Chapter 838
Gwynn was shocked to the core. She looked at Noah with utter disbelief. She didn’t manage to find her voice until after a brief moment. “Surely, you remember how you ruined Maddox’s hands. On top of that, he and his wife wouldn’t have died so tragically if you hadn’t insisted on sending my donor away to Gianna. Holly wouldn’t have become an orphan either.“Yet here you are, insisting on raising her and changing her last name to yours. Aren’t you afraid that Maddox and Hailey might haunt your dreams every day, Noah?”“I didn’t forget about any of that!” He wore a blank expression and looked right ahead. “Perhaps the universe wanted me to make things right for them by…”She cut him off and said, “You’re not making things right! You’re just selfishly making Holly yours.”Her lips were trembling uncontrollably. However, he didn’t let his heart go soft. He knew she’d hate him deeply, but he’d do anything necessary to blackmail her, even if it meant he had to be this despicable.
Chapter 839
Gwynn responded, “Okay.”Then, she bade Grayson farewell. Since the Templetons didn’t invite him for dinner, there was no good reason for him to stay here any longer. Furthermore, he got the sense that they didn’t really want to bring him and her back together. They were only doing this as a courtesy to his family. He looked somewhat miserable when he left the villa.Anderson watched as he left. He asked softly, “Are you sure you won’t regret it? The Sargent family commanded a lot of authority in the culture industry. Grayson is all but sure to have a bright future.”She walked side by side with him. After a brief moment, she said, “I won’t regret it. After all, we’re both from different worlds!”He smiled faintly in response. …After dinner, she went back to her bedroom by herself, pondering problems of her own. Leaning her back on the door, she lowered her gaze and thought about Noah as well as Holly’s condition. She used to be his wife. So, she knew better than anyo

It felt as if someone reached into his heart and clutched it tightly. Noah was both thrilled and disheartened. This meant that he’d be able to see her more often, from here on out, but it also meant that she found him all the more sickening.Well, he didn’t care about that. Really!On the same day, Kim sent a lawyer to go over the legal procedures. From that day onward, Holly was no longer a Herman. Instead, she bore the Sanders family name. From a legal standpoint, she officially became Noah’s daughter. Her documents listed Noah as her father.Once the legalities were complete, Gwynn looked at the name ‘Holly Sanders’ and felt dazed for a long time.…A week later, Holly went through the bone marrow transplant without a hitch. Even Noah’s body didn’t seem to experience any complications after the surgery. Everything went smoothly!Noah treated his little girl with affection and care. He loved her as if she were his own, but none of his actions were able to warm Gwynn’s heart
Chapter 841
Noah cupped her supple breasts. His black eyes were fixed on her as he fondled them. Her nose would flutter occasionally when she couldn’t take the pleasure. The sigh of it was enough to make him want to sleep with her. She raised her head slightly and wept softly when she couldn’t take it anymore. “What are you crying for?!” Leaning closer, he wiped away her tears. “Didn’t you feel good back in Silvercrest? We’ve only done it once, but you got twice as wet as you usually are.”At the next moment, she slapped him. It stung his cheek.However, there was a dull pain in his liver. He brushed his lower abdomen instinctively, trying to ease the pain.Gwynn couldn’t take it anymore. Shutting her eyes gently, she said in a broken voice, “I swear I’ll stop coming here if you keep this up. Don’t make me do it, Noah!”“I won’t!”He shifted his body away and sat her up. Her clothes were in a mess and her black hair, which was previously tied up gracefully, fell down, giving rise

Noah didn’t take the pills with water. Instead, he swallowed them dry.The moment they slid down his throat, the pain got worse, but it eased up soon.Once the pain subsided, his eyes were glinting again. Staring at her, he noticed she had fallen apart. He opened the car door, and said in a husky voice, “I’m sending you home!”“I can drive just fine.”“Do as I say, Gwynn!” What he said reminded her of the time when they were newlyweds. She’d even call him in an affectionate tone back then. He’d decide everything for her, and she didn’t have to worry about anything. It started out beautifully. It was a shame that it ended the way it did!Opening the car door, he shoved her into the car and made his way to the driver’s seat. Then, he cranked up the heat and asked her to take off her drenched outfit. Hugging herself, she said dryly, “It’s not far. I don’t have to take it off.”He didn’t insist on it after that. Stepping on the gas pedal, he drove the white BMW toward the Tem
Chapter 843
Gwynn walked into the living room in the Templeton villa. The Sargents looked displeased. After all, they saw Noah earlier.Grayson’s mother, Dulce Sargent, didn’t hide the fact that she was extremely annoyed. Her tone was mean and nasty when she spoke. “We’re sincere in asking for your hand in marriage, Gwynn. It’s one thing if you have opinions on my son, but you can’t humiliate him by mingling with a shady man!”Then, she grunted in displeasure and added, “What the hell is this?!”Gwynn rested her gaze on the gifts and said dryly, “Firstly, Noah isn’t some shady character. He’s my ex-husband! Also, I broke up with Grayson a long time ago. There’s no such thing as asking for my hand in marriage. Take these things back. I won’t accept them, nor will I patch things up with Grayson.”Dulce felt mortified when she heard what Gwynn said. Raising her voice, she spoke in a much harsher tone. “Watch your tongue, Gwynn! You should’ve felt honored that my son is willing to take you b
Chapter 844
Gwynn, however, never went on another blind date. That didn’t mean she’d take Noah back, though. On the other hand, he was raising Holly well and properly. Truth be told, things were really tough for him. He was working long hours and his liver was constantly in pain or discomfort. He got a lot of prescriptions for painkillers, but the doctor advised him to take it easy and rest more. However, he’d just brush it aside and tell the doctor he was okay!Sometimes, He’d start reminiscing about the past when he was working while fighting through the pain. He’d cast his mind back to what he saw in the Templeton villa when he sent her back home on that pouring day. At times, he’d think about how he used to have the kind of money and power to buy everything a lady would love for Gwynn. Now, however, he could give her nothing. He kept working on rebuilding his wealth. He’d take any project or collaboration he could get his hands on, no matter how small.The night rolled on. He was

Something smashed on the floor. It was the cup from the table. Holly jolted from her sleep!She looked at her dad in a daze, noticing how his forehead was covered with sweat and how his face was contorted with pain. Then, she stood up in her crib. The next thing he knew, she held his arm, mimicking the adults around her, and blew on his arm. The little girl was trying to chase the pain away for her dad. That gesture was so heartwarming that it felt as if a feather had just brushed through his heart. He held her gently. Hugging his daughter, he felt warm tears welling up in the corner of his eyes. Nobody knew why he insisted on taking her custody. Aside from wanting to win Gwynn’s heart again, he was also trying to redeem himself!After all, he lost his unborn daughter, Gwen.His hands were trembling when he pulled out the phone. He wanted to call Kim, but he was gripped with so much pain that he accidentally called Gwynn instead. Leaning on the wall, he panted. Holly
