Chapter 731
Noah read the article six times. There was a picture of the attached to the end of the article. He was a famous obstetrician and he looked very familiar.He fixed his gaze at the picture. It took him about two minutes before he figured out who this was. This doctor used to do checkups for Gwynn!He hadn't been at the checkup and thus didn't receive the checkup results firsthand. Gwynn had told him that their unborn baby was developing well in her womb. He trusted her back then.Now, however, it seemed that there was more to it than that.…Rising immediately, he walked over to the door and put on a coat. Taking the car keys, he was about to head out when Gianna yelled at him, “Where are you going at this time of night? It's freezing outside and the roads are icy. Are you trying to get yourself killed?”She chased after him and grabbed his arm. “Are you off to see her? She’s gone! She’s never coming back! You’re the one who asked for a divorce and chose to be with me instead.

At the next moment, he opened the wardrobe where Gwynn kept her stuff. All of the expensive clothes and jewelry he gave her were gone. Not even a single piece was left. There were only a few sleeping gowns there. She had worn them before. He remembered that she wore them as she lay beneath him on the nights that they had sex.…That must’ve been why she didn’t take them with her!Closing the wardrobe, he walked over to the side of the bed and sat down. Pulling out a cigarette from his front pocket slowly, he lit it and took a leisurely drag. Wisps of smoke rose and blurred his vision. He knew that Gwynn wasn’t a materialistic lady. She’d never have brought all of the stuff with her. That left only one possible conclusion. She sold everything!Holding the white cigarette between his fingers, he lifted his chin slightly and took the last drag. Lowering his head, he intended to snuff out the cigarette when he caught something out of the corner of his eye. The nightstand’s

“Gwynn still retains her conscience!“That’s how she’s different from the likes of us.”…Kim finally gave him a piece of her mind. Now, she was merely waiting for her director to dish out his punishment. After all, she played a central role the tragedy of Gianna losing of her left foot and uterus. She helped Gwynn make it happen. She would probably be fired. Noah stared at her quietly. After a brief moment, he picked up the packet of cigarettes from the desk, pulled one out, and lit it up leisurely. He said ever so slowly, “Redeem yourself, Kim! Find the doctor and bring him to me before dawn!”She felt a lump in her throat. “Understood, Mr. Noah!”Then, she left the villa in the dark of night.She knew just how bad of a temper he had. If he was really pissed at her, then she might not have lived to see tomorrow. After all, she was no Gianna. He wasn’t about to show her mercy. Being the efficient assistant that she was, she brought the Gerlandian doctor to the villa just

In the morning, Noah returned to the villa where Gianna was staying.He didn’t want to alert Gianna to his presence. All he wanted to do was retrieve his passport in the study and leave. However, she was waiting for him at the door after he got the passport and was about to leave. She was holding a mug in her hand and her face was grim. “It’s still so early. Where do you think you’re going?” she questioned him. He was a strong-willed man, to begin with. He liked ladies who were tender and accepting. Once Gianna stopped being that and became hysterical instead, he had all but lost his patience for her.Looking at her, he said coldly, “What right do you have to be questioning me?”That stunned her. Glancing at the passport in his hand, she realized what he was doing. She had to shove her anger down to prevent herself from exploding. “You promised me a future, Noah.”He asked her back, “When did I promise that?” Then, he decided to put the cards on the table. “You’re right. I’

Gianna couldn’t help but wonder if he was on something. How else would he have the seemingly endless stamina for sex?She couldn’t stop Noah from leaving. So, she had no choice but to take her frustration out on the servants. However, the servants were all quick-witted. They sensed something was wrong and holed up somewhere she couldn’t find them. With no one to unleash her anger on, she made her way into the master bedroom. Then, she took Noah’s outfits from the wardrobe and hurled them on the floor. Using a pair of sharp scissors, she cut them into ribbons. She was in the middle of it when she suddenly burst into tears and cried her heart out.…Noah took a flight back to Zutriystein. However, Gwynn wasn’t in Silvercrest, nor was she in Brookesville. Dressed in a three-piece suit, he sat on the chair in his office in the Sanders Group office. Looking elegant as he leaned back on his chair, he said menacingly, “I want an explanation. Why didn’t Gwynn take the flight to Si

Kim looked at him. “What are you going to do, Mr. Noah?”He stared at her profoundly. After a brief moment, he dropped the knife and fork before he wiped his lips with a napkin. Then, he pulled out a phone from his front pocket. He made a call and passed it to her. “This call ought to refresh your memory about Gwynn’s location.”With trembling hands, she took the phone and put it over her ear.“We’re collecting shells by the beach, Mommy!“Mr. Noah sent someone to bring us here.“He even bought each of us a swimming tube. Tomorrow, we’re going to look for crabs too…”…Kim responded to her kids numbly. After she hung up the phone, she fell limp on her seat. She knew just how cruel he could be. If she continued to clam up on Gwynn’s whereabouts, then he might actually hurt her kids. Her face turned pale as she asked, “What do you think you’re doing, Mr. Noah? They’re just kids. Please, you have to let them go. This is between us. They’re not a part of this. I’ve worked for

Gladys said, “We could live about ten lifetimes here with the money we have.”Gwynn merely chuckled. They needed to constantly be on the move. Three months. That was the longest they could stay here. They had to fly away again if they wanted to stay safe. Both of them spent a long time unpacking the shopping bags.Lorian came over and said he wanted to play outside. Gladys loved the little boy a lot. “I’ll stay back and keep an eye on Holly! You should go ahead and take him outside, Ms. Gwynn! Boys his age love to play whenever they get the chance.”Gwynn responded, “Just call me by my name! I’m no longer married to a wealthy man, after all.”The old servant disagreed. “I work for you, Ms. Gwynn! It doesn’t sound right if I just call you by your name. Old habits die hard.”Gwynn let the matter rest at that.Then, she took her son out to play. There was a path in front of her small villa that was lined up with elm trees on either side. It was a long path and suitable for a k
Chapter 738
Lorian was still too young to understand what was going on in the adult’s lives.He was simply excited to see his father. He grinned from ear to ear, revealing his white teeth. He looked so adorable. He even stuck out his short hands, held Noah’s neck tightly, and said affectionately, “I missed you, Daddy.”Noah felt a lump in his throat. Pressing his forehead against Lorian’s, he murmured, “Oh, my silly boy.”Picking up Lorian’s bicycle in one hand, he carried his son in another and walked toward the house. He hadn’t walked for a few more steps before he looked at her and asked gently, “Aren't you coming?”Gwynn stood beneath the elm trees. Sunlight shone through the cracks in the leaves and fell on her, but it was doing nothing to warm her heart. If Lorian wasn’t here, she probably would’ve lost her cool and questioned him. Why wouldn’t he let her go? Why would he hunt her to the ends of the earth?He was the one who said he’d set her free. However, he had Lorian within
