Anderson lit a cigarette and smoked it. Wisps of light green smoke lingered on his refined, fair cheeks. After a brief moment, he said gently, “Get Rylan on the phone now! Tell him I’m buying him dinner at the club we met at last time! Also, bring a case of the Franconian red wine with us.”Charlie nodded. “Roger, Mr. Anderson.”The night rolled on. Anderson threw up on the busy streets of Brookesville. Charlie was standing beside him and soothing him. “You can’t drink like this in the future, Mr. Anderson. Mr. Archibald is going to question you if he finds out about this!”Holding the handrail, he barked, “He doesn’t have to know about this!”Standing upright, he staggered toward his car and got into it. He still hadn’t secured the land development project, but he didn’t want to use his family’s connections. He knew, deep down, that Noah was behind this disaster. He’d be admitting that he was an incompetent piece of trash if he sought help from his family!The last thing he

Anderson cast a glance at Talia. “Got it.”After he left, Archibald served Talia strips of bacon and said warmly, “Anderson is so preoccupied with work. He’s going to need you to hold the fort down here! He’s young. So, he needs to focus on building his own empire now.”She fought back tears and responded softly, “I understand what he’s going through.”The old man was incredibly grateful for her. However, she alone knew that things would never be the same for her and Anderson. It was obvious that he merely used his drunkenness as a crutch to confess to her his real feelings. From here on out, he couldn’t be bothered to play a loving husband to her anymore. Their marriage was teetering on the brink of collapse!She couldn’t bear the thought of it. She’d do everything she could to win his heart. …Anderson was beyond drained by his work today. Evening rolled on and Archibald himself called him. The old man wanted him back home to have dinner with his wife and kids. He agre

Noah stood up when Gwynn walked into the restaurant. They might have just met each other earlier, but it was different this time. They used to promise to meet each other here four years ago. Their reunion wouldn’t be complete until after they had dinner here.She was holding Lorian’s hand while Holly sat next to her. Be that as it may, all they ever saw was each other, their hearts brimming with regret from the fact that they weren't able to meet each other four years ago. After a long time, he said softly, “It’s been a long time!” His voice involuntarily broke as he spoke.Her lips also trembled a little. He didn’t say anything after that. Instead, he crouched and held his son gently. Rubbing Lorian’s head, he said affectionately, “Look at you, Lorian. You’re a big boy now! Do you miss Daddy?”The little boy was seven years old now. He was tall and lean. His eyebrows were nothing short of spectacular.Leaning on his father, he said truthfully, “I did!”Pinching his son’s

Gwynn took a sip of the wine. She decided to hide her real feelings. “Not at all. Her style just doesn’t fit the direction I want my gallery to go.”Noah thought he wouldn’t press any further. Leaning back on the chair, he took his time with the wine. Moments later, he pushed a bowl of dessert to her side of the table and stared at her intensely, “Have some dessert.”He was so tender and devilishly handsome. No lady could’ve resisted his casual charm, let alone when he fully intended to seduce her!Gwynn wasn’t that dense. Lowering her gaze, she thought about it. Her voice was soft, but she was very serious. “I’ll admit that I used to have feelings for you four years ago, Noah. I did think about patching things up with you and starting things over between us. “With that said, the feelings I had paled in comparison with our ugly past. What’s more, we were separated for four long years.”Then, she rejected him softly. “Can we please just let go of the past?”His eyes grew da

Gwynn didn’t move at all. They merely stared at each other underneath the neon lights. It felt as if she was staring at a dream. It was the kind of dream she used to fantasize about when she was young. The sight brought tears to her eyes. She almost lost control of her emotions and had a meltdown when she walked over to him. The tips of their toes were but a few inches apart from each other.They were standing very close to each other. There was nothing but love and affection in his eyes when he stared at them. He spoke as if he was soothing a younger lady. “You’re just the same as when you were a little over twenty years old. Such a crybaby.”Raising her head, she glanced at him. Love and hatred blended in her eyes. He repeated himself, “It’s time to go home, Gwynn!”He wasn’t talking about his villa. No, he was referring to her apartment. From here on out, his home was wherever she was. Perhaps she wasn’t his wife.However, he belonged to her, physically and spiritual

“What do you think you’re doing, Noah?”Gwynn had a delicate body, and she was forced to lean on the sink. The kettle was boiling and making bubbling sounds, masking her involuntary grunts of pleasure. Her back was lean, and her waist was slender. He couldn’t resist reaching into her embroidered dress. Everywhere he touched was smooth as silk. He simply couldn’t get enough of it. The cramped kitchen was filled with his heavy panting, which was a sign of his excitement and repressed lust. With that said, fondling her was hardly doing anything for him. It wasn’t satisfying and did nothing to scratch the itch. Turning her around, he pressed his searing body against hers. Both of them hadn’t had sex with anyone for four long years. So, of course, they were going to be turned on as their bodies pressed against each other with nothing but thin layers of fabric between them.His eyes grew darker. Closing his lips on hers, he kissed her from various angles. After that, he felt he

Gwynn turned her head to the side. Gripping his arm, she pried it off. Her voice was especially gentle against the dark of night. “You’re wrong. I don’t love you, Noah! You’re reading too much into things!”Noah wasn’t mad at her answer.He was a mature man, and he knew how women meant ‘yes’ when they said ‘no.’ He shamelessly fondled her breasts for a while before he said in the most affectionate tone, “I’m going to take care of that hassle. I’ll see you in the morning.”She didn’t respond to him. It must’ve been a pretty urgent matter because Noah left immediately after he took his coat.His chauffeur was already waiting for him when he went downstairs. There was a black Cadillac next to his black Maybach. It was almost after midnight. Anderson was sitting in the black Cadillac, smoking quietly. The light-colored smoke was scattered into the wind, casting a hazy look on his face. He was no longer as refined and serene as he was before. All in all, he just looked compl

It was Anderson’s wife, Talia. Gwynn was stunned. Then, she said faintly, “Show her inside!”Not long after, she heard the clicks of high heels. Talia got herself some backup before she came here. She was here with a couple of assistants. Obviously, she was here to take Gwynn down a peg. Gwynn was very perceptive. She knew what Talia was here for. She handed the pencil to her daughter and said tenderly, “Go ahead and draw what you want, Holly! I need to talk to the lady over there.”Holly nodded. “I’ll be a good girl and stay here.”She couldn’t help but giggle a little. She just loved her little girl so much that she had to give her a kiss before she went away. It was such a heartwarming sight that it left a sour taste in Talia’s heart. At first, she thought the lady who had bewitched her husband must’ve had a secret affair with him.However, it was obvious that Gwynn didn’t care about Anderson at all. The former looked so affectionate when she looked at Holly. Talia c
