As the car drove away, Yvan looked away from the rearview mirror. He then turned to look at Yuna beside him. "If you keep mingling with Ashton like that, he'll find out about Natalie and Nathaniel sooner or later." "Mr. Yale doesn't hold any bad intentions against me. Is there a problem with him knowing Natalie and Nathaniel's existence?" Yuna answered as she looked at him. She added, "Mr. Jenkins, please don't judge people so easily." Yvan gave in. "That's not what I meant. I just don't want anyone to affect the children's personal lives." "I'd like to know how your mother found out about the kids then." He became quiet. Yuna looked away. "I hope you won't meddle in my affairs. Don't cross the line." Right after that, Yuna answered a call. "You're here. Yeah, okay." Seeing how she was still cold and callous, Yvan felt somewhat upset. "We're heading back to the same area anyway. Why do you have to get out of the car?" "As an adult, you should know what's the right thi
Lucian had a huge grin and gave her puppy-dog eyes. "Ms. Scott, you wound me. I'm clearly being sincere." Sherry felt like throwing up after hearing that. She sized him up in disgust. "In my eyes, doctors should be people who save lives and have a sense of justice. But all I could see in you is cunningness and schemes, surprisingly." Lucian became speechless. He chuckled helplessly. "Ms. Scott, you're going to make me cry." "Okay." Sherry crossed her legs calmly as she got her coffee from the side. "Cry then." Lucian then realized that it wasn't possible to sway her at all. His legs suddenly felt weak. "I still wish to be friends with you. Please give me a chance, Ms. Scott." "Sorry, I don't like making friends." Sherry placed her cup down and raised her brow. She then asked, "Dr. Storm, are you done choosing your pictures yet?" "Not yet. That's because all the pictures you took are amazing. There doesn't seem to be any bad one." Sherry rolled her eyes at his lame p
Hearing that made Lucian's smile grow wider. "It's happening soon, then. It's the end of the month now. There's only another month till then." Sherry grunted in response. "I'll definitely send over an extravagant gift on that day to celebrate." "Well, thank you so much," she replied out of courtesy. It was just a polite exchange of conversation between adults, anyway. She wouldn't care if he'd actually sent a gift. Lucian suddenly said, "Ms. Scott, can you stop the car over there?" Sherry immediately stopped the car. "What's wrong?" "I have to get a cup of coffee." "It's already nighttime. Are you not planning to sleep?" Widening her eyes, Sherry looked at him in shock. Lucian shrugged bitterly. "I don't have a choice. There are still some documents I have to sort. If I can't finish them tonight, tomorrow's meeting will have to be delayed. Then I'll have to work overtime tomorrow night." Sherry didn't know what to say. So the rich ones didn't have it easy either,
After some thinking, Yuna said, "I can only decide after this month is over." Sherry nodded. "It's too early for me to ask you." The two stopped talking about that. Turning their attention to the movie, they ate and talked about the movie plot. …When Yuna reached the company the next day, Vince gave her a black gift box. Seeing that, she asked curiously, "What is this?" "Someone sent this to the security office last night. They said that it's for you." After that, he pulled out a card and gave it to her. Yuna flipped open the card. The words on the card were familiar. "Someone you know." Alarmed, she furrowed her brow. "Open the box, but be careful." Vince nodded as he cautiously opened the box. Inside, there lay two dolls with their limbs separated. It was a boy and a girl. The moment Yuna saw this, her face turned white. "This must be a prank! Who would be so evil?" Vince was agitated. He immediately put the lid back. "Yuna, don't be afraid. I'll find out who wa
The first thing Yuna did when she reached home was to check on the kids. She saw Natalie playing with Aunty Lucy in the garden, while Nathaniel read as he sat under a parasol. She was relieved, but her legs turned weak. Leo was there to catch her in time. "Ms. Surra, don't worry. Maybe it's just a prank. You can rest assured. Our men will be on watch every second. We won't let anything happen." "Okay." Yuna quickly regained her composure before heading into the garden with a smile. Natalie was the first to notice that Yuna was there. She trotted over to her, looking surprised. "Mommy, why are you off work so early today? Are you not working?" "I'm not busy today. Besides, I want to rest, so I took a day off. I can play with you two the whole day today." "Really? That's great!" Natalie clapped. Nathaniel calmly watched Yuna. Without another word, he went back to his book. Yuna kept them company like usual. When she got a call from Gianna, she found an excuse to head up
"Go away." Spencer pretended to kick her away before continuing to sniff them. Sitting on the couch, Yuna smiled widely. After Spencer was satisfied, he started giving the gifts to the kids. Natalie and Nathaniel happily accepted everything from him. After playing with them for a long while, Spencer pulled out a gift for Yuna. "Surra, here's a gift for you too." "For me?" Yuna was surprised. Seeing the bottles of facial products, makeup essentials, and perfume, she couldn't help but complain, "Spencer, don't you think these are too much for me to use?" "I'm the new ambassador for all these products here. Some of these are recommended by my friends, too. They're the latest ones on the market." Spencer placed them on the coffee table one by one. "You can give some of that to Sherry." "She'll probably be super happy." "You can just throw the old ones away. Since it's almost New Year, you should use the new ones," Spencer said. Yuna smiled a little. Spencer would always
Yuna looked tense. Letting out a sigh, she nodded. "Yeah, I've arranged all of them to be by the kids' side. That way, we can ensure the kids' safety." Spencer knew that she was clearly bothered by this matter. He comforted her, "Surra, why don't you tell Cedric about this? Ask him to come back here and bring the kids to Waleston. That's our territory, anyway. We'll be able to guarantee Natalie and Nathaniel's safety." "I thought about that too." "I'll call him now, then." "But I've promised the kids that I'll bring them back there after I'm done with my work here. If I tell them that we have to go back now, they'll definitely overthink it," Yuna said, looking worried. Spencer placed his phone down. "Natalie and Nathaniel are smart. They'll think that something's wrong for sure. Especially Nathaniel." "Besides, Cedric isn't in Waleston now. It'll only worry him if we tell him about it now," Yuna said. "Surra." Spencer stared at her firmly. "Have you thought of how to de
For safety reasons, Yuna asked Mina to stay at the villa. But she told Mina to hide herself. Gianna was the only one following Yuna around. Her actions made Yvan feel suspicious. "All of her bodyguards are at the villa?" When he heard what his bodyguard informed him, confusion appeared on his cold face. "Yeah, it started yesterday. Spencer came by as well. On that same night, his manager hired a few expert bodyguards from a private security company to guard the villa," the bodyguards informed with a nod. Yvan had a feeling that something must have happened. "Go find out what happened there as soon as possible. And update me right away." "Got it." Yvan couldn't focus on his work because of it. When he was about to get up and meet Yuna, someone called him suddenly. He had to leave. …At noon, Yuna went back to the apartment to see Daisy. After being starved twice, Daisy's condition became worse than last time. Coupled with her internal devastation, she looked frail and l
