Watching how Yvan walked toward the third room with ease, she narrowed her eyes. When she shot Michael a questioning glance, he only gave her an awkward smile. "Ms. Feron, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. Call me if there's any problem." "I won't see you off then." Michael couldn't wait to leave. He was afraid that they would fight again. Then, he'd have to move Yvan's suitcases out. That'd be awkward. Yuna closed the door. She couldn't be bothered to ask if Yvan needed anything else in the room since he moved in quite abruptly. Instead, she went into her bedroom and took a shower. As she lay in the bathtub, she received many texts from her friends, much to her surprise. They had found out about her car accident. She could only reassure them one by one that she was safe. The next second, Sherry rang her up. "Have you gotten home yet? I'll come downstairs now." Yuna nearly jumped out of her bathtub. "I'm having a bath now. And later I'll be having a meeting
Natalie and Nathaniel were at the dining table having their meal. Aunty Reina would appear in the background sometimes, so she greeted Yuna. "Mommy, Nathaniel and I have received your gifts." Yuna smiled gently. "Do you like it?" Natalie nodded. "Thank you for the gifts, Mommy." Yuna looked at Nathaniel, who wasn't speaking. She asked, "What about you, Nathaniel?" "It's not bad." Although Nathaniel was still mad at her, he'd still reply. Yuna expected worse than this. All of this was her fault, after all. She could only try to better her relationship with the twins. "Mommy, have you settled the matters there?" Natalie asked. Yuna pursed her lips and said with a troubled look. "Sorry, Natalie. Mommy isn't done dealing with things here." There was a look of disappointment on Natalie's face. "Uncle Cedric called us yesterday too. He said that he'll be back to accompany us soon." "Really? Does that mean Uncle Cedric can bring you two to the science museum?" Natalie
"What do you want to talk about?" "You want me to stand here and talk to you?" Yvan asked. Yuna realized that he was changing his strategy. His patient tone caught her off guard. But there was no other way around it. Being talked to in a gentle tone was always her Achilles' heel. So, she let him in. Yvan scanned the study. He found that the shelves were filled with books about research. There were only a few decorations in this minimalistic study room. He moved his gaze away and sat on the chair. Yuna sat across from him. "You can talk to me now." "It's about what happened during your dinner with Kiara." Yuna wasn't surprised to hear that. After all, Kiara left to tell Yvan about that incident back then. "Because of you, my life has become much more interesting." That made Yvan chuckle. "Are you mocking me now?" "Then, are you expecting me to praise you for being so attractive?" Yuna continued mocking him. Lighting up a cigarette, he got into business. "The Step
Yuna seemed kind of awkward about it. She passed one of the sandwiches to him. "Aren't sandwiches a classic breakfast? Here, have one of these." Yvan accepted the sandwich with a frown. He rarely had this as a meal. It wasn't that he didn't like eating it, but Hesta would make fresh ones for him in the morning. His breakfast usually consisted of something simple, such as milk, bacon, and eggs. "What? Are you not used to the lifestyle of a regular citizen? You can always move back to Birchwood Heights. I wouldn't know what to say to Grandpa Jenkins and the rest if you grow thinner from hunger." Yuna made fun of him. "Have you been watching too many TV series?" Yvan mocked her as he took a bite right away. "Do you have milk?" Yuna got up and took a bottle of probiotic drink from the fridge. "Here." Yvan stared at the tiny bottle of probiotics and frowned in confusion. "There are no preservatives in this drink. It's safe. It's also Natalie and Nathaniel's favorite. I would
Yuna could see how hopeful Liam seemed. She felt a pang of guilt. Her initial plan was to defeat Herbert and sell off all her shares. Then, she'd leave Jefton State and never come back. But she couldn't bring herself to do that after seeing Liam's hopeful look. "Yuna?" Yuna regained her composure and hid the change of emotions inside her. She smiled and said, "Yeah, I believe the company will get better from now on. Mom would rest in peace too." "That's right, your Mom would definitely rest in peace." Liam smiled cheerily. Yuna couldn't look at Liam's face anymore. Instead, she became depressed with her own thoughts. At noon, she asked Harry and Sherry out for lunch to talk about it. "According to what you said, it seems a bit cruel for Mr. Lawson if things proceed as you planned." Sherry agreed. She understood what Yuna was feeling. Harry drank some juice with a serious look. "That's right, but Yuna wouldn't stay in Jefton State and live here. She has her own job. Sh
The voice came from behind her. Yuna was so shocked that she instantly turned her phone off. "Nothing." Yvan already saw it from the corner of his eyes just now. It was a picture of two children and a man. He frowned and brushed past Yuna. He didn't ask her what that picture was about. Watching his back, Yuna sighed in relief. But she realized there were some changes in the house as she entered. Yet she couldn't tell what it was. What was going on? She then saw Yvan bringing food out from the kitchen. "Wash your hands and come eat." Yuna couldn't believe Yvan could make food appear out of thin air. "Where did you get this from?" "I asked Hesta to come over and prepare it." "You called Hesta over?" "She doesn't stay here for a long time. It's only when we're not home. She'd come here to clean up and cook," Yvan explained. He placed one plate of food after another onto the table. "What are you waiting for? Do you think I spiked the food? Wash your hands and come eat
Yvan leaned back on the chair. He placed his arms on the table and smiled slightly at her. "Did you forget that I have shares in the Feron company and that I sponsored your project? Shouldn't I be concerned about anything that might not benefit me? Or do you think that my money grows on trees?" Yuna was speechless. It seemed like she was just imagining things then. "Don't worry. Nothing will happen to the Feron company or the Thornbeak project. You won't lose out on anything," Yuna promised him. Her words reminded Yvan of something. His lips curled into a smile. "Looks like you have an idea of what to do already." "Is that important?" "As long as you think it is." Yvan had finished eating his food. "Leave the dishes. Hesta will clean up tomorrow." After that, he got up and went into his room. Yuna turned her face away. As she watched his back, she had millions of thoughts running through her mind. Her relationship with Yvan was peaceful for now. It was as if they we
"Yvan Jenkins! Talk to me now! Hearing no response at all, Yuna grew anxious as she waited. She immediately went to grab the toolbox and was going to smash the doorknob. To her surprise, the door opened when she was about to do it. Yvan had a bathrobe on with a towel hung on his neck. The heat from the shower was coming off him. He seemed better than ever. With a smile, he looked at the pliers in Yuna's hand and made fun of her, "Were you about to tear the door down?" When Yuna saw how well he seemed, she became frustrated. "Don't you know how to make a sound?" "You were worried about me then?" She was annoyed. "You're imagining things! If the president of TN Group passes out and dies in my apartment, won't my address be published in the headlines tomorrow?" Yvan crossed his arms and leaned against the doorframe. "So that's how it is." Seeing that he was alright, Yuna couldn't be bothered to argue with him further. "Please reply to me next time. It's common courtesy
