Yuna ate the fruits and asked, "Is there any difference between intentionally and on purpose?" Sherry sat down beside her. "For me, he's doing this on purpose intentionally!" Yuna nodded in agreement. "What now, then? Did you agree with his idea of letting his driver fetch you every day?" "I can't meet him now" She raised her left leg. "I can't talk with him through the phone either. It wouldn't be enough to make things clear to him. He might not even pick up the call." Sherry grew even more confused. "What is Jenkins trying to do here? Back when you were married, he didn't want to see you at all. But now, he shows up in front of you every day." Yuna didn't want to continue that topic, but she said, "When his driver comes to pick me up tomorrow, I'll make things clear to him. Oh, and tell Aunty Lucy not to leave at the same time as I do tomorrow." Sherry nodded. "I'll drive them tomorrow. We can leave earlier and have a nice breakfast together." "Thank you so much." …
"Are you asking for a chance to talk badly about me?" Hearing that, Yuna stared at him with confusion, as if she was asking what he meant by that. Yvan met her eyes. "To let others know that I exploited an injured employee." Yuna let out a dry laugh. "Don't worry, Mr. Jenkins. It's just a leg injury, not an injury to other parts of my body. It wouldn't be considered exploitation. Besides, we're working together because of that contract. I'll lose a lot of money if I don't complete my job on time, and I won't make a fuss when it comes to money." "What? Is the money you earned abroad not enough for you to retire?" Yuna almost mentioned how she needed to raise two children, but she swallowed those words when she calmed herself down. "Who would hate to have more money? Isn't more always better?" Yvan squinted and snickered. "I didn't realize that you were so obsessed with money." "No one isn't obsessed with money. It's true that I didn't care much about money seven years ago.
Since Yuna was injured, she couldn't do anything that required her to walk. Thus, after she reached the research center, she sat in her office. People would come over to discuss with her if there was anything important. She had just finished a meeting with her team about the day's task. Before they could settle down, Donovan pushed Rose away to force his way in. Rose said angrily, "Donavan, you can't come in here. You can't!" Donovan pushed her aside impatiently. "Get out of my way! Know your place here. Even Surra didn't say anything, so what are you blabbering about?" Watching Donovan entering the office arrogantly, Yuna frowned but said calmly, "It's okay, Rose. You can leave now." Rose pursed her lips and glared at Donovan unhappily before reluctantly leaving the office, following Yuna's instructions. After that, Donovan took his seat satisfactorily and casually rested his right arm on the table. "I'm here to offer my condolences, Surra." Yuna's eyes remained on her doc
After she got off from work, Yuna thought of contacting Sherry to pick her up. However, when she reached the entrance with her crutch, she saw that familiar car again. She chose to ignore it, but the driver had already got out of the car and walked toward her. "Let me help you, Ms. Feron." Yuna turned him down. "I've made it clear to Mr. Jenkins in the morning. You don't have to pick me up from work." The driver looked troubled and said, "But Mr. Jenkins is in the car right now. He asked me to come and pick you up. Ms. Feron, please don't make things difficult for me." Upon hearing that, Yuna's gaze shifted to the car. With a frown, she couldn't help but complain, "Is Mr. Jenkins always this free?" Back then, he was always busy working overtime or having dinners with clients, but now, he had been so free with nothing to do. The driver chuckled. "I'm just a driver, so I don't know much about Mr. Jenkins' schedule. Why not ask Michael about that, Ms. Feron?" Yuna didn't kno
Yuna held her cutleries, but her gaze was fixed on Yvan, who was eating. Since she returned from abroad, she found herself dining with him more times than during the two years of their marriage. It was funny to even think about it. "Do you not like the food?" Yvan asked, seeing her not touching her food. "I'm sick of this kind of food." Upon hearing that, Yvan thought that Yuna had been used to having foreign food all these years, which was why he chose this restaurant. "We'll go to another restaurant then." Seeing how Yvan got up and wanted to head to another restaurant, Yuna cut a piece of steak and began eating. "There's no need for that. We shouldn't waste food. Besides, I'm accompanying you to eat here, not the other way around. So it's all good as long as you're satisfied." But Yvan wasn't thinking that way. At that moment, someone stood beside their table. His hands rested on the table as he smiled widely. "I thought my eyes had deceived me, but it was actually you,
"Stay away from him," Yvan demanded. Yuna found it amusing. "Why should I stay away from someone just because you want me to? Mr. Jenkins, although we're in a business relationship, you shouldn't interfere with my personal affairs." Seeing her defiance, Yvan's mood worsened. He fixed her with an icy stare filled with frustration. "Do you think I want to be bothered with your matters? We haven't even caught the culprit behind the car crash, so he could still be a suspect. What if something happens to you again? Interfering with your personal affairs? How full of yourself can you be?" "So that's how it is. Then, please make things clear next time so I won't misunderstand, Mr. Jenkins." Yvan scoffed. "So you thought I was being so controlling because I have other feelings for you?" Yuna met his gaze. "Mr. Jenkins, you're the one who's full of yourself here." Her words instantly soured the atmosphere. The driver felt helpless. He had been an outsider to this matter, but he wis
Before leaving the hospital, Yvan received a call from Kiara. Instead of heading back to Birchwood Heights, he had to pick her up. When there was a team of traffic officers in front, he saw someone familiar standing beside Kiara. It was none other than Yuna's boyfriend, Harry. Harry didn't expect to see Yvan there either. When he realized that the woman's last name was Jenkins as well, he finally understood what was going on. To his surprise, they were actually siblings. Harry brought Kiara to Yvan. "Mr. Jenkins, please tell your sister not to disturb me while I'm working." Yvan narrowed his eyes at stared at Kiara for a few seconds. He then looked at Harry indifferently, "You're quite popular, aren't you?" "I'm alright, definitely not as popular as you are, Mr. Jenkins," Harry retorted firmly. "I'm still working, so I'll leave you two here." "Eh, don't go!" Yvan grabbed Kiara's arm, not letting her chase after him. "Get in the car first." "Ah, let go of me! Let me sa
Although that was what she said, Harry thought it might put Yuna in an unsafe situation again. He said drearily, "I thought I could at least help you, even a little." Yuna smiled and shook her head. "This isn't your fault. Besides, no one can stop what fate brings us." She then turned into a matchmaker. "Kiara's personality is similar to that of Grandpa Jenkins. They're among the very few people in the Jenkins family who treat me well. She's just very straightforward, but she's definitely not a bad person. Do you feel anything for her?" As Yuna asked this, even Sherry was blinking with excitement. Harry felt embarrassed being under their gaze. He drank his beer and avoided their eyes. He said dismissively, "I'm not interested in. Plusplus, her social status is too high." Yuna smiled. "I understand what you're worried about." Harry continued enjoying his supper, and his face became calm again. "Since she's so close to you, you should remind her not to appear at my workplace. I
At that moment, Natalie and Nathaniel were hiding in the bathroom. Natalie stared at Nathaniel, who was working on his laptop while sitting on the toilet bowl. "Nathaniel, is this alright?" "Why not? If he doesn't suffer from some trouble before he marries Mommy, he won't appreciate her in the future." "You're right. I suggest you make things harder for him then." "I think the same." And so, the kids set up something for them. After getting out of the car, Yvan and the others got into the elevator. Then, it suddenly stopped. Before they could react, a cartoon man appeared on the screen in the elevator. He then told them to solve some problems before the elevator could go up. Surprised, Gabriel said, "The bridesmaids are smart, aren't they? They've actually set up something like this for us." Lucian chuckled and said, "It's probably done by a computer genius." Yvan agreed to answer. Then, they started answering the questions. The bridesmaids were waiting for the groo
When Natalie and Nathaniel found out that Kiara was pregnant with Harry's child, they were overjoyed. That meant they were going to have a younger cousin. They also wanted to join in when they heard that their parents were going to have a wedding. They even wanted to get involved in the wedding decoration. Of course, Yvan let them do what they wanted. Considering the fact that Kiara got pregnant, she and Harry would be having their wedding first. Although they didn't have much time, the Jenkins family helped in setting the best wedding they could afford. It was rare for the Jenkins family to be so lively and busy. Since Harry was an orphan, Sherry and Yuna were his only family who would be attending the wedding. His ex-colleagues and workers in his club would be invited as well. At the wedding, Sherry and Yuna watched as they exchanged rings and vows. They were touched at the sight. They hugged each other with tears streaming down their faces. Sherry said, "I though
Because of Kiara's news, Yvan and Yuna didn't have the chance to enjoy a candlelight dinner. They headed over to see Kiara. They arrived at Harry's club. At that moment, Kiara and Harry were sitting in the office like kids who did something wrong. They waited for Yuna and Yvan to come. When Sherry heard the sound of the door opening, she told them, "Hoho, they're here. Better be careful." After that, Yuna and Yvan entered the room as expected. Without saying a word, Yvan grabbed Harry's collar. Kiara quickly protected him. "Yvan Jenkins, if you dare to land a finger on my man, I won't let you off!" "He's pushing you around!" "Bullshit!" Yvan and Kiara glared at each other hard. Stuck in the middle, Harry raised his hands high. "I will marry Kiara." Yuna quickly dragged Yvan to the side. "Are you going to beat Harry up?" she asked. "They're dating! Besides, they're adults. Since it has come to this, it's up to them to decide their future. I'm telling you, Kiara's b
Yuna pushed him away. "Alright, I'll tell him to come over and chat a bit longer then." Hearing that, Yvan became helpless. He pulled her into his arms. "I was just joking. I didn't want that to happen, either." Yuna smirked. Knowing that she only said that to upset him, Yvan said impatiently, "You really want to see me suffer, don't you?" "Is it too much for you then?" "Of course not. You can do anything you want to me," Yvan said lovingly. Right then, Yuna's phone rang. "It's Carl. Let me answer the call." Hearing that name, Yvan was once again frustrated. Compared to Ashton, Carl was an even bigger competition. Carl was the one who could threaten Yvan's place in Yuna's heart. "Carl." Hearing Yuna's tone when she spoke to Carl, Yvan wished he could end the call for her. After that, he'd find the nearest hotel and give this woman a good punishment. But he couldn't. He could only hold it in. "Are you doing well in Jefton State?" Carl asked. "Yes, I am." "I
Although Arthur explained everything to him, Jacob was still unwilling to accept the truth. He even denied it. Because of all the horrible things he did, Arthur eventually told Yvan to send Jacob to the cops. He'd be locked up in jail for his whole life. Arthur had no regrets. He could only blame himself for not teaching his child well. Yvan didn't ask Arthur too much about it. He followed Arthur's instructions and sent Jacob to jail. This matter was then settled. Yvan decided to hide Jacob's identity so that this incident wouldn't get out. It was also to prevent the Jenkins family from being the talk of town. Arthur allowed him to do so. …The fact that Yvan and Yuna had made up was sudden and surprising for everyone. They were curious about what happened between those two. Since Yuna was back in Jefton State, she decided to meet up with Ashton. "Do you really have to see him?" Yvan asked. "Don't forget about your promise," Yuna reminded. Yvan could only listen t
Seeing his reaction, Arthur was utterly disappointed. "That's what you want to believe." Arthur sighed and said, "Forget it. It was me who didn't take everything into consideration and caused you to misunderstand us. "You always thought that your mother and I side with Felix because he's weaker than you. But you're wrong. We raised both of you equally well. But you weren't willing to work hard. "Felix said he's physically weak, so he had to study harder than you. He wanted to support you and guide you while you inherit the family company." "No way!" Jacob's eyes were bloodshot. His mind went blank because of what his father said. But Arthur wasn't done talking. Standing in front of Jacob, he said, "You're the one who plotted the car accident against Felix and Yvan, weren't you?" "That's right." "You're so foolish. Felix has been weak since birth. They only managed to bring Yvan into this world through countless IVF rounds."His health has worsened since earlier on, but h
In the Jenkins Residence study, Jacob was tied onto a chair after being brought there from abroad. Facing Arthur, who was standing across from him, he had no trace of fear or guilt. Instead, there was only resentment. He looked as if he wished he could murder Arthur now. Sneering, he said, "Now that your children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren are here, you're probably over the moon, Father." Arthur had a serious look as he stared at Jacob. Walking toward him, Arthur sent a few slaps across his face. "You useless piece of trash. How dare you speak to me like that?" Bending his head, Jacob howled, "Why can't I say that? You're the one who abandoned me back then, weren't you?" Impatient, Arthur said, "Ask yourself if I was the one who abandoned you or if you chose to leave us!" Jacob continued to yell, "Wasn't it you who sided with Felix back then? If not, would I have wanted to leave?" Arthur was so mad that he clutched his chest and panted. Pointing at Jac
After half a month, they boarded the flight back to Jefton State. All this while, Yvan and the kids had been getting along. Their relationship seemed like one between normal families. The kids watched as their parents sat closely with each other. They then turned their heads away. Natalie asked with a soft voice, "Nathaniel, are you planning to let Daddy know about how you've taken so much of his money back then?" Crossing his arms, Nathaniel said, "He's rich anyway. He doesn't have to be bothered by the amount of money that I took him for." Giggling, Natalie said, "You don't dare to tell him, do you?" Nathaniel kept his chin up and said, "There's nothing I should be afraid of." "Don't worry. I'll side with you. If Daddy bullies Mommy again, you should steal tens of billions of money from him." "Smart girl." …Finally, they arrived at Jefton State. Harry and the others had been waiting for them at the airport. When they saw Yuna and the kids coming out, Sherry and
After that, Yuna and the kids had been accompanying Yvan in the hospital for rehab. At the same time, Master Eastin was discharged. "Are you planning to bring Natalie and Nathaniel to Jefton State after he recovers?" Master Eastin asked. "Yeah, I'll deal with the last bit of things here. I'll still head back to Phoenix City after that," Yuna explained. "I can't just leave my work at the research center behind." "Since you've made up with that brat, you should think about what's going to happen next. Don't rush things just so you can return to the research center and work," Master Eastin said with a smile. "Those are two different matters." With a determined look, she said, "It's impossible for me to give up on my career because of anyone." Satisfied, Master Eastin nodded. "That's what we're talking about." Yuna smiled a little and said, "Master Eastim, do you really have to go back to Phoenix City now?" "I left a bunch of problems behind when I was taken away. I have to
