I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 1366
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

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

As soon as the words left Paityn's lips, her mouth was kissed. It was a gentle kiss, and it felt cautious and tender as if Jamie were treating a rare treasure. Paityn opened her eyes, and so did Jamie; they gazed at each other, and Paityn felt like crying at that moment. Jamie had never kissed Paityn like this before. A single tear slid down her cheeks. It was salty and wet. Just when she thought he was going to let her go, he tightened his embrace around the back of her neck and began to kiss her fiercely. Jamie kissed Paityn deeply and passionately as if he wanted to claim her completely, while her tears flowed fiercely and uncontrollably, from beginning to end.After a long while, Jamie finally released her. Paityn was left dazed by the kiss. She was completely unsure of where or when she was, while he gently pressed his forehead against hers, whispering, “You can report me for assault now, or slap me to relieve your anger.” Two seconds later, a crisp slap echoed against hi

Jamie was taken aback. It took him a moment to regain his voice. “What? Say that again.” Wylie’s voice trembled with excitement as she repeated the news and shared what she had learned. “Mr. Monty's ex-wife seems to be ill. It appears that he is remarrying out of a sense of responsibility, to provide psychological comfort to her.” “Well, it seems Monty is quite commendable in this situation.” Whether Monty was good or not, Jamie wasn't sure, but he felt that this decision was exceptionally wise.Jamie's demeanor shifted completely. He even instructed Wylie to inquire about the illness, suggesting that they could find a doctor for Colette if necessary. He needed her to live a long and healthy life. Wylie nodded in agreement. “I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry, Mr. Jamie. Lockwood Corporation is a pharmaceutical company, and we have some effective targeted drugs that we can arrange for Ms. Colette to try.” After he hung up the phone, Jamie sat alone in the car for a long t

Paityn hurried to the first floor.Jamie was sitting comfortably on a sofa in the lobby. A cup of fragrant coffee was placed on the small side table beside him. The receptionist was attentively keeping him company, speaking politely to the distinguished Jamie.“Ms. Paityn will be down shortly. Please take a seat. I brought over a couple of business magazines for you.”Jamie was in a very good mood, and he responded graciously, “No need, thank you! My child’s mother will be down any minute.”My child’s mother…The receptionist’s heart was pounding with excitement. She was eager to spread the juicy scoop throughout the entire building and indulge in a bit of gossip.Unfortunately, Paityn arrived quickly, and she overheard his words.Jamie leaned back on the sofa and remarked casually, “The coffee is nice, but the magazines aren’t quite up-to-date.”Paityn walked over and picked up the two magazines. She glanced at them and spoke coolly, “If you bought my company, then you’d be fr

It was hard to blame Paityn. On one hand, Jamie's gaze was gentle. On the other hand, he was undeniably handsome.After some back-and-forth, the three of them ended up having dinner together. They walked into a Maravilla restaurant, and the waiter naturally asked, “Sir, ma’am, are there three of you?”Before Paityn could respond, Jamie calmly said, “Yes, three! Please give us a table by the window, so it’s easier for the child to see that Ferris wheel in the distance.”The waiter recognized Jamie after a moment. He recalled that he had seen Jamie in a business magazine as the president of Lockwood Corporation. The waiter didn't want to be disrespectful. So. he became very attentive and provided them with the best table. He even gave Carol a brand-new Rubik's Cube, which made her extremely happy.Once seated, Carol played with her new toy. She was absorbed in her own world and ignored the adults.Jamie unfolded a snow-white napkin and gently handed the menu to Paityn. He said, “W

Paityn was indeed afraid. She had loved Jamie, and she feared that this kind of interaction might make her unconsciously fall for him again. She was terrified of becoming that kind of woman.Paityn struggled to deny it, insisting that she didn’t feel that way. However, it was clear that Jamie didn’t believe her. He gazed into her eyes and slowly spoke, “Why won’t you admit that you don’t actually like Monty? Marrying him was just a way for you to escape reality and avoid being hurt by me again. "What if I promise not to anger or hurt you anymore, Paityn? What if I treat you like I did tonight? Would you still choose Monty over me and marry him?”Paityn didn't know. She shook her head rapidly, but Jamie wouldn’t give her the chance to escape. He held her hand tightly, and his eyes were filled with an emotion she couldn't quite understand. Paityn thought she must be imagining things. How could Jamie have such a look in his eyes? What she saw more was sadness. They had many year

The airport was bustling with people, and many people glanced in their direction. Paityn found it hard to bear the scrutiny. So, she buried her face in Monty's shoulder and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”Monty remained silent and held her tightly. He couldn’t bring himself to tell her that he had reconciled with Colette, nor could he tell Paityn that he loved her. Pity and responsibility were the only feelings he had for Colette. Monty couldn’t say anything. This embrace was what he longed for and should be the last one.Finally, when the air felt thin between them, he let her go and feigned a casual tone. “I’m starving after the trip. Shall we go grab something to eat?”Paityn smiled lightly. “Mom knows you're back and has been preparing chicken soup with fresh mushrooms since morning.”Monty paused and considered. “Let’s have dinner just the two of us this time.”Paityn's smile froze on her face. She had an intuition, and deep down, she sensed that something significant

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
