Kim wasn’t sure where to begin. Looking at Noah, she said softly, “Ms. Gwynn had a miscarriage, Mr. Noah! The doctor said it happened because her belly suffered severe blunt trauma. They’ve already removed the remains of your unborn baby in her belly.”He was shocked to his core. He had all but forgotten about the cigarette between his fingers. In fact, he couldn’t care about anything other than what Kim told him.‘They’ve already removed the remains of your unborn baby in her belly.’It was late in autumn. The yellowed leaves outside the window were already falling. On the other side of the window, a stunning man dressed in a white shirt fell into a daze for a long time. It seemed as if he was having a hard time processing the information!Kim also felt awful on the inside. She said with a choked-up voice, “Ms. Gwynn is resting in the hospital as we speak. She’s weak. Are you going to stay with Ms. Gianna or Ms. Gwynn, Mr. Noah?”Before she had even gotten to the end of her
Gwynn withdrew her hand. She wasn’t in the mood to let him explain. In fact, she didn’t want him to stay by his side. Tears rolled off the corner of her eyes. She murmured, “I don’t want to see you.”Pulling the blanket over her head, she cried out of anguish. Noah would certainly feel the loss of his stillborn baby girl. He might be heartbroken for the next several days. However, it would all fade into the back of his mind once enough time passed. The same couldn’t be said for Gwynn, though. After all, the baby was a part of her. Once she miscarried her own baby, it felt as if she had lost a part of herself. Nothing could make her forget this pain for the rest of her life. …Noah stayed by her side for the entire night. The next day, he had to return to the villa because he had an important business meeting. The blood in the fitting room was already cleaned up without a trace. However, he could still smell the lingering smell of it in the air. Opening the wardrobe, he
After a brief moment, he said softly, “I’m staying here with you. I’m not going anywhere!”She smiled ever so faintly. However, she didn’t expose his crappy lies. Instead, she went along with him and watched coldly as he tried and failed to act like a loyal husband and a good father.She was no longer moved by his words. She knew better than anyone that his promise was akin to Cinderella’s pair of glass slippers. Once the clock struck twelve, the magic would be lost and he would be returned to his former, hideous self. Noah stayed with her the entire day. He even turned off his phone. Then, Lorian finally couldn’t stand it when evening rolled on. His head kept drooping in exhaustion, but he stubbornly refused to fall asleep.Carrying his son up, he said tenderly, “I’m taking him home so he can get some sleep. We’ll be here again first thing in the morning.”She merely stared at him quietly. He had turned off his phone for the entire day. That meant he was going to visit Gia
Gladys was startled. “Where are you going at a time like this, Ms. Gwynn?”Lowering her head, her eyebrows trembled slightly.After a brief moment, she smiled faintly. “It’s all going to be over soon. I’m about to win back my freedom.”The old servant couldn’t get what she was trying to say. However, it was clear that her mistress had a plan. Just look at what Gwynn had done to Gianna. Her mistress had the homewrecker’s foot amputated and her uterus surgically removed. That was something that took guts! It was an understatement to say that she was deeply impressed by her mistress. After all, Gwynn couldn’t even bring herself to kill a cockroach in the past.Gladys proceeded to relay her orders to the chauffeur. Then, she helped her mistress to put on a fresh set of clothes. Once they were done, she wrapped a deep-colored cashmere scarf around Gwynn’s neck. She said in a heartbroken tone, “Let me go with you, Ms. Gwynn! I can’t help but get worried about you.”Gwynn held the ol
Noah grabbed her hand swiftly, but she shook it off. Then, she walked out of the room without a moment’s hesitation. She didn’t shed a tear for him, either. After all, an unfaithful man didn’t deserve her tears.Just like that, she left him.Walking in the hallway, she felt nothing but cold. Reaching out, she tugged at her coat. Then, he heard his heart-wrenching scream from behind her. “Gwynn!”Turning around, she looked at him in the eyes and murmured, “Don’t come over here!“Stay where you are, Noah!“Are you still going to say that we could live happily ever after? Do you think it’s possible, Noah? Can you find a lady who doesn’t care about this?“It’s only possible if the lady in question doesn’t love you at all and only seeks your wealth and your skills in bed that you’re so damn proud of. “However, I can’t do it! I just can’t, Noah! I was counting on sharing the rest of my life with you when I first became your girlfriend and eventually married you.“It’s fine that
Noah didn’t say anything. He merely stared at her. It seemed that she had been wanting to tell him all of this a long time ago!He’d even go out on a limb and say that she had made up her mind to divorce him and leave him behind a long time ago as well! She had never once thought that he’d remain loyal to her, nor did she entertain the thought of living out the rest of her life with him.After a brief moment, Gwynn repeated herself softly, “I want Lorian!”He held her shoulders, but he didn’t respond to her. The fact was, he also knew this was the end of the road for them. Judging by the way she talked to him, there wasn’t even a lingering sense of love or affection in there. She wasn’t even angry or jealous. He couldn’t even imagine how her love for him had been wiped away so thoroughly, in the first place. She said she didn’t love him anymore and that was it. She said that she wanted a divorce and she went for it.Both of them merely stared at each other and remained
Noah was about to say something when he choked up.He wasn’t able to find his voice until after a long time, but his voice was extremely hoarse. “You can leave after the snow stops falling. Think of it as a chance for you to recover from the miscarriage. Don’t worry. I’ll be gone first thing in the morning.“We’ll have to fly back to Silvercrest to get the divorce since we got our marriage cert there.“Take Lorian with you!“Take Holly too. Look after her and make sure she grows up happily.”…He didn’t really understand what he was feeling right now. He was aware that he made this decision in a rush, but he knew he wouldn’t be able to let her go if he gave it too much thought. Gwynn wanted to be free, after all. She no longer wanted to stay by his side!He hugged her for one last time. It was a different hug from before. There was no lust in it. Instead, he was merely hugging her because this was the last time he could hug his own wife. They would stop being husband and w
Gladys said mockingly, “She’s your sweetheart!”Then, she stopped speaking. Rising, she took the tray of fresh fruits and vegetables with dip and stormed out of the room. She wouldn’t have given him any of it if she had known this was how his answer. What an ungrateful man. With that said, she still had to do her job and pack up his suitcase. She walked as softly as she could when she went into the bedroom, trying not to wake up her mistress. However, Gwynn was wide awake.Scratching her head, she stuttered, “Mr. Noah asked me to clean up the fitting room.”Gwynn smiled dryly, “I think you mean pack up his suitcase!”The old servant’s eyes turned red immediately. Wiping her tears, she couldn’t help but choke up. “You were doing so much better and seemed happier than before. I really thought you were finally seeing a rainbow at the end of the storm! Alas. It still ended in this messy way.”Gwynn didn’t bother explaining everything to her. She merely asked the old servant to
