Just when Yuna was about to avert her gaze, she felt that someone had been observing her closely. That feeling was oddly nostalgic to her. She tried to search for the person who gave her that familiar gaze, but it was to no avail. Her gaze finally landed on Stanley, who made eye contact with everyone. His good looks made him look dashingly handsome when he smiled. Yuna thought she might have been overthinking things. "Everyone, meet Mr. Morgan. The reason we gathered here today is to talk about our latest project." Carl was introducing Stanley but got interrupted. Stanley smiled brightly and said, "There's no need for formality. Let's treat it as a friend's gathering. We can chat as we eat." Stanley sounded like a friendly person, and everyone started to warm up to him. And so, the dinner party had officially begun. Everyone was having a good time drinking while discussing work. Cedric and the rest introduced themselves to Stanley. When it was Yuna's turn, she only brie
Meanwhile, Yvan had moved into the apartment he bought at the last minute.Though it was quite a distance from Yuna's villa, at least they were in the same neighborhood. They were likely to encounter each other. This was the best Yvan could do to stay close to Yuna's side. He thought of moving next to Yuna, but that would be too obvious. It might even worsen things. While standing on the balcony, he tried to look at the villa Yuna was staying in. Though it was far away, he couldn't help but imagine Yuna living there with the twins. While he was deep in his fantasy, Terry appeared behind him and handed him a photo. "Mr. Jenkins, we manage to take some photos of Ms. Feron's villa and the twins with her." Upon hearing what Terry had just said, Yvan quickly looked at the photo. Indeed, it was them in the photo. Harry and Sherry were in the photo, too. They must have come to celebrate the New Year's with Yuna. Looking at how happy the twins were, Yvan was filled with envy. Th
Yuna took a cab to the research center the next morning. She had this strange sense of nostalgia when she saw a car pass by. She tried to look at the car plate number, and the number rang a bell to her. It reminded her of Stanley Morgan. Does he live here? With doubts in her head along the journey, Yuna finally reached the center. Who would have thought she would see the car in the parking area again? Soon after she walked in, she saw many of her colleagues running in one direction. And when she was about to stop a colleague to ask, her phone rang. It was Cedric."Cedric," Yuna answered. "Are you here yet?" Cedric asked over the phone. "Well, I arrived just a moment ago," Yuna replied briefly. "Great. Come to the third meeting room after you have changed your clothes. Mr. Morgan is here." Yuna thought about the car she saw this morning. She was almost certain that the car belonged to Mr. Morgan. She didn't expect Stanley to live near her. Speaking of which, there w
Yvan rested his gaze on Yuna. But when she was about to look up at him, he quickly averted his eyes again. He then walked past her and left.Eyes on his back, Yuna almost had a feeling that this man was actually Yvan.Why did they look so alike? But his face didn't look like Yvan's at all.Cedric was standing beside Yuna. Noticing that she was still staring at that man, he asked, "What's wrong?"Yuna shook her head. "It's nothing. I just thought that Stanley seemed familiar."After hearing that, Cedric looked shocked. "I can't believe you feel the same way.""You think so too?""Yeah, but …" Cedric frowned a little.He tried to recall Stanley's face again."From what I remember, this was our first time meeting Stanley. Since he's a foreigner and we've seen many of them, maybe that's why we think they look alike."His theory seemed more reasonable.She nodded. "Probably."…As Yvan sat in the car, he looked outside the window.He stared at Yuna, who was about to enter the
Yvan headed back to his villa. He was tricking Maxus on purpose.To his surprise, Maxus wasn't upset about this at all. He even ordered his men to send over some good stuff to Yvan.Crossing his legs, Yvan sat on the couch. He had a cigarette between his fingers.Darkly, he stared at the things placed before him. He narrowed his eyes. "Is this really Maxus' idea?"Jerry said, "I think it's his assistant, Luther's idea."Hearing that, Yvan looked up.Meanwhile, Jerry continued, "Although Luther is Maxus' nephew, he's extremely capable and intelligent. That's why Maxus made an exception and hired Luther as his main assistant."Maxus acts impulsively. Usually, he would've gotten angry because of how we stood him up. Why would he even think about sending us gifts?""Luther definitely told him something that caused him to take such an action."Yvan squinted. His impression of Luther deepened slightly. "Look into Luther's background.""Okay.""Just get rid of all these things."T
At that moment, Yvan was sitting in the study. He was holding a tablet, watching the surveillance footage of Yuna's house.Although it was not a good angle, he could still see Natalie and Nathaniel playing in the garden. Seeing how bright Natalie's smile was, his lips curled into a smile too.As he watched how Spencer carried Natalie and spun around in circles, Yvan imagined himself carrying Natalie instead.On the other hand, Spencer stuffed two sparklers into Nathaniel's hands. Nathaniel stood there and waved the sparklers around reluctantly.Yvan could almost see Natalie saying something to Nathaniel too.All in all, he could tell that the kids were having a lot of fun.Soon, Yuna brought two plates outside. She placed them on the table underneath the parasol.He had never seen Yuna being so happy before. She grinned even wider when Natalie hugged her waist. Yuna was talking with Spencer, too.The scene created a false impression in his head.For a second, he frowned and st
Carl was a fast learner. He started to mix the dough with ease.Surprised, Sherry said, "I didn't expect you to know how to bake cookies, Mr. Edwards."Carl smiled. He replied, "I'm always here with Surra for New Year's celebration every year. I didn't know how to do it at first. But I found it fun, so I asked Surra to teach me."Right then, Reina smiled and said, "Ever since Mr. Edwards learned how to bake cookies, he'd come over and help Ms. Surra bake cookies for every New Year."Sherry and Harry exchanged a look. Sherry praised, "You knead the dough really well, Mr. Edwards.""Thank you for the compliment."After that, Carl noticed that the cookies Yuna was making seemed different from what he had learned. Curious, he asked, "Surra, what flavor of cookies is this?""This is for making shortbread cookies. The flavor would be oatmeal raisin."Yuna suddenly remembered something. "You've never tried this kind of cookie before. I'll bake a few more just for you to try first late
Night had fallen. Everyone in Yuna's house was having their New Year's Eve dinner.There was practically every kind of food they liked on the table, from salad to cookies. There were stir-fries and roast lamb as well.Everyone sat around the dining table and enjoyed the feast.They raised their glasses for a toast and wished each other a happy new year.Watching this scene, Sherry was touched."I didn't think that I'd be able to have New Year's Eve dinner with Yuna again. And we even have the kids with us here now. I feel so touched thinking about this."Harry merrily took a sip of his wine. He added, "We'll just come over to celebrate New Year's together in the future then."Yuna nodded. "Yeah, just come every year."Natalie was sitting on the other side and munching on some cookies. She pleaded, "Please come every year, Aunty Sherry and Uncle Harry."Everyone burst out laughing.The dinner lasted for more than an hour. Everyone enjoyed the food happily.Spencer couldn't wa
