Meanwhile, Mason sneered, "You're gloating now, but just wait—you'll regret it later! Paityn isn't as easy to deal with as Tegan. She’ll definitely have you crying for dear life! "Don't bother coming back asking for help when that happens. Your mom and I will be too busy picking Carol up from school, going shopping, and taking her to the amusement park!"Jamie didn’t respond.Mason ignored him and went upstairs with Zoe to check out the rooms. The south-facing bedroom was indeed spacious and bright, measuring over 1000 square feet. Zoe looked at the layout and had already formed some initial ideas, while Mason added some suggestions. Surprisingly, Carol was also getting along well with them.Once the two grandparents had settled everything, Jamie finally said slowly, "Carol will stay here for two months, but she will return to Paityn afterward."Mason was not pleased. "What? You're not bringing her home?"Jamie replied, "I have my own plans."Mason scoffed, "Plans? Heh, you’r

Zoe chose to stand by and watch.Upon hearing that, Jamie didn't seem bothered at all. Now that he had Carol, it was only a matter of time before Paityn would also be part of their lives.…At 9:30 am, Jamie went to the company. After the regular meeting, he returned to his office to handle some piled-up affairs. As noon approached, he picked up his phone and toyed with it for a while before dialing Paityn's number. She quickly answered the call. After the line connected, however, there was a silence between them. After a moment, Jamie softly said, "I’ll pick you up tomorrow at noon. We’re having dinner at my place." Before Paityn could respond, he added, "It’s just family relatives." She remained quiet and didn't say anything.Actually, Paityn wanted to ask what her identity would be when she went over. She also wanted to know if Yara would be there, but after feeling disappointed a few times with Jamie, she felt too embarrassed to bring it up.Jamie noticed that Paityn did

Jamie felt a sense of guilt towards Yara, having watched her grow up. He couldn't just ignore her in her current state. So, he took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. He frowned slightly as he said, "I'll take you home."Yara was surprisingly clingy. She wrapped her arms around Jamie like a koala. She looked up at him with a silly smile, and she even leaned in to kiss his chin.Jamie was taken aback by her boldness, and he was momentarily stunned. However, this moment was seen by Paityn. She had come to the area for a dinner meeting with EverReach Co.'s Monty. As she got out of her car and was heading towards the business club across the street, she caught sight of Jamie and Yara. The duo was embracing, and they looked very intimate with each other.Jamie's coat was draped over the young woman as she looked up, seeking a kiss. His face was a mix of fondness and helplessness. Paityn had known Jamie for a considerable time, but she had never seen that expression on h

Jamie felt a bit neglected. After a while, he suppressed his anger and said, “I’ll pick you up from the office tomorrow at noon. Don’t forget about it.”Paityn stood in the corridor of the business club. She looked up at the crystal chandelier above, with a hint of moisture in her eyes. She recalled the scene of Jamie embracing Yara, and a wave of bitterness rose in her heart. Her voice turned hoarse as she replied, “I have something important tomorrow, so I might not be able to go. Besides, that kind of occasion isn’t really for me.”Jamie asked, “Why wouldn’t you go?”…The night was dimly lit. Paityn felt utterly pointless. What she wanted was never an ambiguous relationship. Instead, she wanted something unique. She was a bit tipsy when she asked softly, “Do you love me, Jamie?” On the other end of the phone, there was heated breathing akin to a whisper in a lover's ear. However, Paityn didn’t receive a clear answer. Jamie paused and asked her, “Have you been drinking

The interior of the car was dim, and Paityn’s face was as pale as a ghost. She looked at Jamie's disdainful expression. All of a sudden, she understood that they came from a vastly different world even after being with him for years and having Carol together. Why else would Jamie have looked at her like this? Why else would he be so affectionate with Yara while simultaneously humiliating Paityn? Paityn thought she was simply too naïve and ridiculous. She allowed a life of comfort to soften her so much that she developed a romantic mindset. How could she even ask Jamie if he loved her earlier today? What kind of answer was she expecting from him?Now, Jamie had given his answer. As far as he was concerned, Paityn was nothing but a woman who would sleep with everyone. He thought that she would let any man have their way with her if it meant it could improve her business.Paityn couldn't believe she actually dared to hope that Jamie would love her. After a moment of silence, she sm

Jamie sat in the car, watching Paityn leave. He felt a surge of anger and quickly drove away from her villa. The crescent moon hung high in the sky, appearing so cold and distant. The faster Jamie drove, the colder his heart became. It was as if it was filled with icy water. He felt a deep sense of loss, to the point where this usually cautious person became distracted. Then, he drove directly into the green belt in the middle of the road.With a loud bang, Jamie's car crashed hard against a concrete block. The sound of shattering accompanied the deployment of the airbags. Jamie was stunned by the immense impact for a few seconds, then struggled to unbuckle his seatbelt and get out of the car. Smoke was billowing from the hood, and it was clear the car was no longer drivable.Fortunately, there were no cars passing on this stretch of road. Otherwise, he couldn't bear to think of the consequences. Jamie stood under the streetlight and stared at the smoking hood of the car. Aft

By the time Jamie arrived home, it was close to midnight. The night was as cool as water. Mason hadn’t slept and had been waiting in the living room for Jamie. The dim light highlighted his chiseled features. Although he was nearly 60 years old, he still looked well-maintained and quite handsome. “You’re still awake, Dad!” Jamie took off his coat and tossed it casually onto the sofa. Then, he sat down and pulled out a cigarette to smoke it. Mason looked at him and chuckled lightly, “You usually don’t smoke at home. What’s going on? Did a woman give you a hard time? Is Carol's mom mad at you?” Jamie leaned back on the sofa, his mind replaying the scene he had witnessed at the club entrance. He felt like a worthless man. Monty was a divorced old man who could still win over Paityn.Jamie felt a mix of sorrow and anger. However, he couldn't bring himself to say anything either for Carol or out of a man's pride. He thought back to the moment when he confronted Paityn. If Pait

Jamie wanted to be closer to Zoe, but he still avoided the heavier topics and said, “I just had a little bump with the car on the road. It’s nothing serious.” Zoe didn’t quite believe him, but she chose not to press the issue. She watched as Jamie walked to the bedside and wrapped Carol in a small blanket, preparing to carry her away. Zoe couldn’t help but remind him, “She just finally fell asleep after having a bottle of milk and asking for her mom. If she wakes up, it’ll take a while to soothe her again.” Jamie replied softly, “I’ll comfort her.” Although he felt a deep disappointment with Paityn, he genuinely adored Carol. After all, she carried his genes. In the quiet of the night, Jamie held the Carol as he walked down the empty corridor. She seemed a bit dazed when she woke at first. Then, she caught the scent of her father. Carol reached out her tiny arms and tightly hugged his neck. Her warm breath brushed against his skin, making Jamie's heart feel soft.“Dad.”

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.

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
