Chapter 797
Archibald brushed his hand across the yellowed newspaper. Tears began to well up in his eyes. Did he conceive this little nugget on that preposterous night? Was she the fruit of his mistake?It took all of one second for him to make that grave mistake.He reflected on his past life and thought about his future and reputation that evening. He fully understood that the entire Templeton family would be thrown into a state of disarray if he reconciled with his estranged daughter.…The last traces of evening light were consumed by the impending darkness. Marisol came to the gazebo with a cup of tea and turned on the stained glass pendant light. “It’s dark in here, Dad. Why didn’t you turn on the light?”The light came on. Archibald was still drowning in the past. After a brief moment, he said in a hoarse voice, “It’s you, Marisol! Where’s Saul?”“He’s gone back to the government office.”Putting down the new cup of tea, she took away the old one. That was when she noticed th

Marisol’s hair cascaded on the soft pillow. Snuggling up to her husband’s shoulder, she said softly, “You’re absolutely right. Dad might not have said anything out loud, but I could tell he wanted to reconcile with her. He’s just concerned that we might not be too happy about it.”Anders smiled, “What’s there to not be happy about? We would’ve lost Anderson if it wasn’t for Gwynn.”She hugged her husband tightly in response. She loved him with all of her heart. What was more, she also loved everyone in her family. She was more than willing to support Archibald for a change. …Two days later, Gwynn was taking stock of her paintings in her office.She said to her assistant, “We have a problem. Our paintings are selling out too quickly. Here. Give a call to the artists and painters on this list. Ask them if they have more paintings in their hands. Don’t push them if they don’t have any. After all, it takes time to create art.”Her assistant nodded and went out of her office.

Gwynn wanted to ignore him, but she also knew that he would never let her go unless she gave him something. She said nonchalantly, “Marisol bought several more paintings. It’s only normal that I have a cup of coffee with her. Do you expect me to get your approval for something like that, Noah?”He didn’t press any further. Then, he changed the topic and said, “I’m going to hang out with Lorian.”She didn’t stop him. “Lorian has just recovered. Don’t play with him too roughly. He might catch a cold if he sweats too much.”He nodded in response.Both of them walked out of the coffee shop together, looking as stunning as they could be. A lot of people stole glances at them and were insanely envious of them. None of them expected it when Noah and Gwynn walked their separate ways as soon as they were out the door. He went over to the penthouse and kept his son company late into the night. Eventually, Lorian fell asleep, but Gwynn still hadn’t come back.Clearly, she was avoiding

Gladys came back to her senses and said, “She’s looking after her kid. Let me get her now.”Archibald nodded in response.It just so happened that Lorian wanted to drink milk at that moment. So, Gwynn carried him out to the living room. The moment she saw the old man, she lost her composure. The milk bottle fell from her hand and onto the floor, rolling a few inches away before it stopped. Walking over, he bent down and picked it up. “I’m going to have to wash it before the boy could drink the milk.”Gwynn was still stunned, but Gladys had regained her senses. She stammered, “I-I can’t possibly ask you to do it. I’ll take it, Mr. Archibald. I’ll wash it.”However, he had already found his way to the kitchen. He washed the milk bottle and said, “I used to wash Anderson’s when he was young. The little boy’s name is Lorian, I believe. Why, I can’t possibly play favorites, considering that I’m his grandpa!”Gladys felt as if a thunderclap had struck her. She was shocked to the cor

Gwynn went back up to her penthouse. Gladys was gripped with such excitement that she could barely hold her questions back. “How is it that Mr. Archibald is your father, Ms. Gwynn? Geez. He’s one of the most prestigious figures in Brookesville!”Then, she carried Lorian in her arms and kissed him.She continued, “Now that Lorian has such a powerful grandpa, no one’s going to pick on you guys anymore! Anyone who dares bully him is going to get it. We’ll ask Mr. Archibald to skin that person alive!”The old servant was thrilled. Then, something occurred to her and she grumbled jokingly, “Mr. Archibald came here just to look for you, Ms. Gwynn! You didn’t even give him a glass of water. You have to do better next time he comes.”Gwynn sat on her chair. She was a little out of it. It had been so long, but she was still trying to process everything.Gladys proceeded to play with Lorian gleefully.…A week later, the Templetons called and invited her over for a meal. They also wan

“You’re a fool to entertain such an outrageous thought!” Noah barked. Gwynn couldn’t be bothered to explain herself to him. She merely smiled faintly. “There’s no need to be nasty, Noah. There’s a misunderstanding between me and Anderson. We didn’t do anything unspeakable with each other!“I’m not like you. You kept sleeping with ladies in Brookesville because you couldn’t control your lust. I certainly don’t have a home in Brookesville, Silvercrest, and Birkenfeld, like you do. I can’t even begin to count just how many mistresses and sex partners you’ve had.”He caught the key part in her sentences. “What’s with that tone?” He sneered. “Who is he to you? What makes you think you can call his name in that affectionate tone? You might be sucking up to the Templetons, but what do they think of you? You said you’re their guest. Well, did they give you an invitation?“If you want to go to their party, you can only do so as my wife.”…She lowered her gaze in response. She murmur

Holly still couldn’t speak. However, Archibald treated both of his grandchildren equally. He also hugged the baby girl and also gave her some pocket money. After that, Gwynn stepped forward. Looking at the authoritative old man before her, she still couldn’t help but feel a little distant from him. That didn’t stop him from looking at her lovingly, the way a father would his daughter.Her voice was a little choked up when she spoke. “Dad.”He stared at her profoundly. Anders, who was standing to the side, remained quiet while his wife wiped her tears away.After a brief moment, Archibald brushed his fingers through Gwynn’s silky hair. Walking back to his desk, he pulled open the drawer and took out several deeds as well as a passbook. He handed all of them to her and said, “Our ancestors were all businessmen and they left us with some of their properties! Anders has done a good job managing them too! “We have decided to give you these to show you how much we love you.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the party. The villa was filled with magenta stained glass pendant lights on that day. The light from within the glass cast a heartwarming pinkish hue everywhere.Numerous cars were parked both within the porch and outside the villa.All of the members of high societies in Brookesville were here. They heard that Archibald found his long-lost daughter and that she was merely twenty-five years old. Now that they thought about it, this was an extremely happy occasion, the first since the old man’s wife died a long time ago. They didn’t have anything bad to say about it.To them, it wasn’t weird that Archibald wanted to reconcile with his daughter.However, they could tell just how big of a deal this was for Archibald based on the scale of the party alone. It baffled them and made them curious about the young lady who made the old man act out of the norm. After all, Archibald was known for keeping a low profile because he didn’t want to invit
