I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 794
It was the middle of the night. Gwynn hadn’t slept a wink.When she eventually dozed off, she dreamt about the moment when her mother jumped off the building. The wind was howling, tousling the hem of her mother’s skirt. Her mother screamed at the top of her lungs, “I didn’t do anything wrong, Declan Worshem. You planned the whole thing and set me up.”“Mommy…”Gwynn, who was just a little girl back then, held her favorite doll tight as she called out to her mom softly. She didn’t dare get any closer. She was afraid that her mom would really jump if she took one more step. If that happened, she’d be motherless. In the end, Gwynn’s mother turned around. She looked at her little girl one last time and said softly, “Liam’s going to raise you! May the Heavens watch over you, Gwynn!”The wind was very strong that day. Her mom’s hair ribbon was picked up by the wind and carried far away by the time her blood splattered on the ground. “Mom!”She jolted awake from the nightmare.

Gwynn ignored Noah altogether. She called for the nurse and asked her to hook up another IV drip for Lorian. At that moment, Kim came over with breakfast. She knew Gwynn resented Noah. So, she said, “I paid for the breakfast. Technically, I’m the one who bought the porridge for him. Let’s not let Lorian rest on an empty stomach.”Gwynn was no longer the young, impulsive lady anymore. So, she didn’t turn down Kim’s offer. On the other hand, Kim had a couple of kids herself. Naturally, she knew how to deal with a kid. She poured the porridge out into a bowl and played a little with Lorian. The little boy had such a good time with her that he had forgotten about what happened earlier. He said gleefully, “I’m hungry, Kim.”“Alright. I’m going to feed you some porridge. We’ll let Mom and Dad have a word outside.” Kim said. Lorian was already an obedient kid. Moreover, he loved Kim quite much. So, he was more than willing to let her feed him porridge. Meanwhile, Noah and Gwynn

Gwynn stood in the ward and blinked softly.She wasn’t a fool. She had a good idea why Archibald lost his composure. Was it because she and Anderson looked alike? Or, was it because she brought up some old memories in him?“Mommy! Mommy!” Lorian pulled at her sleeves gently.Gwynn came back to her senses, bent down, and carried him in her arms. “Come on. Let’s go outside and get you out in the sun.”Then, she flashed Anderson an apologetic smile. The young man patted Lorian’s head. He was graceful and affectionate. “I’ll see you again.”The little boy knew how to act cute with him. He rubbed his face on Anderson’s palm. Later, Anderson caught up to his grandfather at the central courtyard on the ground floor. “Grandpa.”Archibald loved his grandson very much. A fortune teller proclaimed Anderson to be extremely wealthy, but she also said his grandson would be haunted by a terrible condition. So, he made a point to give Anderson a name as close to his as possible. He was h

Archibald brushed his hand across the yellowed newspaper. Tears began to well up in his eyes. Did he conceive this little nugget on that preposterous night? Was she the fruit of his mistake?It took all of one second for him to make that grave mistake.He reflected on his past life and thought about his future and reputation that evening. He fully understood that the entire Templeton family would be thrown into a state of disarray if he reconciled with his estranged daughter.…The last traces of evening light were consumed by the impending darkness. Marisol came to the gazebo with a cup of tea and turned on the stained glass pendant light. “It’s dark in here, Dad. Why didn’t you turn on the light?”The light came on. Archibald was still drowning in the past. After a brief moment, he said in a hoarse voice, “It’s you, Marisol! Where’s Saul?”“He’s gone back to the government office.”Putting down the new cup of tea, she took away the old one. That was when she noticed th

Marisol’s hair cascaded on the soft pillow. Snuggling up to her husband’s shoulder, she said softly, “You’re absolutely right. Dad might not have said anything out loud, but I could tell he wanted to reconcile with her. He’s just concerned that we might not be too happy about it.”Anders smiled, “What’s there to not be happy about? We would’ve lost Anderson if it wasn’t for Gwynn.”She hugged her husband tightly in response. She loved him with all of her heart. What was more, she also loved everyone in her family. She was more than willing to support Archibald for a change. …Two days later, Gwynn was taking stock of her paintings in her office.She said to her assistant, “We have a problem. Our paintings are selling out too quickly. Here. Give a call to the artists and painters on this list. Ask them if they have more paintings in their hands. Don’t push them if they don’t have any. After all, it takes time to create art.”Her assistant nodded and went out of her office.

Gwynn wanted to ignore him, but she also knew that he would never let her go unless she gave him something. She said nonchalantly, “Marisol bought several more paintings. It’s only normal that I have a cup of coffee with her. Do you expect me to get your approval for something like that, Noah?”He didn’t press any further. Then, he changed the topic and said, “I’m going to hang out with Lorian.”She didn’t stop him. “Lorian has just recovered. Don’t play with him too roughly. He might catch a cold if he sweats too much.”He nodded in response.Both of them walked out of the coffee shop together, looking as stunning as they could be. A lot of people stole glances at them and were insanely envious of them. None of them expected it when Noah and Gwynn walked their separate ways as soon as they were out the door. He went over to the penthouse and kept his son company late into the night. Eventually, Lorian fell asleep, but Gwynn still hadn’t come back.Clearly, she was avoiding

Gladys came back to her senses and said, “She’s looking after her kid. Let me get her now.”Archibald nodded in response.It just so happened that Lorian wanted to drink milk at that moment. So, Gwynn carried him out to the living room. The moment she saw the old man, she lost her composure. The milk bottle fell from her hand and onto the floor, rolling a few inches away before it stopped. Walking over, he bent down and picked it up. “I’m going to have to wash it before the boy could drink the milk.”Gwynn was still stunned, but Gladys had regained her senses. She stammered, “I-I can’t possibly ask you to do it. I’ll take it, Mr. Archibald. I’ll wash it.”However, he had already found his way to the kitchen. He washed the milk bottle and said, “I used to wash Anderson’s when he was young. The little boy’s name is Lorian, I believe. Why, I can’t possibly play favorites, considering that I’m his grandpa!”Gladys felt as if a thunderclap had struck her. She was shocked to the cor

Gwynn went back up to her penthouse. Gladys was gripped with such excitement that she could barely hold her questions back. “How is it that Mr. Archibald is your father, Ms. Gwynn? Geez. He’s one of the most prestigious figures in Brookesville!”Then, she carried Lorian in her arms and kissed him.She continued, “Now that Lorian has such a powerful grandpa, no one’s going to pick on you guys anymore! Anyone who dares bully him is going to get it. We’ll ask Mr. Archibald to skin that person alive!”The old servant was thrilled. Then, something occurred to her and she grumbled jokingly, “Mr. Archibald came here just to look for you, Ms. Gwynn! You didn’t even give him a glass of water. You have to do better next time he comes.”Gwynn sat on her chair. She was a little out of it. It had been so long, but she was still trying to process everything.Gladys proceeded to play with Lorian gleefully.…A week later, the Templetons called and invited her over for a meal. They also wan

Originally, Lorian and Tegan were going to return to their own place. Due to Ocelotte's situation, they ended up going back to Sanders Residence together.Lorian parked the car and turned to Tegan, speaking gently: "Later, you should talk to Ocelotte. This kid has grown up and never had another girlfriend. He must have been hurt."Tegan softly responded, "Okay."She thought for a moment and murmured, "It seems like Ocelotte hasn't forgotten her."Lorian placed both hands on the steering wheel, his long fingers lightly brushing it. Then, he smiled. "Even so, he won't admit it. Let them handle it themselves. Ocelotte isn't a child anymore."With that, the couple got out of the car.Ocelotte had already gotten out of the car earlier. Lola was now over a year old, and she wobbled her way over. He bent down and picked up his little niece. Lola kissed Ocelotte's cheek affectionately. Then, she wrapped her arms around his neck, looking utterly adored.Lorian and Tegan walked over, an

Late at night, the city’s neon lights began to fade.A luxurious black limousine slowly stopped at the entrance of the club. The car door opened, and a group of people stepped out. There was an extremely beautiful young girl who was surrounded by people in the center. She wore a pure white little dress, and her slender legs glowed white in the light.Ocelotte remembered that he had once held those slender legs as they fucked through the night. He was in the prime of his youth, and they did it for the entire night. Molly!Ocelotte looked at his past lover coldly. No, she should be called a love scammer. She had gotten what she wanted; she had become a famous actress. Meanwhile, Ocelotte no longer believed in love because of Molly's desire for a million dollars. Now, he was disgusted when he saw her pure appearance.…Ocelotte’s gaze was too blatant, which displeased the staff. “Could you please stop taking photos, mister?”Molly's female assistant, Paisley Perez, stepped for

Paityn threw everything aside and fully enjoyed everything Jamie gave her.The sky began to drizzle lightly.Jamie carried her into the car. Through the fogged-up car windows, the faces of the man and the woman became blurred.The diamond ring, resting delicately on Paityn’s neck, swayed gently.…Back in the private room of a top-tier luxurious club, Denny was almost in tears. He clung to Lorian’s arm, pleading, “I beg you, Lorian! Please tell Jamie I didn’t mean it! I don’t have the guts to offend Paityn, I was only trying to help him.”Lorian shoved him away, sneering, “You’re lucky he didn’t kill you today. Go back and clean up your mess at the company, don’t say I didn’t warn you. If I offend Jamie, I’d be in deep trouble, let alone you!“I can’t help you, and I don’t want to, Denny. Have you forgotten that Paityn is my sister-in-law? Consider yourself lucky that I didn't work with Jamie to kill you. Now, get the hell out of here.”…After Denny left, the private room rem

Outside, Jamie still had a temper. He pressed Paityn against the wall and kissed her fiercely in a secluded corner of the club. He took possession of her lips again and again, savoring the rare moment of her compliance.Finally, Jamie ended the kiss after a long while. However, he didn’t pull away. Instead, he kept his forehead against hers. His voice was rough and hoarse. “Why didn’t you resist? Don’t you hate me?”Although Jamie was laced with passion, Paityn, who had spent years with him, understood him. She knew that he cared.Last time, Jamie had blurted out, asking if something had happened between her and Monty. She hadn’t denied it in her anger, but today was different. Today, someone had mocked him publicly.Paityn rested her hand on Jamie’s arm, and spoke softly, “I’ve never slept with anyone else.”…A single sentence for Jamie was like the purest, most elegant music. Suddenly, he pulled Paityn tightly into his arms. He lowered his head to gaze at her delicate face.

Paityn snapped back to reality. She continued washing her hands, and her voice was soft. “I didn’t think about it! You keep bringing up his age, which means you must care quite a bit. Are you feeling powerless now? Has it come to the point of buying time with money?” Jamie continued to smoke his cigarette slowly. It was truly impossible to change Paityn. He couldn’t understand how Humprehy could tolerate her. Was she not so fierce in front of others? Just thinking about it made Jamie feel extremely uncomfortable. In Jamie's mind, he and Paityn had a child together. A man’s inherent nature is often filled with possessiveness towards women. No matter how many times she married—ten or eight times—he always felt that Paityn was still his woman. They were the original couple. The lighting was soft and alluring, with only the sound of flowing water filling the air. Jamie was captivated by her figure. Paityn wore a black form-fitting long dress with a front slit and six exquisite go

Only two or three guests had arrived in the lavish private room, and Jamie was one of them. Tegan was busy, while Lorian doted on Tegan and stayed close by, making sure she wouldn’t tire out even a little. The three men who arrived first were playing cards. Just as Paityn walked in, one of them looked up and casually said, "We need one more player, Paityn. You're just in time to fill the spot." Jamie laid his cards down, and the man quickly corrected himself: "I mean… Ms. Paityn." Another person nudged his arm and winked at Jamie, saying, "She's Jamie's wife." Jamie remained quite reserved, giving a light snort in response: "Grow up." At that moment, Lorian approached with a mug and handed it to Paityn. He chuckled as he said, "Don’t say nonsense; Paityn has a boyfriend, who was a 26-year-old young man." Paityn knew he was being playful and didn’t deny it; she wouldn’t be that timid. She took the cup and thanked him. On the other hand, Jamie looked up at Lorian with an am

After Paityn finished her shower, she dried her wet hair and walked out to the terrace to relax. The night breeze brushed against her face, and she felt very comfortable. To be fair, Carol spent most of the time with the Lockwood family, which made things much easier for her. She often had free time to enjoy tea with Tegan or go shopping. In this regard, Jamie did quite well. However, that was all there was. After the incident with Yara, Paityn thought it over and made the decision to draw a clear line with Jamie. They had different mindsets, and being together would not bring happiness. This time, Paityn had no resentment about the separation; she also wanted to move forward. After two or three months, they indeed no longer had any ambiguity, which she felt was great. Today, Tegan and Lorian introduced Paityn to a young man who was even younger than her at just 26 years old. He was a talented designer with a gentle and kind personality, and he was very attentive and sweet. P

Yara managed to hold back her emotions and took her handbag to say goodbye to Mason and Zoe. Then, she waved at Carol, who generously packed a little of her favorite cookies for Yara.“Thank you,” Yara said softly, holding the bag of cookies.Carol lowered her head and quickly dug into her meal. “Mommy said I need to eat to grow tall and strong. I want to be tall to protect Mommy.”…Yara walked out of the Lockwood Manor. The lawn was lush and green, with a few adorable fireflies flickering about, creating a charming scene. In the distance, tall trees loomed, casting deep shadows. Under the faint moonlight, Jamie stood there smoking. He was in his 30s and at the prime of his life. He was handsome and sharp like a finely honed blade.Yara had imagined many scenarios with him, but she finally realized it was all one-sided. Jamie found her annoying, and so did the Lockwood family. However, they hadn’t been straightforward about it out of courtesy.Yara had her own pride, and now t

Jamie was stunned for quite some time. He couldn’t understand why Paityn would go on a blind date. Didn’t she love him? Why would she seek someone else before things were clear between them?Just as Jamie was about to ask, Jennifer sighed and said, “Paityn said she wants to start a new life. She doesn’t want to feel heartbroken anymore, and she doesn’t want to hang on to the past. She said she wants to take a page out of your book.”Jamie felt a surge of anger. He rubbed his nose defensively, insisting, “Don’t listen to her nonsense, Jennifer. I’m not fooling around with anyone outside.”Jennifer usually had a good impression of Jamie, but what mother wouldn’t side with her daughter? She let out another sigh, “So, you’ve really messed up.”Jamie fell silent. As he settled into the back of the black Cullinan, Carol was busy playing with her blocks in the backseat. The sweet little girl was happily playing by herself. She spoke softly without looking up, “Daddy is angry again.”Jami
