Chapter 893
Noah’s smile grew faint. Reaching out, he wiped the side mirror and said nonchalantly, “I don’t care if you tell on me. I’ll just break two more of your fingers if that happens.”At the next moment, Charlie’s forehead was covered with sweat. …After Charlie left, Noah drove to Gwynn’s apartment. He hadn't come here for two straight days, but she didn’t even give him a call. It looked like he really didn’t have a place in her heart. He parked his car, leaned over, and took Anderson’s obscene pictures with him. Then, he went upstairs and swiped the door card before going into her apartment. The sky was dark. The lights in the bedroom cast down a warm, yellow glow on the kids, who were already sleeping. Gwynn was sitting on the couch by the window with a tablet in her hands.She was picking out paintings for her gallery. The young painters she got lately were showing some promise. She had high hopes for them.Noah stole his way into the room. Raising her eyes, she regarded

Evening rolled on. Gwynn went away to pick Lorian up after school. She got him and was about to get in the car when she heard a familiar voice. “I need a minute with you, Ms. Gwynn.”Turning her head sideways, she saw Saul, who was Archibald’s assistant.He was dressed in a traditional outfit and looked all sophisticated. Standing next to him were a couple of men dressed in black. Obviously, they were Archibald’s bodyguards.They greeted her too. “Hi, Ms. Gwynn.”She knew they didn’t come in peace. Smiling dryly, she responded, “Greetings.”Saul spoke respectfully and courteously. “You haven’t stepped foot into the Templeton villa ever since you returned to Brookesville. With that in mind, Mr. Archibald misses you very much! He’s plain out of options and requests your presence at his office.”He might’ve used the word ‘request,’ but she knew clearly that she didn’t have a choice this time. She’d have to see the old man at his office. Otherwise, the bodyguards would’ve coerced h

Archibald understood Gwynn’s subtexts. Sneering, he said, “If Anderson isn’t innocent and guilt-free, then I’ve got to be downright wicked and ruthless, as far as you’re concerned! I had no choice but to send you overseas four years ago. I used to think that you’d understand my decision.“Now, you’re finally back. You might not have stepped foot into the family villa, but Anderson and Talia’s marriage is all but broken. He never comes home either. Things have become so bad that Marisol fell ill because of it.”She asked, “Shouldn’t you be talking to Anderson, then?”He was about to respond to her when Phoebe came in with the tea. The assistant put down a cup of tea before Gwynn and said, “Enjoy your tea, Ms. Gwynn.”Gwynn merely nodded in response. She didn’t even take one sip of it.Archibald noticed this. Then, he gave himself a moment to suppress his emotions and proceeded to tell her the reason he wanted to meet with her. To be more accurate, he was declaring his decision to
Chapter 896
Noah and Gwynn walked out of the building. An orange hue blanketed over the entire city outside. The setting sun was the only thing holding heaven and Earth together. Behind them, they could hear the sound of someone smashing stuff. It was probably Archibald losing his temper. She stopped in her tracks. Turning his head sideways, he looked at her and asked softly, “Are you having second thoughts? Did you regret making that decision?”Raising her head, she looked at the evening light and chuckled dryly, “I’m just thinking that he’s old. He shouldn’t be having a fit this intense.”Back then, Archibald overheard Anderson’s confession of love for her. If only he hadn’t gotten furious and let her turn his grandson down, then everything would’ve been different today.Reminiscing the past had always made her feel dispirited. At the next moment, she looked at Noah and said, “Let’s go!”Later, both of them got into the car. She was buckling up when she asked, “How did you know I was

Gwynn leaned on him and felt her heart pounding faster. Noah spent the night in her apartment. He slept in the guest room and didn’t try anything funny. All he did was give her a kiss after he gave the kids a good night kiss before he slept. Naturally, he pinned her on the white pillow and kissed her intensely. …The next day, Noah was needed at work. Kim came over to help with the move. Actually, Gwynn didn’t have much stuff to move anyway. After all, she hadn’t been back for long. Moreover, she could just buy anything she needed afterward.It was three in the afternoon when a couple of black limousines pulled into the villa. Gladys took a group of servants and waited for their arrival for a long time now. The moment she saw Gwynn and Lorian get out of the car, tears welled up in her eyes. She stepped forward and called out to her, “Ms. Gwynn.”She was gripped with such a strong emotion. It was the same for Gwynn too. She held the old servant’s hands and said, “I really

Kim responded with a smile, “It used to be their home. Of course, they adjusted to it well!”Noah chuckled. “I’m just worried that she can't get used to me! The fact is that Gwynn has her own whims, Kim. You have no idea how understanding I am when I deal with her.”She was kind of speechless. After all, she had worked around the clock all week, but all she had to show for it was her CEO bragging about his love life.Taking his coat, he left the office. …There weren’t a lot of people on the street at this time of night. A lady was dressed provocatively, trying to solicit customers by the side of the road. She was negotiating her price with a man, looking as cheap as dirt when she did. This was the second time he had seen Gianna.She was as miserable as when he saw her for the first time previously. Dressed in a cheap, red dress, she was trying to sell herself to the man. The man scanned her from head to toe, his eyes filled with disdain. In the end, however, he fished o

Noah went over to check on Lorian first. The night was quiet. Lorian was sleeping soundly in his ocean-themed room. One of his arms was resting on the blanket. He sat on the side of the bed and put Lorian’s arm back into the blanket. Brushing his son’s face gently, he looked at his delicate face and felt that his boy was growing up every day. He regretted that he hadn’t spent enough time with Lorian.In the past, he thought of children as nothing more than tools to carry on his lineage.However, witnessing Lorian’s growth gave him a clearer picture of a family. Now, he loved his son very much. He wanted nothing more than to watch his son grow up and have his own family and legacy when he was old enough. Lorian rolled to the side and mumbled, “Daddy.”At the next moment, the father in him felt extremely satisfied. He sat there for a long time before he left and went to the guest room. A night light provided the only illumination there. The dim glow shone on Gwynn, blanketin

Gwynn put on a silk sleeping gown, walked up behind him, and held his waist. She didn’t say anything. Instead, she merely hugged his shoulders from the back.…Noah’s body stiffened in response. After a brief moment, he asked tenderly and softly, “Does this mean you’ve forgiven me?”At first, she shook her head. Then, however, she nodded. “A little, yeah.”He responded faintly, “Okay.”It sounded like a regular response, but Gwynn didn’t see how tears filled up his eyes. He might’ve waited for her in Brookesville for four years, but he had been waiting for her to forgive him for far longer.It was true. She said she had only forgiven him a little. The fact was that that was enough to make him feel grateful!Sensing that he was trembling slightly, she hesitated a little before asking softly, “Are you crying, Noah?”The only outcome for offending him was a punishment.Holly had drifted off to sleep. The next thing Gwynn knew, she was swooped up and carried into the fitting
