As soon as he arrived, Jamie saw Yanni and Keaton being close, accompanied by a little girl. He walked over with a graceful charm, and he took in Ella with a keen eye. Ella recognized him, and she knew how to make people happy. She looked at Jamie with her big eyes as she sweetly called out, “Hi, Jamie!”Jamie ruffled the little girl’s hair. At this moment, he had no idea that he actually had a daughter—one secretly born to Paityn. It happened two or three years before their deal. Jamie had thought that he had had sex with Paityn for the first time, however, the truth was that she had already given birth to a baby girl. Jamie's daughter was named Carol McKinney, and she had been raised in Silvercrest.Yanni was a bit surprised to see Jamie, especially since he had never been fond of Gael. He sensed her thoughts and shifted his gaze to Keaton. Jamie said with a hint of discomfort, “Dad asked me to come over! He wants me to tell you to come back for dinner when you have time an
Emilia was taken aback. Today was supposed to be her joyous day with Gael, and she was looking forward to getting ready for their wedding night. She didn’t expect him to suddenly lash out like this.Emilia believed that hosting the wedding made her Gael's wife. So, she dismissed him. She opened the car door and said, “You must be too tired and talking nonsense, Gael. I’m your wife. Where could I possibly go?”Gael remained seated in the car. He didn't move a muscle. He watched as Emilia held up her dress and stepped up the stairs toward the entrance. She looked like the mistress of the villa. Well, she almost was.At that moment, a maid approached and looked at Gael. “Do you really think of this place as a new home, Mr. Gael?”Gael stepped out of the car, his long legs striding forward. “No.”The maid felt relieved. She and the others preferred Yanni and didn’t care for Emilia. Just by looking at her, Emilia seemed petty with a sharp and difficult demeanor.Gael stood in the dark
Suddenly, Emilia burst into laughter, and her whole body shook with it. “You finally woke up, Gael! Too bad it’s too late. Yanni, that noble ex-wife of yours, won’t even look at you again. "She found a new boyfriend without breaking a sweat. They’re apparently getting married. Doesn’t that hurt?”“Oh, I almost forgot to tell you something. Buckle up, Gael, because I'm the one who leaked that video. And you actually wrongly accused Yanni. "Do you even realize how foolish you look every time you blame her? A self-righteous man like you deserves a broken marriage. Now you feel wronged and upset, but why didn't you feel the same when you were secretly meeting me behind Yanni's back?"…Gael was deeply provoked. His eyes turned bloodshot. He had intended to hit her again, but looking at Emilia’s shameless demeanor changed his mind. He stepped forward and yanked her hair to force her to look up. “You think you’re worthy of being my wife?”That night, Gael humiliated Emilia several
Gael and Emilia were at odds with each other on their wedding night. However, Yanni and Keaton were sweet and loving. Keaton brought Yanni and Ella back to the villa. As night fell, the car slowly came to a stop. The lights at the entrance were bright, and the sparse falling snow was as fine as dust. Keaton stepped out of the car, and half of his face was bathed in the blinding white light, making his features appear even more striking and sharp.He walked to the side of the car and opened the rear door, bending slightly to peer inside. Ella was sleeping and leaning on Yanni’s shoulder. The car was warm, and the little girl’s cheeks were glowing with a soft pink warmth."Still asleep?" Keaton asked, but his gaze remained fixed on Yanni.Yanni responded softly, "Yeah."Keaton reached over effortlessly and gently picked up Ella. The little girl was half-asleep, and she woke up briefly as she lay on Keaton's shoulder. However, the moment she caught the familiar and comforting scen
Yanni didn’t respond. She felt a mix of sweetness and a hint of embarrassment. It was because Keaton clearly treated her like Ella, even though she was actually two years older than him.Keaton seemed to sense her thoughts. He turned to grasp her hand gently and said softly, “Ella’s asleep. Let’s go to my room.”Yanni didn’t put on any pretense. She and Keaton had essentially committed to a lifelong partnership, and their families were aware of it. Besides, Yanni was a mature woman. Coming back to the villa with Keaton tonight made it clear what would happen next.A minute later, Yanni followed Keaton into the master bedroom next door. His master bedroom was about 970 square feet, complete with a large walk-in closet and a study. The bathroom was decorated in a vintage style that Yanni liked. Keaton explained lightly, “I thought about how you might occasionally stay overnight, so I remodeled it to your preferred style.” His thoughtfulness always brought joy to her.As Yanni exp
In the early morning, Yanni was awakened by Keaton's kiss. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw him looking fresh and clean in a white tracksuit. Beads of sweat glistened on his brows. It seemed like he had been exercising in the home gym for quite some time.Yanni couldn't help but think about how Keaton had been sweating profusely several times last night. Wasn't he tired? The thought made Yanni blush. Keaton seemed to guess what she was thinking. He leaned against the headboard and smiled gently. He reached out to caress her alluring cheeks and murmured, “What made you think I had enough?”Yanni dared not listen any further and feigned indifference. “I have to get up for work.” As she began to sit up, Keaton gently pressed down her arms.Keaton's grip wasn't strong. It was more imbued with affection. His gaze was deep and loving. “The snow hasn't stopped all night, and there's a layer of fresh snow outside. Do you want to take a day off?”Yanni looked outside. The world
Yanni laughed sarcastically, “Isn’t this your own choice, Gael? How many times have we fought because of Emilia? Also, how many times have you neglected to come home because of Emilia? Now, you’ve finally married her. So, why aren’t you satisfied?”Besides, Yanni had reminded Gael to investigate thoroughly before making any commitments. However, he insisted on going his own way. At that time, Gael had countered Yanni's concerns by asking why she always targeted Emilia. What more could Yanni say? Everything was willingly accepted by Gael.After finishing, Yanni tried to push Gael away. However, Gael wouldn’t let go, and he still trapped her body. His gaze shifted from hatred to gentle warmth, as if the two of them had returned to their best times. His voice was hoarse, “Let’s start over, Yanni.”Yanni stared at Gael as if he were a lunatic. After a long pause, she managed to squeeze out a sentence. “If you’re sick, go get treated, Gael. Don’t go crazy in front of me! We’re divorc
Yanni received a package at 5:00 pm. When Nylah handed it over, she wore a mysterious expression. “It's a same-city delivery from Mr. Keaton, Ms. Yanni. I bet it’s a super sexy nightgown inside!”Yanni was quite speechless. “What on earth do you think about all day?” As she opened the box, it turned out not to be a sexy nightgown at all, but a bank transfer slip. The sender was Keaton, and the amount was an astonishing 9.6 billion dollars.Nylah stood beside her, and she was stunned. “Ms. Yanni, this… Mr. Keaton is really generous, isn’t he?”…Yanni knew about the money in advance, but she was still stunned. Even for a wealthy family like the Lockwood family, producing hundreds of millions of dollars was no small feat, especially as a generous gift from someone like Keaton.Last time, Keaton had referred to it as a wedding gift.Wedding gift, he said.Yanni couldn’t help but think back to when she married Gael. The wedding gift he had given was two million dollars, which was a
