Up to now, he is still kept in the dark, not believing his own words.
She was the one who risked her life to save him two years ago!
Lyra is both sad and angry. She speaks harshly to him:
"Ronan, you're a jerk. You've been deceived; she never saved you!"
At these words, Cordelia Locke's face changes, and she clings tightly to Ronan, nervously holding onto his arm, her eyes filled with fear.
Seeing Cordelia Locke's frightened expression, Ronan shows a pained look. "Don't be afraid. I won't let anyone harm you."
Cordelia Locke rests her head on Ronan's shoulder, appearing fragile.
This scene deeply pierces Lyra's eyes, and she angrily exclaims, "Do you both have no shame?"
Ronan turns to Lyra and growls lowly, "Lyra, mind your position! Since you've become my wife, you should act like a lady from a prestigious family!"
"I've told you many times, Cordelia saved my life, and I just want to take care of her."
"Can't yo
The other person was a woman dressed in a crisp professional suit, with her hair pulled back in a neat hairstyle, giving off the aura of a highly capable career elite.Seeing him arrive, the woman stood up and took the initiative to speak, "Mr. Ronan, hello. I am Miss Lary's attorney, responsible for drafting your divorce agreement."Ronan felt his head buzzing, his gaze falling on Lyra's expressionless face, then slowly shifting to the thin sheets of paper on the coffee table.Is Lyra going to divorce him?The lawyer spoke professionally, "Mr. Ronan, this is the divorce agreement. Please review it. Miss Lary only wants custody of the child in her belly, and she renounces everything else."Ronan looked at Lyra with a questioning expression, but she remained silent, lowering her eyes."Do you want a divorce?" he asked.Lyra sat on the sofa, seemingly ignoring him, poured herself a glass of water, and slowly drank it.Ronan's hea
Damien Cross's mouth formed an 'o' shape.Damien Cross's elder brother was a prosecutor in the court, and this divorce agreement was secretly stolen by him from his elder brother's office!Ronan tossed the partially burned divorce agreement into the crystal ashtray on the table.Damien Cross blinked, "Looks like you don't want to divorce your wife?"Ronan raised the glass in front of him, downed it in one go, and said bitterly, "Divorce? Dream on! She's carrying my child in her belly, and she still wants a divorce?"Damien Cross shrugged, pouring him another drink.The two raised their glasses and clinked them together.Damien Cross straightened his face and said, "On a serious note, I heard that Dorian Ashford has been making some moves recently, seemingly targeting you."Ronan sneered, indifferent, "Whatever he wants, I know it well. Nobody else has the qualifications to even look at my things!"Damien Cross reminded,
Lyra found a new set of pajamas and tossed them to Ronan. "Help yourself, I'm going to bed," she said. She knew she couldn't drive him away and had given up trying. Lyra went to her room, just finished making the bed when she turned around to find Ronan silently standing behind her. She patted her chest, not amused, and said, "Are you trying to scare me to death?" Ronan, in his new pajamas, chest broad and exposed without buttoning, looked at her intently with deep eyes. Lyra swallowed nervously and said, a bit flustered, "I'm going to sleep, can you go to the guest room?" They were divorced, did this man still want to take advantage of her? Ronan looked at Lyra with a serious expression and took two steps closer. The scent on him was the same as her shower gel. In a deep and hoarse voice, he said, "Wife, there's something I want to tell you." His nervous demeanor made Lyra uneasy. She had never seen Ronan so serious before. Ronan walked closer, took her hand, and placed i
The next morning, Ronan sat up in bed. His head, post-hangover, felt like it was about to explode.He rubbed his temples with his hands and slowly opened his eyes.Getting up from bed, Ronan, with a pounding headache, surveyed the room with a blurry vision.Frowning deeply, he wondered where he was.His clothes from yesterday were washed and neatly folded on the bedside table.He dressed, slipped into slippers, and walked out, realizing he was at Majestic Crest Villa.His gaze immediately searched for Lyra.Descending the stairs, he heard activity in the kitchen and found Lyra.She wore an oversized maternity dress, one hand supporting her waist and the other stirring a pot on the stove.The pot contained porridge, emitting a sweet aroma that reached Ronan's nose.Her hair fell in a cascade, and she used fair fingers to gently tuck it behind her ear.Sunlight cast a golden hue on her face, presenting a serene and beautiful picture.Ronan felt a warm surge in his chest, like ripples of
Ronan glanced at him indifferently, and the butler Zane immediately shut up obediently, respectfully saying, "Miss Cordelia is in her room."Ronan went upstairs and pushed open Cordelia Locke's room.Cordelia Locke was happily playing with a cat and hadn't noticed anyone entering."Cordelia, what are you doing?"A deep voice sounded behind her.Cordelia Locke immediately lifted the cat to Ronan and said joyfully, "Ronan, look, this is the cat I picked up. I named it Little Mi. Isn't it cute?"The moment the cat approached Ronan, he instinctively took a step back.The nerves in his brain snapped.Everything around him became blurry, and he couldn't hear anything.It was as if he had returned to his childhood.His parents died tragically in a car accident, leaving him with only a small cat his mother had left behind.To make him accept reality, his grandfather ordered the cat to be drowned.In an instant, Ronan's expression became extremely fierce, his bloodshot eyes filled with a blood
Lary came home with shopping bags, pushing the door open to find Ronan sitting in the living room.She felt a headache coming on; they had signed the divorce papers, so why was he still hovering around her every day?Ronan's face was grim as Lyra noticed her medical examination report lying in front of him.Lyra was slightly dazed; she didn't expect him to find out eventually.Dr. Kael had promised to keep it a secret, but with Ronan's influence, getting hold of her medical records wasn't a difficult task.Standing there, Lyra felt a sense of resignation.Was she unable to escape this calamity?"You already gave Majestic Crest Villa to me, didn't you? Why do you keep coming here every day?" Lyra casually asked.Ronan's handsome face darkened, and he gestured towards Lyra's medical report on the table.Lyra was a bit absent-minded; she didn't expect him to find out.Dr. Kael had promised to keep it hidden, but with Ronan's influence, accessing her medical records wasn't that difficult.
He thought quite simplistically!And rightly so, in his mind, besides Cordelia Locke, why would he care about anyone else's life?Lyra looked at Ronan with an increasingly icy gaze."I just want to remind you that we're already divorced. You've signed the divorce agreement, and once the divorce certificate comes in a few days, our marital relationship will be officially dissolved."Lyra paused a light smile on her face."In plain terms, we are two unrelated strangers. Why do you have the right to ask me to donate bone marrow?"Ronan's breath hitched, and he said, word by word, "What if we haven't divorced yet?"Lyra was stunned for a moment and immediately responded, "You signed the divorce agreement. You wouldn't have forgotten, right?"Ronan leisurely leaned back on the sofa. "Yes, I signed it. So what?"Lyra disdained his shamelessness."Then naturally, we have no relationship anymore!"Ronan suddenly laughed, and his features slowly relaxed.He curled his lips. "Wife, why are you
Since Lyra is his wife, she should have been mentally prepared.He could refrain from wandering outside and avoid creating illegitimate children.After curing Cordelia Locke's illness, he was even willing to devote all his time to Lyra.He could wholeheartedly stay by her side.If she wanted a child, he could arrange for someone else to carry it for her.Once everything settled, they would have a good and happy life.They would have many, many children in the future, in Ronan's eyes, a beautiful future with Lyra.After waking up, Cordelia Locke called Ronan."Ronan, where are you? I want to see you."Ronan, full of concern, said, "Cordelia, just wait a bit. I've found a bone marrow match for you!""Really?" Cordelia Locke exclaimed excitedly. "Can I survive?""Yes, but you have to be patient. I will make sure you survive!" he assured her firmly."That's great! I want to see you now, okay?" Cordelia Locke pleaded pitifully."I have to undergo chemotherapy. I'm scared. Can you come and
“Mia, do you want to go camping with us?” Matthew looked at her expectantly.Lyra pursed her lips, unable to refuse him."Sure, I'll go with you," she agreed."Great, we can go camping!" Matthew cheered.Matthew was ecstatic, lying on Lyra's chest and refusing to get up.His little head kept rubbing against her, and his innocent and cute voice said, "Mia, I haven't taken a bath today..."Lyra's heart melted as she carried Matthew to the bathroom, helped him bathe, and even used cotton swabs and a nail file to clean his ears.Matthew comfortably lay on Lyra's lap, chubby hands poking at her soft chest, enjoying her help in cleaning his ears.Having a wife is nice!Unlike Dad, who doesn't have a wife and wears a constipated expression every day.Seeing his adorable face, Lyra couldn't help but kiss his cheek.The little guy blushed."Matthew, do you like your dad?" Lyra asked tentatively.She and Ronan were not possible anymore. In the future, she would have to fight for Matthew's custo
Today he has already taken her several times, and if he takes her again, he's afraid her body won't be able to handle it.Adjusting his breath, Ronan leaned against Lyra's ear, still panting slightly."The account for today's deeds is temporarily unpaid, but I'll collect it from you later."His cool lips left a mark, capturing her sweet scent, and his large hand uncontrollably climbed under the covers.This woman had a kind of irresistible charm.Even her breathing seemed to tempt him, turning him into a beast, always wanting to take action against her, completely out of control.Ronan had never experienced anything like this with any woman before.As the CEO of Zenith Ventures, Ronan was never short of women around him; to say beautiful women were abundant would be an understatement.Celebrities, aristocratic ladies, ladies from noble families...But none of them, like Lyra, could provoke his desires so easily.Five years ago, he knew that her body was made for him, perfectly fitting
He forcefully shut off the shower, while Lyra reached out to turn it back on.Ronan firmly grasped her hand, his anger on the brink of eruption, each word squeezed out through his teeth, "Lyra, you better not provoke me again!"Lyra slowly turned her head, glancing at Ronan.She stood there, motionless, like a statue, her eyes empty.After a while, Lyra blankly looked up and noticed that there was no more water coming out of the shower.She reached out, wanting to turn it back on.Ronan's voice was as cold as his expression, "If you don't stop, I'll immediately send the video to your lover!"At his words, Lyra's whole body tensed, halting her attempt to turn the switch."Come here!" Ronan ordered coldly.Lyra's body felt heavy as if it were filled with lead, she forced herself to walk towards Ronan.One step, two steps... she almost exhausted all her strength, finally reaching him."Think I'm dirty? Huh?" Ronan pinched her chin, his eyes wild.In the past five years, he hadn't touched
"If you don't comply..." Ronan's voice trailed off, deliberately leaving the threat unsaid, his intentions clear.Lyra's lips quivered fiercely in response.Ronan was satisfied with her reaction and spoke with a smirk, "It's no big deal to show him, anyway. You're my wife, we've rolled in the sheets countless times, he knows it all.""I promise you," Lyra gritted her teeth, "I promise you, but you can't let him see the video."Suddenly, Ronan felt as if something had lodged in his chest. Lyra cared about Torin so much!Despite having the upper hand, Ronan felt utterly shattered."Since you've promised, show me your sincerity, this time it's your initiative," Ronan's voice echoed seductively in her ears.Lyra's chest trembled as she looked at him incredulously.This beastly man, she wished she could just stab him to death!But she also knew she couldn't fight this man right now.He held her weakness in his hands.Lyra mockingly tugged at her lip, slowly moving her body.Her legs ached
She reached for the bedside table lamp, but her wrist was easily caught by him. He sneered, "Do you think I'll give you a chance to smash my head?" "Get out! Get out!" Lyra's eyes turned red as if she had gone mad. But her strength couldn't match Ronan's. He was like a spider in a web, trapping Lyra tightly, leaving her with no chance of escape. For the first time, Lyra felt the immense disparity in strength between a man and a woman. She was no match for Ronan at all. Gasping for air heavily, Lyra struggled to sit up again, but Ronan forcefully pressed her back down. Lyra's body was being torn apart incessantly, and she almost thought she would be tortured to death. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. After what seemed like an eternity, the brutal abuse finally ceased. Ronan lay atop her, his breath thick and heavy. Lyra lay there like a lifeless puppet, her eyes hollow with despair, tears lingering at the corners. Her body was covered in red marks, bearing the tr
!Lyra was stunned by his shameless words and promptly turned away, ignoring him. Ronan's cheek became thicker and thicker, and he seemed to have no shame. Even though Lyra ignored him, he didn't get angry, continuing to gaze at her. Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Lyra suddenly saw Matthew sitting up, rubbing his eyes, and jumping off the bed. Lyra quickly asked, "Matthew, what's wrong?" Still half-asleep, Matthew's tender voice murmured, "I need to pee." "I'll take you." Lyra, not knowing how to avoid Ronan, offered. With his eyes closed, Matthew replied with a sleepy "mm." Just as Lyra was about to take him to the bathroom, Ronan suddenly picked up their son, his deep, melodious voice saying, "I'll take him." As the father and son left, Lyra suddenly felt it was a perfect opportunity and quietly left the children's room, heading to her guest room. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lyra felt extremely nervous, feeling that Ronan had malicious intentions. But now that s
Lyra turned her head and found Matthew already running into room 2016, her brow furrowed, and she hurriedly followed.In the room, Matthew climbed onto the bed, continuously pushing Ronan with his hands, shouting anxiously, "Daddy! Daddy!"Ronan lay on the bed dressed neatly, luckily they arrived in time; it seemed that Cordelia Locke hadn't succeeded.Matthew's pushing and shouting didn't elicit any response from Ronan, and he became increasingly worried, his little face scrunching up, on the verge of tears, as he cried out, "Mommy, mommy! Has daddy gone away?"Matthew's crying tugged at Lyra's heartstrings, her own heart pounding hard in her chest.Had Ronan...?She forced herself to calm down, walking over to Ronan's side and placing her hand gently on his attractive, steady nose.Thankfully!He was still breathing!It seemed he was just knocked unconscious.Lyra quickly took out her phone and dialed 911, simultaneously calling the hotel's room service to send someone over immediat
Even though Ronan was dressed neatly and lay quietly like a wooden man without giving any response, resembling a sleeping beauty.Cordelia Locke still couldn't resist his charm and excitedly straddled him, involuntarily moaning."Mmm... Ronan... so good..."Suddenly, someone outside the door started frantically ringing the doorbell.Cordelia Locke, who was immersed in excitement, was interrupted by the sudden ringing, making her very unhappy.Originally, she didn't want to pay attention and pretended there was no one in the room.But then she considered that if it was a room service attendant who saw no one inside, they might just swipe their card to enter.So she decided to send away the person outside first, and then come back to enjoy Ronan's body.The person outside suddenly changed tactics and began pounding on the door with their hands.Startled by the unexpected noise, Cordelia Locke hugged the towel around her and cautiously walked to the door, peering outside through the peep
Finally, the car arrived at the Grandeur Gala Hub clubhouse after twenty minutes. Lyra and Matthew approached the entrance but were stopped by a doorman. "I'm sorry, this is an exclusive private club. Only members are allowed inside," the doorman said, blocking their way. Lyra hurriedly explained, "We're here to find someone." "Even if you're looking for someone, you can't come in. Why don't you call your friend and have them come out to meet you?" the doorman refused to let them in. "What's a member?" Matthew asked, his little brows furrowing. The doorman glanced at him. Although he was just a child, his demeanor and attire were extraordinary, so the doorman politely replied: "A member is a VIP member who needs to pay an annual fee of one million." Lyra gasped, calculating the balance in her bank account. But no matter how she calculated, it was not enough. She hesitated, remembering that Torin had given her a card before, but she had never used it. Should she take it out n
