Chapter 482
Then, Yanni was astonished to find that her dad was holding the knife with his right hand. Wasn’t her dad’s right hand busted?She might’ve been a six-year-old, but she did a good job at keeping the question to herself. Lowering her head, she continued to eat her dinner. Exhilarated over the revelation, she helped herself to four bread rolls and half of the casserole. She even put two pieces of grilled salmon on Jamie’s plate.'I hate salmon!' The little boy thought to himself.After dinner, Mason brought both of his kids upstairs. Jamie played with his toys on the floor while Yanni did her homework under her dad’s guidance.Mason had graduated from a renowned college and commanded an abundance of knowledge in various subjects. So, she was growing more and more impressed with him by the second.Then, she stuck her pencil into her father’s hand.Glancing at the pencil in his right hand, he proceeded to turn his gaze to Yanni. His little girl might’ve been six years old, but she
Chapter 483
Gwynn’s privacy was not so much about looking after her as it was about keeping a watchful eye on her. The poor lady didn’t have any freedom except for when Noah was in the villa. He might’ve given her a wealthy life and bought her the most expensive clothes, but she was nothing but a puppet to him. This was the first time Zoe had seen Gwynn. Her sister-in-law was much younger and more petite than she had imagined. She had fair skin and her features were as defined as they were fragile, giving off a sense of delicate beauty.It was the middle of the night and she was wearing a silk robe while she played the piano. Her sleepwear hung loosely on her dainty frame, masking the fact that she was six months pregnant.Noah was sitting on a couch next to the piano, still wearing his work shirt and long pants. He had a laptop on his knee, keeping a watch on his wife while he worked.At that moment, it almost looked like everything was as well as it could be.Zoe called out to him so

At that moment, Gladys brought over some homemade pizza, but Zoe didn’t eat any of it. Staring at Noah intensely, she couldn’t help but think about how much he had changed. Her lips trembled as she asked him, “Are you doing this to her just because you want to take revenge on Liam?”“That’s right!”A depressed chuckle escaped her. “You won’t admit that you love Gwynn and I know why! The moment you do, you’ll be flooded by guilt and sorrow because you singlehandedly ruined her!”She was disheartened.She knew better than anyone that it was easy to lie to everyone else, but there was no way he could lie to his own heart. She believed that he, too, was suffering greatly.In fact, she had no intention of staying the night. Lifting her suitcase, she said, “My assistant’s waiting for me outside! You can run, Noah, but you can’t hide forever!”With that, she turned around and left. She could hear Noah shouting at her from behind. “Zoe!” Stopping in her tracks, she said softly with

Gwynn froze. The footsteps behind her drew closer. Then, she felt a hand on her lean shoulders.Noah was looking at Zoe, whose car had driven off into the distance. He squinted and asked, “What are you looking at, Gwynn?”Crouching, he raised his lean fingers and pinched her chin.She raised her head and bit her lips while tears filled her eyes. “You guys were so loud!”The next thing he knew, she threw herself into his arms. She was already six months pregnant but she weighed less than a hundred and ten pounds. She was completely pressed against his body and her scent was subtly calling out to the beast within him. They had not done it ever since the tragedy with Maddox. The way Gwynn was now, she was practically a little girl. Noah knew clearly that he didn’t have that kind of kink. Given the fact that they were legally married and she had the appearance of a mature adult, he could easily do it with her, but he never did. Until tonight. It could’ve been because he was d

However, Noah was distracted. Zoe’s words kept ringing in his head. “Would you have let her get pregnant with your baby if you didn’t love her?”There was no way he’d fallen in love with Gwynn.He had always loved more mature women who knew how to carry themselves in a delicate situation. Gwynn, on the other hand, was basically a little girl in all but appearance. What was so good about her?Just as he was dozing off, he repeated to himself.“I’m not in love with Gwynn.”…The moment Zoe got into her car, John leaned over and asked, “Are we going to the hotel now, Ms. Zoe?”She was downhearted. Leaning back on the leather seat, she said softly, “We’ll stay for a night. I want you to book a flight to Silvercrest first thing in the morning.”That surprised him. However, his professional work ethic came first. He knew his boundaries and didn’t overstep them by asking her questions. The only thing he did was text her the flight details after they checked into the hotel. T
Chapter 487
Maddox sat on the couch and stared at Zoe. He didn’t know her, but she and Noah did look alike, so he could just deduce who she was. A fire was burning in his eyes, but he toned it down in front of his mother. “What do you want?”John was about to say something, but Zoe stopped him. Instead, she merely sat next to Maddox and looked at his busted hands. After a brief moment, she said softly, “Gwynn asked me to look after you.”His eyes widened in astonishment.Staring at her with unblinking eyes, he managed to find his voice after a long time. “How is she? Did Noah torture her?”He knew from firsthand experience how cruel that man could be. Pondering on it for a while, she decided to tell him parts of the truth. “She’s pregnant! With my brother’s baby, of course. You should put her behind you, Maddox. It’ll make your life easier!”Then, a tear fell from his eyes.He knew he shouldn’t have behaved the way he did, but he lost his cool. Raising his head slightly, he said, “He
Chapter 488
As Lila’s car drove out of the parking lot, Zoe turned around to look for her car. That was when a black limousine flashed its light at her.…Squirting, she saw Mason sitting in the backseat.Luke got out of the car and jogged lightly towards her. “Mr. Mason has been waiting for you for a long time, Ms. Zoe. He’s waiting for you to have dinner at his place! Yanni and Jamie are there too.”She was quite speechless at Mason’s action. This was childish of him.Then, she asked Luke, “What about my car? I parked it here.”Scratching his head, Luke said sheepishly, “Your car was already driven away and parked in the manor!”It didn’t seem like she had much choice.Flat out of options, she walked towards the black limousine, opened the door, and got into it. Mason was sitting in the car calmly. He merely nodded gently at her and ordered Luke, “Take us home!”Luke stepped on the gas pedal and the car drove out of the parking lot and cruised on the road. It was quiet in the car. Zoe
Chapter 489
At that moment, Zoe burst into tears. Held in his embrace, she leaned on his shoulder and buried her face in his black overcoat, looking fair and graceful. On top of that, he held a fast grip on her waist. Her hips were pressed tightly against his groin as she wrapped her arms around him. Her tears proceeded to drench his coat on the neck area. It felt wet, warm, and uncomfortable, but he didn't care. All he wanted was to hug her at that moment.It was the first time in a long time since they had held each other in this way.It was much longer since they had embraced each other under the glow of the sun. They had only ever hugged each other in the dark of night when no one could see them. In them, there lay a sorrow and bitterness that only both of them knew. They had sought physical pleasure from each other a lot of times, but it always seemed their intimacy could last no longer than one night. Lowering his head, he stared into her eyes. His voice was husky and gentle wh
