I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 858
The room was filled with the sweet odor of tea, but Archibald could taste nothing but bitterness. Glancing at his beloved daughter, who had been gone for four long years, he asked in a deep voice, “You’ve been back for a few days now. Why didn’t you come home with Lorian?”Gwynn looked at Saul. Saul took the hint and rose, walking far away to check on some books. Averting her eyes, she responded softly, “It isn’t appropriate.”He suppressed his feelings and said, “How is it inappropriate? Anderson is married with kids. That incident is already a thing of the past. No one’s going to bring it up again… “I know you’re mad at me, Gwynn, but I did it for a reason! Come home and stay in the family villa. I’m old now. I want my family to stay with me.”She took her time and drank half of her cup. Shaking her head gently, she said, “I’ll pass. Anderson has got a good life going now. Isn’t this what everyone wanted? Why should I go back and disrupt his otherwise perfect life? Further

Archibald walked over slowly and said, “This is Templeton family business. There’s no need for you to intervene, Noah.”Noah stood in front of Gwynn and stared straight into the old man’s eyes. This time, he actually didn’t let Archibald stare him down. He said, “She’s a Worshem, not a Templeton! Also, as far as I’m concerned, she’s still part of my family. “We might not be married anymore, but she’s still the mother of my children. That makes her my family. This is something that no one could ever change!”…Archibald sneered, “It looks like you’re dead set on poking your nose into my family’s affairs!”Noah sneered right back at him. Then, he forcibly took her away.The Sargents saw that the dinner didn’t go the way it should and got the heck out of there swiftly. An eerie silence hung over the private room. The old man wore a grim and blood-chilling expression. Staring at Anderson, he said coldly, “You actually still have feelings for her! Have you forgotten the fact that

Half an hour later, the car pulled into Noah’s villa.This was the house they used to live in. Now that she was back here again, she was flooded by all sorts of emotions. The door to the backseat had just opened for a second when a young girl came running over. “Daddy!”Holly held Noah’s legs and began to act cute with him. He picked her up and carried her on one arm. Then, he took her into the car and put her down on his lap. His chauffeur was smart and got out of the car unprompted. The car’s insides were dimly lit. So, the little girl leaned on her dad’s chest and stared at Gwynn gingerly. She recognized her mommy, but they had been apart for four years. She couldn’t help but feel a little scared and shy, much less call the lady before her ‘mommy.’Gwynn felt the same way too. She felt like a soldier who came home after spending years fighting a war. Patting his daughter’s head, he looked at Gwynn. “Aren’t you going to hold her?”Her voice was trembling when she resp
I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 861
Gwynn simply couldn’t kiss her little girl enough. The coffee machine made a soft whir.Noah stood to the side and leaned on the wall. He was tall, and he had taken off his suit jacket, the snug vest revealing his firm and ripped body. On top of that, he had broad shoulders and a shapely waist. It was just as Gladys said, a lot of ladies would want to flirt with him.He fiddled with his cup and said absentmindedly, “You’ve got to help her with her homework.”Holly pouted and looked a little unhappy. Gwynn was brimming with love for her daughter. “Do you hate doing your homework?”The little girl dived into her arms and said pitifully, “I don’t know how to do it.”Gwynn didn’t think too much about it. She flipped open Holly’s homework and checked it. That was when she was rooted to the spot. Holly had gotten everything wrong. She couldn’t even get simple math questions right. What was worse, she tried correcting them, but she still got it wrong. It wasn’t just math, eithe

Gwynn chuckled dryly. “You’re right. No one would’ve waited for that long. I’m not upset or anything, Noah, nor am I angry or envious. In fact, I should congratulate you for scoring someone so young and beautiful!”Underneath the crystal chandelier, he said with a blank face, “Why, thank you!”They were about to wrap up their day on a sour note. So, she thought she shouldn’t stay there any longer. This villa might’ve used to be her home, but he already found himself a new girlfriend. She shouldn’t overstay her welcome.He didn’t stop her, either. Holly was sitting at her work desk in the living room, working on her homework, while tears welled up in her eyes.Gwynn walked over, and she shot up from her chair. Gripping her mother’s sleeves, she sought comfort from her, dispirited, “I’m stupid.”Holly loved her mom and she wanted her to hang out with her more often. However, she was worried that her mom would dislike her because she was just too stupid. Her face was filled with no

The traffic light turned red at the intersection ahead. Noah stopped the car and said dryly, “My future wife can look after Holly if I get married again. What’s the matter? Are you worried that someone might abuse her?”Then, he leaned over and looked at her. Gwynn merely remained quiet. Resting her cheeks on her seat, some strands of her hair fell on her arm. Actually, they fell on top of his shirt, but that didn’t stop the tingling and arousing sensation from reaching into his bones. He couldn’t help but lower his head to see if he had a boner.Twenty minutes later, he pulled his black Maybach up outside her apartment. He didn’t follow her upstairs. Instead, he asked her out on Sunday. She didn’t agree to it on the spot. His lips curved a little as he said, “Don’t worry about it. We’re just having a meal together as a family. I won’t bring anyone else this Sunday!” Then, he added, “I hope you’ll pay me the same respect too!”She responded by opening the car door and ge

It was midnight when Noah returned to his bedroom. Loosening his tie, he was about to take a shower when he raised his eyes and saw Holly in her cow-patterned pajamas. She was lying flat on the bed and her buttocks were wiggling like an adorable puppy.He took off his tie and sat on the side of the bed. She snuggled up to him, held one of his feet, and acted cute with him. However, she didn’t want to say anything. He sighed before he carried her and set her down on himself. She started to scrub his abs the way she’d laundry. After a while, her fair, perky face scrunched up. “I’m stupid,” she said.Holding her tight, he couldn’t help but feel disheartened. Then, he kissed her.Back when Holly was two years old, Gladys bought her some children’s books to teach her to recognize words and read the numbers. However, his little girl just couldn’t pick up anything. The old servant must’ve tried teaching her a hundred times, too.So, he took her for an IQ test. That was when he

Talia wasn’t usually this inquisitive. Anderson’s delicate eyes opened a crack. He looked at his wife and said coldly, “It’s none of your business!”They had been married for three years, but this was the first time he had treated her this way.She found it distasteful, but she still patiently put his clothes on for him. Then, she talked about his work. “Did you upset Grandpa because you made a blunder at work?”He didn’t respond to her.Back then, he did as he was told. He got married and had a couple of kids. He even retraced his grandpa’s steps in his career. It didn’t do any good for him, though… His grandpa still distrusted him and Gwynn.He was so flustered that he took the bathrobe and strode into the bathroom.Talia forced a smile in response. After a brief moment, she ran her hand across the spot where he sat, feeling the lingering warmth. Then, she sat on the couch with her hand still clutching the warmth. They had been married for three years. They might have seeme

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
