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
Ansley was frightened. She held the toy carefully as she looked at the adults. Gael said to Emilia, “Don’t scare Ansley. I’ll just rinse it with water.” Then, Gael pulled out his phone from his suit pocket and placed it on the small table before walking into the bathroom attached to the ward.Emilia had secretly seen Gael’s password. As the sound of running water came from the bathroom, Emilia quietly picked up Gael’s phone and cast a warning glance at Ansley. Ansley was obedient. She knew that if she didn’t behave, her mother would leave her on the street.Initially, Emilia only intended to check on Gael’s progress with his divorce. However, she was surprised to find a video of her own passionate moments with Gael in the car. It was something that Yanni had sent to Gael.Emilia bit her lip. She thought that once this video was leaked, it would make it even harder for Gael and Yanni to reconcile. Even external rumors would force Yanni to cut ties. Emilia used the phone to record t
Even though Keaton made it sound casual, Yanni was a mature person. She keenly sensed the subtle and cautious probing behind his words. She responded straightforwardly, “Are you asking about the divorce?”Keaton looked at Yanni, but he didn't answer or press further. His deep-set eyes revealed his thoughts, and any lady could understand what he was implying.After a brief silence, the traffic light turned green. Yanni’s voice was slightly husky as she said, “Drive on.”Keaton nodded and slowly drove the car. They did not speak for a long time. Yanni turned her face toward the window and looked at the scenery outside. After a while, Yanni suddenly spoke, "I don’t want to become like Gael, Keaton. A relationship must start cleanly. As of right now, we can only be ex-classmates or you can become my patient. At most, we can be ordinary friends. If you…”Keaton’s voice was pleasant as he interrupted, “Don’t worry, I won’t overstep.”Yanni was at a loss for words. Keatontook the words
Yanni was two years older than Keaton. She was taken aback when he had his daughter call her "miss." With a quick eye-roll, Yanni gently pinched the little girl’s cheek. “You can call me Yanni. Next time, I’ll bring you some small cakes.”Ella held onto Keaton and proudly addressed her, “You're pretty, Yanni.”Yanni was compressed. What a high EQ Ella had.Meanwhile, Keaton continued to smile. “I’m really sorry, Yanni. I still remember you as the high school girl I knew.”Yanni might've been a bit slow to catch on, but she understood it clearly now. Ella was not ill at all. Keaton had simply used an excuse to invite Yanni to his home. With that said, she didn’t turn around and leave. It was partly due to her own pride and partly because Ella, who was clinging to her, was irresistibly cute. The little girl looked like a soft and sweet dumpling. Ella was sweating lightly, but she smelled wonderfully fragrant.Keaton loosened a couple of buttons on his shirt and said to Yanni, “Ple
Yanni chose medium-well. Keaton’s dark eyes became even more profound. "Medium-well it is."Keaton's voice was truly captivating. It was like he was whispering sweet words to her. Yanni’s ears grew warm. At the same time, she felt a bit annoyed. Keaton was a single man without a wife. Had he always been flirting with ladies like this?Keaton saw Yanni was embarrassed and annoyed. He smiled slightly. "Tell Ms. Yanni how I always maintain my integrity, Julia."Julia quickly replied, "I've said it, I've said it! I won't forget the pre-rehearsed lines. There's absolutely nothing to worry about, Mr. Keaton."Keaton smiled faintly. His confidence was almost maddening. It didn't matter how angry Yanni was. When Ella hugged her arm and called out to her in a soft and sweet voice, any anger she had melted away. Then, Keaton winked at Ella.Yanni was at a loss for words. It had to be said that Keaton’s cooking skills were quite impressive, and the dining atmosphere at the Bright family’s ta
Keaton's words carried a hint of flirtatiousness. Yanni's heart skipped a beat. She was unsure how to respond. He didn’t seem to mind. He lightly stepped on the gas pedal after confirming her address. Then, he drove her home.The night was calm and serene, and the Rolls-Royce Ghost sped along the road. Neither of them spoke. Keaton's intentions were clear, while Yanni had no desire to accept them, at least for now. However, the silence between them wasn’t uncomfortable. It felt peaceful instead.After Yanni moved out of the house she shared with Gael, she sent the servants back to the Lockwood Villa. For now, she lives in a small apartment near the hospital. She hadn’t hired a dedicated housekeeper. Yanni relied on Nylah to arrange for someone to clean the place regularly. As for her meals, she usually ate at the hospital. She would prepare simple dishes at home during her off days.Half an hour later, the car came to a stop at the apartment building. Keaton turned to look at Yann
