Zoe hadn’t realized that Mason was standing at the door. She picked up the violin and showed Yanni how to play it properly. Needless to say, she couldn’t play it as well as she did in the past, but she still crushed it.She finished playing an entire song and turned around. She was about to say something to her daughter when she saw Mason. He was staring at her lustfully. However, their daughter was right there. So, he kept a lid on his lust and sat on the couch. His face was slightly red from a couple of glasses of wine he drank earlier, making him look that much more appealing underneath the glow of the crystal chandelier. He had sobered up slightly when Yanni climbed on top of him and asked for his hug. He held her up, sat her on his waist, and carried Sherry over as well. Then, Yanni started counting his abs. Each of them was solid and defined.He lowered his head and looked at his little girl, but he spoke to Zoe in a tender tone, “What made you want to show her how to play
Pressing himself against her, Mason murmured in a sultry voice, “You claimed you weren’t in the mood last night and now you’re telling me it’s not your fertile window tonight. Are you purposely leaving me with blue balls? Can I not have sex with you outside of the fertile window?”“No!” Her answer was so absolute and allowed no room for negotiation. Pushing him away, she calmed down and proceeded to clarify the situation with him. “I moved back here for Yanni’s sake. I didn’t do it because I want to reconcile with you! You’re right. I don’t have a boyfriend whatsoever, but it doesn’t mean I have to be with you!”His heart sank, but he didn’t let it show on his face. After all, he deserved this punishment. So, he didn’t force it to happen, but they started treating each other coldly and kept a distance. Even Mia was able to see it and expressed her concern to Zoe that it might affect Yanni. Zoe merely responded, “Mason kept it cool in front of Yanni!”The fact was, she knew he
He might’ve dressed modestly, but she could never forget him. She’d remember his face to her dying breath.So much time had passed and he finally returned!They locked gazes with each other. In fact, they hadn’t even filed for divorce. So, technically, they were still a married couple. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she tried and failed to grasp the twist on the situation. As far as she was concerned, Westley was long dead. Why else wouldn’t he return to Ruby and Cecil? It had been so long. Needless to say, she had plenty of chances to ask Ruby about his whereabouts, but the thought had never crossed her mind. She had her pride, after all.Her lips started trembling. She had loved him with all of her heart. Since the split, that love had been twisted into hatred that lasted for as long as she lived. Then, she murmured, “You’re such a heartless monster!”He took a step forward.However, she fell back with a dazed look on her face. Then, she staggered and left the scene in a
Zoe was lost in thought. So, she was startled when he held her shoulders.Leaning over, he turned on the night light and said softly, “It’s just me! Are you alright?”Under the warm glow of the night light, Zoe remained quiet and stared at him instead. The words were caught in her throat. It wasn’t every day that she showed such a tender expression towards him. He simply couldn’t resist hugging her and kissing her by the makeup table. She didn’t want it, but the light from the night light was so bright that she was worried Yanni might’ve woken up if she protested. So, she had no choice but to go along with it. He could sense that she wasn’t completely into it. He stopped and pressed his lip against hers. Panting lightly, he asked, “What’s the matter?”Leaning her back on the makeup table, her pajamas were pulled open. She looked slightly seductive like that, but she didn’t have room in her mind to care about it. Looking at him, she said softly, “I ran into a guy today. He coul
Mason used to be married to Zoe for many years. Naturally, he could sense that he still had a place in Zoe’s heart. However, she hated him more than she loved him. There was also the fact that she wouldn’t admit that she still had feelings for him. After all, she wouldn’t let herself go and longingly waited for his every thrust if she hadn’t loved him.Both of them knew about it, but none would say it out loud.…Zoe laid next to Yanni by the time they were done. She stayed awake for a long time, lost in thought. She, too, knew that something shifted in their relationship. It was something she didn’t want to admit. If Mason weren’t going to bring it up, she wouldn’t say anything on the matter either. She’d still leave Brookesville when the time was right.Zoe had long grown out of her youth. They had parted ways with each another gut-wrenchingly one too many times. It wasn’t something a great sex or two could fix. All of a sudden, he grabbed her hands in the darkness. He aske
Leaning over, Luke said to his master, “It’s your father, Mr. Mason. Do you want to talk to him?”Mason said with a blank face, “Do you mean Westley?”However, Luke didn’t dare respond to him. Lowering the car window, Mason looked to the side of the car and saw Westley. The man looked older, compared to how he had remembered him. If his memory served him correctly, Westley hadn’t reached forty years old when he left his wife and son. He had been in the prime of his life. A car window was the only thing that separated them, but they didn’t call out to each other and reconcile. Instead, Westley merely stared at his son in silence. Mason had to host the shareholder meeting today. So, he wore a custom-tailored suit that accentuated his dignified and stunning look. He was no longer the little boy Westley knew him to be. On top of it, he gave Westley a cold, distant look the way he would a stranger. Westley’s hands started to tremble. He wanted to call out to his son, but Mason
However, there was only a single red line on the pregnancy test. The result threw her into a daze for a long time. Sitting down on the toilet slowly, she tried but failed to process what she had just seen. It wasn’t as if she had a choice. She had to accept it.She wasn’t pregnant!That left her and Mason two more months to get pregnant. Time was running short. The pressure was immense. She didn’t leave the restroom until she had sat in there for a long time. Mason was playing with Yanni when he heard her footsteps and raised his eyes to look at her. He could see something from her expression, but they were parents now. He knew that some things were better left unsaid in front of the kid. They postponed the talk until Yanni was asleep. Mason took a shower while Zoe sat by the makeup table, combing her hair. Her figure looked so slender underneath the glow of the dim light, retaining the look of someone who hadn’t given birth to a child. Walking over to her, he leaned on the m
Pinching her chin, he kissed her deeply. He gulped and said in his deep, sultry voice, “We’re in the underground parking lot and this is my personal spot. No one’s going to pass by here, but we can do it in the company or a hotel room if that’s what you prefer.”He might’ve made it sound like it wasn’t a big deal, but his body suggested otherwise. In fact, he couldn’t wait to make her his woman right there and then!He even guided her hand to unfasten his belt. At that moment, they weren’t doing it for Yanni. Instead, they did it because they hungered for each other’s bodies and the pleasure it provided. Leaning in her ear, he murmured seductively, “I’ve missed you so much so that my body aches. You were always in my fantasies at night.” Then, he proceeded to tell her something so dirty that it felt wrong to hear, but it worked for her. She was getting more and more aroused by his words. It had been a long time since she was turned on this fast.“Mmm… Mason…”She nibbled his sh
In the lounge, Gwen curled up in Tegan’s embrace, crying silently. Tegan gently stroked her smooth black hair, sighing softly. “If you really like him, I’ll help you talk to him.”Gwen sobbed quietly, “Dad will say you’re being rebellious.”Tegan paused for a moment, then replied, “Your brother will help me, won’t he?”Gwen clung to Tegan, continuing to cry softly. She remembered that today was Yeager’s full moon celebration and decided to cry for just a little while. After all, who hasn’t shed tears in their youth?At that moment, there was a knock at the door. From the sound of it, the person outside had a very refined aura. Tegan immediately guessed who it was; it certainly wasn’t her husband. She gently rubbed Gwen’s head. “I’ll go answer it.”When Tegan opened the door, as expected, it was Zion standing outside. The two locked eyes, and after a moment of silence, Tegan calmly spoke, “You two talk.” Zion nodded.In the quiet lounge, the soft sound of Gwen’s crying fill
The following August. It was the party for Ocelotte and Molly's child. Molly had given birth to a boy, named Yeager Sanders, a name chosen by her eldest brother-in-law, Lorian. She was very fond of the name. As for Lorian and Tegan's youngest son, he was named Fergus Sanders. Yeager and Fergus were the next generation of boys in the Sanders family. However, the first child was still Lola, the one and only little princess. She loved following Gwen around. The little girl was now three and a half years old and about to start kindergarten. On the day of Yeager's party, Gwen was still taking Lola around, but she unexpectedly ran into an old acquaintance. It had truly been a long time. Since the year Zion had left for another country, although they had occasionally bumped into each other, they hadn’t had the chance for a proper meeting. How many years had passed? Gwen didn't dare to think about it, nor did she want to calculate. She vaguely felt it had been four
After Yanni finished speaking, the Sanders family stood frozen in shock. It was Gwynn who recovered first, quickly asking Yanni, “How is Molly doing?” Yanni smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry, Aunt Gwynn. Molly is fine, just a bit overwhelmed. I think the baby came as a surprise. Ocelotte is with her right now.” Before Gwynn could respond, Noah muttered under his breath, “A surprise is great! A surprise is wonderful.” Although the young couple’s relationship was excellent, what parent wouldn’t hope for grandchildren? And with Ocelotte and Molly’s stunning looks, the baby was bound to be exceptional. The mere thought of it had Noah brimming with excitement. He silently speculated that it was definitely going to be an adorable little girl. Definitely just like Molly.After a while, Ocelotte emerged, carrying Molly in his arms. She had regained her strength after sipping some sweetened water but was advised to rest for a few days at home. Moreover, during the first trimeste
Over half a year later, in the golden autumn of October. The film "Scarlet Dreams, Jade Skies", starring Molly, achieved a blockbuster box office success and earned her a nomination for Best Actress at the prestigious Golden Bear Awards. On the night of the ceremony, the entire Sanders family showed up to cheer Molly on. Tegan, worried she might feel pressured, kept comforting her, saying, “It’s okay if you don’t win this time. There’s always next time.” Molly was deeply moved. Tegan had just finished her postpartum recovery and yet still came to support her. Looking at Ocelotte, Molly whispered, “I’ve already won the biggest award of my life, Tegan.” Usually composed, Tegan was amused by her and replied gently, “You’ve been much more lively since hanging out with Ocelotte! Your big brother thinks it’s great. He always praises Ocelotte for being so caring.” Molly felt a little shy and leaned in closer to chat softly with Tegan. Gwen handed over a piece of candy and qu
Molly spent the most joyful holidays of her life.In early spring, she married Ocelotte. Her wedding veil was an impressive three meters long, as the elders said that the longer the veil, the longer the marriage. So, Ocelotte had a three-meter-long veil designed for her.He said he wanted to be with her for three lifetimes and more.As the bells of the church rang, Molly, holding onto Lorian’s arm, slowly walked toward Ocelotte. From that moment on, they were one, bound together not only as a couple but as a family. His loved ones were now hers, and they would share both joy and hardship.The few meters between them felt like the culmination of the four years they had spent together.At the altar, Lorian handed Molly to his younger brother and gave his shoulder a gentle pat. "Take good care of her," he said.Ocelotte took a step forward, gazing at Molly through the delicate veil. Today, she looked like a pure white jasmine flower.Ocelotte gently lifted the veil, wanting her t
On the steps in front of the villa, Ocelotte and Molly stood ready to greet their guest. Brody stepped out of the car, looking particularly sharp and dashing tonight. The sight made Ocelotte frown instantly. Dressed as flamboyantly as a peacock, Brody had clearly put in some effort. Later, Ocelotte decided, he’d ask Molly outright who looked better. Was it him or Brody? Brody walked up the steps, his silhouette framed by the twilight. Molly stepped forward and gave him a brief hug. After everything they’d been through, they were like family now. Ocelotte, watching from the side: *Is all that closeness really necessary?* When Molly and Brody finally separated, Ocelotte decided he wanted a hug too. Brody froze, startled by the unexpected request, but before he could react, he was nearly bowled over by Ocelotte's overly enthusiastic embrace. Ocelotte pulled him into a firm hug, slapping him hard on the back. “Now that you’re leaving, I’ll really miss you, you know.”
Before the Spring Festival, Ocelotte moved out of the family estate and started living with Molly. Noah fully approved, saying, "Hurry up and move out. Don’t disturb your mom and me enjoying our world of two." Ocelotte swiftly packed his large luggage, pulled Gwen over, and shoved her toward Noah. "Dad, you must regret having a third child. Too late to send her back to Mom’s belly now." Noah frowned. "Can’t you pack your sister up and take her with you?" Ocelotte hoisted his luggage. "Dad. Molly and I also want our world of two. You and Mom just need to endure it a bit longer. Once Gwen gets married, you’ll truly have your world of two, and none of us kids will need you and Mom to take care of us." Noah cursed playfully, watching his youngest son nimbly hop into a black Range Rover and head toward his fiancée. For a moment, he felt a little sentimental. Noah still remembered the year Ocelotte was born. Times were tough, and he was locked in a life-and-death struggle wi
Ocelotte popped a fruit into his sister’s mouth, teasing her, "What are you thinking about? If you really want him back, go chase him down!"Gwen finished the fruit and muttered softly, "Are you crazy?"Back then, she and that person had broken up because her family disagreed. How could she possibly go after him now?Ocelotte stared at his sister intently for a moment, then chuckled, "He’s in Brookesville! He’s been there for years, hasn’t moved, hasn’t gone back to his hometown to marry that perfect wife. "I think you should be braver, Gwen, just like Molly. When she was young, she did so much wrong to me, but look at her now. When we reunited, she cried and begged to be with me. I couldn’t say no."Gwen's heart skipped a beat as the memory of that person flooded back. Could it really be that simple? Could she really go after him now? But so much time had passed, and so much had changed.Molly's cheeks turned a soft shade of red, but with Gwynn and Gwen around, she didn’t dare
As the evening twilight settled, the gleaming Rolls-Royce Cullinan slowly drove into the Sanders Residence, eventually coming to a stop in the parking lot. Tegan and Gwen, with Lola in tow, were waiting at the steps to greet them.When Lola saw Molly, she wobbled over and excitedly hugged the latter’s legs, calling her "Aunt Molly" affectionately. In a playful, exaggerated tone, Lola praised, "You look so beautiful, Aunt Molly!"Molly felt a bit shy at the compliment.Lola’s little hand then reached into the fruit basket, stealing a banana. Given that bananas are too cold for children to eat in winter, Molly gently took her hand and said, "Let's go to the kitchen, and I’ll heat it for you in the microwave." However, she hesitated, feeling it was more appropriate to first greet Ocelotte’s parents, as it was her first time here.Lorian told Molly to carry Lola to the kitchen, saying that there were no strict rules at home and that Ocelotte was already with their parents.Molly f
