Evening rolled on. Gwynn went away to pick Lorian up after school.

She got him and was about to get in the car when she heard a familiar voice. “I need a minute with you, Ms. Gwynn.”

Turning her head sideways, she saw Saul, who was Archibald’s assistant.

He was dressed in a traditional outfit and looked all sophisticated. Standing next to him were a couple of men dressed in black. Obviously, they were Archibald’s bodyguards.

They greeted her too. “Hi, Ms. Gwynn.”

She knew they didn’t come in peace. Smiling dryly, she responded, “Greetings.”

Saul spoke respectfully and courteously. “You haven’t stepped foot into the Templeton villa ever since you returned to Brookesville. With that in mind, Mr. Archibald misses you very much! He’s plain out of options and requests your presence at his office.”

He might’ve used the word ‘request,’ but she knew clearly that she didn’t have a choice this time. She’d have to see the old man at his office. Otherwise, the bodyguards would’ve coerced h

    Archibald understood Gwynn’s subtexts. Sneering, he said, “If Anderson isn’t innocent and guilt-free, then I’ve got to be downright wicked and ruthless, as far as you’re concerned! I had no choice but to send you overseas four years ago. I used to think that you’d understand my decision.“Now, you’re finally back. You might not have stepped foot into the family villa, but Anderson and Talia’s marriage is all but broken. He never comes home either. Things have become so bad that Marisol fell ill because of it.”She asked, “Shouldn’t you be talking to Anderson, then?”He was about to respond to her when Phoebe came in with the tea. The assistant put down a cup of tea before Gwynn and said, “Enjoy your tea, Ms. Gwynn.”Gwynn merely nodded in response. She didn’t even take one sip of it.Archibald noticed this. Then, he gave himself a moment to suppress his emotions and proceeded to tell her the reason he wanted to meet with her. To be more accurate, he was declaring his decision to

    Noah and Gwynn walked out of the building. An orange hue blanketed over the entire city outside. The setting sun was the only thing holding heaven and Earth together. Behind them, they could hear the sound of someone smashing stuff. It was probably Archibald losing his temper. She stopped in her tracks. Turning his head sideways, he looked at her and asked softly, “Are you having second thoughts? Did you regret making that decision?”Raising her head, she looked at the evening light and chuckled dryly, “I’m just thinking that he’s old. He shouldn’t be having a fit this intense.”Back then, Archibald overheard Anderson’s confession of love for her. If only he hadn’t gotten furious and let her turn his grandson down, then everything would’ve been different today.Reminiscing the past had always made her feel dispirited. At the next moment, she looked at Noah and said, “Let’s go!”Later, both of them got into the car. She was buckling up when she asked, “How did you know I was

    Gwynn leaned on him and felt her heart pounding faster. Noah spent the night in her apartment. He slept in the guest room and didn’t try anything funny. All he did was give her a kiss after he gave the kids a good night kiss before he slept. Naturally, he pinned her on the white pillow and kissed her intensely. …The next day, Noah was needed at work. Kim came over to help with the move. Actually, Gwynn didn’t have much stuff to move anyway. After all, she hadn’t been back for long. Moreover, she could just buy anything she needed afterward.It was three in the afternoon when a couple of black limousines pulled into the villa. Gladys took a group of servants and waited for their arrival for a long time now. The moment she saw Gwynn and Lorian get out of the car, tears welled up in her eyes. She stepped forward and called out to her, “Ms. Gwynn.”She was gripped with such a strong emotion. It was the same for Gwynn too. She held the old servant’s hands and said, “I really

    Kim responded with a smile, “It used to be their home. Of course, they adjusted to it well!”Noah chuckled. “I’m just worried that she can't get used to me! The fact is that Gwynn has her own whims, Kim. You have no idea how understanding I am when I deal with her.”She was kind of speechless. After all, she had worked around the clock all week, but all she had to show for it was her CEO bragging about his love life.Taking his coat, he left the office. …There weren’t a lot of people on the street at this time of night. A lady was dressed provocatively, trying to solicit customers by the side of the road. She was negotiating her price with a man, looking as cheap as dirt when she did. This was the second time he had seen Gianna.She was as miserable as when he saw her for the first time previously. Dressed in a cheap, red dress, she was trying to sell herself to the man. The man scanned her from head to toe, his eyes filled with disdain. In the end, however, he fished o

    Noah went over to check on Lorian first. The night was quiet. Lorian was sleeping soundly in his ocean-themed room. One of his arms was resting on the blanket. He sat on the side of the bed and put Lorian’s arm back into the blanket. Brushing his son’s face gently, he looked at his delicate face and felt that his boy was growing up every day. He regretted that he hadn’t spent enough time with Lorian.In the past, he thought of children as nothing more than tools to carry on his lineage.However, witnessing Lorian’s growth gave him a clearer picture of a family. Now, he loved his son very much. He wanted nothing more than to watch his son grow up and have his own family and legacy when he was old enough. Lorian rolled to the side and mumbled, “Daddy.”At the next moment, the father in him felt extremely satisfied. He sat there for a long time before he left and went to the guest room. A night light provided the only illumination there. The dim glow shone on Gwynn, blanketin

    Gwynn put on a silk sleeping gown, walked up behind him, and held his waist. She didn’t say anything. Instead, she merely hugged his shoulders from the back.…Noah’s body stiffened in response. After a brief moment, he asked tenderly and softly, “Does this mean you’ve forgiven me?”At first, she shook her head. Then, however, she nodded. “A little, yeah.”He responded faintly, “Okay.”It sounded like a regular response, but Gwynn didn’t see how tears filled up his eyes. He might’ve waited for her in Brookesville for four years, but he had been waiting for her to forgive him for far longer.It was true. She said she had only forgiven him a little. The fact was that that was enough to make him feel grateful!Sensing that he was trembling slightly, she hesitated a little before asking softly, “Are you crying, Noah?”The only outcome for offending him was a punishment.Holly had drifted off to sleep. The next thing Gwynn knew, she was swooped up and carried into the fitting

    Once Gwynn ended her call with Noah, she shopped alone in the mall and bought shirts and ties according to his preference. She didn’t have to worry about money at all. He had given her a black platinum bank card. There were no limits on the expenditure. She had a lot of time to run her errands. So, she proceeded to buy clothes for both Lorian and Holly. Needless to say, she didn’t forget about Gladys. It was quite late by the time she was done shopping. Just as she was getting ready to go to the restaurant, she ran into someone she knew. Anderson was hanging out with a young girl. She had her arms around him and acted very intimate with him. It didn’t take a genius to figure out the nature of their relationship. The sight of it shocked Gwynn.She knew that he was no longer the refined gentleman she used to know, but the last thing she had expected to see was him having a mistress behind his wife’s back. From the looks of it, they had known each other for quite some time. She

    Archibald was so mad that he could just lash at Anderson with the whip again. In the end, Saul had to break them up and broker peace between them patiently before he could drag Anderson away. Dusk cloaked the sky with an infinite darkness. The light in the old man’s study cast a dim glow in the room. He sat at the deep-colored desk as the wind blew open the window a crack and rocked the stained-glass pendant light. It swayed gently from the wind and made a pleasant chiming. Archibald touched the light. He could still remember vividly how lively and cheerful it was when he reconciled with his long-lost daughter. Now, however, everything had changed beyond recognition. Raising his eyes, he looked at Saul and barked, “This is all Gwynn’s fault! She should never have returned to Brookesville. Anderson’s wild fantasies wouldn’t have been rekindled otherwise!”Saul was shocked to hear it. He couldn’t help but say, “This has nothing to do with Ms. Gwynn, Mr. Archibald.”The old

    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
