Gael stepped on the gas pedal and drove away. In the rearview mirror, Carter stood holding Ansley and watching Gael's car until they could no longer see him. Only then did Ansley look up at her father and hand him the little teddy bear. She said, "There’s money inside the bear."Carter was a bit surprised. Ansley unzipped the back of the bear and pulled out a bank card. She told Carter there were 20 million dollars on it, and the password was her birthday. She also told him that Gael had given it to her.Carter held the bank card as his tears fell. He wasn’t greedy, but he knew deep down that Ansley’s future would be secure with this money. He felt like a failed father, but Gael had given her a bright future.Carter held Ansley as they boarded the ship bound for Singalune, bathing in the morning light. The sound of the ferry’s whistle echoed, marking the beginning of their new life.…Gael didn’t return to the villa. As far as he was concerned, the villa that held shared memorie

Gael hadn’t found peace, but he chose to let go.…Yanni stood quietly. The night was slightly cool, and her hand was held by Keaton.He spoke softly, "A man like Gael wouldn’t shortchange himself in life. I think he also wouldn’t allow himself to fall into despair."Yanni smiled faintly, "I believe that."The street stretched their shadows long and intertwined before fading away. New Year had passed, and they would be getting married in just over half a month. With many tasks at hand, their hearts were nonetheless full.Each of them would welcome a new life.On the sixth day of New Year, Yanni went to the hospital to arrange her work after the holiday. She had many things to handle, and she was busy until just before mealtime.Yanni returned to the office. As soon as she stepped in, Nylah informed her, "Mr. Gael just came by and left a paper bag."“Gael?” Yanni asked.Nylah nodded, “Yes, it’s Mr. Gael.”Yanni softly instructed Nylah to step out first. Once the room was empt

It was noon, and Jamie sat at a window seat in the most charming restaurant in Brookesville. Sunlight filtered through the glass, casting a soft golden hue around him. It enhanced his stunning appearance.This lunch was a blind date arranged by Zoe, and Jamie had heard that the woman was involved in the business. He didn’t like career-oriented women, probably due to the shadow cast by someone from his past.They had shared good times. When Jamie asked her if she wanted to be together, however, she rejected him firmly. Later, he found out that she had feelings for someone else. That man had overlooked her and instead chosen her younger sister during the blind date.Jamie’s expression darkened as he recalled those memories.At that moment, a slender figure blocked the sunlight in front of him. Jamie knew his blind date had arrived. He looked up, and his gaze froze. His white teeth clenched together in shock.“Paityn!”How dare she came here? How dare she showed up for a blind date
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1320
Jamie gazed at Paityn. His expression was inscrutable. After a moment, he finally released her delicate wrist. His voice was low and firm. “Finish the meal before you leave!”Paityn looked into Jamie's eyes, her calm demeanor betraying a hint of turbulence. After all, she was a person used to the business world. She wasn’t one to nitpick. After a brief moment of contemplation, Paityn took her seat again. The waiter began to serve the dishes. Jamie had arrived early, and he had ordered most of the food. Coincidentally, it was all her favorite dishes.Jamie’s domineering nature was something Paityn was well aware of, but she couldn't help but interject, “If it were anyone else on a blind date, the girl might not necessarily enjoy these dishes.”Jamie laid a pristine white napkin on his lap, his dark eyes showing a slight arrogance as he scoffed. “Don’t flatter yourself, Paityn! Do you really think I ordered these for you?”Jamie paused for a moment, and his voice grew even deeper.

Servants bustled about in the villa's grand hall, attending to various tasks. Mason and Zoe sat on the sofa. She was flipping through bridal magazines, likely for Yanni's sake. Meanwhile, he sipped his tea, appearing relaxed but frequently glancing toward the entrance. Eventually, Mason let out a sigh of relief when the sound of a car engine echoed from the courtyard. Zoe spoke softly, "Why not call and ask if you're so eager for them to get together?"Mason chuckled lightly, "Why should I be nervous?"As the couple chatted, Jamie entered from outside, shrugging off his coat. He frowned slightly when he noticed the yellow hue of the blossoms on his shoulder. Then, a servant approached to take the coat, smiling as she said, “The winter jasmines are blooming exceptionally well this year. They say spring flowers symbolize mischief, but I believe it’s a sign of double happiness for our family. "Mr. Jamie must have hit it off during your blind date today. His eyes are sparkling wi

Paityn seemed distracted several times while she was discussing business with Gael in the private room. She was clearly influenced by Jamie.Gael coughed lightly, “What’s wrong? Still can’t forget about Jamie?”Before Paityn could deny it, Gael smiled again, “You had a thing with him. So, it's not surprising that you think about him. Although he has a bit of a bad temper, he is indeed quite handsome. "Also, any lady who marries into the Lockwood family would be dreaming with joy. From what I see, though, the lady he’s with today doesn’t stand a chance. Jamie seems to have a particular taste.”Gael is Jamie's former brother-in-law. Although their relationship wasn't great before, they were family at one point. So, he had a basic understanding of him. His conclusion was simply reliable.After Gael’s remarks, Paityn couldn’t help but laugh, “I didn’t expect you to know him so well. Did Yanni talk about him a lot in the past?”Mentioning his ex-wife, Yanni, made Gael feel a wave of

Jamie asked casually, “Did they leave together?” The manager nodded. Then, he noticed Jamie’s expression darken, and he thought he must have misspoken. He wanted to say something to remedy the situation, but Jamie had already opened the door and climbed into his black Cullinan. The early spring weather was chilly. Sitting in the car felt like being in an icehouse, but Jamie didn’t start the engine. Instead, he sat in the frigid vehicle. His expression was indifferent as he pulled out a cigarette. He lit it and began to smoke slowly.Pale blue smoke rose as Jamie raised his hand to crack the window slightly. In the chill of the wind and the haze of smoke, he thought about his past with Paityn, including the good, the bad, the sweet, and the angry. Jamie seemed to recall that Paityn was the only woman in his life. From a physical to an emotional level, it felt like she was the only one he had ever connected with. However, she seemed unappreciative. After all, she had so many pros

The door to the ward opened gently, and the maid looked somewhat panicked. She said, “Ms. Paityn. There’s a lady who claims to be your sister and wants to see you.”Paityn looked up sharply. Was Tegan here?Sure enough, a travel-worn Tegan stood at the door. The moment she saw Paityn, her first question was, “Who is Carol's father?”Paityn hesitated. She wanted to keep it a secret. With that said, she might be able to hide it from others, but she couldn’t conceal it from her own sister. Tegan slowly walked in, making her way to the small hospital bed. She looked down at the sleeping Carol. The little girl’s oval face was pale and reminiscent of Paityn’s own features as a child. It looked like she was already about five years old.Tegan trembled as she touched Carol's face, connecting with the child who shared her bloodline. After a long moment, she quietly asked, “Did you have her while you were in college?”As the elder sister, Paityn was usually an undeniable authority in fron

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

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
