talk to me herself."Alex saw that Gael was not changing his mind. He left helplessly. From that day on, Yanni applied for separation. This meant that if Gael continued to refuse to let go, they would be legally divorced after two years of separation, regardless of his unwillingness.As dusk fell, Gael received a call from Emilia. He went to visit Ansley and discuss the child’s treatment plan with the doctor. However, he found that Emilia was not

    It was Gael. However, Emilia was alone in the security passage when he came over. She looked extremely fragile. When she saw Gael, tears began to stream down her face.“Carter’s such a terrible person, Gael! He found out I was here treating Ansley and came over to make trouble for both of us. He brought a stuffed toy to lure Ansley away, pretending to be a good dad. "You don’t know this, Gael, but he usually doesn’t care about Ansley’s well-being at all. He even threatened me with Ansley to get 200 thousand dollars from me. He doesn’t work hard. He’s just thinking about gambling to make a comeback.“My life is so hard, Gael. I accept that I’ve had bad luck with people, but Ansley is innocent. Even if we get rid of him this time, I don’t know if he’ll come back to cause trouble again.”…Emilia’s acting skills were superb, and Gael was completely convinced. However, he would never have imagined that the fragile Emilia before him had an astonishing amount of energy. Emilia slept

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.

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

    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
