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

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

Noah didn’t turn on the light. Instead, he sat by the side of the bed and stared at his son underneath the dim light. After a long time, he reached out and brushed Lorian’s cheeks. The little boy rolled to the side and lay down flat on the bed. His defined nose and innocent eyes reminded him so much of Gwynn back when she was a little over twenty years old. Just like that, his mind was flooded with memories. The pain was so excruciating that it felt like someone stabbed him through the heart. He was still hurting on the inside. He found success and rebuilt his business after four years. Everyone thought he had recovered from the grief and moved on. He even convinced himself that he no longer cared about it that much. However, meeting Gwynn again revealed to him that his heart was actually still torn to shreds!He didn’t stay for too long. She stood by the window when he left, her black dress blending into the surrounding darkness. She saw him going downstairs and getting

The room was filled with the sweet odor of tea, but Archibald could taste nothing but bitterness. Glancing at his beloved daughter, who had been gone for four long years, he asked in a deep voice, “You’ve been back for a few days now. Why didn’t you come home with Lorian?”Gwynn looked at Saul. Saul took the hint and rose, walking far away to check on some books. Averting her eyes, she responded softly, “It isn’t appropriate.”He suppressed his feelings and said, “How is it inappropriate? Anderson is married with kids. That incident is already a thing of the past. No one’s going to bring it up again… “I know you’re mad at me, Gwynn, but I did it for a reason! Come home and stay in the family villa. I’m old now. I want my family to stay with me.”She took her time and drank half of her cup. Shaking her head gently, she said, “I’ll pass. Anderson has got a good life going now. Isn’t this what everyone wanted? Why should I go back and disrupt his otherwise perfect life? Further

Archibald walked over slowly and said, “This is Templeton family business. There’s no need for you to intervene, Noah.”Noah stood in front of Gwynn and stared straight into the old man’s eyes. This time, he actually didn’t let Archibald stare him down. He said, “She’s a Worshem, not a Templeton! Also, as far as I’m concerned, she’s still part of my family. “We might not be married anymore, but she’s still the mother of my children. That makes her my family. This is something that no one could ever change!”…Archibald sneered, “It looks like you’re dead set on poking your nose into my family’s affairs!”Noah sneered right back at him. Then, he forcibly took her away.The Sargents saw that the dinner didn’t go the way it should and got the heck out of there swiftly. An eerie silence hung over the private room. The old man wore a grim and blood-chilling expression. Staring at Anderson, he said coldly, “You actually still have feelings for her! Have you forgotten the fact that

Half an hour later, the car pulled into Noah’s villa.This was the house they used to live in. Now that she was back here again, she was flooded by all sorts of emotions. The door to the backseat had just opened for a second when a young girl came running over. “Daddy!”Holly held Noah’s legs and began to act cute with him. He picked her up and carried her on one arm. Then, he took her into the car and put her down on his lap. His chauffeur was smart and got out of the car unprompted. The car’s insides were dimly lit. So, the little girl leaned on her dad’s chest and stared at Gwynn gingerly. She recognized her mommy, but they had been apart for four years. She couldn’t help but feel a little scared and shy, much less call the lady before her ‘mommy.’Gwynn felt the same way too. She felt like a soldier who came home after spending years fighting a war. Patting his daughter’s head, he looked at Gwynn. “Aren’t you going to hold her?”Her voice was trembling when she resp
