Chapter 786
The young man looked like he was about twenty-two years old. He was dressed in a white shirt, looking refined and handsome. He was sitting next to Archibald, looking like the most well-behaved young man in the world. Noah had seen the video clip. He knew better than anyone that the young man was the furthest thing from being well-behaved. Suppressing his violent nature, he flashed Archibald a faint smile. “I was made aware that you wanted to see me, Mr. Archibald! What are the odds? I also need you to preside over some matters and announce your verdict.”Putting down his cup of tea, the old man stared at him. Noah didn’t back down from the stare. Then, Archibald smiled. “What’s with the serious face, Noah?! I have your back, no matter what happens! In fact, I’m going to ask my sorry excuse of a grandson to tell you the whole truth. “I’m telling you, I’m going to break his legs if he tries to lie to you. That’ll teach him to seduce a married woman.”The old man might’ve tr

Half an hour later, the car was driven back to Noah’s villa. He got out of the car and took brisk steps toward the door. At that moment, all he wanted to do was see Gwynn. However, he was also assaulted by all sorts of emotions. He and Gwynn would know no peace, now that the Templetons had set their eyes on the two of them. However, the anxiety that was creeping on him evaporated the moment he opened the bedroom door and saw his wife, who was sleeping soundly on the bed!He and Gwynn shared a storied past.He was just dealing with Anderson. Why was he letting young man mess up his psyche?The Templetons might’ve been powerful, but he was a force to be reckoned with himself. Otherwise, Archibald would have treated him very differently today. In a matter of seconds, he thought a lot about the matter at hand. Walking over to the bedside, he stared at her while she slept. She kept her guard up for the past few days. He hadn’t seen her this relaxed and sleeping on his bed in a

Gwynn remained quiet. Noah was a little pissed off, but he didn’t want to have another fallout, either. So, he calmed himself and said politely, “Come over here and get some rest! When was the last time you had a good night’s sleep?”Holding a glass of water in her hands, she stood by the window and stared off into space. After a brief moment, she said softly, “I’m going home! It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve returned to the penthouse. Gladys is going to be worried sick about me.”Frowning, he said, “This is your home. Your actual home.”“We’re separated.” Her voice was dry and bland. “Do you seriously think I’m going to do what you say and subject myself to your whims and fancies simply because you flexed your muscles a few times and ravaged me?“I don’t even have a shred of dignity left in me. What do I have to lose?”He didn’t want to let her go. However, he was wrong about the things he did to Ewan, no matter how he looked at it. So, he released her after he pond

Gwynn exposed what Eluned truly thought of the matter.The latter got passed off and said, “What a load of crap! It’s your fault that Ewan is in this mess.”Gwynn simply remained calm and collected. She said faintly, “You don’t win a man’s heart by being spiteful and obstinate, Eluned!“You don’t have a place in Noah’s heart, nor did he treat you as anything more than a nobody. Why do you insist on obsessing over him? You could’ve had a happy, blessed life.”Eluned’s lips trembled slightly.The truth was, she knew how right Gwynn was. However, she couldn’t accept it emotionally.She couldn’t accept the fact that Noah thought of her hot, passionate love for him as nothing more than a worthless whim.She had pride, after all. She’d never allow herself to suffer such a miserable ending and leave.…Her lips were still trembling as she stared at Gwynn for a long time.In the end, she left while she covered her face.Silence hung over the empty break corner. Their coffee had long gone cold.

Gwynn read everything he wrote in silence. She knew he poured some thought into the gift as well as the card he wrote. However, she couldn’t be bothered with them. In the end, she chucked the painting in the storeroom. Then, she tossed the card into the trash can. Someone knocked on the door.At the next moment, her assistant opened the door and came in. She said softly, “One of our customers bought five of our most expensive paintings. She signed and gave us a forty-million-dollar cheque. She also said she wanted to talk to you.”Standing up, Gwynn said, “Okay! I’ll be there soon.”She followed her assistant to the VIP showroom. Marisol’s back was turned to them. She wore a sophisticated dress and had her black hair tied back. The sight was enough to exude her extraordinary elegance. She was just turning around as Gwynn walked over her. Smiling warmly, she looked at the latter and said, “You’ve got to be Gwynn.”Gwynn was stunned. Marisol kept smiling. “I’m Marisol Tem

Noah had spent a long time in the world of business. Everything had gone smoothly for him thus far. He had never been at a disadvantage.Now, however, it only took Marisol one sentence to stump him. He was upset, but he couldn’t afford to offend the Templetons. Not only did he have to control his temper, but he had to compose himself. “I’m afraid Anderson will have to wait until time itself stops.”She smiled faintly. “Such confidence! It’s no wonder you have such luck with the ladies. After all, the ladies you meet in your business proceedings must love how self-assured you are..”Tough and seasoned people moved cautiously and struck quietly when they clashed with each other.Was he supposed to not notice what she was implying?However, he couldn’t afford to retort. After all, she was merely spelling out the truth. He did play the field for a long time. He used to sleep with countless women and indulged himself in the thriftless and lascivious life. To him, that was the way t

Gwynn leaned back on the seat. Her eyes were filled with subtle tears. “Your words are sweet, but none of it matters anymore! Aren’t we all familiar with how ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf’ ends?”Holding the car door latch, she said, “Let me go! I promised Lorian I’d buy him a cake. He’s waiting for me as we speak and he’s not going to sleep unless I get home.”He gulped in response. It was clear what Gwynn was implying here. If he didn’t let her go this instant, then he would be a poor husband and a bad father.In the end, he had to let her leave.…Gwynn dropped by a bakery and bought her son a cake. To her surprise, Lorian wasn’t in the living room when she got home. She thought he couldn’t wait anymore and fell asleep, but Gladys came out of the bedroom, looking worried. “I think Lorian is sick. He’s burning up a little and he’s having trouble sleeping.”Tossing the cake aside, she rushed into the bedroom to check on her son. Holly was sleeping. On the other hand, Loria

What the nurse said stunned Gwynn. Meanwhile, Anderson smiled faintly. “The nurse thinks we’re siblings. We must look a lot like each other!”She didn’t think much of it because she thought he was just jesting.Before long, the nurse hooked the IV drip to Lorian. It didn’t seem like Anderson had any plans to leave. Instead, he stayed back and chatted with Lorian. It wasn’t hard to tell that her little boy liked him a lot. Once half of the IV drip was depleted, Lorian couldn’t fight it anymore and drifted off to sleep. Silence hung over the ward. She was about to say something, but he beat her to it. Staring at her, he asked softly, “Aren’t you going to ask me why I’m here?”“Well, what are you doing here?”Her tone was so nonchalant that it brought a chuckle out of him. However, he wasn’t mad. Instead, he walked over to the window and admired the view outside. He didn’t speak until after a long time. “I used to have leukemia when I was young. I went through a bone marro
