The car sped off. Yuna turned her head and asked curiously, "Why are you here?" "Waiting for you," Yvan said. Hearing that, Yuna was dumbstruck. She then quickly averted her gaze, pretending to be unbothered. "Are you looking for me to talk about tomorrow's press conference? If that's the case, you could've just called me. You didn't need to wait for me here," she said. But Yvan answered, "I went out in a rush yesterday and forgot to bring my keys. So I couldn't enter the house." Yuna and the driver both became speechless. But Yvan didn't seem to sense the awkwardness in the car. "I didn't expect something like this would happen while waiting for you. Who did you offend this time?" After he returned to the main topic, Yuna didn't ask more about what Yvan had mentioned earlier. She was also curious about who would wait for her at the company entrance to kidnap her. She shook her head. "I don't know." Right then, Yvan's phone rang. It was Michael. He was done interrog
Yuna felt awkward. "Let me down, Yvan. Didn't you hear what the doctor said? I'm fine." Yvan lowered his gaze and glared at her. "Then, did you forget what he said afterward?" Yuna couldn't find an answer to that. In the end, she let him carry her into the car. Not wanting anybody to recognize her, she lowered her head the whole time. "You're not allowed to wear heels for tomorrow's press," Yvan ordered. "What should I wear if not heels?" "Flats." Yuna laughed. "Mr. Jenkins, who would wear flats to attend an event? Heels are a must." "Do you want to injure your legs again then?" Yvan said icily. Yuna said, "I wouldn't be walking a lot. I'd be sitting down most of the time. And I'm also driving to the event." Not sparing her a glance, Yvan remained firm. "Do what I say if you don't want me to throw away all your heels." Yuna put on a polite smile again. "Mr. Jenkins, you seem to be interfering with my private life again." "I was the cause of your leg injury back th
Since Yuna couldn't guess the reason behind his action, she gave up and lay down on her bed. She checked the time before sending a text to Cedric. She planned to video call them if the twins were still having breakfast. But almost instantly, Cedric told her the children had gone to school. Disappointed, she gave up on video calling them. She'd just have to text them earlier tomorrow. However, she didn't know that Cedric had already brought the twins over to stay at Spencer's place. The moment Spencer got the news that his brother was heading to his apartment, he left all his work behind and rushed back home. When he opened the door, he thought he must be imagining things because of how much he missed the twins. He saw Natalie and Nathaniel sitting on the couch, waving at him with huge smiles. "Cedric! They, they—" Wiping his hand dry with a paper towel, Cedric nodded. "Yeah, I brought them here." After that, he sighed in secret. He only realized that he was tricked by
Yuna was confused when she heard Yvan's order. But seeing that he was walking onto the stage already, she could only compose herself and follow him.Originally, Yuna had to introduce the product while standing up. But Yvan decided to make her do the introduction while sitting down. Nobody sensed anything weird with the sudden change. As Yuna focused on presenting the product, Yvan's gaze was fixed on her legs. It was so cold that her legs were now burning red. Yvan glanced at Michael at his side and said softly, "Get a blanket." Instinctively, Michael's eyes went to Yuna. Realizing what was going on, he quickly asked someone to bring a blanket over. "That's all about this product. I'll end my presentation here. Thank you." With a smile, Yuna nodded. The audience gave her a round of applause. To her surprise, she felt something covering up her legs the next second. She lowered her head to see Yvan laying the blanket over her thighs. Yuna widened her eyes in shock. Sh
"Nathaniel is growing up too fast," Spencer said. Even Cedric sighed softly. With Natalie in his arms, he made a look at Spencer so that he would stop talking. Ever since Cedric found out that Nathaniel knew who their father was, he never saw him as a mere six-year-old child again. It was clear that Nathaniel had his own way of thinking now. Cedric would have to meet Yuna and talk to her about it as soon as possible. After heading back into his room, Nathaniel contacted Jeremiah. Hearing all the loud noises from Jeremiah's end of the call, Nathaniel asked with a frown. "Where are you now?" "Where do you think?" Jeremiah had to yell into the phone. "For heaven's sake, this dumbass Jerry actually sneaked into some horrible place like this!" Jeremiah let out a few curses before quickly stopping himself. "Don't swear like your Uncle, alright?" Nathaniel rolled his eyes. "So you haven't caught Jerry yet?" "Your dad sent over some men to look for him too. I have to be super
Yuna had no excuse to turn him down, so she agreed. "I'll attend the dinner." Yvan watched as she walked out of his office. He finally looked away after a long while. Just when he took his phone out to check the trending topic on the internet, Daisy called him. He frowned and answered the call. But he heard a stranger's voice from his phone. "Is this Mr. Jenkins?" "Who are you?" "Mr. Jenkins, I'm from the psychiatric clinic. Ms. Bailey came to have a mental check-up, but the results weren't the best. "She hasn't even woken up from the hypnosis test yet. Since she came alone and we found you in her emergency contact, we called to tell you about the situation." Yvan's face darkened. He asked, "Where is the clinic?" After ending the call, he stood up and went to see Daisy. …That night, Yuna came as promised. The private room was filled with her previous teammates from West Drew Institute, but the president and the vice president were absent. However, she didn't see Y
Yvan had stuffed Yuna into the passenger seat before driving off. Yuna was speechless by his behavior, and it always upset her. She frowned and didn't seem very happy about what he did. "You're always so pushy. Don't you think you're crossing a line here?" Eyes fixed on the road ahead, Yvan drove as he said, "Since taking you away by force always worked, why should I be patient and persuade you into doing something?" Yuna couldn't find words to reply to him. What kind of explanation was that? She jerked her head away. It felt utterly frustrating to look at Yvan's face. Seeing the night view and the road signs, Yuna asked, "Where are you driving me to?" "Delwell Retreat." After hearing his answer, Yuna instantly yelled, "That's near the suburbs! What are we doing there? One night wouldn't be enough to travel back and forth. Aren't you going to work tomorrow?" "It doesn't matter whether I go to work or not." "But I want to." "You're the junior CEO now. Do you still
Yuna didn't refuse it. She took the cup and sipped on the warm tea. That put a smile on Yvan's face. He asked, "Did you video call Natalie and Nathaniel these days?" When Yuna heard that, she glanced at him with caution. "They have to go to school, so I can't video call them every day." From what she said, Yvan could tell that Yuna still didn't know the twins had come to Jefton State. "I remember you mentioned that Natalie and Nathaniel also came to Jefton State in secret when you just arrived here. Were you mad at them?" Yvan had never asked her about anything related to the twins ever since he found out about their existence. She couldn't help but feel confused about why he was only asking about them now after a long time."What? Is that a difficult question for you too?" Yvan asked. "I was upset at first. But they're just kids, after all. They only came to see me because they had never been separated from me before," Yuna explained. "What if they secretly come to Je
