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
Yuna nodded. Unbothered, she said, "Yeah, I think we should head back too. I have to work." Yvan didn't explain why they had to rush back to the city. He merely nodded. The two then got ready to leave the place. The man and woman came out. They watched regretfully as the car left. The woman was upset as she said, "What a shame. They left so quickly." Staring hard at the car plate number, the man searched for it on his phone. He exclaimed, "Do you know who that car belongs to?" "Who?" "Yvan Jenkins!" The woman was dumbstruck when she heard his name. As she recalled the woman's face, she was soon in shock again. "I know who that woman is now." "Who?" The man asked curiously. "That's Yvan's ex-wife." "That was them?" It was as if he just discovered something big. "Did they get back together after the divorce? They even came here for a secret date." The two exchanged glances and thought of an idea. …After reaching the city, Yuna asked Yvan to let her off at the si
When Yuna came out of the room, Sherry said anxiously, "Yuna, I just took Kiara's temperature. It's almost reaching 100 degrees." Upon hearing that, Yuna became tense. "Seems like the medicine isn't working." She quickly called Vince. Knowing he was just downstairs, she asked him to come up. He came and carried Kiara on his back before driving them to the hospital. Yuna and Vince were with Kiara the whole time, while Sherry immediately went to find Harry. Shortly after Kiara received an injection for her fever, her condition became stable. Vince said, "Yuna, you haven't had breakfast, right? Do you want me to get anything for the two of you?" "Sure. Something light." After Vince left, Yuna looked at Kiara lying on the bed. She said with a smile, "There's no one here anymore, Kiara. You can open your eyes now." As expected, Kiara opened her eyes and looked at Yuna pitifully. "Why didn't you open the door when I came to see you last night?" "I wasn't home. I'm sorry,
When Kiara saw Harry, she still felt uneasy. Turning her head away, Kiara didn't say a word. Sherry and Yuna exchanged a look. Meanwhile, Harry stared at Kiara lying on the hospital bed. The sight of her pale and tired face stung him. "Kiara is okay now, so don't worry. Sherry, you should stay and take care of her," Yuna said. Then, she whispered, "Harry, follow me." Harry looked away and followed Yuna outside. When they were outside, Yuna checked that no one was around them before saying, "Kiara told me everything. She didn't mean any harm. She just wanted to show off her boyfriend to her friends." Without letting Harry reply, Yuna continued, "I know what you're thinking. You're afraid Kiara's friends would have negative assumptions about you." Harry didn't say a word, but his eyes were filled with guilt. "I just wanted to make more money first." "Do you think you're not earning enough yet? Although it can't be compared with the Jenkins family's fortune, you're doing
