Silence hung over the museum. Was Charles not going to be more careful with this kind of private and sensitive conversation?The truth was that he very much wanted to do that, but the situation forced his hand. He couldn’t wait to show Gwynn his loyalty. It was a shame that she didn’t want it anymore.“It’s too late,” she said gently. Then, she wore a blank expression and continued, “I have two requests now. First, you’re going to make the phone call and show everyone whose side you’re on. Secondly, I want you to quit your job the moment you’re done with the call. “You probably don’t know this, but I already have someone waiting in the wings to replace you the moment something goes wrong!”He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Who? Who could replace me?”She responded, “Jake. The guy you trusted the most.”His heart sank when he heard that. He couldn’t believe it. Jake would never sell him out and replace him. She adopted a nonchalant expression, giving the impress
An intense pain overwhelmed Gwynn. Her water broke and stained the hem of her dress, dripping off onto the tile floor. She did her best to prop herself against the wall and called out to her bodyguards, “Help! I need help…”Two of her bodyguards rushed over and supported her. They didn’t have any experience with this. So, they were shocked and didn’t have any idea what they should do. Gwynn, on the other hand, kept a clear head and relayed an order to them, “Get the car ready. I’m going into labor!”At that very moment, Jake walked out of the museum with Charles and saw the blood-chilling scene.Charles didn’t hesitate at all. Saving someone’s life was more important than anything. Once they were all in the car, Gwynn was already going through unbearable pain. Her forehead was covered with sweat. Realizing that the pain must’ve been excruciating, Charles began to feel sorry for her. He extended his hand and said, “You can bite on it if the pain is too great to bear.”He bet
Wait a minute…Wasn’t his baby supposed to be a girl?Why did it turn out to be a boy instead?He didn’t even look at his son and asked the nurse hastily, “Did you get the wrong baby? My wife has always been pregnant with a girl…” The nurse rolled her eyes at him internally and said, “Ms. Gwynn is the only lady going into labor in the hospital, Mr. Noah.”Then, he sat down, defeated. It took him a long time to process the revelation. Wiping his face with his big palm, he said, “Well. A son is fine as well!”He flashed a smile at Gwynn. “Lorian will have a brother to play with.”She was exhausted, but she still had to comfort her husband. Turning her head sideways, she looked at her newborn and asked gently, “Are you not going to love him because he’s a boy?”“Now, why wouldn’t I love him?”Leaning on the bed, he wiped her sweat off her forehead and talked softly. “I’ll love any baby as long as it comes out of you.”She responded, “You didn’t even check on our baby.”So,
Charles couldn’t understand it. It felt as if someone stabbed him through the heart. “Are you really going to part with me because of something as fleeting and insignificant as that? Do you think it’s easy to find a perfect husband once you’re divorced, Renata? Moreover, how are you going to find a future in Brookesville? That’s naive of you!”However, Renata had made up her mind. Tears were glinting in her eyes when she called out to him. Her voice was sad and touching. “You’ve spoken my mind. I used to be worried about all those, too! Actually, I’ve never thought about divorcing you until today. That’s because I used to admire and love you so much. You were everything to me“After I found out that you’ve slept with countless other women, I’m in sorrow. I tried convincing myself that you were only sleeping with them and never invested any real feelings in them. You’d come home once you’ve had enough fun.“I thought I’d be able to withstand it for the rest of my life.“All of t
Noah didn’t dare to let his gaze linger on her, so he went back to the couch. Gwynn might’ve just given birth to her baby son, but she was refreshed once she had cleaned herself. Underneath the ceiling light, she lowered her eyes, looking absolutely spectacular. Staring at her adorable newborn, she said in a soft and affectionate tone, “His name will be Ocelotte. Ocelotte Sanders!”“Quite a poetic name.” Noah repeated it and walked over to pat his newborn. “Let's make Hercules his nickname!”Gwynn was mad now. “Noah!”He chuckled and stared at Gwynn underneath the light. It didn’t matter how he looked at her, she was simply flawless. Gladys read the room and moved to another room. She closed the door so she wouldn’t have to listen to his ramblings later. It was quiet in the ward. The only sound was that of Ocelotte suckling on his mother’s breast milk. “Gulp… Gulp… Gulp…”Noah was feeling a little restless, listening to it. He was sitting by the side of the bed when he shifte
Gwynn asked him, “What’s wrong with a baby boy?”Lowering her head, she cooed to her newborn, who was in her arms. She was incredibly tender with him. She might’ve given birth to Lorian before and was pregnant with Gwen. However, it felt different when she was pregnant with Ocelotte.Noah saw that she was happy. So, he was delighted, too. He said to Kim, “Got it! Take care of Ayanna.”Kim nodded. “Leave it to me, Mr. Noah! It’s not like Ms. Ayanna wants to stir up any trouble, either. She said she’ll move to Crocksten as soon as she’s discharged and that she’d never come back, let alone have anything to do with the Templetons.“Also, Ms. Ayanna said she didn’t want the Templetons to know that she was the one who saved Ollie’s life.”He gave it some thought and said, “It works out, actually! Let her have a fresh start.”He didn’t waste more time on it. Then, he hung up the phone. Realizing that Gwynn was staring at him, she said, “Ayanna doesn’t want to meet with Anderson.”Low
At the end of the day, he was the one who had feelings for her, not the other way around. Anderson chuckled lightly. It was such a resigned and melancholy chuckle. “Those who invest in love often end up regretting it.”From here on out, he wouldn’t fall in love with anyone anymore. After all, there was always such a heavy price to pay.A figure rushed over with an umbrella. It was the family butler, who had worked for the Templetons for a long time. He shielded Anderson from the rain and said hurriedly, “We’ve just received a call from the hospital, Mr. Anderson. They said they found the compatible… something. The point is, there’s hope for Ollie. “I’ve arranged for the car to send you there. Hurry up and head to the hospital! You’re soaked to the bone. You’ll have to get changed in the car.”There was hope for Ollie, he said…Anderson’s heart skipped a beat. Then, he got into the car with his butler. He was practically dripping once he was in the car. So, the butler gave h
Anderson snatched back the cigarette. With his slender, fair fingers holding it, he took a puff and exhaled the smoke. Amid the light-green smoke, he spoke in a detached tone, "I'm not planning to get a divorce. If you still have any affection for this family, we'll keep it going... But the condition is that you cut off all ties with the men outside. I can fulfill your sexual needs."Talia was momentarily stunned.Then, her voice became somewhat choked up. "Anderson, you can't bear to leave me, can you? Have you realized my worth after everything we've been through? “I knew it. From here on out, let's live happily together."She loved him after all, so she eagerly pledged her loyalty. "I will cut off all ties with the other men and return to the family. Together, we'll raise our children."Then, she offered him a kiss, which he accepted. However, during the kiss, he did not close his eyes. In fact, he soberly stared at her, watching her succumb to his moves.He didn’t stay w
