The sun shone onto the white bed in their hotel room as it creaked rhythmically without a pause. This time, it took Mason forty minutes before he shot his love into her. After that, they held each other tightly as they basked in the lingering feelings from the climax. They were both sweating profusely when he leaned in her ear and said in his deep voice, “I can’t believe you said you didn’t have feelings for me. Is this how you look when you have casual sex?”At first, she was panting. Then, she slowly brought her breathing to a steady rate. After a brief moment, she said softly, “You didn’t use any condoms last night! Go out there and buy me a birth control pill.”On the other hand, he didn’t mind having another baby with her. It wasn’t as if he couldn’t afford it. Then, it occurred to him that he had been taking Cecil’s medicine lately. Perhaps it wasn’t a good idea to have a baby now.So, he agreed to it. That wasn’t to say he didn’t remember how the birth control pills made
To make things worse, Mason decided he’d tease her. “Does it feel good? Is it because you get more horny the older you become? You just said you didn’t want to be with me, but what are you going to do about your lust? Who else could satisfy you the way I do?”How shameless!She wasn’t about to back down. “There are plenty of guys out there!”Looking at her quietly, his eyes grew darker. There was a hint of menace and lust in his eyes. If she kept talking back to him, then he probably would force himself on her again.Wearing a blank expression, he proceeded to grope her and touch her sensitive spots to get a reaction out of her.Wrapping her arms around his neck, she leaned in closer just so he couldn’t see the embarrassed look on her face. Both of them remained quiet for a while before he leaned in her ear and whispered seductively, “I’m getting hard again!”Of course, he didn’t act upon his lust. He wasn’t an animal. It was worth mentioning that things would’ve been differe
Zoe had belonged to Mason the whole time. Gregory was the only fool who had willingly been the invisible outsider, not even worthy of being the third wheel.At the next moment, his phone rang.He ignored it, but it kept ringing. It seemed the caller wasn’t about to give up anytime soon. In the end, he leaned over and picked up his phone from the glove compartment and checked it. It was his fiancée.Her voice was silky when she spoke. “I want to refit my wedding dress tomorrow, Gregory. Will you go with me?”Leaning back on his seat, he wore a blank expression. The fact was that he knew his fiancée loved him, but they were only marrying each other for business purposes. Why did she have to treat it so seriously?!With that said, he wasn’t about to embarrass her.His voice was husky when he said, “Sure! Let my assistant know about the details! I’ll go with you tomorrow.”His fiancée was delighted to hear it. She proceeded to discuss some of the wedding ceremony details with him
Ella looked affectionate and serene whenever she talked about Farley and his daughter. Staring at her friend quietly, Zoe fell into deep thought. Ella had changed completely. She had become someone akin to Rosemary, capable and independent. She was happy that Ella turned out like this. Now that she had brought up Rosemary, Ella insisted that they had to ask her out for some coffee or something. Zoe knew, deep down, that her friend wanted to meet up with Rosemary because she was a friend of Farley’s. Ella wanted to hear Rosemary talk about her late husband so that, in a way, he’d be able to live on in this world. Then, she left Ella’s apartment. She couldn’t help but feel sad about Farley. He was such a decent man that it was painful to think that they had lost him. She hated how unfair and indifferent the universe was.With that said, she couldn’t do anything about it. It was evening when she went to The One Gourmet’s office building. There was a pile of work waiting for h
Zoe made her way into her villa. It was as warm as spring here. Several of her servants filed down the stairs and greeted her warmly when they saw her. “Mr. Mason sent over a lot of gifts. We’ve moved all of them to the private lounge on the second floor! Please go over them when you have the chance. Ms. Zoe.”Her servants had always worked hard. So, she didn’t have the heart to reprimand them. “Okay.” She responded lightly and climbed the stairs. Opening the bedroom door, she saw a mountain of delicate gift boxes, each of them came with a gift card too. She counted and found that there were a total of thirty-one gifts in there. Mason had given her thirty-one gifts because she was thirty-one years old now.Taking off her coat, she sat on the wool carpet and unwrapped her gifts. Some of them were exquisite pieces of jewelry while some others were limited edition handbags. There was also silk sleepwear and skincare in there. As she unwrapped the last box of gifts, she saw a Pat
The night was as gentle and mellow as it could be. Mason’s voice sounded exceptionally seductive on this beautiful night. “It’s hard to please you, Zoe.”She didn’t respond to that. All she did was lie down on the pillow and listen to his light breathing. She didn’t say or do anything. Instead, she resorted to wasting her time and life away, holding the phone…With that said, Mason was keeping her company on the other end of the phone. So, was she really wasting her time here?Not long after, she actually fell asleep!At the other end of the phone, he was sitting in the study as he looked out the window and into the night. He knew Zoe felt wronged because he humiliated and chased her away the last time he was still in a wheelchair. She was a proud lady. How was she supposed to be okay with that and reconcile with him, just like that?They might've slept with each other last night, but he knew Zoe too well to be thinking that she’d reconcile with him because they had sex severa
Saül asked solemnly, “Is it because of Mason?”He had put his feelers out and confirmed that Zoe was no longer attached to Mason. Moreover, he put a lot of thought into it before he started making his moves on her. He was no longer a young man. That was why he gave himself enough time to be sure that he wanted a wife like Zoe.She was exquisite and charming, exactly his type. Zoe shook her head, “It’s not entirely about him, Saül! Please believe me when I say I have reasons of my own for this decision.”Staring at her for quite some time, he finally confirmed that she wasn’t joking, nor was she playing hard to get.What a shame, Saül thought to himself. Despite his personal feelings, he maintained his composure and said, “If that’s the case, I hope you’ll do me the honor of having this dinner with me! We can seize this opportunity and talk about the details of the collaboration.”She didn’t make something out of his invitation. The fact was that she loved dealing with smart,
Mason had spoken the truth.She did come here for a blind date. However, she couldn’t have predicted that it’d be Saül. With that said, she wasn’t about to appear weak before Mason. Leaning on the car window, she said coldly, “So what if it was a blind date? We’re no one to each other, Mason. You don’t have the right to stop me from going on dates!”Instead of responding to her, he was content with staring at her quietly.After a long time, Zoe intended to get out of the car. At the next moment, she heard a soft click. Mason had locked her in once again. She turned to the side and looked at him. She still couldn’t read his face. He was staring right at her when he said, “We have an agreement, Zoe. We could ask each other out if we want to have sex! What’s the matter? Did it slip your mind?”Zoe was both mortified and upset at what he said. They might’ve been married and slept with each other countless times in the past, but she still couldn’t take it every time he blatantly t
In the presidential suite, the newlywed night was fiery, filled with affection and intimacy. 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. Ella adored her younger siblings. Whenever she came home from school, she would always spend some time playing with them first. At night, she would sneak her little sister into her room and cuddle her to sleep, treating her like a little doll.At first, Yanni was quite worried, but she lat
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. Together with Zoe, they helped with the wedding arrangements. A traditional Chinese wedding was far more elaborate than a Western one, but thankfully, the families had enough help to avoid any chaotic moments.During the d
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
