Chapter 1056
Lorian glanced at Poppy and casually replied to Holly, "She's just a business partner."Holly's eyes lowered slightly. She looked very youthful and a lot like someone in her early twenties. She wasn't corrupted by the real world, but the truth was that she was twenty-five years old. So, she was also gradually learning how the real world worked.Poppy also looked over. She raised her glass, looking radiant and elegant. She was truly dazzling.It was no mere coincidence for a woman like her to show up around Lorian's side out of nowhere. Holly might be slow to catch on, but she could guess that this was Lorian's blind date for tonight. However, Holly didn't put Lorian on the spot. Instead, she smiled lightly. "Is that so?"Lorian was about to speak, but the party was about to begin. A waiter came over to invite him to lead the dance on the dance floor.Lorian frowned. He hadn't finished talking with Holly, but it was Renata's big day tonight. He looked down at Holly and said

Lorian looked towards the third floor, where the studio light was on. Holly was in there.She would hide in the studio whenever she was upset. She'd stay there and shut herself in there for the whole day. Lorian was about to go upstairs, but he was stopped. He wasn't free until the party ended and his family had finished reminiscing with Poppy. Renata had brought a gift specifically for Holly, but she was nowhere to be seen. Gwynn smiled, "She said she was tired and went upstairs to rest."Renata always cared deeply for Holly. She said, "I know an old Zutriysteinian doctor who is very skilled at healing. I'll bring her over to take a look later."Gwynn was delighted to hear this and asked for more details. Renata shared with her everything she knew.Lorian, who stood next to them, patted his trousers lightly and said casually, "I'll go up and check on her."At the next moment, however, Ocelotte stood up first. "I'll go, Lorian!"Lorian remained seated when he looked up at O

Gwen ran downstairs after the fireworks ended. She pushed open the door to the study on the second floor and walked in quietly.Noah was inside. He was leaning against a leather chair and looking at a monthly financial report. He heard the door open and guessed it was his younger daughter.Noah asked casually, "Is Holly okay?"Gwen stood with her hands behind her back. Then, she walked up behind Noah and cuddled his neck affectionately.In her mind, however, she couldn't shake off the shocking scene she had just witnessed.Lorian and Holly were kissing. The latter might've been adopted, but this whole thing was still quite big. Gwen assessed Noah's expression. She was certain that neither of her parents knew about this, but Ocelotte definitely did.Gwen might be young, but she was full of mischief. She cautiously probed Noah."Lorian seems to have upset Holly. They were ignoring each other when I went in! "I think it's because of Poppy's presence tonight, Dad."It was so

It was late at night.Noah returned to the bedroom. Just as he pushed the door open, Gwynn happened to come out from the bathroom. She sat at the makeup table and said, "How did Gladys's ointment work this time? If it's suitable, I'll go to the hospital again to get more."Noah closed the door gently.He walked up behind his wife and gripped her slender shoulders lightly. "It worked well. She didn't feel any pain tonight.""That's good."Gwynn squeezed conditioner into her palm.As she maintained her skin, she casually chatted with her husband."Lorian's marriage plans are underway, but Holly isn't young either! Mary mentioned something to me tonight."Her nephew met Holly once and is interested in her. He's in the arts industry as well. Also, he comes from a very wealthy family."From what I gathered, they seem right for each other."Noah released his grip on Gwynn.He lay down on the bed and put his hands behind his head. He contemplated quietly and said, "Talk to them t

The dining hall suddenly turned cold.Holly looked at Lorian. Tears were already in her eyes, but the whole family was there. She needed to stop herself from losing control and shedding tears. It would be too embarrassing.After a moment, she lowered her gaze and said softly, "I can also develop my career in Brookesville. My home is here, and I won't stay in Silvercrest forever. "I'm going to come back home."…Lorian also looked at her, but he didn't say anything. After a while, he grabbed his coat and headed towards the door.His voice echoed from the hallway, "I'm going to the company. I'll drop Holly off at the art exhibition."Holly nibbled on a sandwich silently at the dining table.Gwynn patted her hand and spoke gently, "Ignore what Lorian says. You can come back home anytime you want. "Brookesville is developing well now. It's not inferior to Silvercrest. Besides, you'll feel better having your family to look out for you."Holly murmured in agreement. She finishe

Lorian drove away. He didn't realize that a rift appearing between him and Holly right then.Later on, he had great success in business, even surpassing Noah. However, the lady who had been willing to compromise and wait for him for six years was no longer waiting for him.Slowly but surely, he lost her!…Lorian drove to the company.The conference room was already filled with people. It was evident to everyone that he was in a bad mood. His handsome face was darkened, and he conducted the meeting with strictness towards the representatives of the Vaughan family.It was none other than Poppy.She thought to herself that Holly was the only person that could upset Lorian. He might be strict with other ladies, but, surprisingly, he was very affectionate toward Holly. Poppy might be displeased, but she didn't let it bother her. After all, how much patience could a man like Lorian have for Holly?The meeting ended, and they needed to discuss some details. Poppy was very beautif

Lorian walked out and opened the car door. He got in and tossed the bouquet onto the passenger seat. Then, he opened a phone app and quickly located Holly's position.She was at Cielo Restaurant. It was a high-end Inverleigh restaurant.He sneered and stepped on the gas pedal. The black Cullinan sped out of Sanders Villa before heading towards the city.Noah stormed outside, only to see the car's rear end.With one hand on his hip, he took out a cigarette with another and lit it. "He acted like he didn't care last night. Now, however, he's all in a rush. He has such a foul temper that I don't know who he gets it from."Noah took a couple of puffs before stubbing the cigarette out. Without his wife around, even the cigarette didn't seem appealing anymore.…Half an hour later, the black Cullinan stopped in front of the restaurant. The hood of the car faced the restaurant.Lorian saw Gwynn and Holly through the windshield. They were sitting with Mary and a young man under thi

It was midnight. Holly didn't know when she had fallen asleep. She felt hot when she woke up. Lorian shouldn't have been there, but he was there, and he was holding her in bed. He was staring at her in the darkness when she opened her eyes.His voice was calm, but there was a hint of an impending rage, "Why did you go on a blind date?"Holly looked at him for a long while. She was tired. She closed her eyes lightly and asked in return, "You did it. So, why can't I?"Then, Lorian got out of bed. He was exhausted today. However, he still went to the restaurant to see her. On top of that, he still waited until midnight to resolve the issue regarding her blind date. Be that as it may, Holly insisted that she could do the same thing he did.Lorian walked over to the window. A weak breeze blew in through the window gap, but it did nothing to dispel the anger in him.He rubbed his forehead gently. After a while, he murmured, "We promised to be together forever, Holly."She leaned ag
