I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1344
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.”

Meanwhile, Noah was busy entertaining his daughter. Meanwhile, Tegan stood quietly off to the side. Her gaze on Jamie carried a hint of complexity. It was clear she was aware of the fallout between Jamie and Paityn.Before lunch, Tegan ran into Jamie in the bathroom perhaps by design. The villa was warm and inviting, and she wore a light pink wool dress, giving her a gentle and soft appearance. She stood beside Jamie. Then, she turned on the golden faucet. Her voice was low and measured. “I know you want Carol’s custody,” Tegan said softly. “She is indeed your child, but she is also my sister’s. "Paityn gave birth to her under tremendous pressure when she was still so inexperienced. She loves Carol deeply. Regardless of how you feel, she would give up everything for Carol’s sake.“I’m not trying to reconcile anything between you two; I just want to ask you to please give her a way out even if it’s for the sake of the past. "You still have plenty of opportunities to marry a youn
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1349
After Jamie spoke, everyone was stunned. No one expected him to say something like that. It was clear to everyone present that Paityn and Jamie had emotional ties and had even had a child together. Didn’t he just completely push her away by saying something like this? The room fell into a deathly silence, and no one dared to speak. Finally, it was Wylie who mustered the courage to say, “Perhaps you and Ms. Paityn should discuss this privately, Mr. Jamie. We can step out for a moment.” Jamie kept his gaze locked on Paityn’s eyes and replied softly, “The lawyer team is here specifically for this custody case; there’s no need to avoid it.”Wylie dared not say anything further and quietly stepped aside. Jamie turned his attention back to Paityn. He spoke directly, “I understand that raising a child requires time and effort. I won’t let you have borne this child for nothing. "Name your conditions; I will agree as long as they are reasonable. Also, if you want to see Carol, you
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1350
Monty went straight to the point, "After our last meeting, I developed a strong liking for you, Paityn. I want to take things further. "With my wealth as a guarantee for your company and your status as a married woman, securing custody of the child shouldn't be a problem if we get married."Paityn couldn’t deny that she was tempted. She didn’t love Monty; they had even been business rivals before. However, she was utterly hopeless with Jamie, having already lost all her leverage. If Paityn didn’t want to lose custody of Carol, Monty was indeed an ideal marriage candidate. However, she had reservations. She wasn't ready to give herself emotionally or physically. If they did get married, it would be purely a transaction.The setting sun melted into gold. Paityn sat in the car and said quietly, "Let's skip other details for now, Mr. Monty. The most pressing matter is that I won’t have any more children."To her surprise, he readily agreed, "I already have a child, and you have Caro

Jamie was a big man, but he couldn't replace the soft body of a woman.At 3:30 am, he got up and carried the five-year-old Carol into the bedroom. He walked back and forth, while he gently comforted her. Just as she was on the verge of falling asleep, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky. Then, it was followed by a thunderous crack as the heavens opened up. Torrential rain poured down and enveloped the world in a misty haze.Carol suddenly woke up. Although she liked Jamie and the Lockwood Manor was luxurious, it wasn’t the place she had grown up in. On a stormy night like this, she missed the babysitter who raised her even more. Most of all, she missed Paityn.Carol made quite a fuss, crying for her mother. Despite his reluctance, Jamie couldn’t fulfill her wish. Eventually, Carol was exhausted from crying, and she finally nestled on his shoulder and fell asleep, only to be startled awake again by the thunder. This cycle continued several times, eventually disturbing Ma

The parking lot was cold, making Molly shiver. Ocelotte opened the door of gray Cullinan, gesturing for Molly to get in. She hesitated, afraid that the wine stains on her clothes would dirty his car. However, it was clear that he didn’t mind. Ocelotte's eyes showed a hint of displeasure as he commanded, “Get in.”Only then did Molly cautiously get in, trying her best not to dirty his car. After a moment, Ocelotte followed and got into the car. Inside, the only sound was the faint click of seat belts, and that small noise made Molly feel like a startled bird. She turned her head slightly and whispered, “Where are we going?”Ocelotte buckled his seatbelt, his dark eyes deep and unreadable. After a long silence, he replied with a touch of mockery, “To the hotel. "What’s this? After a few years in the entertainment industry, you’ve learned how to play hard to get with men and pretend to be innocent?”“I haven’t,” Molly quickly responded. Her voice was husky and tinged with hes

The private room immediately fell silent. At first, someone muttered something like "crazy" under their breath. When they saw it was Ocelotte, however, no one dared to say another word. Ocelotte slowly stood up. He stepped over the red wine stains and walked straight to Molly’s side. He looked down at her from a height, taking in her disheveled state. He looked at the red wine stains on her long lashes. Her lips were bitten and broken, and a bloodstained mark on her pale neck. Molly tilted her head back, and her body trembled slightly. Their gazes intertwined. Ocelotte’s voice was low and hoarse as he stared into her eyes and asked, “Is this the life you’re chasing? Are you happy? Is it a good feeling, being humiliated for a little bit of money?”The people in the room were quick-witted, and with just a glance, they knew exactly what to do. The female stars and models immediately opened the bottles of red wine. Then, they poured the wines over themselves, dousing thei

In the private room, about ten people were there, including Ocelotte. The atmosphere was lively. Except for Scarlett, no one knew that Ocelotte and Molly were old acquaintances. So, when the second-generation rich were acting up, they didn’t spare Molly. Since she was the most attractive one in the room, they particularly forced alcohol on her. Three glasses of red wine were neatly placed on the coffee table. A man named Mayson Hogan took a check for 10 million dollars from his pocket and pointed at the three glasses of wine.Mayson said to Molly, “Don’t you want to pull in some investments? Drink these three glasses, take this check, and consider it my investment.” If Molly drank those three glasses, she’d either be dead drunk or fall over. Scarlett immediately forced a smile, saying, “Molly still has to play cards with you. Let me drink this wine. How about I pour three more glasses, Mr. Mayson?” After saying that, Scarlett poured two more glasses. Before she could dr

An hour later, the gray Cullinan slowly drove into the Sanders Manor. Ocelotte opened the car door, his tall frame of six-foot-two passing through the foyer and into the living room. Although it was already the middle of the night, the Sanders Manor was still brightly lit. Noah was waiting for his youngest son to return late. Hearing the noise, Noah put down the chess pieces in his hands. He looked up and smiled at Ocelotte, who looked heartbroken. "Out prowling in the middle of the night? Did you catch anything?" Ocelotte took off his coat and casually tossed it onto the sofa. Then, he instructed the housekeeper, "Make me some sandwiches, Kendra." Kendra had always been fond of him. She quickly untied her apron and went to the kitchen. A little while later, she brought over some sandwiches.As Ocelotte ate the sandwiches in large bites, Noah silently walked over. The latter watched his son and silently urging him to hurry up.Ocelotte put down the sandwich and said indif

The night was as dark as ink. The gray Cullinan blended into the night, slowly fading away in front of Molly, the red tail lights glimmering like fleeting fireworks. Ocelotte was here one moment and gone the next.“I miss you, Ocelotte.” Molly stood in the darkness, murmuring softly. The wound on her knee split open, blood dripping onto the gray concrete floor, forming a stark and heartbreaking contrast. Her small, almond-shaped face looked pale, almost ghostly in the black night. Suddenly, the car ahead came to a stop. With tears at the corners of her eyes, Molly's lips trembled uncontrollably. Yet, she managed to force out a fragile smile. Ocelotte! Ocelotte! Molly ran toward him quickly, forgetting the bleeding knee and the boundaries Ocelotte had set for her. She was to never appear before him again.Molly only wanted to go to him and see him once more, just to get a chance. The expensive car and the distinguished man still made her hesitate just one meter awa
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1405
Behind the car, Molly saw him. She stood there dazed, staring blankly as the gray Cullinan slowly drove away. Her face was drenched in rain and confusion. She knew all too well the vast gulf between them. One was the second son of the Sanders Group, the president of Fowlerlotte Tech Co. with a status worth billions. Meanwhile, Molly was just a small-time actress. They were as far apart as clouds and mud. Not to mention, she carried a past full of stains that couldn’t be washed away, no matter how hard she tried. Molly was lost in her thoughts, and the director’s angry roar jolted her back. “Do you not want to finish filming? Dragging your feet like this! If you acted better, we wouldn’t have to keep redoing the scene!” Scarlett quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, although she knew exactly what was going on. The director wanted to have sex with Molly, but she refused, so now he was deliberately making things difficult for her. Sometimes, Scarlett couldn’t he
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1404
Although Ocelotte didn’t engage in those matters himself, as a member of the Sanders family, he was well aware of the ways of the business world. If it had been someone else, he might have been indifferent, understanding it as just a means to make a living. However, it was because it was Molly that he only found her shameless. Ocelotte looked at Molly and deliberately asked with a mocking tone, "Oh? Is there another act?"Molly's body trembled slightly.The senior manager finally picked up on the situation. She glanced at Molly, then at Ocelotte. The young tech mogul's eyes were filled with disdain and mockery, leaving the scene unbearably awkward.Still, Scarlett, who had witnessed her share of tense moments, quickly shifted the topic.However, Ocelotte showed no intention of being considerate. He opened his laptop with a loud snap and ruthlessly dismissed her. "Ms. Molly does not align with our company's image. Please show her out, Sarah."…Ocelotte's assistant, Sarah Moss

The reunion of old lovers was met with a deathly silence. Ocelotte's dark eyes were like ink, while Molly's delicate face was pale. She gazed helplessly at the young man, her mind echoing with memories of their once-sweet moments together."If only you had a lot of money, Ocelotte. If I had money, that would be fine too!"Ocelotte. If I had a lot of money, I'd fund you to start a big tech company, and then you wouldn't be sad about not being able to play basketball anymore. I’d be the behind-the-scenes boss, and you could be CEO."I always dream about it, but money is so hard to earn, Ocelotte."…In the small winter cabin, two young bodies were wrapped in wool blankets, holding each other tightly.The lady rested her head on the man's strong shoulder, murmuring softly. There was a sadness in her eyes that the boy couldn’t see.After today, she would be leaving. She would take a million to train abroad and become a big star. She would make a lot of money, and then start a compan

Yanni smiled gently. "Yes, I'm over five months pregnant! I’ll probably give birth around spring."Gael did the math in his head. By that time, he would have already settled abroad. He wouldn't be able to give Yanni's child any gift right away. If it weren't for worrying about Keaton's feelings, Gael might have even considered becoming the child's godfather. Then again, he had Ella. He was technically her biological father in name.Ella seemed to like him quite a bit. She sweetly called out, "Uncle Gael."Gael smiled and patted her head. Then, he took two candies out of his pocket. He had just attended the wedding banquet and happened to have them on hand. He handed one to Ella, who eagerly peeled it open and popped it into her mouth.Gael couldn’t help but hug Ella. This was the child he and Yanni had in name, but also a lingering thought of his. He couldn't help feeling a mix of emotions as he held her. When he let go, he noticed his new wife standing quietly beside him. Her
