“What’s on your mind?” Gwynn looked relaxed. “I miss Lorian! When are you bringing him over? I don’t feel good, leaving him all alone in Silvercrest!”Noah put a cigarette between his lips, but he didn’t light it up.Brushing her neck tenderly, he smiled. “Gladys is there. So, what are you worried about? Anyway, he’s going to come here soon enough. Lorian will be here in a week, max. Then, our family will finally be reunited.”He wanted to plant a kiss on her, but she ducked out of the way. He knew what she was thinking. Holding her in his arms, he nibbled on her delicate ear and murmured sultrily, “I didn’t sleep with her. I could do without spending my energy and effort elsewhere. I had to take care of something because I had to settle some matters there!“You can touch me there if you don’t believe me, Gwynn. You can tell if a guy has had sex just by touching it.”Gwynn grumbled softly, “How shameless.”He chuckled and changed the topic. “The summer solstice is in a couple

Dolores hesitated a little. However, Gwynn gave her a look and she went quiet immediately. Something was different about her mistress. Gwynn used to be a naive, innocent girl. It wasn’t as if she was fierce now or anything. On the contrary, she was still as gentle and soft as ever. It was just that there was something uniquely different about her eyes. Her mistress gave off an air of chilling authority now. Grabbing a scarf, she went downstairs leisurely to square off with Gianna by herself. …Gwynn and Noah’s apartment was located in an upscale neighborhood in Birkenfeld, the capital city of Gerlandia. There were quite a lot of Zutriysteinians in the area too. So, almost all apartments were decorated for the summer solstice in any way they could. However, the merry sight cast a stark contrast against Gianna, making her seem all the more lonely. It was rather cold tonight. Be that as it may, Gianna wore nothing but a dress, looking like a seductive spirit in the black of

Noah filled up his car with expensive gifts and had them brought up to his living room in the apartment.Gwynn didn’t even bat an eye at them. She soothed Holly and passed her to Dolores to carry her back to the bedroom, as she usually did. Only then did she sit on the couch and casually unwrap two of the gifts. As expected, they were expensive pieces of jewelry.She immediately lost interest in unwrapping the rest of them.Noah sat across the table, gave a sidelong glance at the expensive diamond necklace, and asked lightly, “Don’t you like it?” She shook her head gently. Running her hands across her flat belly, she said softly, “That’s not the point! I’m not that superficial, Noah. Compared with these pieces of jewelry, I’d much prefer some cash.“I remember that I didn’t really want to use the bank card Liam gave me or ask you for cash back when we were still living in Silvercrest. So, I never dared to go on social outings. Sometimes, I don’t even have enough cash on me to

Noah gulped. At that moment, he genuinely wanted to put Gianna behind him and let the woman die. That way, he could live out the rest of his life with Gwynn in peace.However, he left the hospital in the end.He couldn’t brush away the image of a helpless Gianna being ravaged by the three scumbags!Gwynn watched as he left. After a brief moment, she went back into the consultation room and sat before the Gerlandian doctor. She looked at him in a daze and said in a trembling voice. “Can you please repeat what you just said, doc?”The doctor sympathized with her very much. He showed her the results of the scan and said in a gentle voice, “The fetus’s heart didn’t develop properly. I suggest you terminate your pregnancy now if you want to show your baby some mercy.”She stared at the scan and fell into a trance. Her fetus’s heart didn’t develop properly, he said…Tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at him and asked, “Is it going to cause my baby much pain if his or her h

Noah returned to the apartment on the third morning. He went into the apartment and was changing his shoes when Dolores came over and whispered, “Ms. Gwynn kept crying by herself for the past two days, Mr. Noah! I’m worried sick about her.”He paused momentarily. Then, he took off his coat and walked into the bedroom.A streak of sunlight shone gently into the bedroom through the curtains and fell onto the white bed sheet. Holly was snuggled up in Gwynn’s embrace and slept, her cheeks looking as rosy as ever.He sat on the side of the bed.Then, Gwynn woke up. She looked at him quietly and noticed his stubble that he hadn’t had time to shave. After that, her eyes rested on the shirt he had worn three days ago. Noah often put a lot of thought into his outfit. He’d make sure he changed his attire once every day.However, he didn’t bother to change out of his shirt for three whole days because he had to stay by Gianna’s side. Clearly, the lady mattered very much to him. Her p

Gwynn took her time with the sour candies.Noah stood there for a long time, but she didn’t pay him any attention. She merely gave him the cold shoulder. However, the colder she was to him, the more he wanted to get close to her. He went into the bathroom for a shower and came out wearing nothing but a bathrobe. Sitting next to her, he held her by the waist. She pried his hands off of her. That made him chuckle lightly. Leaning on the couch, he pulled out a cigar and held it between his fingers. He didn’t light it up, though. He merely wanted to sniff its scent. Casting a glance at Gwynn, he spoke as if they were a normal married couple. “One of the prominent families in Birkenfeld is going to hold a wedding next month. Rumor has it that they’re going to make it big. “Even the Eldorian royalty is going to be there. I want you to attend the ceremony with me. Think of it as a chance to lift your spirits a little!” She was enjoying her sour candies, but her fingers trembled for

Night rolled on and all of the servants went to sleep. The kids were asleep too. Gwynn didn’t have time to take a bath until the middle of the night. She was applying skincare when Noah couldn’t help but get down from the bed, hold her, and sniff the back of her neck lightly. His voice was husky when he said, “You’ve been at it for a long time! Let me help you!”Then, she handed him a bottle of essential oil. His palms traveled her entire body, touching her in places that were fine to be touched and otherwise. Leaning on his chest, she shut her eyes gently and looked like she was relaxed. She spoke to him as if their marriage was normal. “The apartment fits the few of us quite nicely. However, Gladys and Lorian are here now. I don’t think it’ll fit anymore!“Gladys helped me a lot back in the day. So, the last thing I wanted to do is to treat her poorly. It simply wouldn’t do to let her share a room with someone else.”She opened her eyes and stared at him.Taking the bot

Putting her sunglasses back on, Gwynn flashed her a smile. Then, she walked toward the villa door. It was afternoon and the sun was shining brightly, but Kim felt a chill down her spine. Staring at Gwynn’s straight, slender back, she couldn’t help but ask, “Do you still love Mr. Noah, even just a little?”Gwynn stopped in her tracks for a second, but she didn’t turn around. Pondering on it, she gave Kim a definite answer. “Not at all!”With that, she left the villa. There was a black limousine at the gate. A tall Gerlandian chauffeur was already holding the door open for her. Getting into the car, she sat up straight. The black limousine cruised on the streets of Birkenfeld. Rays of sunlight shone into the car from time to time. It was so quiet in there that it felt just like when they dated for the first time all the way back.Noah and she sat in the limousine back then. She remembered how her heart raced when he held her hand!It had only been several years and they had
