Chapter 1175
With a sharp thud, Jamie slammed the car door shut and drove away from Lorian’s villa.…After Jamie left, the servants in the villa sprang into action. Some were preparing the tea for Lorian's hangover, while others were cleaning up and trying to make him as comfortable as possible. They carefully removed his thin wool coat to help him feel less burdened.Margaret was wiping Lorian’s neck, scolding him as she did so. She lamented that he was a mess without his wife and reminisced about how good a wife Tegan was, who was thoughtful and caring.Was Margaret referring to Tegan? Lorian lay back on the sofa and felt the room sway around him, especially the chandelier overhead. His head was spinning.Meanwhile, Margaret continued to chatter away. Lorian was irritated and just wanted to go upstairs to lie down in the bed he once shared with Tegan. Although her scent was long gone, there were still memories of her in that bed.He stood up unsteadily and leaned on the banister as he made

Outside the CEO's office, Kris knocked on the door. "You wanted to see me. Mr. Lorian?"Lorian’s gaze lowered slightly as he continued to look at the invitation card in his hand. He spoke to Kris without looking up, "I need you to personally deliver this invitation to the McKinney Villa. Make sure to hand it to Tegan in person. This is a promise I made to her."Kris took the invitation and felt quite shocked. Lorian and Tegan had been divorced for eight months already. By all rights, they should have gone their separate ways, but it was clear that Lorian hadn’t moved on. Sending a wedding invitation… Was this meant to provoke her? When it came to relationships, one had already lost everything the moment someone developed a desire to win or lose.As a subordinate, however, Kris knew better than to say anything. So, she took the invitation and went to deliver it. She knew where the McKinney sisters had been living and easily found the place. However, the McKinney family's servant

Kris briefly recounted the events from earlier, but she omitted the details about Paityn tearing up the invitation and her harsh words. At the end, she asked softly, "So, should we continue trying to locate Ms. Tegan, Lorian?"Lorian turned away. He continued to gaze at the sunset outside. The slight excitement he had felt before Kris’s return had long since vanished. Lorian thought that since Tegan was not in Brookesville, she must have gone to Hucksburgh to live with Dustin. He wondered why they hadn’t married yet. Perhaps it was due to opposition from Dustin’s family.Lorian stood there for a long time until his eyes grew a bit sore. Finally, he spoke softly, “No need.”Kris looked at him and felt that his back seemed desolate. He was far from the image of a groom about to marry. Instead, he resembled a heartbroken man. Kris reflected on the past six months and found Lorian's interactions with Leanna quite unremarkable. She couldn’t sense any real affection from him towards h

The atmosphere froze for a moment. Although Leanna was unhappy, today was Gideon’s birthday, and the house was filled with relatives eager to meet Lorian. She couldn’t afford to argue with him now.Leanna curved her lips into a gentle smile. "Why aren’t you coming inside? Everyone’s waiting for you."Lorian slowly came back to his senses, realizing that the person standing before him in the twilight was his understanding fiancée, not Tegan. It wasn't his ex-wife, who lingered in his thoughts.Lorian felt out of sorts and didn’t respond and simply got out of the car. The couple walked side by side through the evening light, presenting a picture-perfect image. Along the way, the Hensley family's servants greeted them warmly, "Ms. Leanna. Mr. Lorian."Lorian wore a noble and aloof expression. He did not acknowledge them.Leanna felt sweet on the inside, and she couldn’t resist slipping her arm into Lorian’s, leaning closer to him. Her cheek lightly rested on his broad shoulder, and h

In the stillness of the night, Paityn had already gone to bed. Meanwhile, Tegan was wrapped in a robe when she stepped out onto the terrace and gazed at the night view. Crocksten was not as bustling as Brookesville. From the apartment's terrace, she could even see the distant mountain ranges. On the other side of those mountains was the place where Jennifer was serving her sentence. With good behavior, she had already received a three-month reduction in her sentence.Tegan lowered her gaze, looking at the mended wedding invitation in her hand.Lorian and Leanna were about to get married. …Lorian was getting married. He had gone out of his way to send her an invitation. He must still harbor resentment towards her because she told him she was pregnant with Dustin's child. Tegan had already moved on from that relationship and marriage, but the appearance of this invitation was like a stone thrown into the calm waters of her heart.Just like this torn and mended invitation. It

Lorian and Leanna held their wedding in the most luxurious hotel in Brookesville. Almost all the high society of Brookesville had come to attend the second marriage ceremony of the president of the Sanders Group. Despite the lively atmosphere, the groom—Lorian appeared distracted and unenthusiastic, as if he wasn’t truly celebrating. It wasn’t until he received a call from Paityn that his attention was drawn, albeit it was directed elsewhere.Paityn was usually so composed, but she sounded heartbroken on the phone as if her world was about to collapse. How could it not be? She was born into such a family, and she was a girl. On top of that, she was met with such coldness at her birth. Jennifer was in prison, and Tegan was suffering from a major hemorrhage. Now, Paityn was even deliberately using the newborn's life to fight against fate.Paityn’s voice echoed in the phone. “She’s carrying your child, Lorian. It’s up to you Whether you come or not…!”…Lorian's phone suddenly dro

Tegan was utterly exhausted after giving birth. She lay limp on the delivery bed. At that moment, it was as if she had gone dead. She couldn't hear anything. However, Tegan could almost hear the sound of pink flower buds quietly cracking open in the darkness and the petals growing silently after absorbing water.A moment later, Tegan's hearing returned. She heard the doctor attending to her, and the nurse cleaning her newborn baby girl, whose cries were piercingly loud. A tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.This was her child. Tegan had given birth to a baby. Her pale fingers were tightly gripped by a man as if he were her beloved husband. Lorian didn’t immediately go to look at the child. He was afraid something might happen to Tegan. So, he stayed by her side and fixed his gaze on her. Lorian had forgotten that they had been divorced for more than half a year. He had forgotten that they hadn’t seen each other in so long. He had forgotten how callously he had sent Teg

Tegan had received two bags of blood plasma, which helped her regain some strength. However, she was still weak. The Sanders family did not disturb her too much. They came to see Lola before settling in nearby accommodations, leaving only Lorian in the VIP room.The room was clean and fresh. Paityn and Lorian glared at each other. As far as she was concerned, he was an irresponsible scumbag. Meanwhile, he felt that she should have spoken up sooner. Neither could stand the other.In the early morning, the only sound in the room was Lola’s sweet, tiny breaths as she curled up with her little fists clenched. Lorian found her adorable, and his heart melted. Upon closer inspection, Lorian saw that Lola's profile resembled his, but her features had a soft gentleness like Tegan's. Overall, she was perfectly beautiful. Just as he was admiring her, Lola let out a loud cry.Lola’s pretty little face scrunched up, and her closed eyes squeezed out a few tears. This distressed Lorian. He picke
