Noah didn’t answer her call. Hanging up on it, he rolled over and lay down before he said casually, “That’s Kim! She’s getting more and more ignorant. She knew that you’d just come back from the prison.”Gwynn thought to herself how women turned into skillful detectives when their husbands became compulsive liars about the affairs they were having.With that said, she didn’t expose him. Instead, she said softly, “You should go. You can’t just put work aside!”What she said gave him an out. On top of that, he probably cared about Gianna very much because the warm and loving moment they were just sharing a second ago vanished into thin air immediately. He was probably feeling guilty too. Coughing lightly, he said, “I’m going to make a phone call in the study.”She smiled faintly in response.Just as he left, she rose and straightened up herself. Then, she opened the door and walked into the living room. The servant was feeding Holly formula. That was when Gwynn recognized th
Gwynn stopped him. Putting the baby back in her arms, she shook the milk bottle gently and soothed Holly. She said to Noah, “Holly’s not a house cat, how can you pick her up like this?!”He didn’t really care about it. He was about to retort when she raised her eyes and gave him a sidelong glance. He looked at her underneath the ceiling light. She wore nothing but a silk sleeping gown. Naturally, that was a seductive sight. Moreover, she was pregnant. That meant her breasts were more ample than usual. Then, he decided he’d say nothing. Brushing his hands against the baby girl’s cheeks, he said uneasily, “To be honest, she looks adorable now that I’ve spent some time with her! It’s just annoying when she cries.”She didn’t bother to respond to him. If it was any other lady, he would’ve given up on winning her heart. However, Gwynn giving him the cold shoulder made him fall for her even harder. He would give her anything just to see her flash a smile at him. With a baby in
Gianna laughed. She cackled maniacally until tears burst forth from her eyes, “Are you out of your mind, Noah? I can’t believe you went this far for her sake. Love is practically nonexistent between the two of you and yet you did everything you could to impregnate her.“What about me, then? I’m about to die, but did you think about giving me anything? Is this villa all that you’re going to give me? Well. I can’t take it to my grave, Noah. What about the stream of pills and the endless surgeries? Is that all you give me?”All of a sudden, she leaped at him and held him. Leaning on his firm body, she gyrated on him, trying to rouse his lust. She changed tactics and went soft on him. Kissing him relentlessly, she touched him sensually and murmured, “I want your baby too.”She even reached out, held his manhood, and said in a trembling voice, “Is she not satisfying you sexually? Look at you. You’re ready for some action!”Yanking on her hair, he forced her head up!His voice was s
“What’s on your mind?” Gwynn looked relaxed. “I miss Lorian! When are you bringing him over? I don’t feel good, leaving him all alone in Silvercrest!”Noah put a cigarette between his lips, but he didn’t light it up.Brushing her neck tenderly, he smiled. “Gladys is there. So, what are you worried about? Anyway, he’s going to come here soon enough. Lorian will be here in a week, max. Then, our family will finally be reunited.”He wanted to plant a kiss on her, but she ducked out of the way. He knew what she was thinking. Holding her in his arms, he nibbled on her delicate ear and murmured sultrily, “I didn’t sleep with her. I could do without spending my energy and effort elsewhere. I had to take care of something because I had to settle some matters there!“You can touch me there if you don’t believe me, Gwynn. You can tell if a guy has had sex just by touching it.”Gwynn grumbled softly, “How shameless.”He chuckled and changed the topic. “The summer solstice is in a couple
Dolores hesitated a little. However, Gwynn gave her a look and she went quiet immediately. Something was different about her mistress. Gwynn used to be a naive, innocent girl. It wasn’t as if she was fierce now or anything. On the contrary, she was still as gentle and soft as ever. It was just that there was something uniquely different about her eyes. Her mistress gave off an air of chilling authority now. Grabbing a scarf, she went downstairs leisurely to square off with Gianna by herself. …Gwynn and Noah’s apartment was located in an upscale neighborhood in Birkenfeld, the capital city of Gerlandia. There were quite a lot of Zutriysteinians in the area too. So, almost all apartments were decorated for the summer solstice in any way they could. However, the merry sight cast a stark contrast against Gianna, making her seem all the more lonely. It was rather cold tonight. Be that as it may, Gianna wore nothing but a dress, looking like a seductive spirit in the black of
Noah filled up his car with expensive gifts and had them brought up to his living room in the apartment.Gwynn didn’t even bat an eye at them. She soothed Holly and passed her to Dolores to carry her back to the bedroom, as she usually did. Only then did she sit on the couch and casually unwrap two of the gifts. As expected, they were expensive pieces of jewelry.She immediately lost interest in unwrapping the rest of them.Noah sat across the table, gave a sidelong glance at the expensive diamond necklace, and asked lightly, “Don’t you like it?” She shook her head gently. Running her hands across her flat belly, she said softly, “That’s not the point! I’m not that superficial, Noah. Compared with these pieces of jewelry, I’d much prefer some cash.“I remember that I didn’t really want to use the bank card Liam gave me or ask you for cash back when we were still living in Silvercrest. So, I never dared to go on social outings. Sometimes, I don’t even have enough cash on me to
Noah gulped. At that moment, he genuinely wanted to put Gianna behind him and let the woman die. That way, he could live out the rest of his life with Gwynn in peace.However, he left the hospital in the end.He couldn’t brush away the image of a helpless Gianna being ravaged by the three scumbags!Gwynn watched as he left. After a brief moment, she went back into the consultation room and sat before the Gerlandian doctor. She looked at him in a daze and said in a trembling voice. “Can you please repeat what you just said, doc?”The doctor sympathized with her very much. He showed her the results of the scan and said in a gentle voice, “The fetus’s heart didn’t develop properly. I suggest you terminate your pregnancy now if you want to show your baby some mercy.”She stared at the scan and fell into a trance. Her fetus’s heart didn’t develop properly, he said…Tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at him and asked, “Is it going to cause my baby much pain if his or her h
Noah returned to the apartment on the third morning. He went into the apartment and was changing his shoes when Dolores came over and whispered, “Ms. Gwynn kept crying by herself for the past two days, Mr. Noah! I’m worried sick about her.”He paused momentarily. Then, he took off his coat and walked into the bedroom.A streak of sunlight shone gently into the bedroom through the curtains and fell onto the white bed sheet. Holly was snuggled up in Gwynn’s embrace and slept, her cheeks looking as rosy as ever.He sat on the side of the bed.Then, Gwynn woke up. She looked at him quietly and noticed his stubble that he hadn’t had time to shave. After that, her eyes rested on the shirt he had worn three days ago. Noah often put a lot of thought into his outfit. He’d make sure he changed his attire once every day.However, he didn’t bother to change out of his shirt for three whole days because he had to stay by Gianna’s side. Clearly, the lady mattered very much to him. Her p
