I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 862
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

After a brief moment, Gwynn came back to her senses.She called her assistant over and asked her to entertain the customers while she took Anderson to her personal office. They were family, but things were a little awkward between them. She made him some tea and said, “Do you still like Fortnum & Mason?”He sat on the single couch and swept his eyes across the room. Gwynn’s doodles and sketches were everywhere. Her faint perfume odor was lingering in the air too. Now, however, he could never address her as his aunt. He stared at her while her back was turned to him and said in a husky voice, “Grandpa didn’t mean to set you up with Grayson for real. He was just testing me to see if I still had any lingering feelings.”Gwynn paused briefly before she continued making tea. Her back was still turned to him when she said, “I should’ve felt happy for you, now that Mr. Archibald entrusted you with important tasks. However, it was embarrassing how I got dragged back into the mess.

It was Noah…At that moment, Gwynn would rather talk to him than Anderson. So, she said to the latter courteously, “I believe you can tell that I’m busy, Anderson!”He didn’t force her to stay. He wore a cold expression when he rose. “I guess I’ll get out of your way and let you reconcile with Noah, then.”He bumped into Noah on his way out.The latter was dressed sharply and looked downright mature and stunning. It was the look that Anderson had come to hate. He said coldly, “What a coincidence, Noah!”Noah peered at Gwynn, who was sitting in her office, before turning his gaze to Anderson. A trace of sharp hostility flashed across his eyes. Then, he adopted the same sarcasm Anderson had exhibited. “Look what the cat dragged in! What are you doing here? Meeting up with your Aunt Gwynn instead of cooking up some schemes in a dark room today?”Anderson’s tone grew colder. “Mind your own business!”Then, he left in a hurry.Their shoulders rammed into each other as they walke

Noah stared at her with unblinking eyes. He thought he saw her getting bothered by his gesture. She was even a little bit jealous.Obviously, he still had a place in her heart.Gwynn fixed her gaze on the check. He was willing to spend this kind of money on Rosie. The fact was that he used to show Gwynn the same affection when they were in a relationship all those years ago. Back then, he did everything she wanted and cared about what she loved. It was just a simple matter of him showing the same affection to another young lady after all these years.She was disheartened by it. However, she told herself that she shouldn’t be upset for too long. Raising her eyes, she rejected him softly, “I’m sorry, Noah. This isn’t the Silvercrest Art College, and I’m certainly no college professor. I don’t think I have the knowledge to be mentoring her!”He stared at her intensely. “Are you mad?”She lowered her gaze in response. “Why should I be?! It’s your freedom to show affection and sp

Anderson lit a cigarette and smoked it. Wisps of light green smoke lingered on his refined, fair cheeks. After a brief moment, he said gently, “Get Rylan on the phone now! Tell him I’m buying him dinner at the club we met at last time! Also, bring a case of the Franconian red wine with us.”Charlie nodded. “Roger, Mr. Anderson.”The night rolled on. Anderson threw up on the busy streets of Brookesville. Charlie was standing beside him and soothing him. “You can’t drink like this in the future, Mr. Anderson. Mr. Archibald is going to question you if he finds out about this!”Holding the handrail, he barked, “He doesn’t have to know about this!”Standing upright, he staggered toward his car and got into it. He still hadn’t secured the land development project, but he didn’t want to use his family’s connections. He knew, deep down, that Noah was behind this disaster. He’d be admitting that he was an incompetent piece of trash if he sought help from his family!The last thing he

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
