Noah intended to make her happy. Pondering on it a little, he added, “There’s going to be a party for high society folk and celebrities soon. Come along with me and I’ll introduce a few people to you. They’re going to be helpful for your business.”He didn’t want Gwynn to spend too much time with the other homemakers. It would just be a waste of time. He’d much prefer her to spend more time at home, keeping him and the kids company.She merely smiled faintly in response. …There was indeed a huge party for high society folk and celebrities held at the Imperial Hotel on New Year’s Eve. This was the first time Noah brought his wife along for business purposes. He proceeded to introduce some extremely powerful people who could help her with the gallery. Then, they chatted for a while before he asked her to put some food in her belly. It was time for him to deal with some other pressing matters now.She obeyed and went away.With glasses of wine in their hands, the elite busines
Even if Ewan was the kind of guy who stayed out of trouble, he wouldn’t have been able to stop himself from feeling captivated by her beauty. He couldn’t help but say, “I have a play at Brookesville Theatre this weekend. I have a VIP ticket with me. Would you like to watch it?”His face was full of admiration and adoration for her. The fact was that he had heard a lot of stories about her. The rumors painted her as a lady who was merely interested in superficial stuff such as wealth and fame. He didn’t doubt what he heard until today. He could sense that there was something different about her. She was tender. There was also a touch of somberness about her. Pondering his invitation a little, she said, “My son’s home tutor loves you, Ewan. I’d like to give her the ticket you’re offering me. Is that fine by you?”He was overjoyed. He had never expected her to accept his invitation. So, he handed her his business card. “Can we exchange business cards? I’ll let my assistant p
Gwynn thanked him softly. Noah snorted. “We’re husband and wife. Do you really have to thank me for something so trivial? Anyway, you seem to be chatting quite happily with Ewan. Take my advice. Don’t get too close with people in the entertainment industry!”The car wobbled slightly. Her expression grew slightly duller. “We just ran into each other and chatted a little! I’m not about to become friends or anything with him.”He stared at her for several seconds before he looked ahead again. He was a little displeased. After all, he saw Ewan kissing the back of her hand. She might not have seemed happy about it, but she didn’t exactly throw a fit. The sight of it reminded him of some memories that soured his heart. Ewan was also a Silvercrestian. What a coincidence!He decided to suppress his displeasure.They went back to the villa. He was getting a change of clothes when she received a call from Ewan. Before she could say anything, he snatched away her phone and hurled it o
Noah might’ve said something nasty, but he stopped humping her altogether. He looked at her in a daze. Gwynn was lying beneath him, her brows were as delicate as the finest paintings in the world and there were some tears in her eyes. After a brief moment, he rolled over and sat on the couch. Reaching out, he pulled her up and held her in his arms. He was so fierce and virile a second ago that it was hard to believe how tender and soft he was now. Staring at her, he pulled a ring box out of his long pants. Then, he opened it, revealing the pink diamond ring. The sight of it stunned her a little. Holding her fingers, he slipped the ring onto her finger gently, the lavishing ring caught and reflected the ceiling light brilliantly. He stared at her and said in a husky voice, “I managed to get it back a couple of days ago! I wanted to give you a surprise. Little did I know that I was the one who got surprised instead! Promise me, Gwynn. Cut ties with Ewan.”Lowering her head
At first, Noah didn’t say anything. Lying on the bed quietly, he removed his hand from his eyes, sat up, and leaned on the headboard. Then, he pulled out a cigarette and lit it.Wisps of smoke rose in the air. Giving her a sidelong glance, he said leisurely, “Kim must’ve blabbed! If she told you about what I did, then why didn’t she tell you the reason I decided to move in on this insignificant actor?”She didn’t say anything to him. Silence hung over the wide bedroom. After a long time, he snorted. “Ewan is a Silvercrestian and he has a girlfriend. Her name is Eluned Herman. Does her surname ring a bell, Gwynn?”Her face turned so pale that it was devoid of color.Flicking the cigarette, he added mockingly, “Eluned is Maddox’s cousin! I’m sure the Hermans made up some nasty stories about you. “Ewan is her boyfriend, but he actually took an interest in you, against all odds, and tried to win your heart. Isn’t it only natural that I’ve to deal with him and make him give up o
Things between them hit a low point. Noah even opted to stay in a hotel for the entire week, instead of going back home. He didn’t call Gwynn, nor did she contact him. As time went by, he started going to more and more business meetings. Then, the ladies started seducing him. There were ladies from the business collaborations and young ladies whom he ran into at the club. There were even some celebrities. Wave after wave of ladies threw themselves at him. Some of them did it because they were charmed by his looks while the others were after his money. With that said, he merely flirted with them. Never did he sleep with them. After all, he intended to stay loyal to Gwynn. So, he could never lay a finger on any of them. Time passed, but Gwynn didn’t show any signs of yielding. She threw herself into looking after the villa and her kids. Aside from that, she’d get in touch with Mary, Toby’s wife, and discussed her gallery’s opening. Noah sat on a couch in his office on the t
Leaning over, Noah snuffed out the cigarette.The moment he reached out, she could subtly see his ripped body and the diamond watch hidden beneath his sleeves. His wild charm blended flawlessly with his elegant getup, giving him a unique, masculine charm. Then, he said dryly, “He didn’t offend me! Instead, he offended my wife!“Her name’s Gwynn.“I believe you’ve heard of her, Eluned!”…Now that he put all the cards on the table, Eluned couldn’t maintain her composure anymore. She said angrily, “Maddox and Hailey were dead because of her! So, what if we Hermans hate her?”Rising, he walked over to her and towered over her. Eluned couldn’t help but take a step back. He didn’t stop until he was standing right before her. Staring at her condescendingly, he said coldly, “If anyone’s responsible for Maddox’s death, it’d be me! “I’m the one who arranged for him to get married to Hailey. I’m the one who ruined his hands. Maddox was the one who acted foolishly here. He was a mar
The elevator door slid open.Noah pulled out his room card key. He was about to open the door when he was suddenly frozen to the spot.Gianna was crouching at his door. She looked downright miserable. Her long, wavy black hair was wet from the rain and her coat was completely drenched. Her prosthetic foot were discarded to the side.Half of her dress wasn’t covering anything. It felt as if someone reached into his chest and clutched his heart. Walking over slowly, he towered over her and glanced at her. His voice was warm and gentle. “Why are you back here? Didn’t we agree that you’d stay in Birkenfeld permanently?”Raising her head, she looked at him and said pitifully in a husky voice, “It’s about to be the New Year! It’s lonely over there. The servants are mean to me. They’re always pretending that they couldn’t hear me. I think they’re ignoring me on purpose.“Please, Noah. Can you let me come back to Brookesville? I promise I won’t come between you and your family. I ju
