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
Back in Hucksburgh, Gwynn had fully recovered from her labor. She went on to make preparations to return to Brookesville with her children. Before leaving, she had a conversation with Renata, asking if the latter wanted to join them in Brookesville. Renata nodded in agreement.Now, she and Charles were already divorced. They had divided their assets and started sleeping in separate rooms. She felt relieved with Gwynn's assurance. She briskly walked back to her room to pack her belongings, preparing to enjoy her life in Brookesville. Indeed, she was going to enjoy it. With Noah and Gwynn's care and several billion dollars in her hands, she would live a comfortable life for the rest of her days. Only one thing was missing in her life, a child.She was so happy that it felt like she could wake up laughing from her dreams. After all, she no longer had to serve a man.As Renata packed her belongings, someone knocked on the bedroom door. Then, she heard Charles’s deep, masculine v
Renata bought herself a small villa with luxurious decor. Not only was it comfortable to live in, but it was also suitable for hosting small parties. She came to Brookesville with ambitions. She wanted to establish herself in this city and live out her true self.Gwynn was very happy for her.Renata had social skills, so Gwynn asked her to help manage the gallery, which turned out to be a perfect fit. Usually, the former would use the work as an excuse to visit the kids. Of course, her favorite was still Holly, who treated her like she was her aunt.Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was already late autumn in October.In the evening, the sky was filled with colorful clouds.Ocelotte woke up, he had a chubby little body and was stretching out his limbs. His strong little legs kicked vigorously. He grinned, revealing his toothless gums and looking extremely cute.Gwynn picked him up and sat on the couch by the window. She opened the front of her blouse,and her baby boy, s
As night fell, the former master and servant met each other through iron bars in a prison of Brookesville.Archibald took a cigarette. With trembling hands, he lit it and took a deep drag. Exhaling, he said to Saul, "I used to look down on this brand of cigarettes, always thought those who smoked them were uncouth and inelegant. Never did I imagine that one day I would rely on you to get one of them. Truly, times have changed."A light green smoke filled the air as he coughed.Out of habit, Saul showed concern, "You must take care of your health."Archibald looked up, his expression sinister, "Are you so deep into your act that you can’t come out of it yet? You've hidden your true self well, but now I realize you must be from the Carter family, right? “Obviously, you’ve planned so carefully. You even gave yourself the name Saul. Now, you’ve finally brought me down." His tone was filled with deep resentment.Then, he asked, "Did Noah bribe you?"Saul let out a bitter laugh, "I
Archibald trembled as he lit his favorite cigarette. After taking a puff, he continued saying, "Noah is very capable. You are fortunate to have him."Gwynn did not respond.She didn't consider herself fortunate. Instead, she considered herself tough. Otherwise, Ocelotte would have been sacrificed to the Templeton family long ago. She also didn't mention Ayanna giving her baby’s cord blood to Ollie.At this moment, he finished half of his cigarette and finally got to the point, "Do you hate me?"But, Gwynn shook her head gently.She looked at the old man indifferently and said nonchalantly, "I don't hate you, nor do I feel that I'm inferior to Anderson in your eyes. If it truly came down to jeopardizing your power and position, both Anders and Anderson would be sacrificed without hesitation. “You put your own interest before your family. Why should I care about you?”Saying these words meant that she had truly let go.Now, she had her family and children by her side. On top o
Renata had just finished speaking when she heard a soft cough coming from the doorway. Raising her eyes, she saw that it was Charles.He had come to Brookesville for a debrief. Upon hearing about Gwynn’s birthday, he took the opportunity to come over with a gift, only to overhear his ex-wife speaking ill of him.It was very awkward.After a moment, she said embarrassingly, "Life isn’t easy."Charles stared at her...After a while, he handed the gift to Gwynn and sincerely said, "This is a birthday gift for you, Gwynn. I also brought a little something for Ocelotte. I just saw the kids. They look really healthy."Gwynn didn’t refuse the gifts. After all, there was no need to make enemies, even on a surface level. She accepted the gifts and exchanged a few pleasantries with him. However, it was obvious that he was distracted, especially after Renata took her leave. He even responded to several questions with irrelevant answers.Gwynn smiled and sent Charles off after a brief con
