Chapter 1067
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

Lorian slowed down his steps. He stared intently at Holly. His gaze was intense and unyielding. Lorian knew he was losing his composure. However, he was finally reunited with Holly again. What did it matter if he lost his cool?She had been gone for four years.Four freaking years!In those four years, they hadn't contacted each other via text or phone call. They hadn't even heard each other's voices. They had zero interaction. Lorian's face was tense. After a moment, he forced out a few cold words through clenched teeth."You're back.""That's right." Holly's voice was somewhat dazed. She looked at the perfect couple in front of her. Four years had passed. She no longer had any relationship with Lorian anymore. However, she had once loved him deeply. It was impossible for her to be indifferent. Her heart ached sharply. It was an excruciating pain that nothing could get rid of.Poppy held Lorian's arm and smiled warmly at Holly. Her demeanor was gentle and cordial.

The Sanders Villa was bustling and lively. Gwynn held Holly's hand. She was so choked up that she couldn't speak for a long time.Then, she said in tears, "It's good you're back! That's what matters."Gwynn was both joyful and sorrowful. She turned her face away and took a while to regain composure. Holly understood her feelings. She leaned against Gwynn's shoulder. Her voice was slightly hoarse when she spoke. "I'm back, Mom. I've been doing well all this time! I've seen a different world out there and have been to many places."Holly was no longer the lady who had lived a sheltered life. She was her own person.It felt good."That's wonderful." Gwynn couldn't help but nod. She was worried that she might upset Holly. So, she didn't mention Lorian or PoppyHowever, Holly smiled faintly and said, "I just saw Lorian and Poppy at the door.""Holly."Gwen ran over and threw herself into Holly's arms. She was twenty years old, but she still acted like a child.Holly brought her

"Now, I don't even know who's the one who doesn't want this relationship between Lorian and Holly."…Noah bared his soul.Gladys felt sad too, but she remained tough on the outside. She scolded Noah for drinking too much and told him to go upstairs and lie down.She said that he wouldn't be airing his grievance like a child after a good sleep. Noah touched his nose and went up to the study on the second floor.The light was bright. He sat behind the dark wooden desk and pulled open a small drawer gently. Several documents were neatly arranged inside. Noah took them out one by one and opened them. They were the equity transfer documents for the Sanders Group.There were a total of four documents.Lorian held thirty-five percent of the company shares, while Holly held twenty percent. Ocelotte and Gwen each held ten percent. There was a purpose behind his distribution. Holly might've left back then, but he still believed that both of them would eventually be together. Thus,

"What does that have to do with you?"Holly lowered her gaze and avoided his eyes. Her voice had gained a mature allure compared to the past.She spoke calmly, "Aren't you the one who abandons people after they outlived their usefulness, Lorian? Aren't you the one who gives up when things don't feel right? "If we liken people to rags, then I'm the rag… Not you.""It's true. I was the one who left first, but why did I have to leave?"It was because Lorian neglected Holly. He didn't care about her.In their early twenties, he had told her that he'd take her with him wherever he went in the future. They'd never be apart.After they had been together for six years, Lorian told Holly to wait for him in Silvercrest.As far as he was concerned, his career and offspring were more important than her. She went from being first in his heart to last. That wasn't what real love was. No one could be that busy that they were occupied from morning till night. If it took Lorian two days to
Chapter 1074
The family sat together at the dining table and had breakfast early in the morning.Noah felt content in his heart.He poured a glass of milk for Holly. "Your mother woke up early to make breakfast herself. It's been years since she cooked. "Now that you're back home, I'll make breakfast for you every day."Holly replied softly, "I want to move out. I'll come home for visits and have meals with all of you on weekends."The dining room fell silent. Lorian sat across from her and held a cup of black coffee. His gaze was deep and inscrutable. His handsome lips pressed tightly together. However, he remained silent.Noah was the first to disagree, "You've just come back. Why do you want to move out again? "It's dangerous for a girl to live outside, especially at your young age.""I'm twenty-nine years old, Dad."Noah still disagreed. He felt indebted to her. He always felt that he should be by her side to take care of her. Fathers always wanted to protect their daughters, but
