Gladys was stunned. She had looked after Gwynn for a long time now. In fact, she was there back when the latter was still a naive and innocent young lady. Her mistress couldn’t even watch when she was cutting fish for meals. A tiny drop of blood would terrify her mistress too.However, Gwynn actually did something so horrible that it never ceased to astound her! That wasn’t to say that she didn’t agree with what her mistress did, though. In fact, she thought it was a work of art.Gwynn leaned over and looked at Noah. “We have to hit the road now! I have some matters to attend to at noon! The point is, we’re leaving. So, you might as well not waste our time!”His brows furrowed.It was darker in the car. Tried as he might, but he couldn’t see any trace of longing in her eyes. Rather, it looked like she couldn’t get away faster from him. She simply used Gianna as an excuse to achieve that goal. She had known about the latter’s return to Brookesville, but she didn’t bring up the s

Gwynn moved into a penthouse that was well over three thousand and two hundred square feet. Gladys couldn’t stop saying good things about the place. Her own bedroom was a private suite. For crying out loud, it came with its own restroom and bathroom. It was about four hundred and thirty square feet too. She was overjoyed, but she also wasn’t sure if it was okay for her to enjoy the suite.Gwynn had to reassure the old servant that she could use the suite as she saw fit. She told Gladys that she bought the penthouse. Aside from her usual savings, Liam also gave her two billion dollars. He transferred it to her account. “Two freaking billion dollars?! Do you want to run that by me again, Ms. Gwynn?”She repeated it with a warm smile. The old servant couldn’t help but say, “Forget about two billion dollars, I’d happily retire with just twenty million dollars in my pocket. I can finally rest my old, weary bones and enjoy the rest of my life. No one’s going to get me to work ano

Rubbing his father’s face, Lorian said, “Mommy’s sleeping with Holly now, Dad.”Noah forced a smile on his face. Even a little boy could tell what he was thinking. How was Gwynn not supposed to know it? She was merely avoiding him. Gladys might’ve been harsh to him, but she laid out some food for him. She even nagged at him, “Do us a favor and give us a call before you come next time. That way, Ms. Gwynn could head out and avoid you. Otherwise, she’d be trapped in her own room for the better part of a day. It’d bore the heck out of her.”He merely remained quiet. …Noah tried to make her happy, but she didn’t accept his gesture. Not even once. It was New Year and he drove over to her penthouse. He brought a lot of gifts for her and invited all of them to celebrate the occasion at his villa. “We’re still husband and wife, Gwynn! It’s New Year, for crying out loud. We need to gather around, like any family should.”However, Gwynn still wouldn’t see him. Instead, she asked t

Noah lit another cigarette and smoked it leisurely. Kim sat in the passenger’s seat and spoke, the sarcasm in her tone was unmistakable. “You’re just awesome, Mr. Noah! It merely took you a few moments to win her heart! “I don’t get it, though. Why would you flirt with her? Do you think Ms. Gwynn is going to change her mind because of Eluned? I beg to differ, Mr. Noah. I find the young lady too unpleasant.”He continued to fiddle with the gilded lighter and remained quiet. He would no longer try to make Gwynn happy for the next few days. He was going to take a different approach instead.…Eluned went back to her apartment. Ewan was still in there. Ever since Noah dealt his reputation a heavy blow, he hadn’t gotten any jobs. So, he was killing time by playing video games at home. He heard the door opening and turned his head sideways to look at her. It seemed she had a good day. He asked casually, “Did everything go well today? We can always go back to Silvercrest if y

Noah didn’t duck out of the way. Instead, he took it squarely. Her fingers left a faint mark on his fair cheeks. Even the waiters didn’t care about him when they saw it. They merely clicked their tongue and went about their businesses. At the next moment, he grabbed Gwynn’s hand and dragged her to the elevator. She couldn’t break free. He took her all the way to the underground parking lot and stuffed her into the backseat of a black Rolls-Royce. Her head hit the leather seat heavily. Then, she came to her senses and tried to scramble out of the car. However, he pinned her down firmly. Staring at her with lust, he said sultrily, “I didn’t do anything to her, nor am I interested in sleeping with her!”His voice was as husky as they came. It was clear that he was sexually frustrated. Ever since Gwynn left him, he had never slept with anyone. He did masturbate, but it felt drastically different from the pleasure he got from slipping his manhood into a lady. He was so blue-
