As the guests took their seats, Jamie finally returned to the banquet hall.Keaton and Yanni had invited 100 tables of guests for their wedding. This was the largest and most luxurious hall in Brookesville, and it was packed to the brim. Jamie was a relative of the bride. Naturally, he was seated at the main table. Yara saw him coming over and softly called out, "Over here, Jamie."He took a few steps in that direction. Before he sat down, however, he spotted Paityn at the adjacent table. She was sitting with Tegan, and they were two seats away from Lorian. The corners of Paityn's eyes were faintly red. Upon closer inspection, it was clear she had been crying. Looking at her tonight, she wasn’t wearing an evening gown, Instead, she wore a sleek and semi-sheer ensemble. She looked formal yet undeniably sexy.Paityn's figure had always been good, and no one knew this better than Jamie. He couldn't help but think back to those years, to that uncontrollable night. They were young, a

After the two of them set down their glasses, Yara became even more bashful, and she leaned entirely against Jamie. They looked sweet and affectionate together.Underneath the dazzling crystal chandelier, Jamie’s handsome face held a hint of restraint, which was quite alluring to women. However, his gaze was dark and focused intently on Paityn.…Paityn’s face turned pale. Such a scene was too cruel for her. She had to muster all her strength to control her emotions, ensuring she didn’t lose her composure in such a setting. Jamie’s gaze remained fixed on Paityn as if the entire world had been reduced to just the two of them. Even the most oblivious guests could sense the tension at this moment, especially Yara, who anxiously tugged at Jamie's sleeve and asked, “What’s wrong, Jamie?”Jamie's expression was indifferent as he raised his glass to toast the table with a light drink before moving to another table.Tegan tightly grasped Paityn's wrist, giving her strength.Lorian was

In the hotel parking lot, Paityn opened the car door and was about to get in when a familiar deep voice came from behind her: “Are you heading back?”Paityn stiffened. It was Jamie. She slowly turned around and saw Jamie's face illuminated under the cold lights. He stood about three or four steps away, and his dark eyes were denser than the night itself as if he intended to devour her whole with his gaze.The atmosphere was quite delicate. After a moment, Paityn managed to force a faint smile, saying, “Yes, I’m about to leave! Does Mr. Jamie have any instructions for me?” Jamie showed no expression, but his eyes burned intensely as he asked, “Do you have nothing to say to me?”Paityn fell silent and said nothing.Jamie reached into the pocket of his coat and pulled out a sealed pack of cigarettes. He tore off the wrapping but didn’t open the box, merely holding it in his hand. His gaze remained fixed on Paityn as he said, “For example, what you asked me over the phone last ti

Jamie opened the car door. It was warm and cozy inside, but Yara's expression carried a hint of unease. After all, she was a sensitive person, and she could sense that Jamie's extraordinary enthusiasm tonight was all for that woman named Paityn.Yara had heard about the rumors between Jamie and Paityn before, but she had never paid them much mind. She believed her youth and beauty would keep her from being overshadowed by a woman in her thirties.Now, however, Yara felt uncertain. The way Jamie looked at Paityn was different. His gaze was filled with a complex mix of love and resentment.…Jamie sat in the car next to Yara. They were supposed to be engaged, but something unexpected had happened tonight. He stared into the night ahead, and his expression remained neutral. “Yara. I’m sorry, but I can’t marry you.”Yara guessed the reason. Her young eyes turned red, and there was a mix of frustration and hurt inside. Eventually, she asked with a hint of defiance, “Is it because o

The scent of fresh tobacco lingered inside the car. Jamie rolled down the window completely, blowing away the smell of smoke. Then, he grasped the steering wheel firmly and gently caressed it. After a moment, he stepped on the gas pedal and drove toward Paityn’s villa.The night breeze brushed against his face, sharpening Jamie’s thoughts and lending a more severe expression to his features. What was originally a forty-minute drive, he completed in just twenty-five. He ended up arriving five minutes earlier than Paityn.Jamie parked the car in a shadowy spot and sat quietly inside. Then, he waited. Everything was still on this spring night. Fireworks could be seen sporadically bursting in the distance. Their lights were faint and lonely from afar. It reminded Jamie of the relationship he shared with Paityn. They were always on the edge of something meaningful, but they never experienced a grand and passionate explosion.Not a single "I love you" had ever been spoken between them

As Paityn stepped on the gas pedal, her expression turned distant. She watched Carol happily dive into Jamie’s arms with no hesitation. It was a plain betrayal. The little girl went straight to his side! Paityn’s mood felt heavier as she sat in the front seat. She had no choice but to drive, pulling up in front of the small villa within seconds. Through the rearview mirror, she caught a glimpse of Jamie. However, he paid no attention to her. Instead, he carried Carol out of the car wordlessly.The soft yellow light from the wall lamp cast a warm glow, highlighting Jamie’s tall and steady figure. He walked away with calm and confident strides. It was clear Carol liked him very much. After all, her tiny arms were wrapped tightly around his neck while she peeked back at Paityn. Children often pick up on the unspoken tension between adults, and Carol seemed to sense the undercurrents between them.This was Paityn's house, and yet Jamie moved as if he were the master. The housekeeper

Paityn remained silent. She was unsure of how to respond.Jamie's gaze was intense and searching. However, he lowered his eyes to look at the little one nestled in his arms after a moment. Carol was sound asleep and her face was peaceful. At that moment, his expression softened with fatherly affection. However, the warmth vanished when he looked up again. It was replaced by his usual composed detachment and a quiet sense of pride and restraint.Paityn couldn't help but think back to when she first started developing feelings for Jamie a couple of years ago. Perhaps it was this very air of nobility and distance that drew her in. He was powerful and handsome. Given the fact that he came from a wealthy and influential family, he had never lacked women’s affection.Jamie gently tucked Carol in and made sure her blanket was secure before getting off the bed and standing. His eyes fell on Paityn as he stood by the door. He said in a soft but firm voice, "Let’s talk in your bedroom."

Some were cold, while others were lively.At the Bright Villa, tonight was the wedding night of Keaton and Yanni. His parents had moved to another house for the occasion and had thoughtfully taken Ella with them, promising to return her in a week. Gustavo said that Keaton should spend quality time with Yanni, especially since she rarely had such a long holiday because she was a doctor.Keaton and Yanni were grateful for his parents' thoughtfulness and they accepted this arrangement. As night fell, Keaton was downstairs dealing with various chores while Yanni went upstairs to remove his makeup and take a shower. After a long day, she surprisingly didn’t feel tired. She looked around the new house, taking in all the details.A gilded vanity had been added to her room. The furniture and curtains were replaced with softer hues. Keaton had redecorated everything according to Yanni’s preferences, including a larger and softer bed.After applying her skincare products, Yanni settled i

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
