Chapter 1010
Indeed, who would have thought that the distinguished Anderson would’ve acted like a drunken fool in the dead of night? Just as the security guard was about to call the police, a slender figure emerged from the darkness.It was Noah.He must have been asleep. Clad in a black two-piece pajama set, topped with a long black down coat, he braved the cold night with a cigarette dangling between his fingers. It had already burnt halfway down.Under the bright porch light, he looked stunning and imposing, which accentuated Anderson’s disheveled appearance even more.As Anderson gazed at Noah, his lips trembled uncontrollably."Where is Ayanna?" he asked.Noah chuckled coldly. "Buried."Buried...Anderson’s eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't accept this outcome, yet he also found it absurdly ironic. He was the one who had driven her to her death and yet he was consumed with regret now.Noah took a drag from his cigarette, the faint green smoke hanging in the air under the porc
Chapter 1011
Anderson drove through the night to Crocksten. Snowflakes swirled in the dark. His entire world echoed with Ayanna's words, "I love you, Mr. Anderson."Outside the car, snow settled like frost. Inside, he didn’t turn on the heat. In the depths of winter, he wore only a shirt in the middle of the night. His body was nearly frozen, but inside, it felt as if a fire was burning.He didn't know what his feelings for Ayanna were. He hadn't given it much thought in the past. After all, all his love and hatred were directed at someone else. Now, however, that single phrase, "I love you, Mr. Anderson," echoed deafeningly in his ears, refusing to fade away.Five hours later, his car stopped in front of the small villa. A thin layer of snow covered the ground before it. It turned out that it also snowed in Crocksten. The entire world was covered in snow, including his heart. He took the key, unlocked the gate, and slowly stepped into Ayanna's place.The garden was filled with camell

The picture was blurry, barely discernible. Noah told him, "Ayanna was pregnant when she jumped. This is the forensic report."This news completely shattered Anderson.His phone slipped from his hand, his expression vacant, his mind unable to process the information. Suddenly, he began to hit his head and chest forcefully, but the physical pain did nothing to alleviate the guilt gnawing at his soul. He gasped for breath, finally letting out a cry that sounded like an animal in agony.Then, he collapsed heavily to the floor. Lying there, his eyes half-open, he could see the transparent fishbowl with the two red carp swimming back and forth...“Anderson cares not about Ayanna.”…Anderson found himself in a hospital room when he woke up. The room was pristine, with a faint smell of medicine. Talia sat by his bedside, gazing at him thoughtfully.Seeing her husband awake, she maintained a neutral expression and calmly stated, "Two months ago, you happened to meet her. You coul

Talia walked out of the hallway and saw light ahead.Tears streamed down her face as she gazed at the morning sun through the window. She smiled bitterly.No one won in this tragedy!…Two days later, Anderson had recovered.At nightfall, he drove alone to a secluded graveyard. It didn't take him long to find Ayanna's grave. On the white tombstone, black letters were engraved, "Grave of Ayanna Francis, mother of Daphne."Daphne. So, that was the name of their baby.Where was Ada?He was driven to madness. He lifted the stone slab and retrieved the black urn. The blooming rose in the night was turned into a cold little urn now. It lay silently in his arms.However, she would never speak again."I love you, Mr. Anderson."He didn't know the extent of his obsession. All he knew was that he wanted to make amends, to compensate. He couldn't bear to leave her alone in the cold cemetery. He wanted to bring her back to the home she shared with him.He turned on the heat in the ca

Huh?Renata looked at Gwynn and said, "It seems that Anderson is here." She held her child close, looking very mournful. Gwynn pondered for a moment and said, "If you don't want to see him, I can go and speak on your behalf." However, Renata replied, "I can't avoid him forever. Since he already knows the child is with me, he'll likely come often if we don't meet now. It's better to just meet him today." She called a servant and instructed her to bring Anderson to the parlor. After the servant left to carry out the task, she changed into a new outfit. She also put Daphne in new clothes. It was the baby’s first time meeting her irresponsible father, after all. She said to Gwynn, "You can wait for me somewhere else! I know you don't want to see him."Gwynn just smiled faintly.Anderson sat in his car in the courtyard on the ground floor.A servant approached him, saying, "Our mistress requests your presence in the small foyer on the second floor. Please come this way, Mr.
Chapter 1015
On New Year's Eve, the Sanders Villa was decorated with lanterns and festoons in preparation for the upcoming celebrations. The house was bustling with activity, especially with several kids around. In the late afternoon, Noah returned home early from the company's year-end banquet, having had a few drinks and hoping to take a nap.However, when he pushed open the bedroom door, he saw Gwynn sitting on the sofa, nursing Ocelotte. The room was warm, and Meng Yan was dressed lightly, her skin glowing. The sight of it sobered him up from his drowsiness instantly.He stared at the scene for a long moment before slowly closing the door and walking over to sit beside his wife. He reached out, gently stroking Ocelotte’s head, and asked, "How many times does this little guy eat in a day?" Their six-month-old son was chubby and healthy.The fact that he was watching her breastfeed Ocelotte made her feel a bit embarrassed. She whispered, "You’ve had some drinks, go lie down on the bed fo

Noah didn't let Gwynn speak further. After a rough sex, he leaned against her sweaty neck, his voice hoarse. "Try calling him in such an intimate manner again! I'll make sure you can't get out of bed."She panted softly, her arms wrapped around his lean waist. Her face was close to his too. She whispered tenderly, "You're already over forty years old, Noah. You should be tempering yourself, instead of acting like a young man in his twenties."He moved his face, brushed against her nose, and gave her a gentle nip. "I'll still make you moan and scream out of pleasure even if I’m in my seventies.""Is that so?"…After exchanging a few sweet words, Gwynn’s mind was still on important matters. So, she pushed Noah and got up. She smoothed her slightly tousled black hair and said to him, "Go ahead and take a nap for a while. I'll go see what the secretary wants and come back to your side later!"He took the opportunity to make a request, "Let's have another round before the New
Chapter 1017
Gwynn's heart felt heavy.On the second day of the New Year, she personally went to Renata's place. Gwynn needed to hand over some things to her and to see Daphne. Gwynn sat in the back seat of the car. After half an hour, she still hadn't reached Renata's residence. She asked the driver, "Why are we taking a detour?"The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled faintly, "There's road construction up ahead by the municipal authorities, so we have to take a long detour! "Although it's early spring, the view at the foot of Ituming Hillside is nice. If you look outside, Ms. Gwynn, you can see a grove of winter jasmine."Ituming Hillside...Gwynn was taken aback.Anderson had chosen to become a priest at Ituming Hillside.She lowered the car window, and a gust of cold wind blew in. However, she didn't feel cold. Looking into the distance, she indeed saw a grove of vibrant winter jasmines. It seemed as though a clear and fresh scent lingered at the tip of her nose.As
