Chapter 849
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

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

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

Gwynn’s black umbrella and dress looked like a piece of art in the rain. She was finally back in Brookesville after four years.On day after her return, she was sorting through her old belongings when she abruptly recalled that Noah had invited her for dinner four years ago. He said he needed to talk to her about something important. Today was the anniversary of that day. Back then, she was forced to leave the country. The fact was that she had never forgotten about it. It was just that the incident came out of left field and caught her by surprise. Her reconciliation with Noah paled in comparison to that outrageous incident.She was a little disappointed that she couldn’t have met him. At the same time, she missed him a little. With that said, she didn’t regret her decision in the least. So many years had passed. She actually came to this restaurant to have closure over the person she missed back then. On top of that, she came here to bid farewell to her old self. After al

What Noah said stung Gwynn. Obviously, he misunderstood the situation. It was Gregory on the phone earlier. She ran into him in Seridian and he had looked out for her a few times. They also hung out with each other from time to time. On top of that, he knew about her taking Lorian back to Brookesville. With that said, she didn’t explain herself. As far as she was concerned, her history with Noah was nothing but a distant memory. She remained silent in response. He took that to mean a yes. All of a sudden, the white BMW’s brakes screeched, and it ground to a halt by the side of the road. It was still raining heavily. Dressed in elegant clothes, he looked out the window quietly. The wipers on the windshield swished left and right repeatedly, but it did nothing to clear the visibility.After a brief moment, he pulled out a cigarette and lit it. A faint nicotine smell lingered in the car, fusing with the scent of his aftershave and creating a unique, charming odor. He took h
