Chapter 445
Gwynn’s face turned pale. Lowering her head, she traced across her belly with her lean fingers. It was unbelievable. She was pregnant and the first thing her husband asked was if it was his baby.Who else could’ve impregnated her? Did he think Maddox was the father of her baby?In the past couple of years, she had fallen head over heels for Noah, as if she was under his spell. As time went by, however, she began to realize that he didn’t love her in the least. It was made especially clear when she saw the picture of him hugging and kissing another lady.She wasn’t a fool. She also did her own investigations into the past. Liam’s assistant hadn’t been forthright with her back then. All she said was for her to stay away from Noah because he was anything but decent and he saw her brother as his arch-enemy. Not only did she get closer to him, but she even got married to him a year ago. Gwynn didn’t explain herself to him. Curling up herself, she bent downward slightly, as
Chapter 446
He didn’t give a damn that she was pregnant and had sex with her very roughly.Creaking noises escaped the soft bed as he repeatedly thrust into her. It was so intense that the painting above the headboard fell off its hook, but he simply swatted it aside before holding her hips and kept thrusting into her with a vengeance.No… It hurts…Tears welled up in her eyes and blurred her vision.The worst thing he had done this far was give her cold shoulder. He had never been this brutal with her!He was forcing himself on her like a man possessed!Not only did he thrust into her down there, but he also used every part of her body, fully intent on driving her crazy… The way he had sex with her was so nasty and mortifying. How was Gwynn, someone who had lived a sheltered life, supposed to take it?Sometime later, she passed out in tears…Noah noticed it and stopped in his tracks.Pulling his manhood out of her, he lay down next to her and covered his eyes. Panting heavily, he repla
Chapter 447
Noah regarded Maddox wordlessly. The young man was beaten up so badly, but it did nothing to diminish his refined good looks. Chuckling lightly, he murmured repeatedly, “Held hands, have you? With which filthy hand did you hold hers?” Rising, he picked up a baseball bat. Maddox raised his eyes and glared at him. He couldn’t believe this was how Gwynn’s husband was. She was so slender and fragile, while Noah was so cruel and violent.Gritting his teeth, the young man said, “We’re just friends! You might own her body, but you’ll never own her mind. She’ll never be yours. Believe me when I say she’ll break free from you someday.”Picking up the document, he read it. A philosophy student?Snorting, he slipped his hands into a pair of white gloves and put on a pair of safety goggles. Instead of wasting another word on Maddox, he swung the bat at him.A minute later, both of Maddox’s hands were ruined. A bloodcurdling scream filled the air. Lowering his gaze, Noah smiled fa
Chapter 448
“Noah!”Zoe jolted awake. She opened her eyes and it was pitch-black in her room. She just had a nightmare about Noah and Gwynn. At first, he treated his wife well, but they ended things on a sour note. They were going through the same thing as her and Mason, painful and miserable.Sitting up, she curled up and held herself. She was still trembling to this moment. The dream felt too real. All of a sudden, someone held her shoulders. Raising her eyes, she saw Mason in the darkness. He was wearing a bathrobe and sitting in a wheelchair. If it wasn’t for the wheelchair, she wouldn’t have been able to tell that there was anything unusual about him.His voice was gentle. “Yanni’s going to be fine very soon!”“I know that,” she murmured. Raising her head, she looked at him with a silent plea. She needed to hug him now.The tough act she put up in daylight had all but come undone at this moment.This was the first time she behaved like this. Her voice was both soft and broken. “Can
Chapter 449
She wanted to know if he was telling the truth or bluffing her.Mason stared right back at her. They knew each other very well because they had been married for several years. That was why she knew he still had feelings for her. She was sure of it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to Kirk Manor, had sex with him, and held onto him so tightly.The truth was that she couldn’t take it anymore after the first couple of rounds. However, she pushed herself to go on just so she could satisfy him.She wouldn’t have done that if she didn’t love him from the bottom of his heart.Mason felt sorry for himself. They loved each other but they could never get the timing right. In the past, Zoe loved him. Then, she grew disillusioned and stopped loving him over time. After that, it was his turn to fall in love with her. Now, however, they couldn’t love each other. Every time he got his hopes up, one glance at his busted legs was more than enough to kill his dreams of getting back together w
Chapter 450
She looked at the kids from the rear-view mirror, swapped glances with Mia, and smiled faintly.Fifteen minutes later, a car pulled into the private route leading to her manor. As it was coming closer to the place, she saw that it was a black Land Rover. A man got out of the car. It was Liam. She didn’t say anything, but she wore a nonchalant expression. Mia, however, couldn’t hold her temper in check and exploded, “How dare he show up here?! He has done enough to tear up our entire family. Why does he still show his face around us?”Zoe hadn’t had the chance to tell her stepmother about Noah and Gwynn. Now that Liam was here, she thought perhaps she should fill her in. “Noah married his sister, Gwynn, a year ago. She was only twenty-one years old.”Mia was completely stunned.After a brief moment, she came to her senses and said, “That’s not possible! We were also staying in Silvercrest for the past year. How did he manage to keep such a huge thing from us? Are you sure Liam
Chapter 451
Liam also kept dreaming about Zoe. As time went by, he came to realize that he wasn’t taking pity on her. Instead, he missed her. He reminisced about the moments when she stood in front of him and told him how tragic her marriage was, sounding heartbroken and looking all vulnerable. He missed it when she used to regard him with trusting eyes. That was why he’d pay her a visit whenever he went on a work trip to Silvercrest. He even sent Gwynn to Silvercrest Art College so that he could have another good reason to visit Zoe. All they ever did was have a meal together or have a cup of coffee, but that was good enough for him!Now, however, all of that was lost to him. It didn’t matter how much he loved her, he was simply undeserving of her. After all, his love was despicable and tainted.…Zoe walked back into her manor. Mia was playing with the kids. Hearing footsteps, she raised her eyes to look at Zoe, who was slipping out of her shoes at the door. She said to her stepmo
Chapter 452
Zoe went upstairs by herself.She had only gone to the eastern master bedroom on the second floor. Opening the door, she crossed the private lounge and walked into the bedroom. There were no wedding photos above the headboard. The bedroom lacked any of a young lady’s usual belongings. There was only a small canvas on the couch. It was only half-done, but she could tell from the features that it was a portrait of Noah. There were only some lady’s clothes in the fitting room. What was weird was that there were even fewer men’s clothes in there!Touching the fine fabric of the lady’s clothes, she could already tell that Noah hadn’t been treating Gwynn well. Otherwise, why would there only be a few clothes when they’ve supposedly lived together for a year?She didn’t stay there for too long. After she had looked around, she went downstairs slowly. Kim was visibly unnerved when she came down.She asked, “Am I right in saying that Noah doesn’t come here frequently?”Kim didn’t l
