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
When Lucian heard that, his eyes instantly lit up. Sitting beside Yvan, he asked eagerly, "Did you talk about that with Yuna? Was it her who told you she still can't get over what happened seven years ago?" Yvan hesitated. He couldn't bring himself to tell them he made a fool of himself when he was with Yuna just now. Gulping some wine down, he said coolly, "Do I need her to tell me about that?" Gabriel answered, "Oh, so this is just your guess." Lucian didn't believe that at all. There must be a story behind it. He knew what kind of person Yvan was, so he didn't press further. He said, "It's only normal for Yuna to be hung up on what happened seven years ago. Did you forget how her life was after you divorced her?" When he heard that, Yvan instantly recalled that Yuna had said something similar. "In the end, she got hit by a car out of nowhere. If it wasn't that she was strong enough to survive, got saved, and went abroad, she would've actually died." Yvan continued to dri
The next day, Yuna woke up as usual. After washing up, she went downstairs to have breakfast. But seeing no signs of Yvan around her felt a bit off. "Has Mr. Jenkins left?" she asked Hesta. "Mr. Jenkins hasn't come back since last night," Hesta reported as she placed the milk down. Yuna was surprised when she heard that. Did Yvan go out last night? And did he actually stay out all night? She recalled the argument she had with him last night. Could it be that because of her words, he … Instantly, Yuna felt those thoughts were absurd. How could it be possible that Yvan was affected by her words? He must've left because of some other matters. Yuna finished her breakfast early and left the house. She had a busy day ahead. Not only did she have to conclude the project at the research center, but she also had to have a conversation with Yvan in her capacity as a researcher today. When she reached the research center, the other staff were still reminiscing about the celebratory di
At the same time, David walked forward to defend Mayson, "Surra, you really shouldn't be questioning Mayson about this. He's just doing what the higher-ups asked him to. If you really want to ask for explanations, you should go see the—" "What? Are you so well-informed about what's on my contract, Mr. Kirk?" Yuna said with a slight smile. "That's strange. As a party to this contract, I wasn't even informed about this. However, you, an outsider, knew." The atmosphere became tense. David's face turned ice-cold as he spoke, "Surra, you didn't have to talk to me that way." Yuna stared at him. "Mr. Kirk, don't you think you shouldn't be interrupting when I'm having a conversation with Mayson now?" David instantly shut up. Yuna didn't spare any more energy on him. She looked at Mayson and said, "Mayson, since you say you don't have any say in this, who should I go to? The president?" "Yuna, for this matter—" "Mayson, this wasn't what I was told when you guys invited me over.
At the same time, Nathaniel arrived near the entrance of TN Group as per the plan. Sitting in his car, his eyes were fixed on the skyscraper as he worked on his laptop. The driver said, "We've arrived, kiddo." Nathaniel immediately took out a hundred-dollar bill and passed it to him. "Uncle, I can't reach my Dad yet. Can you let me sit here for a while longer?" When the driver picked the kid up, he knew he was from a rich family. Someone would hold him responsible if he simply left the kid here. He accepted the money. "Okay, we'll wait till your Dad's here." Yvan had left the company earlier. He arrived at the entrance of Warton Kindergarten. He had come in secret so that Kiara couldn't inform Yuna about this. He had to see Yuna's two children with his own eyes. No one dared to stop him when he entered and headed right toward Class A. But before he could go in, a kid dashed out from the corner and bumped into him. Natalie fell and sat down on the floor. Caressing her forehe
After ending the call, Yuna went to see the teacher at the school office immediately. Coincidentally, she avoided Yvan, who was heading to the headmistress' office. She sat in the teacher's office, where the teacher had already been waiting for her. When she saw Yuna, she quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, Ms. Feron. We checked all the surveillance cameras and discovered Nathaniel had gone into an e-hailing cab. We're now contacting the driver of the service, so we'll find out what's going on soon enough." Hearing that, Yuna frowned a little. She couldn't understand why Nathaniel would enter an e-hailing cab for no reason. "Can I know which direction the car was heading?" "It was driving toward Whitney Street." That made Yuna's heart sink. Didn't Whitney Street lead to the direction where TN Group was? Nathaniel wouldn't have known about anything. She must be overthinking it. She quickly called Harry and told him the direction where the car Nathaniel hailed was heading to
