After a long day at work, Yuna went to visit Kiara at the hospital. But she was driven away by the sight in front of her. Seeing the two were back on good terms, Yuna didn't want to be the third wheel. She decided to head back home and rest. She could feel her body aching from the morning hike. It would certainly be difficult for her to get up the next morning. On her way back home, she stopped to get some ointment. She was hoping that it wouldn't affect her work tomorrow. When she opened the door, she saw Yvan sitting in the living room. He was working on his tablet while holding a cup of coffee with the other hand. It was as if he was the owner of this place. Yuna frowned. She still felt he shouldn't be there even after staying for so long. When Yvan saw Yuna, he put his tablet and coffee down to welcome her. "Have you eaten?" Yuna pursed her lips and nodded. "Yeah." After that, she turned to head to her room. But Yvan noticed that she was walking strangely. Frow
Yvan sensed she was trying to change the topic, but he didn't point it out. "Really? I'll ask Harry or Kiara about it tomorrow," he said. Hearing that, Yuna said, "This is a matter between them. Isn't it bad for you to interfere?" "Do you actually think it's bad to interfere, or are you worried I'd do something to Harry after knowing he treated Kiara badly?" Yvan asked. There was annoyance in Yuna's eyes. But she knew that Yvan had always been protective of Kiara. He would definitely hold someone accountable if he knew Kiara was mistreated. It wasn't wrong of him to think that way. Without another word, Yuna got up and left. Yvan showed no intention of chasing after her. Instead, he called Michael and asked him to find out what happened between Kiara and Harry. After returning to her room, Yuna sat on the bed. She could finally relax. She wanted to video call her children. But it was still Cedric who answered the call. "Natalie and Nathaniel are preparing for their
When Cedric grabbed his phone, Natalie immediately covered her tummy. "Ow, my tummy hurts, Uncle Cedric." That drew Cedric's attention. "Natalie, where exactly does it hurt?" Nathaniel rushed him. "Uncle Cedric, you should call a doctor. Nat hasn't been adjusting to the environment well these days. I didn't tell you because we were okay when we came last time." Cedric frowned. "How could you not tell me if one of you feels sick?" After that, he called Spencer on his phone. He asked Spencer to send over a doctor who'd be tight-lipped about treating Natalie. Because of that, Cedric forgot to call Yuna. Nathaniel seized the opportunity to commence with the plan. The next day, Yvan was upset when he heard the news from Michael. "They called a doctor? Do you know who got sick? Is it Natalie or Nathaniel?" Michale said, "Looks like it's Natalie. They found a doctor who's more tight-lipped about his patients. Even Mr. Spencer left his work behind and went to the market to get
Yuna immediately hung up. She hit the gas and went straight to Birchwood Heights. The journey to Birchwood Heights would normally take half an hour, but she arrived ten minutes earlier. Worrying about Natalie being sick, she dashed into the house to find nobody blocking her way. "Ms. Feron, you're here." Hesta welcomed her happily. "Where are my children?" "Don't worry, they're upstairs. Natalie is unwell, so Dr. Storm is performing a check-up on her." After Hesta finished, Yuna left her coat and bag on the floor and quickly walked upstairs. As expected, she saw Michael and two bodyguards standing in the hallway on the third floor. She stormed into the room. Natalie was lying on the bed with Nathaniel sitting by her side. Lucian was examining Natalie while Yvan was standing on the right side of the bed. The moment she saw the twins, she immediately concealed her anger. She didn't want to have an argument with Yvan in front of them. "Hi, Mommy." Natalie greeted her f
On the other hand, Yuna and Yvan went into the study on the second floor. When the door was closed, Yuna turned around and stood in front of Yvan. Although she looked resolute, her eyes were filled with anger. "Why did you bring them here? They don't even know who you are!" Narrowing his eyes, Yvan exuded a dangerous air as he spoke with an icy tone, "Are you sure they don't know who I am?" Yuna fired, "Of course they don't!" Yvan bent down slightly to meet her eyes. "Natalie called me Daddy the moment she saw me." Hearing that, Yuna held her breath and became tense. At the same time, she was thinking hard. She had never told Natalie and Nathaniel about Yvan, yet they knew Yvan was their father. Because … Peering at Yvan's face, Yuna bit her lip. She couldn't say a word. Because Nathaniel looked too similar to Yvan. Knowing how smart they were, they would've been able to tell. She thought she hid everything well, but she managed to hide nothing at all. "You ask a
A look of bitterness swept across Yvan's face. Yuna's words had enraged him. "Do you think you can deny my relationship with them so easily? If you want to bring them away somewhere I can't find, do you think you can hide forever?" As he spoke, he pulled her into his arms. "I'm their father. Under the law, I'm their guardian as well." "They only need me as their guardian!" "Don't try to fight me, Yuna. You're in Jefton State now." Yvan said calmly. But to Yuna, it was a lethal warning. Because of that, she had to send the kids abroad so desperately the last time. They would only be safe out of this country. Yvan wouldn't have the chance to get near them. But it was different now. Yuna glared at him with resentment. "Are you going to fight me?" Yvan remained composed. "You and the children will stay here." "Impossible!" "Okay, you can take them away today. I'll release the news tomorrow, then. I'll make it clear that they're mine. What do you think will happen th
Yuna ruffled her hair. Nathaniel could tell she wasn't happy after talking with that man. So, he asked, "Mommy, did he make you angry?" Hearing his tone, Yuna was certain the twins knew who Yvan was. "No." Yuna sat on the bed cross-legged. She put on a firm expression as she spoke to her children. "Natalie, Nathaniel, Mommy have something to tell you two." "Are you going to tell us that Daddy isn't dead yet, and that man is our daddy?" Nathaniel asked, not wanting Yuna to worry about how to reveal the truth to them."Mommy, you don't have to explain it to us. Nat and I knew already." That was what Yuna wanted to say. But she decided to skip it for now. "Mommy just wants to tell you things are different this time. For safety reasons, we'd have to live with your daddy temporarily. "He knows how to keep you both protected and make sure no one finds out who you are. Mommy will also be able to work without any worries. "But, the decision is in my hands. If you don't want
Yvan frowned a little. Although he didn't answer Lucian, he knew that too well. Half an hour later, he brought Yuna and the children to Lakewood Estates. Even though he didn't have much time, Yvan still made sure to set up a play corner and a room for the twins. The house was originally decorated in a formal, rigid style. The toys being displayed around the house created a stark contrast with the atmosphere there. But Yuna could tell that Yvan put his heart into decorating the house. He wanted to win the children's hearts. Instead of feeling happy, Yuna felt anxious. She was afraid that Yvan would try to use tactics like this to take her twins from her.Looking away, Yuna didn't bother to look at the children's space anymore. But Yvan asked the twins, "Do you like it? If you don't, Daddy will switch out everything." Natalie obviously liked it, but she had to hide her joy because Nathaniel told her to. Nathaniel acted like an adult and said coolly, "We'll like it as long
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
