Chapter 847
Noah dreamed up a lot of possibilities for his future. It wasn’t just the good stuff, though. He also thought about what he’d do if his future turned out to be a tragic one. Should his health deteriorate to the point that death was inevitable, he’d apologize to Gwynn when he was on his deathbed. He’d say “I’m sorry, Gwynn. I’m sorry for throwing a wrench in your otherwise peaceful, happy life.”Then, he heard footsteps behind him. It was Gwynn, coming out of the kitchen. Looking at him, she said softly, “The porridge is simmering in the pot. Try to feed Holly the eggs while they’re still fresh. Also, I made a couple of omelets and some pasta… Gladys is going to be gone for a while. You should really look into hiring another servant.”He turned around and looked at her. “I’ll have Kim look into it! Join me for breakfast. You can leave after that.”She declined. She said softly, “Lorian is still in the villa. I’m worried about him.”Then, she glanced at the bedroom. She was rel

At the next moment, Gwynn approached the study. The door to the study was wide open. She heard a crash followed by Archibald’s roar, “You’re going to study abroad or get married. I want you to pick one of them right now!”She wasn’t sure what Anderson’s response was. All she knew was that her dad grew even more furious at the next moment. “Do you honestly feel proud of yourself? You’ve gone ahead and disgraced the Templeton family as well as our ancestors! We hired a lot of widely respected and virtuous teachers to teach you about critical thinking and high moral values.“What have you been learning this whole time? Tell me. When did you start having these feelings? I want an answer, now!”“I’ve always had these feelings for her!” A streak of blood rolled down the side of Anderson’s forehead. Even so, he looked absolutely fearless. He even said boldly, “I’ve loved Gwynn since the day I met her, and I’ve never stopped!”“Stop it! I don’t want to hear another word out of you, you

Gwynn said faintly, “I’ll move out of the villa and go overseas in three days, Dad!”Archibald was startled. Even Marisol was stunned, but she came back to her senses quickly. Grabbing Gwynn’s arm, she said softly, “Things aren’t as bad as it seems! Let me just put in a word with Dad. Alright?”Gwynn shook her head ever so slowly. The old man put his hands behind him and faced a bookshelf lined with books written by philosophers. She walked toward him. Her tone was still delicate and serene. She said, “I have no idea how long I’ll be away! So, you have to take good care of yourself, Dad.”Back when she first came into this family, she was wracked with nerves. Now, however, she felt at peace with what she had to do. Her dad needed her to do this, so she would do it, no questions asked. This choice was going to benefit everyone. That way, Anderson wouldn’t have to go on blind dates and her dad wouldn’t have to worry about his grandson doing something wrong every single day.A
Chapter 850
A shooting star streaked across the night sky.There was a hint of uncertainty in Noah’s stunning face. Holly, who was in his arms, held his hands and nibbled on his firm muscles. Then, she looked at him pitifully and said, “I’m hungry, Dad…”Lowering his eyes, he looked at her. He brushed her cheeks gently. “Alright. I’m going to get you some food.”…The diner next door was open for business all day long. It specialized in making soups. A Silvercrestian owned it, so the food tasted very authentic and delicious. Holly loved it so much that she finished an entire bowl. Leaning on Noah’s arm, she drifted off to sleep with a warm belly. However, she still missed her mother. From time to time, she’d mumble in her sleep. “Mommy. Mommy.”Noah soothed her while he directed his gaze outside. He tried calling Gwynn, but her phone was switched off. Worried that she might’ve gotten into some sort of accident, he went to the Templeton villa after midnight. However, the Templeton serv

“Unreasonable and obstinate?”Archibald sat beneath the light and looked at his only son, his face filled with bitterness and gloom.Rising, he walked out of the study. Moments later, his deep voice traveled into the study. “Didn’t you say I was unreasonable and obstinate, Anders? Well, you’re going to follow me and take a look at your precious son. “I want you to see how twisted he has become! Let’s see how you react when you find out about his appalling confession!”Anders felt a chill down his spine. At that moment, he recalled how Marisol had wept every day for the past few days. There were also doctors visiting their villa now, including a nutritionist and the most reputable psychiatrist in Brookesville. Both of them met Anderson every day. Ironically, he hadn’t even see his son all this while. Archibald opened the door to his grandson’s bedroom. Anderson was lying on the bed. He was much skinnier than before. A couple of warm, friendly doctors were sitting by his sid

Noah wasn’t aware that Gwynn had left Brookesville. He’d go to the Inverleigh Restaurant and wait for her there for a couple of hours every day. He’d watch the evening sun and its orange rays until dusk consumed it all and blanketed the world with infinite darkness. Come hell or high water, he’d still wait for her. However, she had gone overseas. So, how was she supposed to meet with him there?As time went by, he started to think that she had regretted spending an intimate moment with him that night. She was avoiding him because she didn’t want to talk to him about their future. A month came and went. He started to wonder. Shouldn’t Gwynn at least have missed Holly?He had gone to the Templeton villa more than a couple of times. However, the Templetons were too high up for someone like him to reach. He couldn’t even see Archibald, Anders, or Marisol in person.…Summer was drawing to an end. Noah had pushed his liver to its limits. Zoe had to force him to go to Lockwoo
Chapter 853
The streets were illuminated by numerous neon lights. The bars lining the lanes were livened up by a lady singer’s husky, melancholy voice, just as it always had.What was different now was that Gwynn and Lorian were no longer here. The street was teeming with people and bustling with chatter, but he was merely standing there by himself, feeling an immense sense of loss.Then, he saw Anderson. He was on a blind date with someone in a high-end restaurant. The lady was elegant and noble. She wasn’t anywhere near as astoundingly beautiful as Gwynn, but she did possess a certain charm and an exceptional gracefulness about her. Both of their parents seemed to be having a good time with each other too. Noah stood outside and watched him quietly. Anderson seemed enthusiastic, but his eyes were devoid of life. Something was very different about him. In the end, he resorted to waiting outside. He was waiting for them to come out of the restaurant. Anders and Marisol were startled
Chapter 854
Holly had put twenty-six candles on the birthday cake. The sight of it stirred Noah’s heart. He thought that Holly would forget all about her mother when enough time passed. To his surprise, the little girl kept asking about her mother. She’d ask him where her mother had gone off to and when she was going to come back. After that, time flew by like an arrow. Days, months, even years slipped away. On Gwynn’s twenty-seventh birthday, he took Holly to Silvercrest for a leisure trip. On Gwynn’s twenty-eighth birthday, he bought an office tower for the Sanders Group, and bought back the old villas he used to share with her. It had been three years since she left Brookesville. It was the year when he had regained his former glory in terms of both personal and company wealth. He was in a place where he could compete with the Templetons again. In that same year, Anderson’s wife gave birth to twins. Noah attended the christening celebration party with Holly. He prepared wonderfu
