Hearing that, Yuna teased him, "Now that's your fault, Spencer. When you have to work, you actually used Natalie and Nathaniel as an excuse to slack off." Natalie raised her head and said, "Uncle Spencer, if you don't work hard and earn money, you can't buy me pets anymore." Spencer pinched her cheeks. "Uncle Spencer can buy you pets even if he doesn't work for another ten years." "I won't look good anymore if you pinch my cheeks and they get swollen!" Natalie pouted and said, "Paige said I can be a child star." "Ah!" Spencer looked at Paige with a smile. "Alright, Paige. You're trying to get my niece to become a child star." Paige raised her brow proudly. "Look at how good-looking both Natalie and Nathaniel are. If they can become child stars, I won't even have to sign other artists for the rest of my life. It'd be enough to take care of them, and it would be much easier than taking care of you." "Don't worry, Surra will never allow it." Unfazed, Paige shrugged. "I'm not
"So, are you not going to come down?" Instead of doing or saying anything after hearing Yuna's complaint, Yvan merely asked again. Yuna felt helpless when she heard his answer. "Is there anything you need from me?" "If I can tell you through the phone, would I have put in effort to drive all over here?" That instantly rendered Yuna speechless."For the third time, come downstairs," Yvan rushed her with that arrogant tone again. Yuna reluctantly gave in. After getting changed, she left some words for Aunty Lucy before heading downstairs. She saw Yvan smoking in the driver's seat. Taking a deep breath, she sat in the passenger seat. Yvan furrowed brow relaxed the moment he saw her. He threw the cigarette on the ashtray before driving off. The car moved slowly on the road. Yuna glanced at him and asked, "Where are you taking me to?" "You'll know when we get there." "Then, why do you need to meet me? Is it about the product release?" "Why would I talk about work with you
Yuna watched as he raised his champagne glass, his face showing nothing but sincerity. Yvan's hand, raising the glass, never went down. He said, "Can you let go of what happened back then for now? I just want to celebrate your birthday." Without a word, Yuna raised her glass and clinked it with his. She took a sip and said, "Thank you." Not long after that, the waiter served them their food, even placing a delicate mini cake in the center. Right then, Yvan took out a lighter and lit the candle. "Make a wish." Yuna didn't want to ruin the peaceful and beautiful moment they were having. She closed her eyes and made a wish. Yvan stared at her in silence, a smile appearing on his face. When Yuna opened her eyes again, he returned to his usual expression. He said, "Don't let my preparation go to waste. You have to finish this." Yuna glanced at the mini cake and said, "I won't be able to finish the whole cake by myself. Let's split it in half." "Have you ever seen me eating d
Although she felt Yvan was acting strangely that night, Yuna didn't mention it. She simply ate the cake in front of her. Suddenly, Yvan raised his glass. "I wish you a happy birthday." This time, Yuna didn't hesitate. After the toast, she downed the glass of champagne. Seeing her reaction, Yvan seemed delighted. He placed the glass down and asked, "Now that you've left West Drew, what are your plans?" "Do you still want to have a collaborative research project with me? If so, I'm afraid I can't do that. For the next month or two, I'll be pausing any work with the research centers," Yuna reported honestly. "So it's true that you plan to work with the Feron company?" "Yeah." Yuna nodded and eyed Yvan suspiciously. Unbothered, Yvan met her gaze. "Although you're holding thirty percent of the company shares, it would be hard for you to safely set foot in the Feron company." "You don't have to worry about that. I'll deal with it myself." "Are you not going to accept my hel
The moment she heard the question, Yuna broke out in a cold sweat, but Yvan had a playful smile on his lips. "What? I'm just asking you a question. But you seem extremely nervous." At that moment, Yuna wondered if Yvan had found out about something. Was that why he was trying to get information out of her? "There's no need for you to be nervous. Since we're sitting here, of course, we should have a chat. We can't be here talking about the unhappy events from seven years ago, can we?" Scrunching up her brow, Yuna said, "Whether or not it's about the events from seven years ago or about my children, I don't feel like talking about it with you. That's if you want to have a peaceful conversation with me." "What exactly are you afraid of?" Yvan frowned. "Do you actually think I'll do something to your children?" "Who knows?" "Yuna Feron." Yvan's patience seemed to have been used up. "What kind of person do you think I am?" "Mr. Jenkins, how do you think I should view you then?
There was a flash of unknown emotions in Yvan's eyes when he heard that, but Yuna spoke with her usual tone, "Sherry and Harry are the only ones I share close interactions with. There's nobody else." Yvan found out about that too, but he felt somewhat bitter seeing how she said that in such a relaxed manner. After he had a last puff of the cigarette, he said, "Apart from Sherry and Harry, did you really not interact with anybody else? What about the Feron family and the Jenkins family? Aren't they humans too?" Yuna said, "If that's the case, the scope would be much wider." "You can try to think of people who disliked you." "You're wrong about that." Yuna instantly denied that possibility. "Back then, the culprit made a call right in front of me. He said your name," she blurted out.With that said, the look on Yvan's face completely changed, while Yuna's face became tense. She realized that she said something she shouldn't. Yvan narrowed his eyes. When he saw she was about to
Yvan was laughing out of anger as he nodded. He wasn't angry at Yuna. He was angry at this person, who not only wanted Yuna dead but even wanted to create a rift between Yuna and him, which caused a huge misunderstanding. Now, he became even more curious as to who was behind the accident. Yuna went back to the topic at hand and continued, "Now that we know that person mentioned Mr. Jenkins on purpose, he was definitely trying to make me think of you at that moment and led me to misunderstand you. Perhaps that person didn't really want me dead. They just wanted to frame you. Instead of having something against me, maybe they had something against you." At that moment, Yvan became deep in thought. Yuna felt that she wasn't wrong. "Do you think what I said wasn't right?" Yvan stared at her with a serious look. "If the culprit was actually calling someone who went by Mr. Jenkins, do you know that we have a lot of people called Mr. Jenkins in the Jenkins family? Not only that, our f
After she sent out that text, Yuna stood before the mirror and regained her composure. Yvan had been acting too strangely tonight. She had to be more careful to stop him from getting information out of her. Once she got hold of herself, Yuna went back upstairs. This time, she asked as she sat down, "Mr. Jenkins, you can ask them to dock the cruise now, can't you?" "Okay." Hearing that, Yuna stared at Yuna, looking slightly shocked. She could only watch him maintain a cool face without much facial expression. And the cruise went near the riverside. Was he really going to let her go just like that? Yuna didn't say anything more, for fear that she wouldn't be able to control her mouth, causing Yvan to change his mind. When the cruise finally docked, Yuna, who was anxious to leave, quickly picked up her things and got up. Seeing how desperate she seemed, Yvan was displeased but didn't show it. When they reached the shore, Yuna felt more at ease. She took the initiative and said,
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
