Chapter 938
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
Chapter 939
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
Chapter 942
Anderson and Talia were staying by Ollie’s side within the VIP ward, facing each other. They were supposed to be the closest people to one another. However, they were treating each other like strangers. The little boy lay on the bed, but he slept poorly. His forehead was covered in sweat, and he was murmuring in his sleep. “Mom… Dad…”Talia was heartbroken to see her son this way. She grumbled to Anderson, “I’m not going to pin the blame on you for Ollie having this condition. All I ask is a promise from you. If none of the family members have compatible bone marrow for my little boy, then I want you to get Gwynn, Lorian, and even her unborn baby to donate their bone marrow… I don’t care what it takes, I want Ollie to live.”He was stunned. “It’s her choice if she wants to donate her or her children’s bone marrow to our son. More to the point, Gwynn is pregnant now.”Talia said matter-of-factly, “She could always get an abortion.”At the next moment, he slapped her right acro

Lorian’s face went stiff. Staring at Talia fiercely, the young boy said, “She’s not my mom! She’s a vampire!”Talia’s delicate face was contorted with rage at once. However, she maintained her patience, knelt before him, and tried to convince him in a lovely tone, “You’re a good boy, Lorian! Your little brother is sick. So, I’m going to need you to give him your bone marrow. Will you do it?”Lorian grumbled, “No way! I’m not doing it for a bloodsucking vampire!”Then, the young boy’s teacher noticed what was going on. She was about to go over and calm the kid down when Gladys came over in a car to pick up Lorian. The first thing the old lady saw when she got out of the car was Talia trying to trick her grandson. Swooping him up in her arms, she glared at the younger woman fiercely. “What’s the matter with you? Have things gotten so bad for the Templetons that you have to kidnap a young boy?”Talia’s face went pale. “I’m Anderson’s wife.”Gladys spat and said, “And I’m Noah’s
Chapter 944
Gwynn’s face turned red after she heard what Noah said.Her feet would be shaking like a newborn calf every time he finished ‘repaying’ her. Being pregnant didn’t keep him away from her either. He might not have been able to do it for real, but he’d find a way to rouse her desire so much that it felt worse than death. With that said, she didn’t want to appear scared. So, she picked up a book and pretended to read it. “I don’t need you repaying me for anything!”She looked so elegant as she spoke. Initially, he didn’t mean it that way, but he couldn’t help but pull her into his arms and persuade her to tell him her plan.She leaned on his chest. Her black silk sleeping gown was hanging loosely on her lean shoulders, revealing her glowing, delicate skin that seemed to be calling to him. Rubbing his dashing face, she filled him in on her plan in a gentle voice. He couldn’t help but feel more impressed with her. His urge to ‘repay’ her was very strong right now.He pondered on it
Chapter 945
The night grew darker and quieter. An eerie silence hung over the Templeton villa. Marisol was packing up her jewelry, clothes, and valuables into a couple of big suitcases in the master bedroom on the second floor. …Anders was smoking outside. There were more than ten cigarette butts in the ashtray. Later, she dragged the suitcases out. She asked him, “Are you leaving with me, Anders? We’ll remain a married couple if you join me. I’ll respect your decision if you want to stay, but it will also mark the end of our marriage.”Her voice was restrained when she said, “I can’t bear to stay in this family for another second.”She loved Archibald and treated him like her father. However, the universe had played a cruel joke on her. Never had she thought that the wise, old man would’ve been that moronic. He actually cared about himself so much that he refused to save his own grandson. He had left Anderson to die back then. Anders continued to smoke. It was hard for him to ma
