Natalie nodded happily. Then, Nathaniel got up and said, "Let's go, Nat. We'll see if Uncle Spencer's toys are still here." "Oh yeah, let's go look for them." Familiar with all the rooms in the house, Nathaniel led Natalie to the innermost room. When the twins were gone, Cedric's smile disappeared as well. With a serious expression, he stared at Yuna. "Something's on your mind, Surra." "Is there?" Yuna averted her gaze. She said, "I think that there's too much on my plate, that's all. I thought I'd be able to complete everything as I planned, but I realized I couldn't even settle one thing." "It's not your fault. That's because there's a lot of uncertainty now, so it's trapping you here," Cedric reassured her. "Are you facing some troubles?" Yuna shook her head. "No, I just want to deal with the current problem as soon as possible." "About Jerry, I've been trying to contact my men in Barocia. But it's as if Barocia is Jerry's home. He's been able to sneak around,
As Kiara drove, Yuna watched how serious she looked. She couldn't help but feel anxious as well. "Kiara, stop scaring me. Tell me what's going on." "Daisy tried to kill herself," Kiara blurted out loud. "She cut herself, and she was bleeding heavily. When they found her, she lost almost half of her blood. If Lucian didn't find her in time and rescued her, she might've died."She was determined this time. She escaped from the house and hid in a hotel to end her life." The news sent a shiver down Yuna's spine. "How is she now?" "They saved her, but she's still in a coma." "Where are you bringing me to then?" "Somewhere where my mom couldn't find you." "Natalie and Nathaniel—" "Don't worry. If my Mom knows you're with me all this while, she won't go to Lakewood Estate. Natalie and Nathaniel are safe. If not, I wouldn't have called you so many times." "How did you find out, Kiara?" Yuna asked with a frown. "Lucian called me and told me about the situation." "Then
Yuna seemed calm and composed throughout the night, as if her mood wasn't affected at all. The other three keep silent. They just accompanied her by drinking and chatting with her till dawn. …Seeing how the three were still sleeping, Yuna had cleaned herself up. She wore Sherry's clothes and called Vince, asking him to fetch her. When she got into the car, Vince gave her the breakfast that he prepared earlier. "Yuna, you didn't seem to get enough rest." "I drank all night with my friends." Yuna sipped her tea. Her stomach felt much better now. "Do you know what happened last night?" "You heard about Daisy trying to end her life as well?" Vince seemed calm when he heard that. "I was thinking that you'd know about this too." "It has nothing to do with us, so we shouldn't concern ourselves about this." "Yeah." …When it was almost noon, Yuna received a call from Ashton. He wanted to return the car to her. So, she headed out. She didn't expect Ashton would be buy
The three of them headed to the go-karting club. After getting changed, Yuna came out first. To her surprise, Darren stood there as if he were waiting for her. "Ashton went to get us some drinks," Darren said as he smoked. "Okay." "Yvan caused me some trouble yesterday, so I had to leave early." Darren suddenly changed the topic. He lifted his head and stared at her, a smile playing on his lips. "I can tell how much Yvan cares about you." Yuna didn't feel too happy hearing that. "You can be straight with me. You don't have to beat around the bush." After that, Darren stood in front of her, smiling. "I just want to remind you to not be fooled by Yvan." Yuna gave him a confused look. "Forget it. You probably won't believe me even if I tell you this now." Darren threw away the cigarette butt. When he looked at her again, there was nothing but coldness in his eyes. "If it wasn't for Ashton, I wouldn't have told you all this useless stuff." He then turned around an
"What do you mean by that?" "What do you think I meant?" Darren walked up to him. "Didn't you see how mindless she's been today? Yvan has been with Daisy after she cut herself. "Maybe the next thing you'd hear from the news would be them getting back together. This is a great chance for you, Ashton." Ashton became quiet. "Don't blame me for not reminding you then. It's tiring to explain things to you so many times." Darren waved him off and went inside to shower. At the same time, Yuna was done showering and getting changed. When she picked up her phone, she saw a lot of missed calls. Most of them were from Yvan. Frowning, she ignored the notifications and called Kiara instead. "Kiara, were you looking for me?" "That brat told me he couldn't reach you, so he called me to ask about it. Yuna, why did you answer the call so late?" "Oh, I was go-karting with my friends, so I didn't hear the phone ringing," Yuna explained. "Go-karting! Who did you go with? Why didn't
His sudden movement took Yuna by great surprise. She pushed him away with all her might. But Yvan still closed their distance. He even pushed her up against the wall, not letting her escape. He kissed her so hard that Yuna almost couldn't catch her breath. But it was as if he thought this wasn't enough. That this was her punishment.When Yuna sensed his intentions, anger filled her eyes as she bit Yvan's lips hard. "Are you done being crazy?" "No!" Yvan's eyes were dark, and his tone was cold. This still wasn't enough for him, even though his lips were bleeding from her bite. Yuna was about to speak more when Yvan went even crazier. Just when he was about to have total control over her, Yuna pushed him with her knee. She seized the chance and ran toward the living room, putting a clear distance between her and Yvan. "I'll never forgive you if you keep doing this!" Yvan wasn't aware of how hard Yuna pushed him with her knee. Wiping the blood off his lips, his cold fac
Yuna couldn't understand what he said. She sat on the couch weakly. Sherry's reassurance from yesterday was useless now. She knew she still had feelings for Yvan but thought she shouldn't feel this way because of Daisy. Even if she agreed to be with Yvan, there wouldn't be peace between them as long as Daisy was there. Besides, they had kids now. She didn't want the twins to be upset because of the matter between them. With that thought in mind, Yuna felt slightly better. "It's okay, Yuna. This is nothing big. Just follow your original plan." After comforting herself, Yuna managed to regain her composure. …For the next few days, gossip about Yvan and Daisy was on the news. Everyone thought that they'd get back together. But Yuna just focused on her work. As for Diana, she never came to cause any trouble for Yuna. So Yuna returned to Lakewood Estate to keep her kids company the day after the incident. She didn't show any signs of dismay. Natalie and Nathaniel were be
After saying that, Blake went up to her again. He suddenly changed the topic. "To be honest, I came to see you today, not just to criticize you. I just think it's sad to see how hard you've been working." His words shocked Vince and Yuna. But when Yuna met his cunning gaze, she knew he must be up to something. "Really? You surely mean that when pigs fly, then." "Yuna, I hope you don't think I was exaggerating. I was right. No matter what you do, Dad would never appreciate you as his child."Besides, your relationship with Yvan now is awkward. If they get back together, I bet Dad will look down on you again. So what's the use of you working so hard?" Yuna could guess the intention behind his words. She smiled knowingly. "So what do you have in mind to make Dad cherish me again?" "I can't guarantee if it'd make Dad cherish you. But I can assure you that you won't need to work as hard. You'd be able to earn money while finding your own happiness."Perhaps Dad would even be h
