Chapter 1294
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

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
Chapter 1299
Yanni was momentarily stunned. Keaton gave her a gentle tug, and she fell right into his arms. The window in the study was open, and the temperature wasn’t high. So, Keaton’s body wasn’t particularly warm, but the places where he embraced Yanni quickly became warm. Keaton didn’t do anything else. He merely buried his face in the back of Yanni’s neck, holding her close for a long, long time. After a while, Keaton's voice came out hoarse. "Yanni. I honestly don’t know what would have happened if it weren’t for you today. Maybe Denise would have taken Ella away directly." Yanni sensed a rare vulnerability in him. She understood that a man like Keaton rarely revealed such emotions. Ella had become irreplaceable in his life, but she didn’t feel jealous. Yanni understood this kind of bond where people rely on each other. Noah had once shared such a connection with Holly, and she had experienced it with Gwynn too.Yanni slowly held Keaton’s head, gently stroking his black hair.

Chapter 1301
Jamie pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth, feeling a sense of determination. It was good timing. He had something he wanted to ask Paityn, and not addressing it directly would keep him restless at night. Paityn had come over to drop off some things for Tegan, specifically gifts for the little one, Lola. As she opened the car door and stepped out, her eyes immediately fell on Jamie. Jamie stood in the courtyard in his black hunting outfit, blending seamlessly with the twilight around him. Paityn had to tilt her head back to see him clearly. All she could make out were the sharp contours of his features, radiating an air of distance. That was right. Jamie exuded an air of distance. They hadn’t parted on good terms. For a long time, they had avoided even the smallest greeting whenever they crossed paths in the business world. Jamie was no longer the type to press Paityn about why they couldn’t be together, as he had done in the past. Everything was her choice, and
