Maddox’s daughter looked just like him. She inherited his fair skin and looked absolutely beautiful.

A warm, cozy sensation rose within him. Reaching out, he tied the jade necklace around his daughter’s neck and adjusted the strap.

Hailey might’ve come from an ordinary family, but she knew how much this was worth. So, she immediately asked him, “Who gave you this, Maddox?”

Brushing her hair gently, he smiled faintly. “One of my college friends gave it to me. It just so happens she's staying in the same hospital too. So, I dropped by to say hi to her and she gave this to me.”

Hailey responded, “Oh.” Then, she added, “This jade isn’t exactly cheap, honey. If your friend is ill, then you should buy something of similar value and send it to her. We can’t let her think we're taking advantage of her. She'd look down on us.”

He nodded in response.

He kept quiet and stayed by her side. As a matter of fact, he knew he could live out the rest of his life happily if he continued to play t

    Noah was punishing her. He was doing it because she was unfaithful to him. Gwynn couldn’t stop it. She tried to convince herself to stop caring. So, she pitted herself against him while she was bare naked. Staring at him with her compromised sight, she said gently, “Do you still have any feelings for me?”For a second there, he fell into a trance. Out of nowhere, the memories flooded his mind. Beads of sweat clung to her fair and delicate body when they first had sex, looking a lot like the dew hanging onto the petals of roses in the morning. That night was the first time he tasted every inch of her body.However, she looked like a wilting rose now. He wasn’t happy with the way she talked to him. So, he landed a flurry of kisses and caressed her shriveled body, trying to remind her of their shared memories. “You used to love me like crazy, Gwynn! We used to have a great time having sex with each other!”He was so jealous of Maddox that he was handling her too roughly. Gwyn

    Gwynn kept asking him what was real when it came to him.However, Noah didn’t respond to her. Deprived of a much-needed answer, she searched deep within her dying soul, found a fiery strength, and sat up. She couldn’t see him, but she knew he was just right in front of her. Feeling around the night table, she closed her fingers around a heavy object and hurled it at where she thought he was. At that moment, she was really out to kill him. That was right! She wanted him dead!It had been years since he had deceived and tortured her. She had been through the most desperate and anguished moments, but she had never wished him dead. At this moment, however, she indisputably wanted him to die. At the next moment, her thoughts were turned into words.She yelled hysterically, “Drop dead, Noah!”Blood as red as wine flowed down the side of his forehead. Gwynn had smashed a vase on his head. Raising his hand, he wiped the blood off and stared at her, saying softly, “Do you really mea

    Noah continued to fidget with the jade. He asked dryly, “What’s your baby’s name? Holly Herman, was it?”Hailey responded, “Yeah.” Then, she added, “We have an agreement, Mr. Noah. Our deal was done once Maddox and I got married. We weren’t supposed to see each other again.”Raising his eyes, he stared at her.She trembled all over. There was nothing but coldness on his face. Then, he said in an equally cold tone, “I seem to recall that I also told you to make him fall in love with you completely so he wouldn’t wander to the wrong places.”That was when it hit her. Staring at the jade with unblinking eyes, she knew who it was from. Her heart sank.She might’ve just given birth, but she couldn’t care about it now. Slipping out of the bed, she kneeled before him. After all, she knew how ruthless he was capable of being. Then, she started begging him to let Maddox go. “Maddox wouldn’t do something like that!“Even if they did meet up, I’m sure they were only seeing each

    As long as Noah lived, Gwynn would never know peace. At the same time, Hailey would always be under his thumb. He had seen the security footage. He saw how his wife groveled at Noah’s feet, begging for the man to spare him. How silly!He wasn’t good enough for her to be doing this for him……Noah returned to Gwynn’s ward and forced some porridge down her throat. In the end, she only ate half of it.Lorian was crying in the next room. He had been wailing intensely for the past two days. It was so serious that his voice was turning hoarse. He kept yelling, “Mommy… Mommy…”It broke her heart. With that said, she didn’t talk to Noah about it. After all, she had no interest in talking to him about anything. As far as she was concerned, he was just a stranger to her.He stared at her quietly for a brief moment. Then, he asked, “Don’t you care about Lorian?”She simply remained quiet. Averting his gaze, he put down the bowl of porridge and walked over to the next ward. Gl

    Gladys was so happy that she teared up. Noah wasn’t around that day, so she seized the opportunity to talk to her mistress. Sitting by the bed, she said, “You’re doing much better now, Ms. Gwynn. You have to think about Lorian and stay alive! There are no second chances when it comes to life. I’ve never heard about someone coming back from the dead, either!” Gwynn leaned on the headboard. The little boy was fidgeting with a toy dinosaur egg. He couldn’t have enough of it. Parting his lips, he gave out a hearty laugh, revealing his white teeth and looking all adorable. These joyful sounds were what gave her strength. Wiping her tears, Gladys said, “I’m sure Mr. Noah would go easier on you when you’ve fully recovered. Anyway, I heard from Kim that he found you a perfect pair of corneas. The donor’s in Amestria right now.“Once your surgery has been scheduled, the donor would fly over right before the date. You’re about to regain your sight, Ms. Gwynn.”Gwynn only responded brie

    Gwynn leaned back on the headboard and remained quiet. The window wasn’t closed completely, allowing a cool breeze to rush into the ward and assault her already weakened body. She heard everything. Her husband was going to redirect the cornea donor to Gerlandia because Gianna was sick too. She needed a heart transplant. Alan told him that she could become blind for good, but Noah stood firm with his decision. It would’ve been hilarious it if wasn’t so tragic. He really had to take a good look at himself. How he could claim that he loved her when his actions suggested otherwise? He actually told her that he wanted to start over with her and give her happiness. She looked grim and indifferent. How lucky it was that she understood Francorian. Noah missed that part about her when he was investigating her background. She traveled to Francoria for a whole year when she was eighteen years old. It wasn’t too hard for her to understand common Francorian.She couldn’t help but thi

    Noah warmed her ice-cold hands with his warm hands. He even held Lorian in his arms and spoke in an uncharacteristically tender tone, telling her about their future. “Once your surgery is through, we’ll go skiing in Seridian every year. I’m sure Lorian will love it! “You can choose to live in any country or city you like then. As for my business, I can always look for a business partner or work remotely.“Seridian or Nordhaven are wonderful choices. “How about you tell me which country you like, Gwynn?”…He said so much, but none of it moved her.She even sneered internally. After all, it wouldn’t do if he ran himself down, trying to make empty promises to her while being worried about Gianna’s condition. Are you sure you can hold down both of us, Noah?Noah didn’t get any answer from her. At the next moment, his phone rang. He was worried that the phone call might affect her mood. After some consideration, he lay down on the bed and answered the phone, “Noah speaking.”

    Gladys was just nagging. She wasn’t expecting her master to actually give her an answer. To her surprise, he offered up an explanation to Gwynn when he lifted his suitcase. “One of the branch companies in the southern hemisphere ran into an emergency. I have to be there to solve it.“Anyway, Dr. Alan said you’re doing marvelously in the recovery process. As for the corneas, I’m aware of the time crunch. Trust me, I’m looking for a pair as fast as I can. Give me a month. You’re going to regain your sight within a month. That’s a promise, Gwynn.”She lay on the bed and listened to his alleged sweet, loving words. Southern hemisphere, he said…That meant he was going to Gerlandia!The irony didn’t escape her. She would’ve been fine if he merely stopped loving her, but why did he insist on lying to her over and over again? His lies were so badly crafted now she was sick of keeping up the act for him. She smirked in response.Kissing her on the cheeks, he murmured, “My chauffeur

    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

    Zion could sense Gwen’s cautiousness and chuckled softly. Then, he cupped her face and planted a firm kiss on her lips. “Don’t worry, I won’t touch you. We agreed to save that for our wedding night. Besides, I just drank last night, so I probably wouldn’t be much use. I want your first time to be special, so I’ll make sure I’m well-prepared.” Gwen’s cheeks turned crimson. She buried her face in his chest, mumbling, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” How peculiar! Back then, even though they were together, their relationship had always been proper and restrained. But now, here they were, sharing a bed, their bodies so intimately close it was both thrilling and embarrassing. Gwen had never experienced this before. Zion seemed to understand her thoughts. He leaned in close to her ear and whispered, “I haven’t either. Before the wedding night, I’ll make sure to study hard.” Gwen didn’t dare ask how he planned to “study,” though she had a pretty good idea—i
