Arthur's expression darkened after hearing what Diana said. He ignored her and waved to Yuna. "I'm hungry, Yuna. Let me see what you've made."Yuna walked up to Arthur, and Benson helped her set up the food while Diana's face contorted in anger.Standing on the right side of the hospital bed, Yuna acknowledged Diana with a slight nod. "Mrs. Jenkins, rest assured that I've personally taken care of everything. I purchased the groceries, prepared the food myself, and the food never left my hands throughout the journey here. There won't be issues with it."When Yuna finished speaking, Daisy added, "Aunt Diana, Yuna won't be that careless. If there were any issues with the food, she would be the first one held accountable. She's far too sensible to make such a mistake."Only upon hearing Daisy's words did Diana's expression finally relax.Arthur picked up his spoon and told Diana, "You don't need to be here. Why don't you go back and take care of Samuel?"Diana wasn't planning on leav
Yuna's composure remained steady despite feeling a twinge of alarm. "Grandpa Jenkins, we're just not made for each other, but that won't stop me from visiting you. Come, why don't you try this?"Although Arthur wanted to press on, he knew he shouldn't rush these things. So he complied and took a bite of her food. After she left, he frowned and mumbled, "Her expression never changed, even when I brought it up. Did we get it wrong?"He then looked up at Benson and asked, "Didn't you have a lead? Why isn't there any news yet?"Benson was frowning too. "We did have a lead, but we lost it. I'm not sure what happened, either. The little girl has gone back. I wonder if she was just brought here to Jefton by her mother for a hospital visit.""She left?" Arthur's hopes were crushed. Benson knew Arthur was feeling down, so he consoled him, saying, "Don't worry, Old Mr. Jenkins. Young Mr. Jenkins and Miss Yuna are still young. They still have plenty of time to have children in the future. I
Natalie nodded obediently, recognizing that Mommy's affairs took precedence, even though she longed to see Great-Grandpa."Nathaniel, can they trace it back to us here?"Nathaniel raised his brows. "Are you looking down on me? His hackers aren't even that skilled."Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Nathaniel immediately closed the webpage, and Natalie opened the door only after they were ready.When she saw Yuna at the door, she lit up. "Mommy, you're back.""What are you two hiding in here for?" She eyed the both of them suspiciously.Natalie quickly thought of an excuse. "We were discussing ways to convince you to buy me a pet. If you don't allow it, I will ask Aunt Sherry to buy me one."Nathaniel went along with her. "I told her Aunt Sherry would be terrified. After all, even Uncle Spencer was afraid when he saw them."Yuna was speechless. She knew her two children had vastly different interests. One was into computers, while the other liked to keep pets, and it wasn
Yuna was about to leave after sending them off when she suddenly heard someone calling her name. "Yuna?"She wondered who was the one who had called out to her. She looked over curiously, only to find that person already running towards her.“Yuna! Yuna! It really is you!” Before Yuna could fully comprehend the situation, that individual embraced her tightly, catching her by surprise."Yuna, you really are alive. Do you know I flew back here from Frosthaven once I heard you are still alive?""Sis?" The woman pinched her cheeks lovingly. "Look at that. You're still calling me sis. Do you know how many tears I shed for you seven years ago? Whenever I saw that brat, I felt like beating him up. I was so frustrated I left for Frosthaven in the end."It was Kiara Jenkins. She was Yvan's sister and the second person in the Jenkins family who had her back. Upon hearing her voice, Yuna felt an indescribable feeling. "I'm sorry for making you so worried, Kiara."Kiara waved her han
Kiara and Yuna were chatting happily when Kiara's attention was drawn to an incoming call. As her eyes caught sight of the caller ID, a disapproving expression washed over her face.Yuna appeared to realize who it was and went silent. She then sipped on her drink calmly."What do you want?" Kiara asked. "Mom said you're back. Where are you? I'll pick you up.""I'm eating.""Where?"Kiara's gaze landed on Yuna, and her mouth curved into a smile. "I'm eating with a friend. You can come if you want."Upon hearing that, Yuna choked on her drink. After a few seconds of silence, Yvan answered, "Where?"Kiara gave him the restaurant's name, and after she hung up, Yuna immediately said, "Kiara, how could you ask him to come?"Kiara waved her hands in dismissal. "Don't think I don't know that the both of you are business partners now. I know that brat's personality best. He must have made things hard for you during this period.""That's not true.""Stop defending him. Just wait. I
Yvan leaned casually against the chair. His features were cold and noble, and his sharp, clear eyes emitted a subtle glow that exuded an air of sophistication. His dark shirt further accentuated his refined temperament.His expression never changed, even when faced with Kiara's question. Instead, he shifted his gaze boldly to Yuna and drawled, "What do you want me to say?"While it seemed he was answering Kiara, his question was directed to Yuna. Yuna pretended not to notice. Kiara smacked his shoulders. "What do you think I want you to say?"Yvan's lips pressed into a thin line as he sucked in a deep breath. "Kiara, we're divorced. Do you think it's appropriate to talk about this here today?""Why is it not?"While he didn't wish to talk back, Yuna intervened and said, "Kiara, today really isn't an appropriate day. After all, Ms. Bailey is Mr. Jenkins' girlfriend. We would be easily misunderstood this way." Yvan raised a brow, thinking that Yuna was obviously having fun. Fi
Yuna eyed him skeptically, as if questioning the reason he was asking about her car.Yvan placed Kiara's arm around his shoulder to steady her. "I don't have a car. Shouldn't you take us home?"Yuna was left speechless. Since Michael had taken his car to drive Daisy home, would she have to drive the siblings home? She would gladly take Kiara home, but not Yvan. It appeared as if Yvan had read her mind. He stared at her with narrowed eyes. "What? You treated Kiara to a meal, but you're not going to send her home now that she's like this?"She cursed internally. She didn't know Kiara had such a low alcohol tolerance, and Yvan would blame it on her. She had miscalculated.In the end, Yuna gave in and collected Kiara's belongings, then walked out of the restaurant by Yvan's side. They did not realize someone had taken the opportunity to secretly snap a picture of them.Yvan helped the tipsy Kiara into the back seat but was soon kicked out by his sister without hesitation. "Drive, br
As soon as she said that, the car braked abruptly. A traffic light turned red up ahead. Yuna looked behind her worriedly and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Kiara still in her seat. The moment she turned back front, Yvan's face was right up against hers. "You’re asking me to give you a chance?"Yuna's heart stopped, but she maintained her composure. She saw Kiara lying still in the corner of her eye and met Yvan's gaze. "Mr. Jenkins, don't forget you have a girlfriend.""Haven't you reminded me of that plenty?" he said dryly."So you do listen to what I say?" she scoffed. "Then why did you never seem to hear me seven years ago."His gaze darkened. "Do you think I’ll look at you differently if you change your methods?""Seeing you so frustrated makes me think my methods have worked splendidly.""Hmph." He continued driving. The mood turned eerily quiet. Yuna relaxed her balled fists, working to calm herself down. It was true that she had to get closer to Yvan, bu
