Seeing her reaction, Yvan's smirked and turned off the lights. He was sleeping on Yuna's right. When he was fully lying down, his arm stretched to pull her toward him. Yuna froze. "Just sleep already if you really want to sleep here. Why are you touching me?" "Nothing bad would happen if you stay in this position." Yvan's voice rang above Yuna's head. She could even feel the vibration of his Adam's apple. Yuna wanted to get rid of him desperately. "Yvan Jenkins, even if you have good intentions, don't forget that I'm married with children!" "So what?" Yvan said nonchalantly, "How many times do you want to repeat it? If you really wanted to remind me of this, you should've told me the first time we did it." When Yuna heard those words, she was momentarily at a loss for words. Pursing her lips, she remained silent. Seeing that she finally stopped resisting, Yvan didn't argue with her anymore. "Sleep well if you don't want anything to happen to your waist." Upon hearing that
Yuna thought that Yvan must've known she would ask Michael about this, that was why he made that arrangement. She asked again, "Then when Mr. Jenkins finds out where Jerry is, what would he do?" Michael shook his head awkwardly, "Ms. Feron, I'm afraid I don't have an answer for that either. It'd be better if you ask Mr. Jenkins himself." "If I could ask him, I wouldn't be asking you here," Yuna said honestly. "That might not be true. Mr. Jenkins would tell you anything you want to ask," Michael replied confidently. "Really? Then why hasn't he told me about what he found out regarding the accident from seven years ago?" Her words left Michael speechless again. After all, Yvan had been the one who did everything himself. It wasn't as though he could read the man's mind. Yuna decided to drop the subject. "Alright, I won't make it difficult for you anymore. You wouldn't know what Mr. Jenkins is thinking all the time too." Michael nodded. "Thank you for your understanding."
When only the mother and son were left in the office, Diana asked, "Are you lying to me about the matter between you and Daisy?" Yvan seemed nonchalant. "I have no reason to lie to you about something like this. Please don't cause any trouble to Yuna regarding this issue anymore." Diana grew agitated. "It's all because of Yuna Feron, isn't it? If you have feelings for that woman, why did you divorce her back then?" Yvan found himself at a loss for words upon hearing that question. Approaching him, Diana tried to persuade him, "You don't have any feelings for that woman. It was just the news of her death that made you feel guilty. That's why you felt this way when she returned alive. Haven't you noticed that, Yvan? This is just an evil plot of that woman." Hearing that, Yvan took a deep breath. In front of his own mother, he would hold back from saying anything. He merely explained, "This has nothing to do with Yuna." "Why is that? If she never returned, you and Daisy would'
That night, Yuna booked a private room in Jefton State's finest restaurant so that everyone could celebrate to their hearts' content with food and drinks. After three rounds of drinks, her phone vibrated. She looked at it to find that it was a call from Yvan. With a frown, she wheeled herself to the window. Only then did she pick up the call. Yvan's scolding could be heard even before she spoke. "Why did you take so long to answer the call?" Yuna felt that this man was simply too controlling. "I'm drinking." Yvan scolded again, "Did you forget that you have injuries?" Yuna gently touched the healing scab on her face. Honestly, she could stand up and walk without any issue, but she was asked to be in a wheelchair. "I know how to take care of myself since this is my body. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now." "I'll come over to see you later." "Hey!" Although frustrated, Yuna couldn't help but laugh. But he had already hung up on her. If the others found out that
"After hearing that your project has become a success, I want to help you celebrate as well. It's a shame that Ashton is on a business trip now, or we could've celebrated together." Hearing his words, Yuna remained impassive. "This is a celebratory dinner for my work. You don't have to help celebrate it with me. Since Mr. Yale isn't here, we can meet up another time." With that, she was about to wheel around and leave, but Darren had no intention of letting her go. His hands remained on the wheelchair handles as he leaned in closer to her ear. "I've heard some gossip about you and Jenkins, and that piqued my interest. Why don't you spare some time for me? We can sit down, have some drinks and talk about it." Upon hearing that, Yuna held the wheels with his hands, trying to stop the wheelchair from moving. "Mr. Bowman, since when have you become interested in such gossip?" "Of course, I'm not interested in those gossip. I'm just interested to know about things related to you."
On the way back home, Yuna gave in and thanked him. But she didn't receive any response from Yvan. He didn't speak a single word to her even after they reached Birchwood Heights. Yuna was confused. She didn't even know how to handle this situation. The first thing that popped up in her mind was whether Darren had said something to Yvan. However, Yvan chose to be quiet about it. She couldn't really guess what was on his mind. Seeing how Yvan went to the study right after they reached, she didn't want to interrupt him and went back to her room. Not long after, she got a call from Nathaniel. After regaining her composure, she heard Natalie's voice first. "Mommy, Mommy, I miss you so much. When are you coming back?" Yuna wished she could appear before her twins right now. "Mommy was planning to tell you some good news tomorrow. Mommy's work is done here." "Really?" Natalie was so happy that she almost clapped. "Since Mommy's work is done now, does that mean Mommy can be with me and N
Yvan snickered and said, "You just finished a collaborative project with me, and now you're already agreeing to work with Yale. What? You couldn't wait any longer, could you?" Yuna remained still, her gaze fixed on him. She asked casually, "Mr. Jenkins, have you forgotten who I am? I'm a researcher. My teacher was the one who found this collaborative project with you for me. After this, I would have to find projects for myself. I'm just making sure that I won't have blank periods in my career. Is it wrong of me to agree to collaborate with Mr. Yale in advance? Or do you think that I've been leaking the secrets of your research project to Mr. Yale all this while?" She continued, "Mr. Jenkins, unless you can provide evidence of me breaching our contract, you have no right to say anything about me. We're only business partners in this project. You have no right to interfere with my decisions outside of it." Her words caused an instant chill in the air.Seeing how Yuna was so desper
"Alright, you win!" Yuna said, sounding completely defeated. "You win this time, happy?" Seeing her reaction, Yvan's face darkened. His mood soured. However, he suppressed his anger and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?" Of course, Yuna had a lot more to say."Yes, I'm playing with your feelings." Yuna stared right at him. "Have you forgotten what you did to me seven years ago? You were the one who got me kicked out of the house, which caused me to get into that accident. I was even the laughingstock of Jefton State." Yuna removed his hands and got out of bed, leaning against the wardrobe. "Yvan Jenkins, stop playing the victim. Do you think the suffering was greater than mine?" Seeing her in this way made Yvan's heart ache. He got up, but Yuna moved further away from him. "Do you have any idea of how I lived for that one month after you divorced me and got me kicked out of the Feron family? Yvan, even dogs would have feelings after living together with a hum
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
