Chapter 860
Half an hour later, the car pulled into Noah’s villa.This was the house they used to live in. Now that she was back here again, she was flooded by all sorts of emotions. The door to the backseat had just opened for a second when a young girl came running over. “Daddy!”Holly held Noah’s legs and began to act cute with him. He picked her up and carried her on one arm. Then, he took her into the car and put her down on his lap. His chauffeur was smart and got out of the car unprompted. The car’s insides were dimly lit. So, the little girl leaned on her dad’s chest and stared at Gwynn gingerly. She recognized her mommy, but they had been apart for four years. She couldn’t help but feel a little scared and shy, much less call the lady before her ‘mommy.’Gwynn felt the same way too. She felt like a soldier who came home after spending years fighting a war. Patting his daughter’s head, he looked at Gwynn. “Aren’t you going to hold her?”Her voice was trembling when she resp

Gwynn simply couldn’t kiss her little girl enough. The coffee machine made a soft whir.Noah stood to the side and leaned on the wall. He was tall, and he had taken off his suit jacket, the snug vest revealing his firm and ripped body. On top of that, he had broad shoulders and a shapely waist. It was just as Gladys said, a lot of ladies would want to flirt with him.He fiddled with his cup and said absentmindedly, “You’ve got to help her with her homework.”Holly pouted and looked a little unhappy. Gwynn was brimming with love for her daughter. “Do you hate doing your homework?”The little girl dived into her arms and said pitifully, “I don’t know how to do it.”Gwynn didn’t think too much about it. She flipped open Holly’s homework and checked it. That was when she was rooted to the spot. Holly had gotten everything wrong. She couldn’t even get simple math questions right. What was worse, she tried correcting them, but she still got it wrong. It wasn’t just math, eithe

Gwynn chuckled dryly. “You’re right. No one would’ve waited for that long. I’m not upset or anything, Noah, nor am I angry or envious. In fact, I should congratulate you for scoring someone so young and beautiful!”Underneath the crystal chandelier, he said with a blank face, “Why, thank you!”They were about to wrap up their day on a sour note. So, she thought she shouldn’t stay there any longer. This villa might’ve used to be her home, but he already found himself a new girlfriend. She shouldn’t overstay her welcome.He didn’t stop her, either. Holly was sitting at her work desk in the living room, working on her homework, while tears welled up in her eyes.Gwynn walked over, and she shot up from her chair. Gripping her mother’s sleeves, she sought comfort from her, dispirited, “I’m stupid.”Holly loved her mom and she wanted her to hang out with her more often. However, she was worried that her mom would dislike her because she was just too stupid. Her face was filled with no

The traffic light turned red at the intersection ahead. Noah stopped the car and said dryly, “My future wife can look after Holly if I get married again. What’s the matter? Are you worried that someone might abuse her?”Then, he leaned over and looked at her. Gwynn merely remained quiet. Resting her cheeks on her seat, some strands of her hair fell on her arm. Actually, they fell on top of his shirt, but that didn’t stop the tingling and arousing sensation from reaching into his bones. He couldn’t help but lower his head to see if he had a boner.Twenty minutes later, he pulled his black Maybach up outside her apartment. He didn’t follow her upstairs. Instead, he asked her out on Sunday. She didn’t agree to it on the spot. His lips curved a little as he said, “Don’t worry about it. We’re just having a meal together as a family. I won’t bring anyone else this Sunday!” Then, he added, “I hope you’ll pay me the same respect too!”She responded by opening the car door and ge

It was midnight when Noah returned to his bedroom. Loosening his tie, he was about to take a shower when he raised his eyes and saw Holly in her cow-patterned pajamas. She was lying flat on the bed and her buttocks were wiggling like an adorable puppy.He took off his tie and sat on the side of the bed. She snuggled up to him, held one of his feet, and acted cute with him. However, she didn’t want to say anything. He sighed before he carried her and set her down on himself. She started to scrub his abs the way she’d laundry. After a while, her fair, perky face scrunched up. “I’m stupid,” she said.Holding her tight, he couldn’t help but feel disheartened. Then, he kissed her.Back when Holly was two years old, Gladys bought her some children’s books to teach her to recognize words and read the numbers. However, his little girl just couldn’t pick up anything. The old servant must’ve tried teaching her a hundred times, too.So, he took her for an IQ test. That was when he
Chapter 865
Talia wasn’t usually this inquisitive. Anderson’s delicate eyes opened a crack. He looked at his wife and said coldly, “It’s none of your business!”They had been married for three years, but this was the first time he had treated her this way.She found it distasteful, but she still patiently put his clothes on for him. Then, she talked about his work. “Did you upset Grandpa because you made a blunder at work?”He didn’t respond to her.Back then, he did as he was told. He got married and had a couple of kids. He even retraced his grandpa’s steps in his career. It didn’t do any good for him, though… His grandpa still distrusted him and Gwynn.He was so flustered that he took the bathrobe and strode into the bathroom.Talia forced a smile in response. After a brief moment, she ran her hand across the spot where he sat, feeling the lingering warmth. Then, she sat on the couch with her hand still clutching the warmth. They had been married for three years. They might have seeme

After a brief moment, Gwynn came back to her senses.She called her assistant over and asked her to entertain the customers while she took Anderson to her personal office. They were family, but things were a little awkward between them. She made him some tea and said, “Do you still like Fortnum & Mason?”He sat on the single couch and swept his eyes across the room. Gwynn’s doodles and sketches were everywhere. Her faint perfume odor was lingering in the air too. Now, however, he could never address her as his aunt. He stared at her while her back was turned to him and said in a husky voice, “Grandpa didn’t mean to set you up with Grayson for real. He was just testing me to see if I still had any lingering feelings.”Gwynn paused briefly before she continued making tea. Her back was still turned to him when she said, “I should’ve felt happy for you, now that Mr. Archibald entrusted you with important tasks. However, it was embarrassing how I got dragged back into the mess.

It was Noah…At that moment, Gwynn would rather talk to him than Anderson. So, she said to the latter courteously, “I believe you can tell that I’m busy, Anderson!”He didn’t force her to stay. He wore a cold expression when he rose. “I guess I’ll get out of your way and let you reconcile with Noah, then.”He bumped into Noah on his way out.The latter was dressed sharply and looked downright mature and stunning. It was the look that Anderson had come to hate. He said coldly, “What a coincidence, Noah!”Noah peered at Gwynn, who was sitting in her office, before turning his gaze to Anderson. A trace of sharp hostility flashed across his eyes. Then, he adopted the same sarcasm Anderson had exhibited. “Look what the cat dragged in! What are you doing here? Meeting up with your Aunt Gwynn instead of cooking up some schemes in a dark room today?”Anderson’s tone grew colder. “Mind your own business!”Then, he left in a hurry.Their shoulders rammed into each other as they walke
