Charles and Renata supported each other and reached the pinnacle together. However, he felt no gratitude toward her.His affairs with other women continued unabated because he was confident she would not give up being his wife. The fact was that he knew Renata still cared for him, but he mistreated her genuine affection all the same. The climb from the bottom to the top had long worn away whatever conscience he had.Love and affection had always been the privileges of the royals. He was not blessed with such fortune. Now, however, Charles had fallen in love with Renata.For the first time, he was willing to settle down for a woman. He remained chaste for her sake. He was even willing to raise someone else's child as his own. Be that as it may, Renata didn't want any of it.Charles went downstairs. Two nannies were staying with Daphne on the ground floor. Their expressions were filled with confusion and concern. The moment they saw him, they hurriedly called out to him and a
Charles couldn't look away.The single tear Renata shed would come to haunt him for many years to come.In the end, he never got married and lived out the rest of his life in solitude.…They gazed at each other for a long time before Renata broke the silence, "Give me the child."Although Charles felt deep sorrow, he still brought the child over and tried to please her gently, "Daphne is adorable. Let's start over, Renata. We can raise her together. "She will have a bright future as my daughter. Isn't this what you've always wanted?"Now, I am willing to give you everything as long as you are willing to give me a chance."…Charles spoke with great sincerity. Renata couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If she had never been married to him, she would surely have been moved. She'd be captivated by such a charming man. However, the truth remained that she had been his wife for many years. She knew all too well his wickedness. As far as Charles was concerned, Renata
Renata lay still and didn't move a muscle. Her delicate shoulder blades trembled slightly. Tiny beads of sweat glistened in the faint light, making her seem fragile and enticing.Charles felt lust stirring within him again, but the matter at hand was indeed troublesome. He withdrew his manhood out of her after he contemplated for a moment. However, he still cared for Renata. He draped a silk robe over her gently after he tidied himself up.He said, "I have to make a quick trip back to Hucksburgh. You and Daphne stay here for now. Once I'm done, we'll be together as a family."Renata relaxed for a moment. She leaned lightly against the chair and closed her eyes.She murmured softly, "You forced everything on me, Charles. How are we supposed to be together as a family?"Do you intend to keep me locked up and make me your slave? Am I not supposed to have a job and obey your every will? ]"Am I supposed to have you and only you in my world?"…Renata opened her eyes slowly.Sh
Charles was very displeased. "Daphne hasn't finished eating."However, Renata said, "She can eat when she's back home."Charles was stunned. After a moment, he smiled faintly and repeated, "Yes, she can eat at home."He was very reluctant to let them go. Charles hadn't given Renata anything, but he had given this villa to Daphne. He said it was her future wedding gift.He also said that he wanted to see Daphne whenever he came to Brookesville in the future.Renata did not agree.Charles drove them back when they parted. An hour later, the car stopped in front of her villa. Renata sat quietly in the car and gazed outside. A black Land Rover was parked by the roadside. Darrell was dressed in black. He was leaning against his car and smoking. He looked haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot as if he hadn't slept for days. Charles's black limousine stopped, and Darrell stared straight inside through the glass.Daphne waved her little hand, "Hi, Uncle Darrell."Tears welled
Charles handed her a tissue and said miserably, "I'm sorry, Renata. I didn't know that you could still find true love at our age."He didn't say anything else. After she exited the car, he watched her retreating figure and got lost in thought.Charles was thinking that he had never acted crazily in his entire life. He had never truly risked everything for someone. Renata might've fallen in love with someone else, but he still loved her.He wanted her to be happy.…Charles flew back to Hucksburgh. He spent half a month handling that incident. He dealt with it perfectly and beautifully.Charles was highly regarded in Brookesville, and his future was bright. However, he resigned at a time like this. He even held a press conference. Hundreds of reporters from mainstream media organizations gathered in the city hall.Charles was dressed impeccably when he stood at the podium. There were at least eight microphones in front of him, so his voice could be heard clearly in every corn
Two years later.Gwynn gave birth to her third child in Brookesville. Her daughter was named Gwen. Noah had been waiting for a daughter for the longest time.Gwynn was thirty-four years old now.The weather was cold when the spring snow melted. However, the villa was warm everywhere, like spring. Ocelotte was four years old now. He was highly curious at this age and had explored every nook and cranny of the villa. Noah joked that even the dog couldn't stand him. After he made fun of Ocelotte, Noah went to hold Gwen.At night, the master bedroom on the second floor was quiet. Gwen had been fed and was laying there and basking in the warmth. She looked peaceful and beautiful. Noah entered the room gently. He stepped lightly and didn't dare to breathe loudly. He was afraid of disturbing Gwen's slumber.His face was filled with tenderness as a father.Noah touched Gwen's arms and legs, unable to stop loving every part of her.Gwynn was sitting next to him and had just finished
Noah was so surprised that he reached climax.He clenched his teeth tightly and growled softly, "Do you still want future brothers and sisters, Ocelotte?"Ocelotte blinked and darted away quickly.Noah rolled over to the side and pulled Gwynn into his arms. He kissed her gently and murmured, "I'm going to beat that punk eventually! "He's so unruly. Who does he take after, I wonder? Lorian and Holly are easier to handle. I wouldn't mind having a few more kids like them."Gwynn nestled against him and breathed lightly. She pressed her face against Noah's neck and said in a husky voice, "You might complain, but you love Ocelotte deeply in your heart."Noah smiled tenderly and lowered his head to look at Gwynn. "You were pregnant with him for ten months before giving birth to him. "How could I not cherish him? I love and cherish every one of our children all the same."Although he said this, Gwynn knew in her heart that it was different for Gwen. Sometimes, she'd wake up in the
Back in Brookesville, Noah sat in his villa. He hung up his phone and was visibly annoyed.Gwynn was in the dressing room, adjusting her pearl earrings. Her voice was gentle."You were so happy to call Lorian just now. Why the long face now? Did he upset you again?"Noah's anger subsided considerably when he heard Gwynn's voice. He walked into the dressing room and wrapped his arms around her waist. Then, he leaned his face against her shoulder and sought comfort from her."Who else could it be? That brat just mentioned he's interested in his childhood friend. He was out to annoy me!"Gwynn smiled lightly. She lowered her head and held Noah's hands. She said, "You said he was young and that it was his time to brave the real world a few years ago. So, you sent him to Silvercrest to gain experience. "Now that Lorian's career is doing well, you complain that he's not getting married and having a baby. You're being quite hypocritical as his father, Noah. "You were sleeping aro
