"I won't pressure you." Ashton smiled softly. He didn't say anything more. Instead, he searched for another topic for them to chat about. He acted as if he was just a friend. Judging from the atmosphere, Yuna knew it'd make things worse for them if she commented more on the issue. She would just outright reject Ashton the next time he tried to do something anyway. If that wouldn't work either, she could tell him that she already had children. After the meal, Yuna took her leave before he did. Ashton watched as her car left. The smile on his face was gone. He seemed gloomy. Not long after, Darren appeared by his side. With just a glance, he smirked and said, "Looks like someone got rejected." Ashton turned away and headed back to the private room. Darren followed suit. He sat across Ashton. "It's not surprising for her to reject your confession. I told you to make a move sooner, but you didn't listen to me." Sipping his tea, Ashton was calm. He joked, "Are you trying
Mina told Yuna the truth. "Ms. Feron, sharing certain information with you at a time like this would only affect you negatively. But I'll tell you one thing. "Our team has found out that Jerry and the attackers who went after you that night are all working together. Their sudden appearance is still a mystery. They're currently being watched and tracked by a lot of people."We're curious as to why these people keep going after you, but it seems like they're being surrounded by different enemies, too. "I believe the truth will come out soon. It's just that we're not in the best situation now. But that doesn't mean we don't have a way out. So don't overthink this, Ms. Feron. We got your back." After hearing what Mina said, Yuna's mood was lifted. "Thank you for reassuring me." "My pleasure." When Mina went out of the room, she noticed that the door to the next room was barely closed. Nathaniel was standing right there. Quietly, she closed the door to Yuna's room before snea
Right then, Yuna saw someone sending a document to Blake's table. Just after the staff placed the document down, Blake slammed that file onto the staff's chest with a sour look and yelled at him. Without saying anything more, the staff just brought the document with him. Soon, he left via the elevator. Yuna shifted her gaze away. She informed Vince to send Blake into her office. Arrogant as ever, Blake glared at Yuna provocatively upon entering her office. "Hello, Ms. Feron," he reluctantly greeted her. Yuna wasn't bothered by it. Instead, she said, "Blake, do you know what your job position is?" "The one with the lowest rank in the company," Blake replied impatiently. "So you know that well. I thought you were working here in my department to be served like a prince." Her words instantly angered Blake. "What do you mean by that?" Furious, he demanded, "I've done so much work. Isn't that enough?" "The one who gave you the document is your team leader. So what are
Ashton said, "Don't you think I'd be able to solve those troubles for you?" Yuna replied, "Mr. Yale, there are things that even you couldn't solve. For example, family matters." Instantly, Ashton glanced at her. Yuna was still smiling. She had unbuckled her seatbelt. "Mr. Yale, please stop the car. I have other things to do and need to leave. I can't head back home or have dinner yet." "I can drive you there." "I have my personal matters to deal with as well, Mr. Yale." Ashton couldn't retort. He could only let her get off at the side of the road. He watched as she got into her own car and left. Ashton stared hard at the car. But soon, he noticed a few black cars appearing and following behind Yuna at a controlled speed. Instantly, his face darkened, and he narrowed his eyes before calling somebody. "Check the plate numbers of those cars." …Of course, Yuna knew that Yvan's men were following her. She told Mina to throw them off by making a turn somewhere. Only the
Hearing that, Yuna smiled a little. "What kind of help are you talking about, Mr. Jenkins?" "That incident only happened two days ago. You have to have more people around to guarantee your safety. Did you think having one female bodyguard would be enough? "My people are carefully selected, and they're extremely skilled. I know what you're worried about. You think I'm watching you. But don't worry, I've told them not to ask anything about day-to-day schedules." Yvan's tone was calm but firm as he said, "I won't ask about whom you meet up with or what you do." Yuna chuckled and said, "Then how did you manage to find me here?" "I happened to be here as well." Coldly, Yuna replied, "What a coincidence then." After that, she turned around to leave, but Yvan blocked her. "Don't refuse my help." He was almost pleading with her, as if telling Yuna not to turn him away. Yuna took a deep breath and remained composed. "Thank you for your kindness. I don't just have one bodyguard
Yuna was on her way back when Darren blocked her car. Darren arrogantly stopped his car right in front of hers, not letting her through. Eyes on the man who was getting out of the car, Gianna said cautiously, "Ms. Feron, should I get rid of him?" When she saw him, Yuna could roughly guess what he was about to do. "Let's wait for now." Soon, Darren reached the back of the car and knocked on the window. Yuna rolled down the window calmly. "I never seem to be able to reach you, Ms. Feron. So I haven't had the chance to invite you for drinks. Would you do that with me today?" Darren smirked devilishly. His arm pressed against the car window as he bent over. Unfazed, Yuna stared at him. "Mr. Bowman, I don't like the way you invite me for drinks." "It's not my first time doing this, though," Darren said indifferently. "Sorry, I'm not free today." "Ms. Feron, don't you think it's rude of you to turn me down?" Darren asked with a pout. Yuna was at a loss for words.Dar
Ashton was silent on the other end of the call. He said icily, "Did you meet up with Yuna again?" "Yeah, just now." "Darren!" "Don't be mad. I just asked her something for your sake. Do you know what she told me?" Darren's lips curled into a smile as he rested an arm on the steering wheel. He then said, "Forget it. Let's meet up and talk about it." After setting a place to meet, Darren made a U-turn and went to see Ashton. …Yuna was back at Lakewood Estate. The kids were playing with Sherry in the garden. To be exact, she was playing with Natalie. Nathaniel was sitting on the chair with a sketchbook in his hand. He was drawing the scene of the two playing around vividly. Seeing that, she praised Nathaniel, "Baby, your drawing looks great! Have you gotten even better at drawing now?" Nathaniel said dismissively, "You're too busy to check on my studies, Mommy. It's natural for you to be shocked." Yuna's smile faded a little. She seemed apologetic when she heard that
Yuna's heart softened. She didn't even know what to say anymore. "I'm not upset anymore. I feel so much better having you and Nat at my back," she said. "That's good. We're only happy when you're happy, Mommy." After being encouraged by her son, Yuna's greatest worry went away. She had always been worried that Yvan would steal her children away from her. But because of that, she realized she had forgotten how strong of a bond she shared with her two kids. No matter how rich and powerful Yvan could be, it didn't mean he'd be able to take the kids away from her. The worst that could happen was being pestered by him. With that realization in mind, Yuna's mood became much better. When it was already late at night, the kids went to bed. Yuna repeated everything Nathaniel told her to Sherry. She was biting her straw as she listened. Once Yuna finished, Sherry's eyes lit up. "Nathaniel is one understanding boy. Instead of being cold and indifferent like Yvan, he's warm and und
