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
Chapter 901
Once Gwynn ended her call with Noah, she shopped alone in the mall and bought shirts and ties according to his preference. She didn’t have to worry about money at all. He had given her a black platinum bank card. There were no limits on the expenditure. She had a lot of time to run her errands. So, she proceeded to buy clothes for both Lorian and Holly. Needless to say, she didn’t forget about Gladys. It was quite late by the time she was done shopping. Just as she was getting ready to go to the restaurant, she ran into someone she knew. Anderson was hanging out with a young girl. She had her arms around him and acted very intimate with him. It didn’t take a genius to figure out the nature of their relationship. The sight of it shocked Gwynn.She knew that he was no longer the refined gentleman she used to know, but the last thing she had expected to see was him having a mistress behind his wife’s back. From the looks of it, they had known each other for quite some time. She

Archibald was so mad that he could just lash at Anderson with the whip again. In the end, Saul had to break them up and broker peace between them patiently before he could drag Anderson away. Dusk cloaked the sky with an infinite darkness. The light in the old man’s study cast a dim glow in the room. He sat at the deep-colored desk as the wind blew open the window a crack and rocked the stained-glass pendant light. It swayed gently from the wind and made a pleasant chiming. Archibald touched the light. He could still remember vividly how lively and cheerful it was when he reconciled with his long-lost daughter. Now, however, everything had changed beyond recognition. Raising his eyes, he looked at Saul and barked, “This is all Gwynn’s fault! She should never have returned to Brookesville. Anderson’s wild fantasies wouldn’t have been rekindled otherwise!”Saul was shocked to hear it. He couldn’t help but say, “This has nothing to do with Ms. Gwynn, Mr. Archibald.”The old

Gianna was tied to a chair within the abandoned warehouse. Her mouth was taped shut. So, she couldn’t open her mouth and say anything. She was no fool.The moment she saw Gwynn, she knew what the old coot was plotting. He was going to make Noah choose between her and Gwynn. If this had happened in the past, Noah would surely choose her. However, she was sure he’d choose to save Gwynn now. There wasn’t even any question about it. “Mmph… Mmph…”She squirmed fiercely. Gwynn looked at her and said dryly, “It’s pointless. Archibald doesn’t want to let you go. What makes you think you could break free?”Gianna’s eyes widened in shock. A strong resentment rose within her chest.That old coot was Gwynn’s biological father. Why did he have to abduct her when his beef was with his own daughter? Yeah. She might’ve done a lot to hurt Gwynn, but she had repaid her debt with her uterus as well as one of her feet. Why couldn’t they just let her go?!Then, Archibald’s men tied Gwynn up. H
