Gwynn was still a little dazed when she sat in the car. He held her hands gently, leaned over, and said tenderly, “What’s on your mind?”She held his arm and rested her head on his shoulder. She spoke softly. “Sometimes, I’d wake up from my dreams in the middle of the night. I’d think about how we came to where we are today.“Anderson is married and he has his own kids. Tied down by his status, he wouldn’t have been able to do anything that’s out of the line. Moreover, he cares about me on some level.“I just don’t get it. Why couldn’t Archibald accept me?“I can’t get over the fact that he messed with your brake pads.”…Noah’s voice was husky when he said, “It’s because of power and status! He wanted to help his grandson.”“Does this mean he only thinks of me as a blemish in Anderson’s life?” She was a little disheartened. Leaning in close, he kissed her on the corner of her lips and murmured, “You’ll always be the most important person to me!”What he said did make her f

Zoe and Mia did most of the planning for the wedding. On the other hand, Gwynn focused on her pregnancy.It felt different this time, though. In fact, it was similar to how it felt when she was pregnant with Lorian. She had a feeling that it was a baby boy. However, Noah was looking forward to having a daughter. So, she didn’t say anything to him. If she told him about it, then he might not be able to sleep and think about how he wanted to impregnate her again. Soon, it was the middle of autumn. The leaves on the trees outside the window were starting to grow yellow. Their edges were curling up as well. Sometimes, there was a thin blanket of white on their surfaces at night. The servants started turning on the heat in the villa. It was warm and comfortable everywhere. Gwynn almost didn’t leave her home. Evening rolled on and Noah gave her a call. He said he wanted to pick her up for dinner and take her to try out the gowns they had just altered. She agreed to it readily. T

Marisol had just left. About five minutes later, Noah came home. He had just entered the living room when Gladys tiptoed over to him and whispered, “Ms. Marisol was here a while ago. That lady must’ve said something that struck a nerve with Ms. Gwynn because she’s upset right now!”Frowning, he nodded in understanding.Later, he found Gwynn at the guest room. The pot of tea had already gone cold. She was lying on the brocade couch and staring off into space. Marisol’s visit must’ve upset her a lot.He walked over and patted her head. “If you don’t feel like doing it, we can try the gowns another day.”Coming back to her senses, she stared at him. The evening sun cast a faint orange hue on his dashing face, making it look heartwarming. She fixed her gaze on him for a long time and smiled faintly. “That won’t be necessary! I want to do it… I want to get married to you, wearing a pretty gown!”His eyes grew darker at that.Then, he pulled her into his arms and held her.A

Rosie said tearfully, “Really?”Gwynn soothed her the way she would a child. “Why, of course.”Rosie smiled. “Alright, Gwynn.”That was when Noah opened the door and went into the bride’s room. The first thing he saw was Rosie shedding tears. He would’ve given her a slap right there and then if this had happened under normal circumstances. However, Gwynn was right there. He wanted to maintain his good-guy image before her. So, his tone was tender when he asked Rosie, “What happened, Rosie? Why are you crying?”Rosie felt embarrassed and turned around to wipe her tears. Gwynn patted her on her back and asked her to give them some privacy. Then, Rosie left.Closing the door, he turned around and asked her, “What in the world is going on with Rosie? She’s always been a carefree and unsentimental person… Is she getting all teared up because you’re getting married?”She wasn’t sure if she should be mad or laugh at him. “She saw Jack.”His face turned cold immediately. After a

Once the emcee had finished his speech, Mia and Gladys went onto the stage. The former was going to have a daughter-in-law, while the latter was marrying her adoptive daughter away. Both of them wore festive clothes and a big grin on their faces. Mia had long put the past behind her. All she cared about now was that Noah had a happy life ahead of him. The same went for Gladys. She had always wished for Noah and Gwynn to have a loving relationship. Not only had they patched things up, but they were actually holding such a big wedding ceremony. That wasn’t even mentioning the fact that her mistress was pregnant with his baby. It was the proof of their eternal love.The old servant was so overjoyed that she could barely keep it in.She sat side by side with Mia.Then, the hotel staff brought over two cups of tea on a rosewood tray and awaited the bride and groom to come to the stage. The guests sitting down there were holding their breaths too. Archibald watched all of it from af

Gwynn’s eyes were filled with more tears. Then, she held his hands. They had been through so much. Now, they were finally of one heart and one mind. The universe shall bear witness to Gwynn and Noah’s holy matrimony. It shall see their marriage through the test of time.…The night rolled on. Noah got wasted, drinking with his guests. In the end, a few of his childhood friends had to stop him from drinking more. They pulled him away from the table and dragged him all the way to the honeymoon suite in the five-star hotel.As soon as the door to the suite closed, he sobered up completely in a matter of seconds. His eyes were filled with a keen clarity.Meanwhile, Gwynn was unwrapping the gifts in the private lounge. It just so happened that she was opening the gift from Gregory. It was an extravagant gold medal. The gift was expensive, but it had no other meaning behind it. That didn’t stop Noah from getting jealous the moment he saw it, though.Picking up the medal, he scan

On the other hand, a pair of old flames bumped into each other in the hotel hallway.Ella and Leslie accidentally met each other in the atrium. Much time had passed. He was much more mature now, emanating an air of decisive authority. She was the only one who had the privilege of peeking into his inner thoughts.“It’s been a long time, Ella!”He didn’t usually like to speak so formally. If he didn’t do this, however, he was afraid he’d say something totally inappropriate.Farley had passed away several years ago. On the other hand, he had divorced his wife for a long time too. Now, no one could stop him from doing what he wanted to do because he had complete control over the Schmidt family. Ever since she returned to Brookesville, he’d show up around her from time to time. In fact, he had asked Zoe’s help to convey his feelings to Ella. He’d also prepare thoughtful gifts and mail them to her every year. He had never once received a response. That night, however, he didn’t wan

At the end of the day, Archibald was disheartened. He recalled how he had reconciled with Gwynn back then. It was as lively and cheerful as tonight, too. The stained-glass pendant lights were hung all over the entire villa.Yeah. Those pendant lights were a thing of beauty. So, he summoned Saul. He said casually that he wanted to fiddle with it and asked his assistant to fetch one over for him.Saul was stunned. After a moment, he freshened up his master’s cup of tea and said warmly, “You must’ve forgotten, Mr. Archibald… All the pendant lights in the villa were smashed on your orders.”The old man didn’t come to his senses for a while. “Smashed? Are you telling me that not even a single one is left?”Saul didn’t respond to that question.Archibald dropped the matter and resorted to sitting there quietly, wallowing in the bitter feeling of being alone.So much time had passed. He was surprised at how lonely he had become. Anderson had rebelled against him for the past yea
