Yanni didn’t respond. She felt a mix of sweetness and a hint of embarrassment. It was because Keaton clearly treated her like Ella, even though she was actually two years older than him.Keaton seemed to sense her thoughts. He turned to grasp her hand gently and said softly, “Ella’s asleep. Let’s go to my room.”Yanni didn’t put on any pretense. She and Keaton had essentially committed to a lifelong partnership, and their families were aware of it. Besides, Yanni was a mature woman. Coming back to the villa with Keaton tonight made it clear what would happen next.A minute later, Yanni followed Keaton into the master bedroom next door. His master bedroom was about 970 square feet, complete with a large walk-in closet and a study. The bathroom was decorated in a vintage style that Yanni liked. Keaton explained lightly, “I thought about how you might occasionally stay overnight, so I remodeled it to your preferred style.” His thoughtfulness always brought joy to her.As Yanni exp
In the early morning, Yanni was awakened by Keaton's kiss. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw him looking fresh and clean in a white tracksuit. Beads of sweat glistened on his brows. It seemed like he had been exercising in the home gym for quite some time.Yanni couldn't help but think about how Keaton had been sweating profusely several times last night. Wasn't he tired? The thought made Yanni blush. Keaton seemed to guess what she was thinking. He leaned against the headboard and smiled gently. He reached out to caress her alluring cheeks and murmured, “What made you think I had enough?”Yanni dared not listen any further and feigned indifference. “I have to get up for work.” As she began to sit up, Keaton gently pressed down her arms.Keaton's grip wasn't strong. It was more imbued with affection. His gaze was deep and loving. “The snow hasn't stopped all night, and there's a layer of fresh snow outside. Do you want to take a day off?”Yanni looked outside. The world
Yanni laughed sarcastically, “Isn’t this your own choice, Gael? How many times have we fought because of Emilia? Also, how many times have you neglected to come home because of Emilia? Now, you’ve finally married her. So, why aren’t you satisfied?”Besides, Yanni had reminded Gael to investigate thoroughly before making any commitments. However, he insisted on going his own way. At that time, Gael had countered Yanni's concerns by asking why she always targeted Emilia. What more could Yanni say? Everything was willingly accepted by Gael.After finishing, Yanni tried to push Gael away. However, Gael wouldn’t let go, and he still trapped her body. His gaze shifted from hatred to gentle warmth, as if the two of them had returned to their best times. His voice was hoarse, “Let’s start over, Yanni.”Yanni stared at Gael as if he were a lunatic. After a long pause, she managed to squeeze out a sentence. “If you’re sick, go get treated, Gael. Don’t go crazy in front of me! We’re divorc
Yanni received a package at 5:00 pm. When Nylah handed it over, she wore a mysterious expression. “It's a same-city delivery from Mr. Keaton, Ms. Yanni. I bet it’s a super sexy nightgown inside!”Yanni was quite speechless. “What on earth do you think about all day?” As she opened the box, it turned out not to be a sexy nightgown at all, but a bank transfer slip. The sender was Keaton, and the amount was an astonishing 9.6 billion dollars.Nylah stood beside her, and she was stunned. “Ms. Yanni, this… Mr. Keaton is really generous, isn’t he?”…Yanni knew about the money in advance, but she was still stunned. Even for a wealthy family like the Lockwood family, producing hundreds of millions of dollars was no small feat, especially as a generous gift from someone like Keaton.Last time, Keaton had referred to it as a wedding gift.Wedding gift, he said.Yanni couldn’t help but think back to when she married Gael. The wedding gift he had given was two million dollars, which was a
Yanni leaned against the desk, lightly tracing the surface with a slender finger as she smiled softly. “In about 40 minutes! Keaton and Ella are here with me.”“That's good! Drive carefully on the way.”“I know.”…After hanging up the phone, Jamie saw Mason approaching with an eager expression. “What did Yanni say?”Jamie fiddled with his phone, and his tone was indifferent. “They'll be home in 40 minutes! She's with Keaton and that little kid of his. I heard that the little girl is the daughter of Keaton's older brother.”Mason nodded. “Well, that doesn't make Yanni a stepmother! Besides, that little girl is adorable. Not to mention, Yanniy and even Zoe would really like her. They've only met a couple of times, and Zoe already keeps asking when you’re getting married and having kids.”Jamie was over 30 years old. However, there was still no sign of a family lineage in the Lockwood family. Mason and Zoe pretended not to be anxious, but deep down, they were concerned. They had
Zoe Sanders wasn’t sure if every cheating man had two phones. Mason’s lover sent a picture to him while he was in the bathroom. She was a delicate young lady, but she was dressed in elegant attire that didn’t exactly fit her age. So, she looked a little out of place. “Thank you for the birthday present, Mason.”Zoe stared at his phone for a long time. Then, her eyes welled up. She knew Mason had kept a lover on the side, but she didn’t think she’d look like this. Aside from the obvious heartache, Zoe was surprised at her husband’s taste in women as well.She felt sorry that she saw his secret. Then, she heard the bathroom door opening. Mason wrapped a towel over his defined muscle and sturdy chest. He was tall and sensual.“How long are you going to look at it?” He took the phone away, glanced at her, and started getting dressed. He wasn’t the least bit embarrassed over the fact that she caught him cheating. Zoe knew very well that he was able to act this way because he was the
Six years! That was how long she had loved him! Zoe closed her eyes abruptly.…It was a Friday night. Something bad happened in the Sanders house. Mason still wasn’t home. They received news that the eldest child in the Sanders family, Noah, might be facing a ten-year sentence because of the Sanders Group’s financial case.Ten years imprisonment was long enough to ruin someone’s life. Her dad was hospitalized due to a brain hemorrhage. It was critical and he needed to undergo surgery immediately. Zoe stood in the hospital hallway and called Mason non-stop, but he didn’t answer. Just when she was about to give up, he sent her a text via WhatsApp. It was brief as usual. “I’m still in Hucksburgh. Find Ava if you need anything.”She gave him a call again, and he answered this time. Zoe said at once, “Mason. My dad is…” Mason cut her off abruptly. He sounded a tad impatient, “Is this about the money? I told you. Just look for Ava. She’ll hook you up… Are you even listening, Zoe?”
Mason went back to Brookesville three days later. It was already evening when the black RV rolled into the villa and the chauffeur killed its engine. Then, he opened the car door for his master.Mason got out of the car. He saw that the chauffeur was about to take his luggage and said, “I can do it myself.”The servants rushed at him as soon as he entered the living room. “Something happened to your father-in-law a few days ago, Mr. Mason. Ms. Zoe is in a bad mood. She’s upstairs now!”He knew what had happened to the Sanders family. Irritated, he took his luggage upstairs and opened his bedroom door. Zoe was tidying up the dresser. He put down his luggage, loosened his tie, and studied her. Zoe had loved doing the house chores, cleaning up, and making snacks ever since they had gotten married. If it had not been for her outstanding looks and graceful physique, she would have been no different from a nanny.Zoe did not say a word for a long time. Mason was quite worn out from the
