Gwynn leaned on Noah's shoulder and gazed out of the window.Clusters of fireworks rose in the night. They were brilliant but fleeting. She couldn't help feeling melancholic, but she had Noah by her side. He said, "The flowers will bloom again next year, Gwynn. I'll accompany you through all kinds of festivals every year. I'll be there with you through our children's every single birthday."Noah added, "We will be happy for a long time, Gwynn."They nestled by the window together and watched those fireworks. They might be brief, but they were beautiful. After a while, they heard Kim's voice from the door, "The party outside is ready, Mr. Noah. We're waiting for you and Ms. Gwynn to bring Ocelotte out to meet the guests."Noah lowered his head. There was still a little tear in Gwynn's eyes. He said softly, "You freshen up a bit. I'll go bring Ocelotte over."Gwynn responded softly, "Okay."Noah walked to the door. He picked up Ocelotte and waited for Gwynn to compose herself.

He even wondered if they were making love at this very moment!Just the thought of it made him even more melancholic.Alisha emerged from the bathroom. She was wrapped in a bathrobe.

Charles couldn't eat or sleep after sending the letter. All he did was anxiously wait for a reply.Jake was gone for two days.He managed to meet Renata in an elegantly decorated guest room. It was late summer, and she had just woken from her afternoon nap. Her clothing was a bit casual. She seemed quite relaxed too. It was clear that she was doing well.Jake understood perfectly that this trip was in vain. However, he still put on a brave face and tried to negotiate with Renata.Renata opened the gift box. There was fresh maple leaf and a set of ruby jewelry inside. The quality alone told her that it was worth a fortune. It was easily more than tens of millions of dollars. She looked down and smiled faintly, "Why is Charles sending me these? Doesn't he need to save money to get married?"Jake spoke candidly, "From what I see, Mr. Charles's engagement with Ms. Alisha is likely off.""That has nothing to do with me," Renata replied. "I won't accept these gifts, and I won't rec

Charles leaned backward.Alisha deduced his intentions. He wanted to sever ties with her and reconcile with Renata. She sneered, "You missed her, but she's having sex with Darrell. You have to see if she's willing to reconcile with you, even if that's what you want."Would she abandon the younger guy to be with you? You're a middle-aged man."What's in it for her? You're still sleeping around with so many ladies, and you're not that wealthy, either."…Alisha said her piece and felt good. However, Charles's face darkened as he stared at her with unblinking eyes. There was no trace of affection between them now.After a while, Charles looked up at the ceiling light and spoke slowly, "At this point, I won't hide anything from you anymore. It's over between us, Alisha. "We're not suitable for each other even if Renata is out of the picture. Naturally, I'll provide you with appropriate compensation."House or cash. Take your pick."A pillow was thrown at him.Alisha lost her

As night fell, everything grew quiet.Though it was a club, the temptations of wine, wealth, and pleasures seemed far removed from them. Time appeared to stand still. The only thing that was left in the world was Renata's retreating figure.She turned her head slightly. Outside the window, the moon was setting in the west, reminiscent of their fading love.Renata felt a pang of sorrow in her heart, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something. However, no words came out eventually. She moved stiffly and walked forward slowly as she left his side."Renata."Charles called out to her.He quickly stepped forward and grabbed her slender wrist.

Renata regained her senses and asked incredulously, "Are you crazy, Charles?""Maybe I am!"She grabbed the car handle. She intended to open the door and get out, but it was locked. There was nothing she could do to open it. Renata turned to glare at Charles, "What exactly do you want?"It was dimly lit inside.Charles looked extraordinarily captivating in his white shirt. He stared at her quietly. His expression carried a hint of a unique sternness and maturity. They made him very attractive."What do I want to do?"He unbuttoned his shirt cuffs and rolled them up to his elbows leisurely, revealing a portion of his solid forearm. Then, a partition rose between the back seat and the front and created a private space. All of a sudden, Charles pulled Renata into his arms. He turned on the overhead light as if to humiliate her.The light shone brightly.Renata wore a dress when she fell into her ex-husband's arms. He touched her wantonly and pulled her thin stockings down her

The limousine was in utter disarray.Renata's face was covered in fine sweat, and her black hair stuck to her forehead. She kept her eyes shut tightly and refused to look at Charles.How could she look him in the eye?Just as she was finally moving onto a new life, he pulled her back. She could press charges against him if she was a young lady. Then, she could've forgotten about this incident and started anew with Darrell. However, she wasn't a young lady. She used to be married to Charles. So, the others would only see them as having lingering feelings for each other.What was more, Charles was involved in too many things. Noah would be the first to disapprove if she intended to take action against him.Adults often had to make sacrifices. She understood this well.Renata sat up slowly and held her clothes as she shed tears quietly. She didn't act hysterically. Instead, she could only wept silently. Charles sat next to her. He had already zipped up his pants, but his shirt w
