Gael stayed up all night on New Year's Eve. He kept watch over Ansley. When the little girl woke up on New Year's Day, the first thing she saw was a fluffy teddy bear beside her pillow. It was her favorite toy, which she had mentioned to her dad several times. Ansley picked it up and hugged it tightly. She was unwilling to let go. Her dad had been there. After a while, she noticed Gael sitting by the bed. His eyes were reddened as if he hadn't slept all night. On top of that, his hair was messy, making him look disheveled and exhausted. Ansley held her beloved toy and called out softly, "Uncle Gael." Ansley felt deeply sorry for him. After all, it was Gael who had covered her surgery expenses, and it was his place she was living in now. Even so, she still wanted to be with her dad.Gael's voice was slightly hoarse as he responded, "Yeah."Gael looked at Ansley's teary eyes. After thinking for a moment, he pulled out a bank card from his pocket and placed it in her small h

Gael was on the phone when Emilia barged into the director's office. He glanced up at her with cold indifference. Grace felt a twinge of sadness. When Emilia first arrived in Brookesville, Gael had acted like a chivalrous protector. Now, he no longer cherished it at all after he obtained what he wanted. On the surface, it seemed like Emilia was still married to Gael. She deceived Gael and she didn't love him from the bottom of his heart.If Gael truly loved Emilia, he would be able to tolerate everything, no matter how scummy or rotten that woman might be. Grace looked awkwardly between them. "I told you that Mr. Gael is on an important call, Ms. Emilia." Emilia scoffed. "I'm Gael's wife." After exchanging a few words with the person on the other end, Gael hung up the phone. He then motioned for Grace to step out before finally turning his attention to Emilia.Emilia used to be the woman Gael loved but could never have obtained. He smirked as he pulled out a pure white

Gael's servant wouldn't let Emilia in, but she was driven by desperation and crazily slammed her car against the villa's gates. The servants had no choice but to let her in. Emilia's expression was that of a lost dog while she gripped the steering wheel. She had nothing left now. She couldn't afford to lose Ansley. She had to take her daughter away. Emilia stood a chance to make a comeback with Ansley by her side.As soon as the car stopped, Emilia hurriedly flung open the door and rushed toward the stairs. She cried out, “Ansley! Mommy's here to take you away! Quickly pack your things and come with Mommy, Ansley!”There was no response from Ansley. Emilia's voice was the only echo in the spacious villa.Emilia thought that Ansley must have fallen asleep, and she didn't dwell on it. She grasped the handrail and was about to ascend the stairs when the servant stepped forward to stop her."Mr. Gael has taken Ansley to her father, Ms. Emilia. She’s probably already on the boat lea

Gael hadn’t found peace, but he chose to let go.…Yanni stood quietly. The night was slightly cool, and her hand was held by Keaton.He spoke softly, "A man like Gael wouldn’t shortchange himself in life. I think he also wouldn’t allow himself to fall into despair."Yanni smiled faintly, "I believe that."The street stretched their shadows long and intertwined before fading away. New Year had passed, and they would be getting married in just over half a month. With many tasks at hand, their hearts were nonetheless full.Each of them would welcome a new life.On the sixth day of New Year, Yanni went to the hospital to arrange her work after the holiday. She had many things to handle, and she was busy until just before mealtime.Yanni returned to the office. As soon as she stepped in, Nylah informed her, "Mr. Gael just came by and left a paper bag."“Gael?” Yanni asked.Nylah nodded, “Yes, it’s Mr. Gael.”Yanni softly instructed Nylah to step out first. Once the room was empt

Jamie gazed at Paityn. His expression was inscrutable. After a moment, he finally released her delicate wrist. His voice was low and firm. “Finish the meal before you leave!”Paityn looked into Jamie's eyes, her calm demeanor betraying a hint of turbulence. After all, she was a person used to the business world. She wasn’t one to nitpick. After a brief moment of contemplation, Paityn took her seat again. The waiter began to serve the dishes. Jamie had arrived early, and he had ordered most of the food. Coincidentally, it was all her favorite dishes.Jamie’s domineering nature was something Paityn was well aware of, but she couldn't help but interject, “If it were anyone else on a blind date, the girl might not necessarily enjoy these dishes.”Jamie laid a pristine white napkin on his lap, his dark eyes showing a slight arrogance as he scoffed. “Don’t flatter yourself, Paityn! Do you really think I ordered these for you?”Jamie paused for a moment, and his voice grew even deeper.
