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
"Isn't it true?"Holly tried to open her eyes wide. There was a trace of anguish and fear in her eyes. She was feeling anguished because their relationship was finally ending. On the other hand, she was in fear because she couldn't imagine how she would survive without him. However, Holly thought she could manage it on her own. She might not have attended school, but she could make paintings and make a living. Holly even knew two foreign languages, which were Eldorian and Francorian. With Lorian gone, she believed she could explore the world on her own.Holly tilted her head back and looked at the man she had loved for six years. She repeated herself once more, "Let's break up, Lorian."Lorian towered over her and stared at her intensely. At the next moment, someone knocked on the door gently.Then, he heard Gwynn's voice from outside, "Open the door, Lorian. It's me."Lorian and Holly exchanged a startled glance in the dim light. Both of them were horrified because they wer
Lorian was still in a meeting at the company. Holly was alone in the master bedroom on the second floor. She was packing his luggage. They had been living in Silvercrest for the past few years. So, packing up stuff was quite exhausting. Holly needed to use six large suitcases just for Lorian's daily necessities. She neatly folded the last white shirt, unable to resist caressing it lightly. In truth, she wanted to go back with him. However, she still had two paintings left to finish. Holly estimated she could complete them all before the end of the year. Then, she could go back and surprise Lorian.Holly closed the suitcase with a soft sigh. Just as she was about to get up, a strong arm wrapped around her. Lorian's warm breath tingled at the sensitive spot behind her ear. He murmured their revised plans, "The flight's been changed. I have to rush back tonight for a research meeting. "The flight is at nine o'clock. We have just enough time to have sex once."Lorian presse
The actress glanced towards the bathroom.She had heard the rumors that Lorian was secretly involved with Holly, who was adopted by the Sanders family. So, did he reject her just now because of Holly?She was driven by competitiveness. Not only did she answer the phone call, but she deliberately said in a charming voice, "Are you looking for Lorian? He's in the shower."Back in Silvercrest, Holly sat on a white carpet. Behind her was the Christmas tree she had decorated meticulously with colorful lights twinkling.The light reflected on her pale face. She listened to the alluring voice on the other end and was afraid to imagine what might have transpired between Lorian and the woman just now.Lorian left Silvercrest and said that he would send Holly a Christmas gift. However, he failed to do so.He also promised to call her every day, but he failed to do that too. She understood his stress and never complained. Holly worked on her painting in Silvercrest for days and nights.
Lorian had abstained from sex for so long. So, he was wild and rough. Meanwhile, Holly's voice was hoarse from all her moaning.…As the dawn broke, Lorian left Silvercrest.Holly received a text from him at nine in the morning. He informed her that he was already at the office preparing for a meeting. Lorian was thoughtful and asked her to rest well. He seemed like a gentle lover.Holly leaned against the headboard and gazed out of the bedroom window. She could see lush greenery from this angle.Silvercrest was different from Brookesville. It enjoyed a perpetual spring-like climate year-round, while Brookesville would see snow today. Holly thought Lorian probably wouldn't have time to share such beautiful scenery with her. His interests lay solely in the cold numbers on financial reports.They might've had sex, but that didn't resolve their issues.They were very different. Holly wasn't suitable for Lorian. Moreover, she thought he knew about it too. That was why he had
Holly didn't go home. Instead, she pulled her suitcase and headed to the airport,She sat in the cab's backseat and inserted a newly purchased SIM card into her phone. Once it was powered on, she re-downloaded her apps and booked a flight to Seolmont.Her flight would depart in just two hours. After booking the ticket, she leaned back in her seat and got lost in thought. Holly might've resolved to end it, but a six-year relationship was not something she could easily let go of. She couldn't deceive herself. The biggest obstacle between her and Lorian had never been others. In fact, it had always been him.Lorian never thought she was the right person to stand next to him. As far as he was concerned, Holly was only fit to wait in Silvercrest. In fact, he didn't even realize that their relationship dynamic was nothing like a boyfriend or engaged couple. It resembled an affair much more.Holly was merely Lorian's mistress. He always asked her to wait. Firstly, he wanted her to w
Lorian took out his phone and saw that Kris was calling him. He answered it immediately and asked naturally, "Is Holly at home? Did she have dinner?"Her voice trembled slightly, "Ms. Holly didn't go home, Mr. Lorian."Lorian's expression changed instantly. He hung up and started dialing Silverlake Villa's number, but Holly had sent all the servants home for the New Year. He called several times, but no one answered. At that moment, several people approached him for a toast. Lorian set his glass down and walked out of the party room quickly, leaving a group of people looking at each other in confusion."What's wrong with Mr. Lorian?""No idea."He flew to Silvercrest that night. To this moment, he still thought Holly was just throwing a tantrum. She must've been upset by his harsh words and had gone back to Silvercrest in a huff, refusing to see him. Although Lorian was exhausted, he was still willing to come and soothe Holly. He planned to bring her back to celebrate the
