Chapter 1291
It was a dismal scene when Denise was driven away.Ella leaned against Yanni’s embrace, and she pressed her little face against the latter's body as she absorbed the scent of her. Although Ella had never been held by her biological mother, she felt that this was the smell of a mother at that very moment.Ella clung tightly to Yanni and refused to let go. The latter gently stroked the former. Then, Yanni greeted Gustavo and Susan, “Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Bright.”Gustavo and Susan exchanged glances. He managed to maintain some restraint, but she could hardly contain her joy. The Bright family had finally found Denise’s nemesis. Susan looked at Yanni with the affection of a mother-in-law toward her daughter-in-law. She became more and more delighted the longer she gazed at the latter.…The snow had stopped. The early morning sun shone through the thin mist, illuminating the snow like diamonds and draping the cold world in a golden cloak. It was lively and bustling inside the main hou
Chapter 1292
Yanni was getting married after all. Gael couldn't focus on work for an entire morning. He was fixated on that photo. He had no interest in answering even when Emilia called. After all, Gael had connected with Yanni. He wasn’t worried about Emilia's reaction. He just needed to wait for Carter to come out and undermine the wretched bitch.The office door was gently pushed open, and Grace entered. She sensed Gael's bad mood and cautiously said, “There’s a Ms. Denise who wants to see you, Mr. Gael.”Who was Denise? Gael initially had no intention of meeting anyone. His mind was elsewhere. However, Grace added, “She says she is Keaton’s sister-in-law.”Was Denise that bastard's sister-in-law as well as Ella's mother?Gael felt a flicker of interest. He wanted to see her and compare her to Emilia. That would help him figure out what common traits such venomous homewreckers possessed. So, he replied in a calm voice, “Please let her in.”Denise had come with genuine intentions. She was

The door to the director's office creaked open, and Emilia stood at the entrance. Her mind exploded with disbelief. She couldn't believe her eyes. Gael was with a beautiful young woman, who was half-leaning over the desk, and he was engaging in an intimate interaction. Anyone with half a brain could see what was happening.Emilia felt entitled as Gael's legitimate wife. She marched forward to confront Denise by grabbing the latter by the hair and yanking her away from the desk with fierce determination. Two sharp slaps rang out echoed in the office as they landed crisply on Denise's stunning face. “You shameless harlot!” Emilia yelled furiously.Denise was dazed by the unexpected blows. She took a moment to regain her senses. Before she could react, Emilia dragged her to the wall, gripping her hair tightly and slamming her against it. “Do you not have a husband? How dare you seduce another woman’s husband in broad daylight! I’m going to teach you a lesson today, you shameless s

After Grace finished cleaning up the director's office, she returned to the office and saw Gael staring blankly at a wedding ring. She had sharp eyesight and recognized it as the one that Yanni used to wear. She couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions and called out, "Mr. Gael."Gael didn’t look up and continued to gaze at the diamond ring. He softly asked, "It was my own doing, wasn’t it? I lost someone as wonderful as Yanni."Grace could only sigh. She couldn't have answered that question.…As night fell, Gael finished his social engagements. He didn't want to go home, and he didn’t want to return to that house filled with memories of Yanni, especially since it was now occupied by Emilia. He had no desire to see Emilia at all.Gael didn’t drive. Instead, he walked through the quiet and dimly lit streets of the night. His loneliness was only accompanied by the cigarette between his fingertips, but even that was better than facing Emilia.There was a private male clinic besid

Yanni loved Gael, but that love was no longer there.The silver Bentley sliced through the night, passing under the yellowed streetlights as it slowly drove away from Gael. As far as Yanni was concerned, this brief moment felt like a walk through their seven years of marriage—the good, the bad, the sweet, and the bitter... all of it.She had seen Gael chasing after her, but what difference would it make if the car stopped? A few polite exchanges?They truly weren't suited for each other. This kind of cooperation was the best outcome now. At least they hadn’t become eternal enemies. As for whether Gael was suffering, it was no longer her concern. He chose all of these.However, there was still a blockage in her heart. It lingered until she drove back to the apartment and turned on the hallway light.As Yanni was about to hang up her coat, her phone buzzed in her pocket. She picked it up to see a WhatsApp message from Keaton."My mom prepared some handmade pizza, and I brought a

Yanni finished work early at 4:00 pm. She mentioned to Nylah that she wanted to take a two-day leave, and the latter was delighted. “You should have taken a break a long time ago, Ms. Yanni. You’re always busy and have very little personal time.” Yanni smiled lightly. She changed out of her white lab coat into casual clothes. Then, she went downstairs to her silver Bentley. Yanni checked the time and realized that Keaton was in a meeting. So, she didn’t want to disturb him. Instead, she drove directly to the prestigious kindergarten where Ella was enrolled, which had excellent facilities. The weather was great, and the setting sun cast a golden glow in the evening. Half an hour later, Yanni parked her car at the kindergarten gate. She used WhatsApp to contact Ella's class teacher, asking if they could bring Ella to the entrance, or if she could go in to pick him up herself.Half a minute later, the class teacher called, and her voice was laced with confusion. “Ms. Yanni, Ell
Chapter 1297
Keaton and Yanni left with Ella, but Denise chased after them. As dusk fell, the fading light concealed her exhaustion, but it could not hide her guilt. Denise's voice trembled slightly as she cried out, “I am her mother, Keaton!”Keaton’s body stiffened for a moment. After a brief pause, he opened the backseat door and turned to Yanni. He spoke softly, “Take Ella into the car first.”Yanni understood that Keaton intended to confront Denise personally. She didn’t spare Denise another glance, Instead, she simply held Ella as she got into the car. She locked eyes with Keaton through the glass for about ten seconds before he turned away.Keaton looked at Denise through the night. His gaze was heavy. “Mother? Do you even deserve to be called one?”Denise realized the gravity of her situation. After today, it would be nearly impossible to get close to Ella. She suspected Keaton would take Ella abroad. So, she softened her tone. “I am still Callan’s wife, Keaton. Ella is the product

Once Ella returned home, they hugged her gently, ensuring she felt safe and loved. Susan took the little girl to the bathroom and meticulously washed her small hands with a fragrant soap that was shaped like a yellow duck. Ella smelled delightful afterward.Ella was naturally cheerful and quick to forget grievances. Soom, she was cheered up under Susan's care. When they emerged from the bathroom, the latter carried the former to the dining table, only to notice that Keaton was missing.Yanni served Ella a small bowl of warm French oxtail soup. It was perfect for the latter. She turned to Susan and said, “Keaton mentioned he was going to the study to handle some matters.” Susan knew her son well. She sensed there was more to the situation but decided to keep her thoughts to herself. Instead, she let out a soft sigh. “Let’s eat first, then,” Susan r
