Charles’s expression turned peculiar when he heard what his wife said.

He knew that Renata couldn’t get pregnant as well as the reason behind it. Actually, he knew everything about it. He just never brought it up with her.

He wasn’t really in the mood to do it, to begin with. Now that she talked about wanting to have a baby, his interest in sex plummeted dramatically. He tolerated her for a long time before prying her hands away.

He said dryly, “It’s getting late. Go to sleep!”

She laid on her back, feeling embarrassed.

She didn’t exactly come from a dignified background. So, she’d always remain inferior to her husband. Tonight, however, she was eager to make a baby. She wanted to have a child as adorable as Holly.

She needed to make it happen.

So, she held his hand in the darkness and pleaded with him softly, “The little girl isn’t related to Noah and Holly by blood, Charles. They have a son, and she’s pregnant with another baby. She’s young and in the prime of her life. S

    Renata had given it thought for a long time, but she couldn’t bear it anymore. It was May and the weather was brutally hot. In the blink of an eye, Gwynn was now seven months pregnant. Just a couple more months and she’d go into labor. Fortunately, she had a healthy appetite. Her skin was glowing from this pregnancy, but her figure remained slender.Renata kept her company and chatted with her in the private lounge. Holly was sitting to the side and working on her drawing, giving the impression that she was a professional artist.Renata just loved the little girl so much. She hesitated for a long time before she probed Gwynn. “Holly is just so adorable! I’ve always felt sorry for myself every time I talked about her with Charles. We don’t have any children, after all.”Gwynn responded with a smile, “Given your and Charles’s situation, you won’t have any issue adopting a child.”That stumped Renata. Then, she decided she’d just cut to the chase. “I’ve talked about it with

    The fact was that Renata was panicking on the inside. However, she felt better the moment she lowered her head and saw how adorable Holly was. She couldn’t bear to do it to the little girl. She didn’t want Holly to have no parents to rely on. Even if she were to adopt the little girl by force, she knew the latter wouldn’t get close to her. So, she might as well do them a huge favor!Now that Gwynn had something serious to handle, she entrusted her daughter to Renata. The latter said, “No harm will come to her for as long as I’m around.”Nodding, Gwynn thanked her. Then, she left swiftly. Holly stared at her before leaning her head on Renata’s chest.At that moment, Renata had never felt so alive.…Gwynn took twenty bodyguards out with her.It was four in the afternoon.The city’s art museum was filled with members of high society. Charles was holding a glass of champagne with an air of effortless grace. He boasted a high status and sported good looks. So, there were a l

    Silence hung over the museum. Was Charles not going to be more careful with this kind of private and sensitive conversation?The truth was that he very much wanted to do that, but the situation forced his hand. He couldn’t wait to show Gwynn his loyalty. It was a shame that she didn’t want it anymore.“It’s too late,” she said gently. Then, she wore a blank expression and continued, “I have two requests now. First, you’re going to make the phone call and show everyone whose side you’re on. Secondly, I want you to quit your job the moment you’re done with the call. “You probably don’t know this, but I already have someone waiting in the wings to replace you the moment something goes wrong!”He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Who? Who could replace me?”She responded, “Jake. The guy you trusted the most.”His heart sank when he heard that. He couldn’t believe it. Jake would never sell him out and replace him. She adopted a nonchalant expression, giving the impress

    An intense pain overwhelmed Gwynn. Her water broke and stained the hem of her dress, dripping off onto the tile floor. She did her best to prop herself against the wall and called out to her bodyguards, “Help! I need help…”Two of her bodyguards rushed over and supported her. They didn’t have any experience with this. So, they were shocked and didn’t have any idea what they should do. Gwynn, on the other hand, kept a clear head and relayed an order to them, “Get the car ready. I’m going into labor!”At that very moment, Jake walked out of the museum with Charles and saw the blood-chilling scene.Charles didn’t hesitate at all. Saving someone’s life was more important than anything. Once they were all in the car, Gwynn was already going through unbearable pain. Her forehead was covered with sweat. Realizing that the pain must’ve been excruciating, Charles began to feel sorry for her. He extended his hand and said, “You can bite on it if the pain is too great to bear.”He bet

    Wait a minute…Wasn’t his baby supposed to be a girl?Why did it turn out to be a boy instead?He didn’t even look at his son and asked the nurse hastily, “Did you get the wrong baby? My wife has always been pregnant with a girl…” The nurse rolled her eyes at him internally and said, “Ms. Gwynn is the only lady going into labor in the hospital, Mr. Noah.”Then, he sat down, defeated. It took him a long time to process the revelation. Wiping his face with his big palm, he said, “Well. A son is fine as well!”He flashed a smile at Gwynn. “Lorian will have a brother to play with.”She was exhausted, but she still had to comfort her husband. Turning her head sideways, she looked at her newborn and asked gently, “Are you not going to love him because he’s a boy?”“Now, why wouldn’t I love him?”Leaning on the bed, he wiped her sweat off her forehead and talked softly. “I’ll love any baby as long as it comes out of you.”She responded, “You didn’t even check on our baby.”So,

    Charles couldn’t understand it. It felt as if someone stabbed him through the heart. “Are you really going to part with me because of something as fleeting and insignificant as that? Do you think it’s easy to find a perfect husband once you’re divorced, Renata? Moreover, how are you going to find a future in Brookesville? That’s naive of you!”However, Renata had made up her mind. Tears were glinting in her eyes when she called out to him. Her voice was sad and touching. “You’ve spoken my mind. I used to be worried about all those, too! Actually, I’ve never thought about divorcing you until today. That’s because I used to admire and love you so much. You were everything to me“After I found out that you’ve slept with countless other women, I’m in sorrow. I tried convincing myself that you were only sleeping with them and never invested any real feelings in them. You’d come home once you’ve had enough fun.“I thought I’d be able to withstand it for the rest of my life.“All of t

    Noah didn’t dare to let his gaze linger on her, so he went back to the couch. Gwynn might’ve just given birth to her baby son, but she was refreshed once she had cleaned herself. Underneath the ceiling light, she lowered her eyes, looking absolutely spectacular. Staring at her adorable newborn, she said in a soft and affectionate tone, “His name will be Ocelotte. Ocelotte Sanders!”“Quite a poetic name.” Noah repeated it and walked over to pat his newborn. “Let's make Hercules his nickname!”Gwynn was mad now. “Noah!”He chuckled and stared at Gwynn underneath the light. It didn’t matter how he looked at her, she was simply flawless. Gladys read the room and moved to another room. She closed the door so she wouldn’t have to listen to his ramblings later. It was quiet in the ward. The only sound was that of Ocelotte suckling on his mother’s breast milk. “Gulp… Gulp… Gulp…”Noah was feeling a little restless, listening to it. He was sitting by the side of the bed when he shifte

    Gwynn asked him, “What’s wrong with a baby boy?”Lowering her head, she cooed to her newborn, who was in her arms. She was incredibly tender with him. She might’ve given birth to Lorian before and was pregnant with Gwen. However, it felt different when she was pregnant with Ocelotte.Noah saw that she was happy. So, he was delighted, too. He said to Kim, “Got it! Take care of Ayanna.”Kim nodded. “Leave it to me, Mr. Noah! It’s not like Ms. Ayanna wants to stir up any trouble, either. She said she’ll move to Crocksten as soon as she’s discharged and that she’d never come back, let alone have anything to do with the Templetons.“Also, Ms. Ayanna said she didn’t want the Templetons to know that she was the one who saved Ollie’s life.”He gave it some thought and said, “It works out, actually! Let her have a fresh start.”He didn’t waste more time on it. Then, he hung up the phone. Realizing that Gwynn was staring at him, she said, “Ayanna doesn’t want to meet with Anderson.”Low

However, despite his best efforts, they still crossed paths in the hallway.Gael stood quietly, watching Yanni. She had just taken Ella to the restroom, as she wasn’t comfortable leaving her alone.

    In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight bathed the earth, signaling a joyous occasion at the Sanders family home. The youngest daughter of Noah and Gwynn was finally getting married. Even more delightful, she was marrying her childhood love. Dressed in a headpiece and red bridal gown, she was as beautiful as could be, the most stunning woman Zion had ever seen.The Quarto family was busy with preparations. Although they were not extremely wealthy, Jordyn was a capable family head with a good reputation. He handled both inside and outside affairs with finesse and charm. To everyone’s surprise, he got along very well with Mason.However, Noah had some reservations. “Don't you have any relatives of your own, Mason?”Mason didn’t engage with his criticism.

    That night, Jamie and Paityn returned home with their daughter Carol. As soon as they arrived, Carol went to do her homework, while Paityn went to check on their youngest son, Colten Lockwood. The housekeeper was taking care of him and, upon hearing footsteps, turned her head and softly said, "Madam, you're back? He hasn't woken up at all, he's such a good boy."Paityn smiled lightly and signaled for the housekeeper to go downstairs and rest.When the door closed, she looked down at the sleeping Colten. The little one, only eight months old, resembled his father completely; almost like a miniature copy of Jamie. Even Carol, at times, would look at her brother’s face and marvel: "It’s really a masterpiece from God!"Jamie replied, "You even know what a masterpiece is?"Carol teased, "A husband’s looks are the wife’s glory!"Paityn quietly said to Jamie, “She must have seen a supermodel runway show."Jamie immediately asked, "Did she like it?"Paityn didn't answer, just smiled.

    On the second floor, Gwen was trying on her wedding dress for tomorrow. Just as Zion had wished, it was a traditional Zutriysteinian wedding.The red wedding gown was crafted by the top artisans from Zutriystein, elegant and dignified. The headpiece she wore was adorned with wild pearls; each gem was carefully embedded, and the headpiece alone cost tens of millions. A substantial amount of money had been spent.The woman in the mirror was stunningly beautiful. Gwen gently touched her headpiece and muttered to herself, "Zion really doesn’t mind spending money on this little hobby of his."Gwynn, as a mother, patted her head. "This little girl really doesn’t know when to keep quiet, but luckily, she’s married well and is right here beside me..."She had given a generous wedding gift, exactly the same as when Holly got married. Like Holly, Gwen didn’t want any shares of the Sanders Group. The money that Zion earned was enough to support both of them and his small hobbies.Meanwhile

    Ignacio said, "We can’t take care of both of you."Holly was at a loss for words.Lucius was at that lively age, but he was raised by his father and had good manners. When he saw Ocelotte, he respectfully greeted him, saying, "Second Uncle."Ocelotte patted his little head, thinking that the boy seemed sturdier than his own children, possibly because Molly was too fragile. He made a mental note to make sure Yeager got some extra nutrients when he went back.The black Rolls-Royce Phantom sped down the highway, getting them back to the Qiao family mansion before evening.The Sanders family’s sons had all moved out, leaving only Gwen still living at home. Holly, who rarely came back, was also staying at the house. She didn’t refuse, planning to stay for a few days before heading to Silvercrest to visit her biological parents and pay respects.The car pulled into the Sanders Residence, and the house was lit up brightly.In the courtyard parking area, luxury cars were parked everywhe

    In the evening, Gwen was preparing to leave work.In the parking lot, she spotted Zion’s car, but it was empty. Just then, a school leader passed by and said to her, “Zion came to school. There’s a donation ceremony happening in the auditorium. You should go check it out. "Then, you two can head home together afterward. On a cold day like this, a nice dinner would be perfect. What a cozy idea!”Gwen playfully replied, “You really know how to enjoy life.”The leader, holding a bag of groceries, laughed, “See? Your teacher’s wife has been nagging me since morning to go home and cook while babysitting the grandkids.”Gwen smiled softly, watching him leave.In the sky, clouds glowed orange and yellow, their edges tinged with gold.She carried a thermos as she walked toward the auditorium. Along the way, a few students noticed her and started chirping excitedly, cheekily calling her “Ms. Gwen.”Gwen corrected them, “It’s Ms. Gwen.”The students laughed and teased, “Ms. Gwen! Mr. Z

    Gwen stared dazedly at the man.Zion, dressed in a black coat, stood tall in the study, exuding an oppressive aura. He walked toward her and pulled the teary-eyed girl, her face streaked like a little tabby cat, into his arms. One hand gently smoothed her hair as his voice softened to the extreme, "Still saying you didn’t cry."Gwen leaned against his shoulder, mumbling, "You did it on purpose.""Are you at least a little touched?"She pounded on him twice more in response.Zion chuckled lowly, letting the girl vent while his heart ached silently.These past five years had been filled with fear and uncertainty for him. He had been afraid that before he could make a name for himself, Gwen would fall for someone else. If that happened, what could he possibly use to ask her to come back to him?The love story of a poor boy and a rich girl might've existed in novels, but the reality was often harsh.Gwen didn’t care, but he couldn’t bear to let her endure hardship.Now, as they

    Zion and Gwen's marriage seemed inevitable, with no one putting up any resistance. Occasionally, Gwen even had a strange illusion.It all went so smoothly that the years of separation seemed like they had never happened, as if she and Zion had always been together. After their reunion, he didn’t even ask her about her life abroad and treated her just as he did before.She was no longer as youthful and tender, but Zion still saw her as if she were a 20-year-old girl. Gwen felt a bit dejected, thinking to herself, he must just like girls around 18-year-old.But unfortunately, the spring river flows eastward and cannot return!Zion only smiled.In winter, the days grew shorter. After work, Gwen arrived at Zion's villa, but he had not yet come home. The two housekeepers had already started preparing dinner.When Gwen got out of the car, she received a call from Zion. Her voice was soft and tender.“When will you be back?”On the other end, Zion checked the time and said, “I’ll be

    Zion noticed Gwen gazing at him with those wide, expectant eyes again. With a chuckle, he reached into the pocket of his trench coat, pulled out a sleek wallet, and carefully extracted a platinum card. He placed it in her outstretched hand and said with a smile, “This is my secondary card. There’s no credit limit.” Gwen gasped softly, then teased, “Wow, aren’t you generous? Thank you, Teacher Qin.” Zion gave her a light tap on the head. Not missing a beat, Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck and grinned mischievously, “Thank you, my sugar daddy.” Zion’s response was to pull her close, cupping her cheeks as he kissed her fiercely. Though he once carried himself as an educator and now as a refined businessman, he found himself utterly smitten by her playful antics. After the kiss, Zion leaned close to Gwen's ear and murmured something uncharacteristically crude that sent a shiver down her spine. He playfully nipped her nose. “Turns out you’ve got a thing for bad boy
