The limousine was in utter disarray.Renata's face was covered in fine sweat, and her black hair stuck to her forehead. She kept her eyes shut tightly and refused to look at Charles.How could she look him in the eye?Just as she was finally moving onto a new life, he pulled her back. She could press charges against him if she was a young lady. Then, she could've forgotten about this incident and started anew with Darrell. However, she wasn't a young lady. She used to be married to Charles. So, the others would only see them as having lingering feelings for each other.What was more, Charles was involved in too many things. Noah would be the first to disapprove if she intended to take action against him.Adults often had to make sacrifices. She understood this well.Renata sat up slowly and held her clothes as she shed tears quietly. She didn't act hysterically. Instead, she could only wept silently. Charles sat next to her. He had already zipped up his pants, but his shirt w

Renata wasn't a young lady anymore. She seemed to have regained her composure after she cried it out. However, Charles wouldn't let her leave. She was confined to stay in his villa.He sent for someone to bring Daphne over.As night fell, the sound of a car could be heard in the courtyard on the ground floor. She could also hear some women's faint voices.Renata had cleaned herself up. She wore a white silk pajama and leaned against the sofa by the window. She silently drank from a wine glass by herself.The bedroom door creaked open.Charles walked in. He had also showered and changed into a fresh shirt and trousers. His whole demeanor looked refreshed.He approached Renata and put his arm around her shoulder gently. "You wouldn't eat. So, why are you drinking wine now? Drinking on an empty stomach is bad for your health."Renata let out a cold laugh. Her delicate face leaned against the luxurious sofa and rubbed against it lightly. "Don't you find it ironic? You were so

Charles couldn't look away.The single tear Renata shed would come to haunt him for many years to come.In the end, he never got married and lived out the rest of his life in solitude.…They gazed at each other for a long time before Renata broke the silence, "Give me the child."Although Charles felt deep sorrow, he still brought the child over and tried to please her gently, "Daphne is adorable. Let's start over, Renata. We can raise her together. "She will have a bright future as my daughter. Isn't this what you've always wanted?"Now, I am willing to give you everything as long as you are willing to give me a chance."…Charles spoke with great sincerity. Renata couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If she had never been married to him, she would surely have been moved. She'd be captivated by such a charming man. However, the truth remained that she had been his wife for many years. She knew all too well his wickedness. As far as Charles was concerned, Renata

Charles was very displeased. "Daphne hasn't finished eating."However, Renata said, "She can eat when she's back home."Charles was stunned. After a moment, he smiled faintly and repeated, "Yes, she can eat at home."He was very reluctant to let them go. Charles hadn't given Renata anything, but he had given this villa to Daphne. He said it was her future wedding gift.He also said that he wanted to see Daphne whenever he came to Brookesville in the future.Renata did not agree.Charles drove them back when they parted. An hour later, the car stopped in front of her villa. Renata sat quietly in the car and gazed outside. A black Land Rover was parked by the roadside. Darrell was dressed in black. He was leaning against his car and smoking. He looked haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot as if he hadn't slept for days. Charles's black limousine stopped, and Darrell stared straight inside through the glass.Daphne waved her little hand, "Hi, Uncle Darrell."Tears welled

Two years later.Gwynn gave birth to her third child in Brookesville. Her daughter was named Gwen. Noah had been waiting for a daughter for the longest time.Gwynn was thirty-four years old now.The weather was cold when the spring snow melted. However, the villa was warm everywhere, like spring. Ocelotte was four years old now. He was highly curious at this age and had explored every nook and cranny of the villa. Noah joked that even the dog couldn't stand him. After he made fun of Ocelotte, Noah went to hold Gwen.At night, the master bedroom on the second floor was quiet. Gwen had been fed and was laying there and basking in the warmth. She looked peaceful and beautiful. Noah entered the room gently. He stepped lightly and didn't dare to breathe loudly. He was afraid of disturbing Gwen's slumber.His face was filled with tenderness as a father.Noah touched Gwen's arms and legs, unable to stop loving every part of her.Gwynn was sitting next to him and had just finished
