Chapter 821
Gwynn turned her head sideways. Underneath the gentle moonlight, there were still tears in the corner of her eyes. It was Marisol. Marisol took off her scarf and put it on Gwynn. Then, she saw the cake and asked softly, “Is this from Noah?”Gwynn didn’t deny it. “Yeah.”Marisol sighed softly. She was Gwynn’s sister-in-law, but she was more like a mother to her. Sitting next to Gwynn, she held the latter’s shoulder and said gently, “I knew you were having a problem letting go of the past when Anders told me that things were moving slowly between you and Grayson!“Here’s the thing, Gwynn. All of us used to love someone with our heart and soul when we were young. He alone could sway our emotions. However, you’ll eventually grow and mature one day. That is when you’ll discover that what you really want is a relationship that makes you feel safe and at peace.”Gwynn was stunned. “Have you loved someone with your heart and soul as well, Marisol?”“Why, of course!“I married A

Noah grabbed Brennan’s collar and hurled him against the wall across the room. The latter’s head started bleeding.Yanking his hair, Noah pinned his pretty face to the wall and said, “Have you forgotten about how you knelt before me and begged me to give you a chance? What’s the matter? Are you going to cast me aside, now that you’ve gotten what you wanted?”Brennan’s feet flailed helplessly. Noah was so terrifyingly violent. If he didn’t give his former benefactor something, then he might die right there and then. His face was smashed against the wall so hard that he had to strain to speak. “Ms. Courtney is going to be playing poker at the club at eight tomorrow.”Noah shoved him to the floor and flung the flash drive at him. Lying on the floor, he fell into deep thought. In the past, he had always thought he was a nobody before Noah. Now, however, it didn’t seem anything had changed. He was still a nobody!…The next day, Courtney won some money playing poker in the dead of

Gladys looked at the new clothes and said, “Just the right size, Mr. Noah! Lorian’s going to be three years old soon and Holly is over a year old. She can walk a few steps now! The only thing is that she doesn’t like to talk. It’s a good thing Lorian loves playing with her.”At the next moment, the babysitter brought both of the kids over.The little boy dived into Noah’s arms. “Daddy!”Noah held his son’s little feet. A lump formed in his throat. It had been half a year since he last saw Lorian. His little boy had grown taller and tougher. He looked like a big boy now. Holly, on the other hand, had just learned how to walk. So, she was wobbling in her steps. Mimicking her brother, she dived at Noah’s legs, held them, and said, “Dada.” She repeated it several times in a row, surprising him slightly. After a brief moment, he reached out and carried her in his arms. The little girl was teething. Lowering her head, she nibbled on his arms. They were ripped and firm. She liked t

There was nothing but pain and heartbreak in their history.As for the future… Well, why would they have any shared future in any way, shape, or form?Both of them stood in the evening light for a long time. In the end, Noah smiled faintly and said, “I’ll be going, then.”Casting another profound glance at her, he turned around and opened his car door. Then, he drove out of the driveway and left the villa. On the other hand, Gwynn was frozen to where she stood for a long time. It was extremely cold out here, but it actually slipped her mind to tug her cashmere scarf. Lorian ran over, hugged her feet, and asked, “Are you crying, mommy?”Bending down, she carried her son in her arms. Then, she buried her face on his small shoulder to prevent him from seeing her teary eyes. Her voice was a little broken when she said, “I wasn’t crying. Dust got into my eyes. That’s all.”Cupping her face, he said, “Here. I’ll blow it out for you, Mom.”Tears slid down from her eyes. …Noah

Holly was slipping in and out of consciousness. Her eyes were shut because she was suffering from a fever. Her face was pale.Her eyebrows fluttered as she subconsciously called out to Gwynn, who was holding her tiny hands and calling out her name tenderly. It pained Gwynn to see her baby girl like this. Holly wasn’t just an adopted kid to her. The baby girl was also the only thing Maddox and Hailey left in the world. She’d never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life if anything happened to Holly. Her face was filled with uneasiness. She couldn’t resist lowering her head and planting a kiss on her baby girl’s forehead. Noah was standing by the door and watching this moment quietly. Gladys saw him. Wiping her tears, she said, “Mr. Noah’s here, Ms. Gwynn.”The old servant didn’t realize her tone was much softer when she spoke to him, as if Gwynn and he were still a married couple. With that said, nobody had the mood to correct her in a moment like this. Gw

At the next moment, the doctor said sternly, “There’s no way your bone marrow would be compatible if you aren’t related to her by blood.”“Just do it!”Noah looked at Gwynn.She murmured, “I’ll do it too.”Anders and Marisol also expressed their willingness to run the compatibility test. Although Holly wasn’t related to the Templeton family by blood, Gwynn thought of the little girl as her own. That meant Holly was part of their family nonetheless.In the end, even Archibald and Saul volunteered themselves for the test. It’d take them three days to wait for the results!The doctor advised them that they couldn’t afford to waste another second. There was an extremely slim chance that it’d work. The best move was for them to travel to Silvercrest and convince Holly’s blood relatives to do the compatibility test.The night rolled on and it began to pour relentlessly. Gwynn stood by the window in the ward and watched as the rainwater collected on the surface of the leaves outsid

Gwynn parted her lips. She wanted to say something, but she decided she didn’t need to explain anything to Grayson. So, she withdrew her hand and said gently, “Let’s break up. We’re not right for each other!”At the next moment, she stood and moved to leave the coffee shop. That stunned him a little. Then, he rose, chased after her, and grabbed her hand again. He was caught in the moment and blurted out his inner thoughts, “I didn’t say anything wrong! I’ve always lowered myself to your level and accommodated your needs.“It’s true. Both of us were married, but only one of us has a kid dragging our feet and that’s you! You have two kids, for crying out loud! I think you know what choice to make if you know what’s good for you.”She responded calmly, “I’m breaking up with you.”His expression grew cold. “You’re going to regret this, Gwynn.”Shaking his hand off, she walked briskly toward her car. She opened the car door and got in. Her chest rose and fell rapidly. After all, sh

Gwynn raised her head and looked at him. She spoke with trembling lips. “It’s none of your business.”She tried to shake him off, but he was much stronger than her and easily overcame her struggle. She couldn’t move as he stared at her with unblinking eyes. She couldn’t tell what he was thinking, but she thought she saw a subtle hope in them.Then, she lowered her gaze. She knew what he was getting at. So, she thought she might as well put the cards on the table. “Yeah. I’ve broken up with him! However, it has nothing to do with us because there’s nothing left between us. I can never love you again, Noah!”Silence hung over the elevator. His heavy breathing was the only thing audible in there. He fixed his gaze on her, the muscles on his hand were visibly tensed up through his shirt. The tension between them was so thick he could cut it with a machete. That was when Anderson, who had gone quite far ahead and turned back, popped up at the elevator and said, “We’re here.”Bot
