Chapter 991
Gwynn asked Renata about her feelings on this. Renata was extremely nonchalant about it. She said, "He thinks I have an active sexual life in Brookesville, and I didn't explain anything, either. In any case, we won't get back together! I just can’t be bothered."Gwynn agreed with her wholeheartedly. She believed that Renata deserved a better life.…In the blink of an eye, it was Gwynn’s birthday celebration. At the same time, they were also celebrating because Ocelotte was three months old now. Noah rented out the entire Imperial Hotel for the occasion. He was now a powerful figure in Brookesville, able to command great influence.That evening, the venue was filled with prominent members of the high society. Even Gregory showed up. Noah recalled the phone call from years ago and still felt a pang of jealousy. He even nearly started a fight with Gregory on the spot. Fortunately, both men had reputations to uphold and managed to keep the peace, though it was a strained cour

That evening, Noah had a bit of alcohol in him. It wasn’t enough to make him drunk, but he certainly drank enough to become shamelessly clingy with his wife. He insisted on sharing a private limousine with her to enjoy some alone time.His playful antics were relentless. Gwynn, who had been busy caring for their three children and inadvertently neglecting him, decided to indulge him.However, as they were leaving the hotel, they unexpectedly ran into Anderson in the hallway.Noah narrowed his eyes slightly.He had rented out the entire hotel tonight. So, this encounter couldn't have occurred out of coincidence. He regarded Anderson with an indifferent gaze, who reciprocated in kind. It felt suffocating in the narrow and quiet corridor for the three of them.They didn’t say anything to each other until the very end. Instead, the two of them simply brushed past Anderson and headed toward their vastly different lives.…Gwynn remained silent as they sat in the car in the park
Chapter 993
In the dead of night, they finally met again. It had been a year since their last encounter. Anderson had endured so much, yet Ayanna’s eyes still held a trace of innocence, an innocence that he despised. How could she live so peacefully after deceiving him? How could she appear before him again as if nothing had happened?He was filled with so much hatred that he wanted to tear apart this false beauty."It’s been a long time."They stood facing each other, the scattered neon lights casting a faint glow on his features, obscuring his expression. But his voice was very gentle, like the whispers between lovers.Underneath the starry sky, she wore simple clothes, carrying a bag with apples she had bought for Daphne. She planned to make applesauce for the latter when she got home. Dpahne was her and Anderson’s child. Her baby girl had fallen ill, so Ayanna brought her to Brookesville for treatment. After a month, her daughter’s condition had improved significantly. She hadn’t

Then, Ayanna laughed softly. That’s right. She came from a humble background. How could she refuse him?She got into his car. It’s a black Land Rover. He never used to drive such a car. Instead, he used to sit in the back seat of a black limousine, driven by a chauffeur. He would never smoke casually in the car either.The man before her was still Anderson, yet he wasn't. He had changed so much.He didn't ask for her address. It wasn’t like he cared. Stepping on the gas pedal, he took her straight to a villa.As the car entered a familiar alley, she exclaimed, "Why are we coming here?""Why not?" he replied.He turned off the engine and looked at her. The car's interior was dim, their profiles flickering in and out of shadow.He stared at her for a long time before speaking coldly, "I bought this place again last month. You’d be wrong if you think I did it out of nostalgia, Ayanna. I did it to remind myself of this disgraceful past, to remind myself never to trust a woman
Chapter 995
Ayanna thought that once he vented his anger a few times, he would grow tired of it. Anderson might not have mentioned it, but she could tell from the sexual positions and kinks that his private life had likely been wild and reckless over the past year.Holding the gold card, she whispered, "I have a place to stay. I'll come over when you want to see me."He didn’t object to it. He didn't care where she stayed. All he wanted was to vent his hatred towards her. What he sought was not just physical release but to make her experience utter ruin and taste the bitterness of betrayal by a loved one. Merely toying with her a few times would be too merciful.Later, he left under the cover of night.…After a long while, Ayanna dragged her exhausted body to take a shower. Everything here was just as it used to be. Even the bathrobe was placed exactly where it had been before.Wrapping herself in the bathrobe, she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She might’ve seemed pale, bu

Ayanna didn't dare to think about marrying him.Although being his mistress was humiliating, she was content with it. She loved him, and he loved her back. On top of that, they had an adorable daughter together!She hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether to reveal Daphne’s existence now.But Anderson said, "I’m quite busy in the company lately. So, I might not be able to spend time with you this week! Let's spend Christmas Eve together. I’m going to give you a surprise."He said he had booked the most luxurious private room for a candlelight dinner with her.She was overjoyed.Worried that he might neglect his wife, she advised gently, "In the past, both of you have misunderstandings because of me. I hope you’ll treat her better now."A cold smile formed on his face.However, he held the woman close and pressed his face against her delicate neck, breathing warmly: "How are you this considerate, darling? Would you be jealous if I were to go home and have sex with her? I

Gwynn had arranged to go shopping and have coffee with Renata, but the latter couldn’t be there because there was an emergency.Gwynn smiled gracefully.She continued to stroll alone, not particularly caring where she ended up. She was planning to go to the company to pick up Noah in the evening. Then, they’d go to their favorite restaurant for dinner before heading home together.Life was peaceful.She lacked nothing in terms of money. Gladys and a nanny looked after her children at home. She also cherished the occasional moments alone with her husband to nurture their relationship.Of course, she’d never go to a hotel if he suddenly felt like doing it after dinner.She never expected to run into Ayanna. Ayanna was shopping in a baby store, picking out clothes for her daughter. Her eyes were misty with emotion, her fair face glowing with health, looking quite well-off.Seeing Gwynn, Ayanna felt a bit awkward, "Greetings, Ms. Gwynn."Gwynn didn't blame her.She took the sma
