"Didn't you say that you don't want to be in contact with Ashton?""If I don't give him my number, he'll come here to see me."Sherry didn't know what to say for a moment. "Could it be that he actually needs to talk to you about something?""I hope so.""You gave him your number then, didn't you?""If I didn't, he'd linger around the Feron company. That would've affected everyone at work."It might even become something bigger. If rumors of me and Ashton got out over there, wouldn't that be bad?" Yuna said worriedly."Then—"Before Sherry could say anything, the two glanced at the phone on the bed at the same time. It was a number from Aradelle.The number was familiar to Yuna. It was Ashton."I'll leave you be for now.""Yeah."Yuna grabbed the phone and sat on the couch. She answered it.She didn't say a word. It was silent on the other end of the call, too.Sighing, she spoke up first, "Mr. Yale.""Why didn't you tell me when you left?" Ashton sounded calm. She couldn
The next day, Yuna came to see Caleb early in the morning.She brought up the matter which they discussed with each other before. After hearing that, Caleb seemed curious."You don't look well now. Is it because of Ashton?""I was the one who promised to help him with this early on. Ever since I came back here, I hadn't contacted Mr. Yale at all."If I don't start working on the project soon, it would seem as if I have no integrity." She found a suitable excuse.After hearing that, Caleb then realized her concern. He said, "Ashton isn't someone petty. He's always been an understanding person."Why don't I talk to him after this? We'll confirm with him about this by then.""Actually, Mr. Yale has sent me the project folder."As she spoke, Yuna forwarded the document to Caleb. "Caleb, have a look at this so that you'll be able to work together with Mr. Yale on the project."Caleb nodded after reading the document. "Sure. I'll call him up after I'm done reading. I'll update you i
Michael said okay.Yvan continued, "How many important projects is Ashton handling right now?""Three.""Destroy them."He sounded casual, as if he wasn't dealing with anything important. But anyone who knew the situation would understand that the three projects Ashton was working on involved tens of billions of funds.His simple instruction could almost end the Yale Group.That was exactly what Yvan wanted.He didn't want Ashton to pester Yuna anymore.…Natalie, Nathaniel, Sherry, and Harry were sitting in the garden, relaxing. They ate as they chatted away.Sherry was curious about something at that moment. But it wasn't convenient for her to ask anything since there were always guests at Yuna's place these days."Tell me if Uncle Carl has been nice to you two all these years."Natalie and Nathaniel exchanged a glance. They thought about the same thing.They expected their godparents to ask them about this sooner or later.Natalie nodded. "Of course Uncle Carl treats u
Natalie said, "Actually, I wish Uncle Carl would be my new daddy. Nathaniel likes Uncle Carl a lot too."They could tell that Nathaniel had never been so friendly toward Yvan before. However, he acted very differently around Carl.Nathaniel said calmly, "That's what you hope for. But it'll depend on whether Mommy likes him. If Mommy just wants to be friends with Uncle Carl, Uncle Carl can't be our daddy.""That would be a shame then. I hope Mommy will realize how good Uncle Carl is.""We'll wait for that to happen."Sherry and Harry were speechless. They didn't know how to join their conversation at all.If it wasn't for Reina who brought some food over to them in time, they wouldn't know if they'd be able to continue this topic at all.They couldn't imagine what else would come out of the kids' mouths after this.…Yuna focused on her work. For a while, she didn't think about Ashton's matter.When she was discussing data with her colleagues, she didn't notice another colleag
Both Carl and Cedric found his words strange. Even Yuna didn't expect him to say something like that.Yvan explained patiently, "Carl and I certainly can't proceed with our discussion today. Besides, I'm planning to head back home to take a nap. Dropping her off is just along the way."Smiling, Yuna shook her head. "Thank you, Mr. Morgan. I don't need to go back home for now."Carl thought that Stanley must have feelings for Surra.He said, "Since you're tired, it's better for you to head back earlier and get some rest. Cedric, do send Mr. Morgan off."He was clearly asking Yvan to leave.Although Yvan was upset, he couldn't show it."Alright then. If that's the case, I'll leave you guys be. You don't have to send me off. I know the way out."Before he left, he even glanced at Yuna out of the corner of his eyes. He also looked at Carl, who didn't let go of his grip on Yuna's hand.After Stanley left, the three slowly exited the building too.Yuna pulled her hand out of Carl's
Sherry's eyes lit up. "It's okay. I know this man. He's the sponsor of Yuna's new project. He lives in the luxury villa next to our neighborhood."Reina then understood. "Alright then. I just wonder why he'd send over so many medicines for skin injuries out of nowhere."Harry asked, "Could it be that Yuna got hurt?"That seemed to be the best explanation. If not, why would somebody deliver medicine over for no reason?Just to confirm if something like that had happened, Sherry called Yuna up immediately. To her surprise, Yuna did encounter an accident at work.At the same time, Yuna was astounded to hear that Stanley had brought medicine to her place."Did Mr. Morgan not say anything else?""Aunty Reina's the one who talked to him. She said that Mr. Morgan left after delivering the medicine.""Okay, got it."Yuna ended the call. She was confused by Stanley's actions.Why would he bring medicine to her?Right then, Carl placed a teacup in front of her. "What are you thinking
In the end, they decided to visit Edwards Residence.Hearing their decision, Yuna immediately told Carl about it.When Mia was notified, she started her preparations right away even though it was still early.Yuna was lying on the bed when Sherry entered. She closed the door along the way."Is your hand really okay?""I'm fine."Sherry was still concerned. "I didn't know you'd face this kind of danger at your workplace."Yuna shook her head. "I encountered such an accident when I first entered this field of work as well. It's no big deal."There wouldn't be a problem as long as it's dealt with early. Today's accident happened because I was being careless.""Alright then." Sherry caressed her wound. "Did Ashton call you again?"She shook her head. "Not for now. I've asked Caleb to contact him.""Are you sure that he's alright?""Actually, it's my fault as well," Yuna said seriously. "When I was done with West Drew's project, I promised him that I'd take over his project."B
"Darren, please help Ashton out. You're so close with him after all."Tears rolled down Molly's cheeks uncontrollably."Alright, I got it. I'll talk to your brother later. Just go back home.""Can't … can't I go with you while you meet Ashton?""How could you help by going with me?" Darren turned around and headed upstairs. "Go home."Molly pouted. She had no choice but to listen to him and leave.…After an hour, Darren appeared at the Yale Group company.The moment he stepped inside, he could see how tense everyone looked. It was clearly different from usual.Darren scanned the place casually. He headed upstairs right away.When he reached the door of Ashton's office, he saw Ashton swiping all the documents off his table in fury."Get out of here! Don't look for me if you can't provide a good solution!"The executives quickly picked up the documents from the floor before making their escape from his office.Seeing that, Darren frowned. He walked into the room.Ashton wa
