Chapter 1121
After the sex, Lorian rolled to the side. His chest heaved with heavy breaths, and his entire body was drenched in sweat. However, his expression showed relief. After a while, Lorian calmed down and turned to ask Tegan, "Did it not feel good for you just now?"Tegan curled up with her back to him. She hugged herself, and her pale shoulders trembled slightly. It took her a while to whisper, "No."Lorian rested for a moment and regained his strength. He couldn't help but think of having another round with Tegan Just as he touched her shoulder, she reacted sharply, "I'm a little sore."Without giving him a chance to inquire further, Tegan grabbed the bedsheet, sat up, and quickly walked into the bathroom. Lorian watched her retreating figure, feeling a bit uninterested.It was better if both of them were into the sex. Lorian wasn't foolish. He could see she wasn't willing. He didn't force her, though. Instead, he put on a bathrobe and went to the adjacent room to shower. When he

On the other end of the phone, Theo felt a sudden jolt. After all, he had been in the business world for many years and had some insight. Lorian calling him like this meant he was here to hold him accountable. Could it be that he had misjudged, and Lorian actually valued his younger daughter?Theo put on a fawning expression and said, "Why are you being so distant, Lorian? Just a few days ago, you were calling me father-in-law."Lorian, of course, didn't buy into his flattery. Holding his phone, he spoke directly, "I heard that my wife was slapped in front of drivers and servants when she went back to the McKinney Villa."I don't care how you throw your weight around at home, but Tegan is my wife. She also bears the Sanders family name. What makes you think you have the right to lay hands on someone from the Sanders family? "Do you want something to happen to your otherwise smooth business? Do I look like someone you can walk over?"Theo flatly denied it. Lorian didn't give him

Lorian didn't expose the awkwardness. He didn't linger with Tegan for long, either. He merely mentioned that he needed to go back to the Sanders family home. Lorian asked Tegan to get up and have breakfast together. He suggested they buy some gifts before returning to the Sanders family for lunch. Tegan vaguely remembered that today was the day Holly was coming back. She paused for a moment. However, she knew better than to compete with Holly. She just gave a faint smile and got up to wash.When Tegan went downstairs, Lorian was already sitting in the dining room. He had a cup of black coffee and a newspaper beside him. He was engrossed in reading. Lorian had taken off his dark coat and draped it over the back of the chair. He wore a crisp white shirt. The morning light shone on Lorian's young and handsome face, making him a sight to behold.As Tegan sat next to him, Lorian folded the newspaper and looked up at her. Noticing that she was wearing a Chanel outfit, he recalled

Children?Tegan was stunned for a moment. She recalled that they hadn't used protection in the two times they had sex. It was clear that Lorian wanted a child.Lorian didn't deny it. He spoke calmly as he paid, "Two kids, probably. Preferably a brother and sister."For a while, Tegan didn't respond. He turned to look at her, lowering his head slightly. "What's wrong?"Tegan lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. It took her a while to muster the courage to look up at him. "What if I can't have a son, Lorian?"Tegan's mother had given birth to two daughters and had become infertile after a difficult delivery. Her mother hadn't been able to have a son and had lived a hard and tragic life. Tegan was afraid of following in her mother's footsteps. She was afraid of being rejected by Lorian.Lorian looked at her quietly with his dark eyes and smiled faintly. "A daughter is also wonderful! The Sanders family still has Ocelotte, after all."Tegan sighed in relief

The sound of the water in the bathroom stopped.Then, Lorian opened the bathroom door and stepped out, revealing his tall and slender body. His bathrobe hung loosely and exposed his wet, dark hair. A bead of water rolled down from his sharply defined jawline. It traced along his chest and firm abs, finally disappearing into his seductive abdomen.Lorian dried his hair as he fixed his dark eyes on Tegan, who was lying on the bed.She wasn't used to bright light, so she had dimmed the bedside lamp. The soft glow cast a delicate sheen on her fair skin, making her appear fragile and beautiful.From a man's perspective, their marital life was harmonious.Although Tegan wasn't stunningly beautiful, her body was alluring. Lorian enjoyed her reactions and expressions during their intimate moments. For a man, sexual harmony could make a marriage less monotonous.Moreover, Tegan had a gentle temperament and a routine. There was nothing to complain about.Lorian finished drying his hair

A son, Jennifer said. Tegan felt a twinge of sadness in her heart. She didn't want to upset her mother, so she said nothing. She merely responded softly, "Mm-hmm."Since Tegan planned to stay overnight at the McKinney Villa, she made a point of calling Lorian at four in the afternoon to inform him of her plans. Tegan added, "There's no need to trouble Philip in the morning. I'll have the driver from home take me to school."Lorian was at the Sanders Group, sitting in the CEO's office. He held the phone while talking to Tegan, reviewing the documents on his desk. After he ensured everything was in order, he signed them and handed them to Kris. "Make copies and distribute them."Kris didn't leave immediately. She quietly asked, "Would you like to invite Ms. Tegan to tonight's year-end company banquet?"Lorian had already hung up the phone. He smiled faintly. "Tegan is at her parents' house. Maybe next time."Kris said nothing further and left the office with the documents in h
Chapter 1127
Tegan watched quietly.It turned out that last night was the Sanders Group's year-end banquet, but Lorian hadn't mentioned it to her over the phone. He must not have intended to invite her.Tegan recalled a line from a television show."I suppose I’m just not worthy!"Tegan felt a pang of discomfort. Their marriage might've been devoid of love, but she still felt slighted and disrespected when she saw a movie star publicly kiss her husband and get featured in the newspaper.Otherwise, how could such a thing be made public? The Sanders Group’s public relations team was competent, after all.With that said, it was only a bit of discomfort. Tegan didn't dare to have high expectations when it came to their marriage. So, It was just a tiny bit of disappointment.That was right. Just a little bit.Tegan folded the newspaper. She heard her colleagues' hushed voices around her. They were gossiping carefully, and a few snippets reached her ears.“It's not easy to have a life in a wealt

The married couple ate in surprising silence.The household servants tried to lighten the mood with a few jokes, but the young married couple didn't smile. Soon, the servants fell silent.As they neared the end of the meal, Lorian put down his utensils and looked at Tegan. He spoke softly, "The photo was taken by a reporter. Nothing happened last night. I won't be inviting the female celebrity's company again."Tegan understood that this was his attempt at an explanation.She believed Lorian's words, as someone in his position would have little reason to lie to his wife. However, this emotionless explanation felt more like it was meant for his wife, whoever it may be, instead of because he cared about her.Tegan was clear about her own priorities. She gave a soft hum in response, choosing not to mention her exclusion or ask any questions. Tegan's discretion pleased Lorian. In his mind, the incident was over. He lightly patted her arm and said, “I’m going to the study to handle s
