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
Right then, Yvan removed the hand covering his forehead. When Yuna saw his swollen forehead after being hit by her, she became dumbstruck. Guilt filled her eyes. She didn't think it would be that serious. "I'll call to ask if there's any ointment at the front desk." "You want them to think we need the ointment because we did something strange?" Yvan rejected the idea. Not wanting to be misunderstood, Yuna didn't feel like making the call anymore. Yvan sensed that she was giving up, and he looked upset. He asked, "So you're ignoring my injury just because you're scared of being misunderstood?" "Wasn't it you who said that they might misunderstand?" "I was just reminding you." Speechless, Yuna felt that Yvan was being troublesome for no reason. She removed her blanket and got out of the bed. She said, "I'll ask and get it from the counter. Don't worry. I won't let them misunderstand." After that, she left. Yvan chuckled helplessly. Leaning on the headboard, he said
Yvan quickly noticed that the man and woman behind them were acting strange. He frowned and was visibly upset.This was the first time he hiked with Yuna to watch the sunrise. He didn't want his plan to be ruined. Suddenly, Yvan held Yuna's hand. He made sure that she was super close to him and walked at the same pace. Before Yuna could say anything, he spoke with a deep voice, "The trail ahead is steeper. I'll walk holding your hand." "But—" "Watch your steps. Don't fall." Yuna felt his grip on her hand was strong. It was as if he wouldn't let her go. Seeing the crowd around them, she couldn't do anything that might raise their suspicion. She pushed down her emotions and let him lead her to the way up. Their action didn't make the man and woman behind them feel weird. Instead, their eyes lit up at what they saw. They kept following at a steady pace. After half an hour, they finally reached the peak. Yuna was so exhausted that she began panting. Resting an arm on h
Yuna frowned a little. She could tell the woman kept trying to seduce Yvan as she talked. Even her tone seemed off. Before she could reply, she felt a pinch from Yvan's hand holding her waist. Yuna shivered at his touch, as if she caught Yvan's hint. "Sorry, we can't do that. We brought just enough water for the two of us. You should ask someone else." Yvan smirked without a word and left with Yuna. Remaining at the spot, the woman was so pissed that she stomped her feet. The other man then came out from behind. He joked, "I told you, it won't work. But you just had to do it." The woman gritted her teeth. "She seemed familiar, though." Hugging her waist, the man whispered, "We can't do that here. Let's wait till we head down the mountain and arrive at the hotel." …Yuna and Yvan were standing at the spot with the best view. Throwing a glance at their back, Yuna didn't see that woman anymore. She shrugged off Yvan's arm around her waist. Yvan stared at her. Lowering
