I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1360
Jamie picked up his phone and saw that Paityn had replied. "Sure." Just two words, but they were concise and powerful. However, he read those two words over and over. It felt that Paityn had never been this calm before, not even during their best times. They always seemed to be at odds, and they never allowed each other any happiness. Now that they were apart, they could finally get along peacefully.Jamie tried hard not to think about the fact that Paityn would soon belong to someone else. In the night, he repeatedly savored her text. He read it again and again until he was lost in thought well into the early hours.Meanwhile, Mason peeked through the door before returning to the bedroom. He said to Zoe, “We’ve got a romantic in the house. Hahaha. I really don’t know whether to feel sorry for him or say he deserves it.” Zoe pondered his words thoughtfully.After Jamie took Carol away, Zoe found herself with some free time and decided to look into Monty’s background. Unf

Half an hour later, Jamie's car stopped in front of the Lockwood Corporation building. He was single, but he brought Carol to work. Meanwhile, rumor had it that Paityn was going to marry Monty. Who wouldn’t want to be the ready-made stepmother? As a result, all the young unmarried female employees came over with little toys and snacks to charm Carol. Some were subtly flirting, while others were quite bold. Wylie couldn’t stand it and directly chased them away. Jamie didn’t care much. He was buried in his work, occasionally patting Carol's head.“Please ask Augustus to come over and draft a property transfer agreement.” Wylie looked at Carol and smiled. The latter's dad, mom, and stepdad were all CEOs. She wasn't born with a silver spoon. Nay, she was born with a golden spoon.Wylie immediately went to handle it. Soon, the lawyer, Augustus Hicks, arrived. Jamie clearly valued him. He intentionally got up to sit on the sofa and even waved to Carol. “Come here and greet

Jamie finished work and left with Carol in the evening. As soon as they came downstairs, he was greeted by a pleasant floral fragrance. Then, a gentle breeze blew, and it felt soft and warm. A branch of hawthorn extended over the black Bentley. It was white as snow and quite beautiful.Carol reached out to try to touch it, but her short arms couldn’t reach it. With a simple snap, Jamie easily picked one and placed a small white flower in her palm. Carol exclaimed, "Wow!" She was so overjoyed that she even gave her dad a sniff of it. Jamie's heart softened further.As they got into the car, Carol sweetly said in a soft voice, “Dad, I want to eat baby food. Larissa said other kids often go eat baby food with their mommies and daddies, and Carol wants to go too.”At that moment, Jamie felt that he would do anything for Carol. He would even pluck the moon from the sky if she wanted. “Sure.” He fastened his seatbelt and indulgently agreed. Ten minutes later, the car stopped in

Jamie turned and walked into the restaurant. Paityn composed herself and smiled softly at Monty, “You go change into your clothes. Let me see if they fit. If not, there’s still time to make alterations.” Monty was a considerate man. He took a tissue and gently wiped away her tears. Looking at her delicate features stirred up something in his heart. He loved Paityn. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be thinking about marriage. Paityn looked up. As they locked eyes, there was a magnetic pull between them. It was a kind of acceptance that seemed to say they could endure anything together. Even after they parted ways some time down the road, Paityn still believed that Monty was a very suitable man for marriage.Monty followed the waiter to the changing room. His phone rang just after he had put on his formal shirt and trousers. He saw that it was his son, Howard Verdan, calling, and he answered quickly. The child’s frantic voice came through. “Dad, Mom has fainted.” Monty’s heart sank.

After a while, Jamie gently stepped on the gas pedal and drove toward the setting sun. The last traces of crimson clouds lingered in the sky, mingling softly with pale purple amidst the encroaching darkness and creating a vibrant scene. The car moved slowly, seemingly with purpose. Meanwhile, Carol sat in the backseat and sang off-key children's songs. Jamie held the steering wheel in a relaxed demeanor. Paityn bit into the hamburger. At this moment, the concept of a family began to take shape, but she dared not think too deeply about it. Instead, she asked him in a muffled voice, “Where are you driving to?” Jamie glanced at her in the rearview mirror and replied softly, “Aren't you the one who wanted to take a walk? Those high heels are too expensive and uncomfortable. It's just as good to enjoy the night view from the car.” Paityn didn't say anything more. She silently munched on the hamburger. After a moment, Carol handed her a cup of cola and said cheerfully, “Daddy say

Jamie looked at Paityn. Naturally, he didn’t expect the two of them to sleep with Carol. She was Monty's future wife, and he knew she was currently holding onto her purity. Jamie just wanted to see Paityn's expression and check how much of the past she still remembered. Their gazes were locked, and everything was unspoken. Neither of them had forgotten, not a single bit. However, these things were inexpressible. After a while, Jamie finally said to Carol in a hoarse voice, “In a few days, you’ll be able to sleep with Mommy.” Carol pouted unhappily, “I meant sleeping with both Daddy and Mommy. I saw on television that everyone sleeps together.” As a father, Jamie didn’t know how to explain. So, he simply said, “In a few days, Daddy and Mommy will sleep with you.”“Jamie!” Paityn couldn't help but scold. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly in the dim light, revealing a vulnerability she rarely showed. Jamie quietly gazed at her. The air seemed to freeze. It was filled wit

The next day was Carol's interview at the kindergarten. Initially, Paityn wanted to meet at the kindergarten gate, but Jamie said he would pick her up at home. She didn't want to argue over such trivial matters. So, she agreed. Just after Paitynhung up the phone, she met her mother's thoughtful gaze. Jennifer spoke up, “Jamie came by yesterday afternoon with Carol and an assistant. He didn’t say much; he just left some supplements for me. They looked like some rare good stuff.” Paityn was taken aback. Jennifer continued, “I haven't been by your side for the past few years, and I don’t even know about your past relationship situations. I feel like a negligent mother and shouldn't meddle in your love life. "However, I have to say something. I can tell that Jamie has feelings for you. He’s just a bit too proud, like a kindergarten boy who likes a girl and bullies her to get her attention. That’s how I see Jamie.” Paityn heard this and felt a pang of melancholy, but she repli
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1367
The tenderness of this moment surpassed all their countless intimate encounters. Jamie had helped her many times, providing both financial support and resources. However, such warmth was rare. Paityn already had tears welling up in her eyes. Now, she felt an even stronger urge to cry. Still, she desperately held back, not wanting to lose her composure in front of everyone. She gently blinked. Jamie kept holding her hand tightly, and they looked like a loving couple, like a genuine husband and wife, like qualified parents for Carol.Over there, Kaelyn personally presented a new worksheet. Carol didn’t have to write or draw; she just needed to identify the things in the pictures. Carol cuddled in Kaelyn's embrace, and her big and dark eyes sparkled as she exclaimed, “This is a chick, and this is a duck.” Kaelyn's eyes were filled with tears of admiration as she praised Carol, “You’re so smart, sweetheart.” Carol looked toward Jamie, her delicate, fair face beaming wit

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

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

Paityn obviously didn’t recognize it. She opened the box and saw an emerald bracelet. It was completely green, which at first glance appeared to be worth at least forty to fifty million, very precious. Inside the box was a card with a message written on it. "Wishing you happiness for the rest of your life, from Monty."As Paityn was stunned, she realized she had stirred up a hornet's nest. The driver, Jamie, immediately let out a cold snort. "I told you it was someone with the surname Verdan, but you wouldn’t admit it! Now that we have the evidence, What do you think we should do, Paityn?"Looking at the gift, Paityn originally felt a bit sad. With Jamie causing such a ruckus, however all her sadness was swept away. In the end, she helplessly asked him, "So what do you want to do about it?"Jamie focused on the road ahead, and his hand lightly stroked his chin in deep thought. Finally, he made a few requests, all shameless and without boundaries. After finishing, he turned to

Jamie and Paityn’s wedding was set for the golden autumn of October. Before the winter solstice, Mason and Zoe personally went to the McKinney family to ask for Paityn's hand in marriage. In addition to the ten cars' worth of gifts, he also brought along their capable, lovestruck son, Jamie.Jennifer hosted a lavish family banquet to welcome the in-laws. Naturally, she had some personal intentions. Among the many dishes, there was a pot of delicious chicken soup, and she made sure to give a chicken leg to her good son-in-law, Jamie.The Sanders and Lockwood families knew very well that Jamie didn't eat chicken legs. However, at this moment, he couldn’t stop praising the chicken leg. He even called out to Jennifer as his mother. "Mom, the chicken soup you made is just to my taste." Lorian and Tegan were also present. They exchanged a glance before he picked up the other chicken leg from his own bowl and handed it over to Jamie. He smiled playfully. "You really should eat mo

Jamie held his breath as he looked down at Paityn, watching her slide the ring of commitment onto his ring finger.In the dim light of the car, the platinum ring gleamed with a cool glow. It rested on his finger but felt as though it hung over his heart.They had made a vow for life.For a long while, Jamie didn’t move. He kept staring at his ring finger and the wedding ring Paityn had placed there. At this moment, he felt a profound sense of peace; he knew her heart. Her willingness to do this proved he held a place in her heart. It was a place that surpassed Lorian and Monty for Paityn.The world was vast, but Paityn's lover’s name was Jamie and only Jamie. When the blood rushed to Jamie’s head, he pulled Paityn close. He forced her to utter those shameless vows and sweet words. He demanded her to promise a lifetime with him. Jamie also asked that Paityn love only him for all her days. She was truly both angry and amused. Sitting up straight, she carefully removed the diam

A long time had passed. In fact, it felt like an eternity. Jamie gently turned his face. He brought it close to Paityn's ear and savored the soft, downy feel. At that moment, she reminded him of Carol; she was also someone who needed his protection. Paityn was quiet and docile when she nestled in his embrace."Paityn." Jamie's voice was rough. It was barely a whisper, and his drink-induced haze mostly cleared. Slowly, he stroked the top of her head softly. Then, it didn't feel enough, and he leaned down to kiss her. She was his little puppy. This was the first time he’d called her that, yet it felt perfectly natural.Maybe they should have been together all along. Jamie should have been Paityn's protector and her shield against the storm. He shouldn't have left her to worry that their relationship might sour. He shouldn't have let her face difficulties alone and be afraid to seek his help. That was why she chose to bear it all by herself, to begin with.Business matters were

Paityn was even more confused now.Meanwhile, Gavyn extended his hand to her in a particularly familiar manner, shaking it lightly. Then, he smiled gently. “Carol looks more like her father.”Paityn felt a bit embarrassed.Gavyn’s assistant came forward and respectfully invited them to take their seats, treating Annie with great courtesy as well.Annie couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of admiration. In recent days, she had put in a great deal of effort to arrange this meeting with Gavyn. It had taken quite a bit of work just to get him to agree to meet casually. Gavyn's attitude had been incredibly high-handed, which was understandable, given the tremendous resources he controlled. In the presence of the Lockwood family and the Sanders family, however, such a powerful man still gave ample respect and consideration.Indeed, during the meal, Gavyn's demeanor was notably more subdued.Jamie was younger by a whole decade, but he handled the situation effortlessly when it came to
