Yuna loved Nathaniel so much. She was happy that Nathaniel didn't share a similar personality with Yvan. "Yeah, that's why he always tolerates me. He's never impolite toward me." But Nathaniel still seemed upset. He said, "Mommy, you're just trying to defend him, aren't you?" Yuna chuckled. "No, why would I defend him?" "It's clearly his mistake. Only a true gentleman could open a woman's heart." Nathaniel sounded wiser beyond his age. Yuna laughed when she heard that. "Nathaniel Feron, who taught you that?" "I saw it on the internet." "You shouldn't read things like that." "Okay." "Alright, be a good boy and go to sleep." Nathaniel had no choice but to close his eyes and sleep. But in his head, he started plotting something again. He wanted to make that man suffer a bit. Yuna left the room and was about to go to her own room. The moment she turned around, she saw Yvan silently standing there, much to her surprise. She was so taken aback that she covered her
"Natalie's list of her favorite people—" Yuna cut him off, "Those are the people that she likes a lot. Cedric and my other seniors have been by their side ever since they were born. "They helped me take care of the kids. So, in the kids' eyes, my seniors were like their family." She added, "If you hope to leave a good impression on Natalie, don't try to compete with those people. Natalie doesn't like people who are too jealous." That made Yvan look upset. "Yuna, are you talking about me?" "I'm not. I'm just stating the truth. If you want to outdo them to win Natalie's heart, not only would she not like you, she'd even wonder why you're being so mean." Staring at him with a serious expression, Yuna smiled. "You don't want to be the bad guy in Natalie's heart, do you?" Yvan became quiet. "Are you really going to bring them along and visit Cedric and Spencer?" "Yeah, isn't it natural for them to miss Cedric and Spencer? Besides, it wouldn't be too healthy for them to be
Holding the two cards in his hand, Harry didn't know what to say. Sherry joked, "The card I gave you doesn't have as much money as Yuna's, but it's still a lot." Harry was touched. He looked at them with his eyes full of emotions. That sent a shiver down the two's spines. Pointing at him, Sherry said, "Mr. Schuster, don't look at us like that. It's gross!" "I can't put my feelings into words. Can't I just express myself by looking at the two of you like that?" Harry asked. "Just don't. It's so cringy!" Sherry nearly puked. Harry gave her the stink eye. "You're probably pregnant." "I don't even have a boyfriend. How would I get pregnant? You must have a death wish!" Sherry waved her fist at him. Yuna just stood there and watched her friends' playful banter. However, they never noticed someone taking pictures of them when they were leaving. The pictures were sent right into Orianna's phone. Seeing how they were having fun, she was disgusted. She immediately showe
That night, Yuna and Yvan went back home at the same time. They had dinner with the kids. It was so peaceful that Nathaniel almost thought it was real. On the other hand, Natalie was happy because she enjoyed how pleasant it was. After dinner, Nathaniel unwillingly agreed to play a board game with the others because Yuna asked him to. Yvan and Natalie formed a team, while Yuna and Nathaniel teamed up against them. They had so much fun playing as a family. Even Nathaniel, who always put on a poker face in front of Yvan, had a trace of a smile on his face. After finishing one round, they were about to start the second round when Yuna's phone rang. She asked Nathaniel to play along with the other two first without her. Then, she went to the garden and answered the call. "What's up, Harry?" Harry's disappointment was palpable. "The place was sold to someone else." After hearing that, Yuna frowned a little. "Didn't you say you have made a deal and just need to finalize t
Yuna then called Cedric and told him someone had helped her find Orion. She didn't tell Cedric that this person was Yvan. Instead, she claimed that it was Lucian. Yvan let her make the call. But after she ended the call, he asked tensely, "Why didn't you say it was me?" Calmly, Yuna said, "Cedric would come over if he knew that it was you. I don't want to see the two of you fight." "So, did you do that for his sake or mine?" "For my own sake." Yvan laughed helplessly. Not long after, they finally reached the restaurant at the hotel. Because of Yvan's status, nobody tried to stop them. There were even people who led him upstairs without question. Soon, they arrived at the private room where the Stephen family had booked for dinner. When the door was pushed open, their laughter and chatter was cut off. Everyone looked toward Yvan and Yuna, who entered the room. Alberto Stephen, Daphne Stephen, and Orion were confused. Only Orianna had an uneasy expression on her fac
Orianna didn't say a word. With a smile, Yuna said, "Mr. Stephen, you shouldn't blame Ms. Orianna for this. She probably did this to avenge her best friend." Orianna's face instantly paled. She jerked her head up furiously. "This was my idea. It had nothing to do with Daisy!" Yvan's face darkened after hearing that. Even Orion said harshly, "Orianna, did you not remember what I told you last time?" "This is my decision. It has nothing to do with anyone else." Orianna remained stubborn. Coldly, Yvan said, "Since that's what you said, you shall bear the consequences. Don't get help from anyone else." Hearing his words, Alberto quickly said, "Mr. Jenkins, it's my fault. I didn't raise my daughter well enough. "As compensation, I'll gift the place to Ms. Feron for free for the few years Orianna has rented it. I'll bring her home and lecture her properly so she won't cause you any trouble anymore. "Since our families are on good terms and we might collaborate in the future
Because of what Yvan said, Yuna became curious. So she did a simple research on the Stephen family's situation abroad. She actually found some information. Alberto would negotiate businesses through despicable means. When his workers protested, he asked the authorities to catch them and sentence them heavily. It was clear how arrogant the Stephen family was in their home country. When she first met Orianna, she did look up their family briefly. But this information never came up. Now, she found the articles on a foreign online forum. She could tell how well the Stephen family hid their scandals. It seemed that Yvan was right. Sometimes, she really shouldn't judge a book by its cover. So, if that was the case, did the Stephen family have an ulterior motive for moving to the Jefton State? Maybe they couldn't survive abroad any longer, that was why … Laying on the bed, Yuna tried to not think about those things that didn't matter anymore. …The next day, Yuna asked to
Hearing that, Kiara sat up in shock. "You knew? As expected, you guys are close enough for him to tell you anything." Yuna pulled her down to sit. "No, he just wanted to give you a surprise." "For me? Surprise?" Kiara became confused. "Harry thinks he couldn't be with you because he has no status or money." Kiara looked upset when she heard that. "I've never even thought of that." "Kiara, you forgot what I told you at the hospital again." Kiara nodded. "You can continue." "He likes motorcycles a lot, and he always dreamt of starting a motorcycle club. So Sherry and I sponsored him to rent a venue so that he could start the business," Yuna explained. She added, "It's still being furnished now. He told us that he'd surprise you on the day it starts operating." As she expected, Kiara was so stunned that she couldn't say a word. After a long while, she only answered, "He must've needed a lot of money to start a club. Do you guys have enough to spend?" As she spoke, sh
