When she reached the research center, Cedric gave her some breakfast. "Thanks, Cedric." "Have your friends arrived?" "Yeah, we talked for a long time last night. They just fell asleep." Yuna munched on the bread. Then, she asked, "I'll be cooking tonight. Do you want to come over?" "I was going to have dinner with Carl tonight. I'll ask him." "Just tell Carl to join us too," Yuna said casually. "He'll probably be happy to join then." Since many people would be having dinner at her place, Yuna called Aunty Reina in advance. He informed her that she'd shop for groceries by herself in the afternoon. When she was out of the research center, she didn't expect Carl to be waiting at the entrance for her. "Carl?" "Get in the car." "I'm not going anywhere. I'm just planning to get some groceries at the supermarket." "Okay, I'll go with you. Get in," Carl told her again. Yuna was curious how he found out about this, but she still entered the car. As the car began to
Just as he put his phone down, Michael came in. "Mr. Jenkins, I got the news that Darren just came back from Phoenix City." Yvan frowned. He asked, "Why did he go to Phoenix City?" "I sent some men to investigate it. He didn't even stay there for an hour before he got on the plane and came back. "We still don't know why exactly he went there. But the look on his face was strange when he got off the plane. I think Darren definitely went there to see Ms. Feron." Narrowing his eyes, Yvan didn't think Darren would visit Phoenix City just to see Yuna. "Look into everything that happened. I want to know everything in detail." "Yes, sir." …After getting the groceries, Yuna and Carl headed straight home. Cedric arrived at her place earlier. Since Sherry and Harry knew him, it wasn't awkward for anybody. They chatted with each other like friends would. But Carl was someone they were unfamiliar with. Sherry secretly investigated his background. She was astounded when she
After dinner, Carl and Cedric left. Sherry and the others were still playing with the kids. Yuna helped Aunty Reina to clean things up in the kitchen. Although the rooms were arranged for them already, Sherry insisted on sleeping with Yuna that night. And so, they returned to her room after putting the kids to sleep. Yuna then continued to chat with her bestie. As for Harry and Spencer, they got close in just a short time. They were playing games on the computer together. Yuna and Sherry had a shower after one another. Then, they lay on the bed. Sherry said, "When we're having dinner, Harry and I saw everything very clearly. Why do I feel that things between you and Carl don't feel like how it is between friends?" Yuna chuckled helplessly as she looked at Sherry. "Is it because I gave some food to Carl? You saw that I did the same to Spencer too." "But the way Carl looked at you was different from how it was to others." Seeing how persistent she was, Yuna could only g
Ashton's expression darkened. But Darren wasn't about to give up. He even said, "If they're not together, why isn't Yvan chasing her all the way to Phoenix City? He's afraid of Carl too. "No matter what, the Edwards family is one of the most powerful families in Waleston. Even if Yvan went there, he would only be kicked out. Do you think you could win a fight against Carl?" Darren asked. Then, he added, "Ashton, you should just give up. If Yuna really planned to come back here, she wouldn't have gone there in the first place. Why did Yvan fail to remarry her? Because she had someone more powerful backing her." "Enough!" Ashton didn't want to hear him say anything more, especially when it was about something he didn't like. Seeing how defensive he was, Darren seemed disappointed. "Forget it. I won't care about your personal matters anymore. Do whatever you want." Then, he got up and left. Ashton didn't say a word. He sat there in silence. Nobody knew what was going on in h
After saying that, Gabriel went into his car and left. Darren crawled back up from the ground. He watched as the car left. He was so angry that he kicked the car tire. Touching his lips, he felt that his fingers were covered in blood. Darren gritted his teeth. He had no choice but to drive away. …After reaching Lucian's private hospital, Gabriel immediately went to Lucian's office. Seeing how suspicious he seemed, Lucian could tell that Gabriel must have done something he shouldn't. "Tell me. Where did you go?" "I went back to deal with the club's matter." "Did you know your eyes dart around when you're lying?" Lucian read the documents in his hands. "Don't lie to me. Tell me the truth." Gabriel drank some water. Then, he said calmly, "I went to get back at Darren." Lucian glanced at him. "You beat Darren up?" Confused, Gabriel asked, "Lucian, I don't get it. We could totally crush the Yales and the Bowmans. Why are we not doing anything? Yvan isn't going to attac
Kiara was about to sip her tea and was distracted. The hot tea burned her lips. Shocked, she stared at him. "You're traveling somewhere? At this time? Don't you know that Dad and Mom are back?" "The matter isn't solved yet." "Can't it wait till after the New Year?" "I can only talk to Dad after I handle the issue." Hearing that, Kiara then realized something. She said, "Are you looking into the car crash that happened seven years ago?" "Yeah." "Who was it?" "I'll come back and tell you when I'm done." Kiara still felt that something was off. "Are you sure it's safe for you to investigate it?" "I know best whether or not it'd be safe. I'll come back after I settle everything." He'd bring Yuna and the kids back too. At least, that was Yvan's wishful thinking. Kiara frowned. "We can't tell Grandpa and the rest about this. If not, they'll surely be worried. "Tell them I'm going to Phoenix City to see Yuna and the others then. That way, they'd be happy. Kiara rol
Sherry made fun of him. "Spencer, you've asked the wrong person. Harry doesn't think of shopping at all. The only fun thing he'd do is play games." Drinking some water, Harry said, "Playing games is a way to release stress too. Don't you agree, Spencer?" Spencer raised an eyebrow. "That's right. We should continue our game at night." "Of course." The two shook each other's hands. They seemed closer than ever. Sherry and Yuna exchanged a look as they smiled brightly. Meanwhile, Natalie and Nathaniel ignored the adult's conversation and silently ate their fruit. Right then, a waiter came over with two plates of desserts. Seeing that, Yuna said, "We didn't order these." The waiter said, "Someone ordered these for you. He also ordered more dishes for you as part of your main courses." "He? Who is that?" Spencer was sharp enough to ask. The waiter pointed in a direction and said, "That person." Yuna and the rest looked over. It was only natural that Sherry and Harry didn
Yuna told Gianna to bring Sherry and the others back home. Meanwhile, she sat in another car, waiting for Spencer to come out. When she saw him exiting alone, Yuna breathed a sigh of relief. Spencer opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. Then, Yuna started the car and drove off. "Did he do anything to you?" "Although Luther isn't a good man, he's still more rational than the others in the Wycliffe family. He wouldn't do anything in a public place." "Did he say anything then?" Yuna asked. "Not really. He just wanted to apologize for bothering you and making a scene at your place," Spencer said.Then, he snorted. "Who would believe him? Maybe he just wanted to use the chance to get closer to you for whatever reason." Yuna frowned a little. She became deep in thought. "Surra, stay away from them. Their family is full of madmen." Spencer was upset by all the things the Wycliffes had done recently. He even thought he should've come over quicker so that such a thin
