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

Many years had passed since the tragedy, but how was she supposed to forget that she used to be pregnant with Leslie’s child? More to the point, she could never forget how ghastly the circumstances were that caused her to lose the same baby.The irony wasn’t lost on her when she realized that Leslie made another baby with Nellie!She couldn’t possibly move on from it. Zoe, too, saw the couple at the entrance, so she held Ella’s hand, trying to offer her some comfort. Nellie stepped into the coffee shop and saw Ella. Leslie was probably treating her quite nicely because her old habits returned with a vengeance. Looking at Ella, who still had a place in her husband’s heart, she took a dig at her. “Fancy bumping into you here, Ella!”Ella was glaring at her, the hatred in her eyes so intense that she wanted to squeeze the life out of Nellie there and then. On the other hand, Zoe was much calmer. She looked at Nellie indifferently. “Pleasure meeting you here! It seems life has f

Leslie turned around and left. Nellie was stunned by his reaction and took off after him. “Leslie!”She found him at the end of the hallway, smoking. Then, she approached him and realized that his eyes were completely red. Quivering with anger, she said, “Are you sad because she's about to marry someone else? Do you have lingering feelings for her after all these years, Leslie? “You’ve slept with countless ladies. What makes her so special? What, did she put a spell on you for you to love her so? Or, was it because she was particularly good in bed?”The next thing she knew, she was slapped in the face!Nellie couldn’t believe what just happened. She stared at him incredulously for a brief moment before she yelled hysterically. “Did you just slap me because of her? I’m pregnant, for Heaven’s sake!”“That’s not my baby in your belly!” he said coldly. Nellie was stunned. She murmured, “Are you out of your mind? What do you think you’re saying, Leslie?”Lowering his gaze, he loo

The truth was, Zoe remembered Westley.The Sanders and the Lockwoods used to have some business relationships when she was very young. From time to time, she’d follow her parents when they paid a visit to his family. If her memory served her correctly, Westley was gentle and well-mannered. If he hadn’t left his family behind back then, then Mason probably would’ve been a gentleman as well. Westley broke the silence, his voice was exactly the same as she remembered, sophisticated and graceful. “Can I have a word with you, Zoe?”Opening the car door, she got out of the car and faced him. They might not have known each other that well, but both of them shared some common family members. Instead of bringing up the past, he asked her about Mason and Yanni. Then, he also asked about Barbara.After a brief moment of silence, she said bitterly, “Grandma had been waiting for your return her whole life. She even called out to you during her last moments. She got delusional in the end an

The wedding banquet was still bustling with excitement.There was a special guest, who quietly arrived and hoped to leave just as quietly. He was afraid to disturb her mood and feared that if she saw him, she might not be pleased. However, despite his best efforts, they still crossed paths in the hallway.Gael stood quietly, watching Yanni. She had just taken Ella to the restroom, as she wasn’t comfortable leaving her alone. Besides Ella, there was another small girl with her, probably one of the twins she had with Keaton. The other twin was her brother.The twins were named Shay Bright and Drew Bright.

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. Even more delightful, she was marrying her childhood love. Dressed in a headpiece and red bridal gown, she was as beautiful as could be, the most stunning woman Zion had ever seen.The Quarto family was busy with preparations. Although they were not extremely wealthy, Jordyn was a capable family head with a good reputation. He handled both inside and outside affairs with finesse and charm. To everyone’s surprise, he got along very well with Mason.However, Noah had some reservations. “Don't you have any relatives of your own, Mason?”Mason didn’t engage with his criticism.

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
