Chapter 879
It was Friday. Gwynn had a business meeting to attend. Mary was the one who invited her. So, she went to the place at seven o’clock. To her surprise, she saw some familiar faces in the private room. It was Noah and Rosie. It had been a week since she last saw the latter. The young lady was much skinnier now. She was sitting next to him, looking pretty as she did. Noah rested his hand on her chair and chatted with Toby.Toby looked at Rosie and addressed her as Noah’s wife.The dozen people at the table fell into silence. Mary poked at her husband’s elbow and said, “His actual wife is standing over there!”All of a sudden, things were very awkward in the room. Instead of flinching, she sat right next to Mary and spoke elegantly. “Noah and I got divorced four years ago. So, it doesn’t matter who we want to marry in the future.”Noah hosted the dinner tonight. Rosie got on the wrong side of the Carter family. So, she was facing a similar situation as Ewan did back then. Ther

Silence hung over the car. Then, she finally broke the silence. “Did you find it fun to pull a fast one over me with Rosie?”Leaning over, he looked at her. He said calmly, “You also tricked me with someone who doesn’t even exist! Are you honestly going to tell me that the man on the phone was your boyfriend?”She stepped on the gas pedal and responded to him in a most uncharacteristic manner. “That was Gregory. You know him too. He helped me a lot when I was in Seridian. We’ve been keeping in touch with each other ever since I returned to Brookesville.”Now, Noah was a perceptive man. She didn’t like explaining herself but did just that for Gregory. That could only have meant one thing. He couldn’t help but question her. “Did he make a move on you? Do you have feelings for him?”She didn’t deny it. Driving her car, she peered into the darkness outside and said dryly, “He looked after me when I was overseas. On top of that, both of us were going through a divorce. It’s more t

Noah dropped his phone. Snatching the car key from Gwynn, he spoke in an extremely somber tone. “Lorian’s in the hospital. We have to get there now.”Gwynn followed him unquestioningly. Nothing else mattered now, neither Gianna nor Rosie. Her only priority was their son, Lorian. Even Noah forgot that he had been drinking earlier that night and sat in the driver’s seat.She got into the car and buckled herself up. Meanwhile, he made another phone call to Archibald. He didn’t talk to the old man with his usual, respectful tone. Instead, he spoke plainly. “Listen to me, Archibald. If your people so much as laid a finger on Lorian, I swear I’ll make life hell for the Templetons.”Archibald fell silent on the other end of the phone. Tossing the phone aside, Noah stepped on the gas pedal. The white BMW tore through the street and hurtled to the hospital. The car window was lowered, allowing the wind to rush into the car. Gwynn sat next to him and remained quiet. She didn’t kno

Talia didn’t expect it at all.She was born and raised in a wealthy and powerful family. Never had she thought she’d be humiliated in front of this many people, much less her in-laws. She said in a daze, “Aren’t you worried that the Templetons will make your life a misery?”“I am!”Noah yanked her hair and pinned her on the door, hard. A bruise immediately bloomed on Talia’s head.She screamed, “Do you have no respect for the law?”He slammed her head on the door in response. Glancing at at Archibald, he asked, “You Templetons abducted my son from his home and drew seventeen ounces of his blood without my permission. Is that how the law works for you, Archibald?”Then, he flung Talia away and pointed at the old man.“If this happens again, then I’ll make you bleed, old man!“I don’t care how much power you wield or how many shady tricks you’ve got. I certainly couldn’t give a rat’s ass about your precious great-grandson’s well-being. It has nothing to do with me or my son. “I

Anderson frowned. Archibald’s lips twitched uncontrollably. He thought Talia was a good wife for his grandson because she was educated, thoughtful, and courteous. It had never occurred to him that she’d use fifty million dollars to try to chase Gwynn out of the country. He couldn’t hold himself back and barked, “You moron!”Talia sobbed. “I did it for our family.”Marisol also couldn’t stand it anymore. She said, “Gwynn is Dad’s daughter when all’s said and done. What makes you think it’s okay to do something like that?”Talia had her reasons for doing so, but she couldn’t say it out loud. In any case, she didn’t want to let everyone know about it, either. So, she pursed her lips, pretended to be stubborn, and refused to admit her own mistake.Noah sneered at her, “Fifty million dollars? Do I look like a beggar who can’t support his own wife?”He hated her so much for doing so that he pulled out a stack of notes from his wallet and tossed them in her face in a humiliating way.

Gwynn’s heart could just break. Tears fell out of her eyes relentlessly, but she didn’t make a sound. Noah was driving. He was gnashing his teeth so fiercely that he could’ve ground them to dust. He had an urge to capture all the Templetons and blow their heads off one by one.Half an hour later, he pulled over at Gwynn’s apartment.He got out of the car and opened the door to the backseat. Lorian was sleeping in Gwynn’s arms. Reaching out, he touched his son’s back and found that it was covered with sweat.Taking off his coat, he put it over Lorian and carried the latter in his arms. Gwynn followed him. It was a quiet night. Once they opened the door and got inside, they realized that the servant hadn’t slept a wink. Instead, she was holding Holly, who had woken up from her slumber, and was waiting for them in the living room. Holly was still half asleep and feeling dazed when she heard the sound of the door opening. She called out in an adorable voice, “Lorian.”Noah ca

Gwynn moaned. Pressing against his chest, she did everything she could to push him away. However, he was simply too strong. How was she supposed to resist?All she could do was raise her head, pant heavily, and fight off the pleasure he was giving her. He hadn’t had sex for a long time. So, he was eager to have sex with her. Moreover, she couldn’t put up a fight at all. To her surprise, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. He couldn’t bear humping her and finishing it hastily. They were finally doing it after they were reunited. So, their first time in a long time should be romantic and sensual. Composing himself, he decided he’d have the greatest sex with her. At the thought of it, he took things slow. Sealing her lips with his own, he asked in a deep, husky voice, “How about we take this to the bed?”“No!” she said in a broken voice.She turned her head aside. Try as she might, she couldn’t make herself look brave. Instead, she came off sounding as though she was feigning

Anderson had treasured his love for Gwynn more than anything else. He hadn’t dared to think of her in any way that would sully her memory. However, she was lying beneath Noah, scantily dressed right now, ready for the latter to use her body in any way he desired. It was such a humiliating notion. He just didn’t get it. How was he in any way worse than Noah?He began to pant heavily, the way a trapped animal would in the middle of the night!Charlie ran over and saw the shattered pieces on the floor. He said, heartbroken, “Why would you put yourself through this, Mr. Anderson? Get angry at anyone you want, but don’t do this to yourself! Look at your phone. I don’t think it can be fixed.”Anderson’s face was particularly pale against the dark of the night. He asked his assistant, “Phones can be fixed, but what about love? Can we fix that? What’s the point of having it if it can’t be fixed?”“Everything will be alright, Mr. Anderson!” Charlie picked out the SIM card carefully fr
