Out of nowhere, Noah lost his temper. Walking over to the dining table, he said dryly, “Get dinner ready.”It was a New Year's Eve dinner. So, the servants prepared a big meal for the occasion. They went in and out of the dining hall, serving dinner on the dining table. Gladys went upstairs to fetch Gwynn a nightgown. Then, she helped her mistress to sit next to Noah. She even whispered to Gwynn, “Keep Mr. Noah happy. He brought Lorian here just for you. Don’t make him regret doing it.”Gwynn was puzzled.The snowstorm got heavier outside. Noah had just taken a flight all the way back here, but he looked cold and elegant. Pouring himself a glass of whiskey, he sipped it while training his gaze on her.She was a little picky about what she wanted to eat. There were some honey-glazed ribs right in front of him and Gladys put some of it on Gwynn’s plate. However, she wouldn’t eat it, no matter what the old servant said. So, he stabbed it with his fork, reached out, and placed it b
Noah had just entered the master bedroom when it suddenly occurred to him that he and Gwynn were divorced. It would be unseemly for them to sleep together. With that said, it was quite late now. He had no intention of cleaning up the cold, unwelcoming guest room and sleeping there. So, he strode over to the bed and laid down on it. Lifting the blanket, he saw Lorian and Gwynn holding each other tightly in their sleep. His baby boy was snuggled in her embrace.Lorian’s fair cheeks were pressing against his mother’s breasts. It was supposed to be a heartwarming sight, but he saw it differently. He had suppressed his lust earlier, but it came back with a vengeance. Picking his baby boy up, he put him down at the side of the bed. Then, he pinned Gwynn to the bed and started kissing her. At the same time, he lifted the hem of her skirt with another hand. He was very anxious to have a taste of her enchanting body. He couldn’t wait to slip his manhood into her before she was ev
This is so wrong, Gladys thought to herself. Noah descended the stairs slowly and made his to the living room on the ground floor. Gianna was wearing a fur coat and a set of extravagant jewelry while she sat on the couch, drinking tea. She carried herself as if she was the lady of the house. Then, she heard footsteps on the stairs and raised her head to see who it was. That was when the sight stunned her. She had waited for him for about ten minutes. At first, she didn’t let herself overthink it. Now, however, she saw his pajamas that were pried open and some faint scratch marks that were obviously left by a lady.So, it was true. He was really fooling around with Gwynn. That ticked her off considerably. It had been a long time since he did it with her. She almost felt like she was living a nun’s life. However, she still respected him enough to make up excuses for him. Perhaps he was so busy with work that the accompanying stress killed his lust.Now, she found out that he
Noah was stunned for a while. Then, he headed upstairs without another thought. He walked with long strides and raised his voice, addressing his servant. “Take Gianna to the guest room, Gladys.”She had seen the flirtatious moment between her master and his lover on the side. She just didn’t say anything about it. Her heart broke for Gwynn. Gwynn is so pure and innocent. It did’t take a genius to figure out that she must’ve resented Noah after she saw the obscene sight. She hadn’t been too fond of Noah, to begin with. Surely, she would never let him lay a finger on her again.That was why Gladys found Gianna’s presence distasteful. Walking over to Gianna, she pulled a long face and said, “This way, Ms. Gianna!”Gianna wasn’t exactly thrilled, either. The last thing she had expected to happen was for Noah to cut her off coldly even though they had a history together. More to the point, she was turned on. What was she supposed to do if he really left her alone?!She called o
Gladys turned around and left after she said her piece. Gianna was very pissed off, but, deep down, she knew that the old servant’s words, while rough, had the ring of truth. In the past, she was very confident that she’d get Noah. Compared to the overly naive Gwynn who was out of touch with the real world, she was the far more suitable candidate to be his wife. The world should be jealous of her. However, Noah had chosen Gwynn over her without so much as a moment of hesitation. It was very clear who meant more to him. She knew who he wanted, but that didn’t mean she would just roll over!In the end, she had to sleep in the guest room.The next morning, she woke up early, put on a puffer jacket, and took a stroll outside to take in the scenery. The villa was designed by a famous architect. So, it was filled with breathtaking sights every step of the way.There was a greenhouse built in the Nihonburg style in the backyard. The mean, old snob from last night was keeping Gwynn co
Noah smoked as he took in Gianna’s miserable looks. Then, realization struck her. True to form, he broke the silence after he smoked half of the cigarette. “I don’t like an over-assertive lady! I don’t like it when a lady tries to control my life. I think I made myself clear last night. I’m promoting you to assistant director as a way of making things up to you. We’ll never sleep together ever again!”She pressed. “Is it because of Gwynn?”Instead of answering her question, he leaned over and flicked the cigarette. He said dryly, “Pack your stuff up. My chauffeur will send you to the hotel and you’ll take a flight back to Brookesville the moment the airport lets the planes fly again!”Gianna was humiliated through and through. With tears in her eyes, she asked, “How am I not better than her? My looks and capability far outmatch hers. What’s so good about her?”Rising, he walked over to the door. Holding the doorknob, he murmured, “I made an oath when we were married. I’m going
Gwynn didn’t open the study’s door.She merely sat on the carpet as she took in the filthy sights from the footage with a blank expression on her face. Her tears caught the light from the laptop and glinted sharply. Then, Noah began rapping the door. However, she had locked it. About five minutes later, the door swung open fiercely. Noah had kicked it in. He was very irritated and was about to burst into anger. Then, he saw the sultry footage and was dumbfounded for a second. It was footage of him and Gianna doing it!Clearly, Gianna had recorded it secretly in the past and gave it to his ex-wife.Walking over, he slammed the laptop shut before pulling out the flash drive and snapping it in half. He paused for a while before turning around to look at Gwynn. She was leaning on the edge of the couch as she stared off into space, visibly shocked. He carried her onto the couch, but he didn’t leave her alone. Instead, he propped one of his hands on her shoulder and caressed
Gwynn reached out and felt above the couch. At last, her fingers touched a hard object. It was a painting hung on the wall. Then, she yanked at it with an uncharacteristic strength and pulled it off the wall. It fell squarely on Noah’s forehead at a frightening speed. He stopped what he was doing as crimson blood rolled down his cheeks, giving rise to a horrifying sight. She curled up and looked at him helplessly and fearfully. Her clothes were unkempt. Her jumper was lifted well below her hips, revealing her slender body. Her long pants were also pulled all the way down, hanging erotically by her ankles. Gladys heard the commotion and darted into the study. She let out a sharp cry when she saw the gory sight. “What on earth happened here?! What’s wrong with your forehead, Mr. Noah? Also, your clothes, Ms. Gwynn… Are you getting tortured or something?!”Noah regarded the old servant coldly. She should’ve been an actress. Gladys helped her mistress up and showered her with
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
