I Refuse to Divorce! Chapter 866
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

Anderson cast a glance at Talia. “Got it.”After he left, Archibald served Talia strips of bacon and said warmly, “Anderson is so preoccupied with work. He’s going to need you to hold the fort down here! He’s young. So, he needs to focus on building his own empire now.”She fought back tears and responded softly, “I understand what he’s going through.”The old man was incredibly grateful for her. However, she alone knew that things would never be the same for her and Anderson. It was obvious that he merely used his drunkenness as a crutch to confess to her his real feelings. From here on out, he couldn’t be bothered to play a loving husband to her anymore. Their marriage was teetering on the brink of collapse!She couldn’t bear the thought of it. She’d do everything she could to win his heart. …Anderson was beyond drained by his work today. Evening rolled on and Archibald himself called him. The old man wanted him back home to have dinner with his wife and kids. He agre

Noah stood up when Gwynn walked into the restaurant. They might have just met each other earlier, but it was different this time. They used to promise to meet each other here four years ago. Their reunion wouldn’t be complete until after they had dinner here.She was holding Lorian’s hand while Holly sat next to her. Be that as it may, all they ever saw was each other, their hearts brimming with regret from the fact that they weren't able to meet each other four years ago. After a long time, he said softly, “It’s been a long time!” His voice involuntarily broke as he spoke.Her lips also trembled a little. He didn’t say anything after that. Instead, he crouched and held his son gently. Rubbing Lorian’s head, he said affectionately, “Look at you, Lorian. You’re a big boy now! Do you miss Daddy?”The little boy was seven years old now. He was tall and lean. His eyebrows were nothing short of spectacular.Leaning on his father, he said truthfully, “I did!”Pinching his son’s

Gwynn took a sip of the wine. She decided to hide her real feelings. “Not at all. Her style just doesn’t fit the direction I want my gallery to go.”Noah thought he wouldn’t press any further. Leaning back on the chair, he took his time with the wine. Moments later, he pushed a bowl of dessert to her side of the table and stared at her intensely, “Have some dessert.”He was so tender and devilishly handsome. No lady could’ve resisted his casual charm, let alone when he fully intended to seduce her!Gwynn wasn’t that dense. Lowering her gaze, she thought about it. Her voice was soft, but she was very serious. “I’ll admit that I used to have feelings for you four years ago, Noah. I did think about patching things up with you and starting things over between us. “With that said, the feelings I had paled in comparison with our ugly past. What’s more, we were separated for four long years.”Then, she rejected him softly. “Can we please just let go of the past?”His eyes grew da

Gwynn didn’t move at all. They merely stared at each other underneath the neon lights. It felt as if she was staring at a dream. It was the kind of dream she used to fantasize about when she was young. The sight brought tears to her eyes. She almost lost control of her emotions and had a meltdown when she walked over to him. The tips of their toes were but a few inches apart from each other.They were standing very close to each other. There was nothing but love and affection in his eyes when he stared at them. He spoke as if he was soothing a younger lady. “You’re just the same as when you were a little over twenty years old. Such a crybaby.”Raising her head, she glanced at him. Love and hatred blended in her eyes. He repeated himself, “It’s time to go home, Gwynn!”He wasn’t talking about his villa. No, he was referring to her apartment. From here on out, his home was wherever she was. Perhaps she wasn’t his wife.However, he belonged to her, physically and spiritual

Yanni and Keaton exchanged a smile.…In early autumn, Carol started school again. On the day of enrollment, Jamie and Paityn took her to kindergarten together. After getting out of the car, Carol carried her little backpack and skipped happily into the kindergarten. The teacher, who was very fond of her, held her tiny hand affectionately.Once they lost sight of Carol, the two got back into the car. Paityn fastened her seatbelt and said naturally, "Take me to the office. I have a meeting this morning."Jamie gripped the steering wheel, but he couldn’t resist saying, "It’s been a while since we’ve done that, Paityn. Don’t you want to?"Paityn turned to look at him. After a moment, she agreed, even though she could only spare two hours at most. Hearing this, Jamie’s whole body felt a rush of excitement. He leaned in to kiss her, and his voice was warm and eager. “Two hours isn’t enough. I’ve been holding back for too long.”Paityn wrapped her arms around his neck, and her voic

Paityn woke up in the hotel suite. The sound of rushing water could be heard from the bathroom.Jamie was taking a shower. She turned her head to look and saw the shadow of a giant man projected on the frosted glass. Its form was enough to make any woman’s heart race with desire.Paityn couldn't help but recall last night how she had tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Her face flushed with heat as the memories resurfaced. She felt as if she had been too indulgent. Jamie tried every imaginable position they hadn't done in the past, and Paityn couldn't resist going along with it. …The sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Jamie wrapped a towel around himself and strode out boldly. His dark and damp hair glistened with droplets. His handsome face carried a noticeable hint of lust from the entire night of indulgence.Jamie walked over and dried his hair. Then, he sat down at the edge of the bed and gently caressed Paityn's face. His voice was soft. "Why don't you sleep a little

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
