Ever since Zoe went missing, Noah spent the past year trying to move his business from Silvercrest to Brookesville. Lockwood Corporation was still the top group company in the city’s latest financial evaluation, with Leslie’s and Noah’s companies not far behind.

The Schmidts had been building up their businesses for generations, while Noah singlehandedly brought his company up to its glorious state now. Needless to say, he partook in unconventional and ruthless methods to attain success.

Now that he traveled back to Brookesville, Gwynn was left behind in Nihonburg. She was still the same after all these years. Her mind was still that of a child, always clinging to him. She was fearful of him, but she could never leave him.

She gave birth to a boy. His name was Lorian and his father took care of him most of the time!

Gwynn, however, had never been close to her son. Her appearance and her mind were akin to those of a teenager’s. For the past six months, she’d fought back most vehemen

    Clearing his throat, he said, “Yeah! I was with Alice yesterday.”She said fondly, “Geez. She’s mom. Why would you call her Alice instead? How shameless of you, Daddy.”Mason didn’t have a good comeback for that. He waited until the black limousine was far away before he looked at Mia and said, “Did Yanni just sass me?”She responded, “If the boot fits!”He touched his nose in response. However, he simply had too much of a good time last night. So, he didn’t let it bother him. He carried Jamie in his arms and kissed him, “Mom’s going to be back soon. You don’t have to call her Alice anymore.”Jamie might’ve been a little boy, but he knew what was going on. “Daddy loves Alice.”This time, both Mason and Mia chuckled. She grumbled light-heartedly, “It’s your fault. You didn’t do a good job with both of your kids. Now, they have sharp tongues. Zoe’s going to get on your case!”Underneath the morning sunlight, he said in a serene smile, “I’ll soothe her when that happens.”Tears fi

    It was evening. The last traces of the evening light cast its orange ray through the window and into the room. Its glow softened their features as she stared at Yanni in silence. The little girl had an impeccable appearance.Aside from being very pretty, there was something about her that Zoe loved very much. She couldn’t put her finger on it, though. After a brief pause, she couldn’t help but patted Yanni’s head and said truthfully, “You’re right. I love your dad.”Yanni said brightly, “Don’t worry, Alice. Both Jamie and I won’t get in your way of winning my dad’s heart. If you to get married someday, maybe both of us can be your flower girls.”Raising her eyes, the little girl stared into Zoe’s eyes, “We can even start calling you ‘Mom’ or ‘Mommy.’”Zoe didn’t have any comeback for that. Then, she heard the sound of a car pulling into the yard. Mason was probably back home.He parked the car and turned off the engine. Then, he got out of the car. It was quite chilly ou

    Taking the card, she flipped it over and examined it. It was a VIP bank card crested in diamonds. Needless to say, it was different from the common bank cards. They should probably have plated it with pure gold and adorned it with jades while they were at it. In any case, Zoe was concerned that he didn’t apply a bank card in her name. Instead, he used his name. That was undoubtedly an intimate gesture. She couldn’t accept it. She murmured, “We’ve known each other for barely three months, Mason. This is moving too fast.”Caressing her cheeks, he responded, “We’ve done way more intimate stuff, Zoe. How is this moving too fast?”Her face turned red at that. Then, he tucked the bank card in her pocket before leaning close to kiss her, “In fact, my salary goes into this bank card! I know I’m the director, but I get paid every month too. “Not counting the dividend, my year-round salary is a little over twenty million dollars and they’re all in here! How about it?

    Zoe’s heart started pounding!She had never thought Mason would want to have a baby with her. After all, he already had a son and a daughter. She was concerned about Yanni’s feelings in particular. The little girl was eight years old. Out of respect to her birth mother, she might not want another younger brother or sister. That wasn’t even talking about the kids’ different status in the family.She stared at him briefly before she groaned, “Mason!”Instead of responding to her, he ran his hand across her face gently. It was quiet in the night and they were alone in the car. She couldn’t help but think back to the passionate moments they shared last night. After a long time, she couldn’t take it and turned her face to the side and murmured, “It’s turned green!”He chuckled in response and stepped on the gas pedal lightly. Instead of heading to her apartment, he drove for another five minutes before pulling over by a drugstore.Unbuckling himself, he said, “I need to buy somethi

    Caressing his neck, she could barely hold onto him. His skin was covered in sweat. Beads of sweat rolled down his Adam’s apple and dripped on where their private parts were joined with each other. A puddle had collected on the floor, painting a sultry picture. She moaned and said, “Take it easy, Mason!”He couldn’t!With that said, he cared about her feelings. Gripping her arms, he wrapped them around his hips. Slowing down a little, he lowered his head and stared at her. Then, he made her look at him. Pressing against her lips, he talked dirty to her, “Look at me, Zoe. I want you to look at me. Turn me on more and make it feel all the better for me.”She couldn’t do it. She didn’t dare to look at him, let alone when his manhood slipped in and out of her. Sometimes, a lady’s pride and reluctant acceptance act like an aphrodisiac for a man. It was enough to make him go crazy. More to the point, it had been a long time since he had had sex with her. What they did last night

    “Mom… I mean, Alice?” Yanni sounded vulnerable. She was on the verge of tears.Zoe’s lips trembled. She carried Yanni into her arms, but she didn’t ask or say anything. The fact was that there could only be one answer for it. There was only one answer where it could explain how she ended up with Mason and why he treated her this way.She was his estranged wife!Doing everything she could to suppress her own feelings, she held the little girl’s hands and told Luke they’d hail a cab when they were done with dinner.The old chauffeur checked in with Mason before agreeing to it. Running her fingers across Yanni’s face, she said, “Let’s go have some dinner!”Then, she shouldered her school bag and kept holding onto the little girl’s hands, reluctant to let go.Mom’s back! Yanni thought to herself.Zoe picked a high-end restaurant for dinner. It was The One Gourmet, a global chain of French restaurants. The moment she stepped into it, the waiter was stunned. She stammered, “Ms. Zoe!

    A few minutes later, she and Liam were sitting in a coffee shop. Yanni, on the other hand, was sitting on the couch. She was paging through some books, feeling bored, but she kept her ears pricked.He looked at the little girl and couldn’t help but feel downhearted. There was such a time when Yanni used to greet him warmly. However, she had forgotten about it completely. Averting his gaze, he looked at Zoe and said, “She’s such a big girl now!”There were some inexplicable emotions in his eyes. Zoe used to hate him to the bones. There was no way she would’ve had coffee with him if she hadn’t lost her memories. After all, he vividly remembered how she tried to ram him with a car.On the other hand, she could just guess who she was to him. Lowering her head, she stirred her coffee and said softly, “I’m sorry! I’ve lost my memories and I don’t remember who you are. I don’t think we’re lovers or anything. Right?”Liam raised his head slightly. Underneath the gentle glow of the

    Zoe woke up in a hospital. The ceiling light was harsh on her eyes. So, she shut them again. She gave herself a couple of minutes and opened her eyes when they had adjusted.Then, she saw Mason sitting by the bed. He was dressed in formal attire and probably got here from the office. His eyes were bloodshot.Turning her head toward the window, she saw the moon on the horizon. She asked softly, “What time is it now?”“It’s one in the morning!” His voice was a little husky. Leaning over, he ran his hands across her face affectionately while he stared at her profoundly. They might’ve been a couple and did a lot of intimate stuff together, but it felt a little different now. Aside from the genuine love in his eyes, the way he was looking at her was the way a husband would look at his wife. However, the more affectionate he was toward her, the more it broke her heart.She simply couldn’t move on from Lilith.Leaning her cheeks on the white pillow, she listened to his breathing. B

    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
