After a brief moment, Zoe said softly, “Ella’s going to move her businesses back to Brookesville.”

Rosemary knew about it. After all, she was friends with Farley. Then, she gripped Zoe’s hands and said, “She can move back to Brookesville anytime. Just give me a call if she needs help with anything. I’ll be there for her.”

Smiling faintly, Zoe responded, “You have my thanks.”

Rosemary waved it off, signaling her that this was what friends do for each other.

Both of them were a little saddened by this particular turn of events!

At the next moment, a servant came in and told Rosemary that her important guests had arrived.

Excusing herself, she said, “I’ve been wanting to make a connection with this guest for quite some time now. It took me several attempts to get this person to come to my party. Please excuse me, Zoe. You’re more than welcome to feel at home here.”

Zoe smiled faintly in response as her friend left.

After Rosemary left, she took a stroll in the backyard because i

    Zoe caught herself and stopped. She was actually embarrassed that she had told him about it. Why, Mason had abandoned her as well as Yanni for a long time, but she still couldn’t let go of her hatred for him…With that said, she didn’t want to appear bitter. So, she composed herself and said calmly, “There’s no point in saying these things anymore! You made your choice two years ago, Mason. Don’t backtrack on it and try to keep things open between us!”Then, she lowered her voice abruptly, “I’m with someone now!”Mason was completely stunned by her response. Staring straight into her eyes, he was having trouble grasping what he had just heard. Did she just say she was with someone now?Tears filled her eyes and she asked him, “What did you expect? He looked after me and loved the kids. I think he’s the right man for me.”So, what she meant was that she fell in love with another man.He fell into a trance for a long time. Then, he asked softly, “Can you tell me who it is?”Sh

    It was autumn and it was cold outside. Tugging at the coat, she wrapped it around her delicate face, the refined fabric felt so comfy to the touch. She could just smell David’s scent off of it.Then, she snapped out of the trance!Shaking her head, she denied David’s claim. “It’s nothing like that!”The next thing she knew, David held her shoulders. Her slender figure made her look especially fragile, like a delicate flower. They looked like a perfect match in this exquisite view.Sitting in the wheelchair, Mason stared at them quietly as they left. He turned his back to the pitch-black night. Now that he was no longer feeling the joy of reuniting with Zoe again, the night had lost its serene beauty. In its place, a layer of sorrow and hopelessness draped over it.David was embracing her. They looked so lovely together. She used to be his everything, but she belonged to another man now.…David kept Zoe company all the way to the parking lot, where a black limousine was waitin

    Zoe ordered Jorge softly, “Stop the car!”Slamming on the brake, he pulled the car over by the street. Then, he turned his head around and asked puzzlingly, “What’s the matter, Ms. Zoe?”She responded in a nonchalant tone, “I’m going to take a stroll. Just go on home without me.”Taking a look at the manor behind the car, he knew that she was shaken by the sight of her childhood home. He said immediately, “You want to take a look at your old manor, don't you, Ms. Zoe? I’ll just wait for you right here.”Forcing a smile, she turned down his offer. “I’ll hail a cab once I'm done.”Jorge hesitated for a second before agreeing to it. Getting out of the car, he opened the car door for her and said, “Don’t worry, Ms. Zoe. I won’t say a single thing about this to Mr. David.”She remained quiet in response. Instead of explaining herself, she tugged at the scarf on her shoulder and made her way to the lonesome manor.It was a moonlit night. Zoe walked on the concrete floor with her high

    Zoe tried, but failed to break free. Mason kept a tight grip on her. His left arm was deceptively powerful. Staring into her eyes, she realized there was unbridled lust in them.She had no idea if her words had hit him hard because he loosened his grip the next moment. After that, not only did he let her go, but he also apologized to her genuinely, “I’m sorry, Zoe. I acted out of line!”Her lips were trembling as she rose to her feet. At that moment, her phone rang. Throwing him a glance, she took the phone out of her pouch and was surprised when she saw the caller’s name. It was Leslie. He asked her out in a very polite manner, saying that he wanted to welcome her back to Brookesville. She wondered about it for a second and agreed to it. Mason looked at her as she hung up the phone. “Have you been hanging out with Leslie?”“Sometimes,” she said lightly. She was talking to him gracefully again. Looking at Mason, her mind traveled back to about a year ago when she was four mo

    Luke stepped out of the car and left both of them alone in the car. Within the confined space, both of their scents did everything they could to penetrate each other’s bodies. The sensation was overwhelming.What was sad was that Zoe might’ve been sitting next to him now, but he no longer had a place in her heart.Lowering the car window halfway through, he cast his glance outside and said in a somewhat tender tone, “Where are the kids? Why didn’t you bring them along? Jamie has got to be two years old by now!”Zoe prepared herself for this moment, but her eyes still couldn’t help but turn red. It turned out that he knew about Jamie all along. All this time, he knew that she was pregnant with his second baby. He knew that baby Jamie had been born, but he still chose to leave them alone for so long. How ironic, she thought. She was the fool who waited for him to show up in Silvercrest for the past couple of years.However, she could never ask him about it. All she’d achieve by d

    Zoe returned to her apartment. It was dark and cold at the door as she leaned on it, panting lightly. Her legs were still shaking to this moment.She knew that she’d run into Mason at some point if she returned to Brookesville, but she didn’t count on it being so soon. Everything he did to her at the Kirk Manor entrance deterred her. She had a sharp hunch that he was particularly dangerous right now. It’d be wise for her to stay away from Brookesville. However, Jamie’s hay fever was getting very serious and Silvercrest wasn’t a good place for him. Zoe was stunned for a long time before she raised her hand to turn on the lights. At the next moment, the lights shone on her delicate features, her cheeks fair and exquisite. She might’ve given birth to two kids, but time hadn’t laid its cruel fingers on her. She still looked as beautiful as ever. After a long time, she stood upright, walked over to her wine cabinet, and took out a bottle of champagne. She needed some liquor in her to

    Moments later, Luke started the engine and drove the car away. Mason didn’t say anything and sat quietly the whole time. From time to time, he’d look at his right arm. If only this arm was left unscathed, it would’ve given him much-needed courage to beg Zoe to return to him, regardless of his busted feet.However, it was too late to fantasize about it now.…The next day, Zoe met up with Leslie.At first, she thought she’d just have a cup of coffee and leave after a brief talk. However, he insisted on having a lunch. “It’s been a long time since we last met, Zoe. Are you not going to let me treat you to a meal?”In the end, they had lunch in a high-end clubhouse. Leslie wasn’t exactly focused on his food. Instead, he kept staring at her the whole time. Needless to say, he wasn’t staring at her because she was beautiful. He was merely using her to get some information on Ella. Putting down her glass of wine, she said lightly, “I know what you want, Leslie. You want to know

    Fiddling with his phone, Leslie snorted and said, “You say that, but I’ve never had sex with any other lady on our marital bed!”Nellie was about to defend herself when he took more than a dozen pictures out of his front pocket. Then, he flung them onto the bed one by one. He looked at her and sneered, “Get a good look at these saucy pictures! You slept with so many different guys! I wouldn't have known that you’ve got such a darling figure if it weren’t for these pictures. Look at all the fun you’ve had, Nellie.”Picking up the pictures, she checked each and every one of them. She was completely stunned. Then, she came to her senses and started begging him instinctively, “I did it because I’m too lonely! Please don’t show my dad these pictures, Leslie. He'll kill me.”She was still afraid that he’d deny her her wish. After all, she knew better than anyone how heartless he could be. He singlehandedly tortured her and reduced her to a husk of her former self in the past few yea

    At that moment, Gwen was completely flustered. She didn’t understand what Zion meant, nor did she understand why he was deliberately getting close to her. She wanted to ask, but before she could, Zion had already led her out of the car. The restaurant arranged by the school leadership was nearby, just off campus. Gwen had been there with Zion before, but not in a private room. Returning to an old haunt brought a sense of nostalgia. Zion walked side by side with Gwen. He was six-foot tall, and she was about five-foot-five. They made for a strikingly good-looking pair. Considering their history, the school leaders naturally couldn’t resist teasing them a bit. Gwen felt slightly uncomfortable and replied, "We were young and foolish." Over the years, Zion had grown seasoned in the business world, exuding an effortless charm. He responded with a light smile, "I wonder if we can pick up where we left off—still holding a grudge?" As soon as those words were said, the schoo

    After running away in a flurry that night, Gwen retreated into her home, avoiding the world outside for several days. Her father, Noah, meanwhile, busied himself with his new hobby of keeping turtles—purchased on a whim after his wife, Gwynn, teased him for being too old. In an attempt to prove his youth, Noah even released the turtles back into the wild one evening, making a point of marking one with the name "Zion" on its shell in a bold act of petty revenge. Gwynn, ever the pragmatist, found the gesture immature and pointless, but it brought him a fleeting sense of satisfaction. Gwen, however, was unaware of the antics her father had indulged in. All she knew was that her father had been unusually concerned during her self-imposed seclusion, urging her to get out and take a break. Noah's insistence that she shouldn’t remain cooped up at home was an attempt to draw her back into the world, to reconnect with life. But she couldn’t shake the weight of everything that had transp

    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
