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
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1231
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

Yanni didn't want to explain. If she did, Gael might think she still cared about him. She forcefully pushed him away and pointed at the elevator door, telling him to get lost. However, Gael had lost his composure, and he was unwilling to let go. He grabbed Yanni and kissed her forcefully while he aggressively groped her. He wanted her to forget Keaton. He wanted her to remember him and no one else. He intended to rekindle the passion of their past.Yanni refused to yield. From the moment she moved out, she was certain that their marriage was over. Now that Gael was being forceful, She quickly fumbled in her handbag for the pepper spray. Yanni aimed it at Gael’s face and sprayed. The chili pepper spray burned his face, leaving him no strength to take advantage of her.Gael was in a complete mess. Yanni seized the opportunity to escape. She even kicked him before taking another elevator back to her apartment. Once the door to her apartment was closed, she leaned against it and fi

A harsh screech of brakes echoed as the silver Cullinan skidded to a stop at the side of the road.When the car halted, Gael gripped his phone and turned to look at Yanni. His expression and gaze were icily cold, but his voice was unusually soft. "Yanni.. Ms. Yanni. Is this how you want to leave me? Are you so eager to ruin me and then move on to Keaton?"Yanni frowned, "What are you freaking out about now, Gael?"Gael gulped as he spoke slowly and deliberately, "Why did you release the video? I can give you whatever you want, Yanni. I can give you a faithful marriage, attentive companionship… Everything. Why did you have to put it out there? "Did you do it for Keaton? Have you fallen in love with him?" Video? Yanni looked down and gave a cold smile. “That video isn’t just in my possession, Gael. You must have a copy too. How can you be sure it didn’t leak from you? "Let me make it clear. I would never stoop to this level. With that said, you’ve exposed yourself to the public.

Gael pressed the button for the top floor and stared at the red numbers with a blank expression. After a moment, he asked softly, “What does the public relations department say? How do they plan to handle this situation?”Grace replied honestly, “The public relations department is in a tough spot. They’ve come up with one solution, and that's for you to announce that you and Ms. Yanni have reached a mutual divorce agreement. "This way, the issue can be shifted from a legal and ethical standpoint to a personal matter. The public will likely lose interest after a few days.”Gael was silent for a while before speaking hoarsely. “After all this time, this is the best they could come up with? I can’t make that announcement. I’m not going to divorce Yanni.”Grace could only agree, “Yes, Mr. Gael. After all, you still have feelings for your wife.” She added with frustration, “I really don’t know who did this! It’s so unethical.”Gael swallowed hard as the elevator doors opened. He left

Keaton wore a calm expression, but his gaze suddenly fell on Yanni's beautiful face and his voice tightened slightly, "What's wrong with your face?"Keaton had learned about the incident with Ressington Tech Co. He expressed his apologies to Yanni, saying that he shouldn't have given her that video, which provided an opportunity for others to take advantage. Judging by Keaton's words, he didn't suspect that Yanni was behind this incident at all. Instead, there was only regret and sympathy for the unfairness she had endured.Yanni was somewhat surprised that Keaton understood her. Her husband, Gael, whom she had been married to for seven years, immediately assumed she was responsible when things went wrong. Gael even slapped Yanni without a second thought! Reflecting on their marriage over the past seven or eight years, Yanni had always been content with a simple life. Meanwhile, Gael immersed himself in the pleasures and vices of the business world.Simply put, Gael was no longe

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.

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
