Jayden looked at her with an evil and arrogant look, making Silvia feel like she was a prey that was being targeted by a predator and was to be eaten up in the next second. Silvia snatched over the quilt and wrapped it around her body. She glared at him and said, "I said not to look, but you're still looking. If you dare to look again, I'll beat you up!" Jayden raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "So you can look at my naked body but I can't look at yours?" Jayden was amused by her savagery. Silvia argued, "Who said that I'm looking at you?" Jayden said, "If you're not looking at me, how would you know that I'm looking at you then?" Since she couldn't reason against him, Silvia could only use her best skill, which was being unreasonable. Therefore, she said, "I can look at you, but you're not allowed to look at me anymore." Her face turned red and it looked so adorable that Jayden wanted to 'eat' her again. "I'm only looking at my wif
In the dining room on the first floor. Auntie Cherry, who was setting up the table for breakfast, looked up as soon as she heard footsteps approaching. She was surprised at what she saw. The two people who were quarreling with each other the night before were walking over to the dining room hand in hand. To put it more accurately, it was not that they were holding hands, but Silvia was clutching onto Jayden's arm as if her entire body was latched onto him. Not only did Jayden not push her away, but he also allowed her to scamper around him. "Young Master Kyle, let me tell you, I'm still in my puberty. If I don't eat enough nutritious food, I might not be able to grow any taller anymore. If I don't grow taller, it would probably affect you a lot, right?" He was superficially her husband after all, so if she was to become ugly and skinny and even short, wouldn't he be embarrassed? "Puberty? How old are you already?" Jayden glanced at her. Seeing that she had
Forget it! Silvia didn't want to fight with this b*stard. If he could eat such food, then why couldn't she? Silvia picked up the bowl of oatmeal, grabbed a spoon, and began to gulp it down. After finishing the entire bowl of oatmeal in one breath, she actually thought of going for another bowl because it tasted much better than she had imagined. As she was taking huge mouthfuls, Jayden on the other hand, was taking his time as he enjoyed his breakfast. His calm and graceful composure made him absolutely pleasurable to look at. However, the more graceful he was, the more uncultured Silvia seemed. Silvia glared at him distastefully. Jayden smiled and did not say anything. "I'm done." Other than the oatmeal, she had also finished a whole plate of salad and two hard-boiled eggs. "Mm." He nodded. "I'm going to school now. By the way, I have to go to the hospital to see my mother in the afternoon, so I don't need a driver today, I can just tak
Jayden said coldly, "There will be no one else in my life. I only want you." Silvia was a little mad. "Why me? Was it because you have spent so much money on me? Or do you think it's fun to bully me?" She was not him. She could not read his mind. She only knew that if she had a choice, she would never marry a man who she did not love. Of course, that would only happen if she had the power to make her own choices. Ever since the beginning, she had never had a say about her marriage with Jayden, otherwise, they would not have ended up like this. Jayden said, "I want you, do I need any reasons for that?" Silvia was speechless. Forget it, she didn't want to argue with him anymore. It would only be a waste of time if she continued to persuade him. Since she couldn't change anything for the time being, then she had no choice but to accept it. This way, her life would be much better. ...... Because of the unhappy conversation which happene
Looking at Jayden's somber face, Silvia felt uneasy in an instant. She was guessing that he must think it was humiliating that she had gotten into a fight. Well, she would let him see who she truly was then. She would let him know that she was a bad student who was incorrigible. Perhaps, this way, he would not want to keep her by his side anymore. Silvia saw Jayden getting off the car and needless to say, when the people around her saw Jayden, the chaos immediately stopped and their eyes were all on him. He was wearing a blue formal suit, with a white shirt underneath. He was tall and well-built, and as he stood there, he looked exactly like an ancient Greek God. Silvia knew that Jayden's arrival would definitely cause a stir among the crowd, but she did not expect that the reality was even more incredible than she had imagined. Even the pretty girl Alina, who had always thought highly of herself, was also in a trance as she stared at him. Silv
Jayden warned, "Your business has nothing to do with me? Silvia Turner, try and say that again!" Silvia's voice became softer as she spoke. "They're trying to find fault with me, and it's not something you can help me with. I don't want to trouble you." Jayden's face was still as dark as before and his voice was cold as he spoke, "Why would you think that this is going to trouble me? What if I just like to clean up after your mess?" Silvia pursed her lips. She did not believe that he would be so kind, so she said, "Unless you have too much spare time to do so." Jayden was stunned and he replied, "That's right. I have too much time!" Silvia was extremely surprised. Sure enough, this man was different from any other ordinary person. She could never predict what was on his mind. She could have just asked him for help, but she did not. This was the very reason why Jayden was so mad. If he was to make himself look at her face again, he might really strang
The Principal smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. Silvia is a well-rounded student, and I also believe that she will never want to cause trouble. Even if she was the one who caused trouble, it must be because the other students have done something bad in the first place." Silvia could not hear what the headmaster was saying at all. Her mind was full of what Jayden had just said. "My dear Silvia." My dear Silvia?! Such simple words... but they inadvertently tugged at Silvia's heartstrings. In the past, when her father was still alive, no matter how busy he was or how late he arrived home, he would always go to Silvia's room. He would check if she was asleep or if she had kicked the quilt off the bed. Her father would sit on Silvia's bedside and caress her head, "My dear Silvia has grown a lot. You will soon grow up and become a lovely young lady." She would then hug her father and say, "I don't want to grow up, I want to be your little sweetheart for
Jayden narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Donald, I believe that you will give us a fair and just decision." The Principal hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Kyle. We will deal with this matter fairly." Although the Principal said that it would be a fair judgment, everyone present knew that the Principal was on Silvia's side. Even if the others were dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do at all. Moreover, they were the ones who had started the fight after all. What Silvia had done was deemed as 'self-defense'. Jayden grabbed Silvia's hand and said, "Let's not talk about this today. Let's talk about my dear Silvia's grades first." Upon hearing that Jayden did not want to talk about that matter, the Principal quickly waved his hand and said, "Alina and the other students, please go over to my office and wait for me." Alina was very reluctant as she tried to find a glimmer of hope, "Mr. Donald, I..." The Principal waved his hand impatient
...... Eight months later. Adrienne had given birth to a daughter, gathering the entire Yard family in Chatterton Town. Everyone was in high spirits but Jefferson had a sour expression on, as if that was the worst day of his life. Sierra found a moment and went over to Jefferson. "Hey, Jeff. Adrienne just gave birth but why do you have such a long face on? Did you want a son instead or something?" Jefferson responded rudely, "It doesn't matter to me whether it's a boy or a girl. That little girl is our daughter, and I'll love her no matter what." Sierra continued, "Why do you look so upset then?" "Must I have a reason for that?" Well, he was angry at himself. Adrienne had almost lost her life in the labor room earlier, but he hadn't been able to offer any help. Throughout Adrienne's pregnancy, Jefferson had done an enormous amount of research and found out that a C-section birth was relatively safer. Hence, he'd insisted that Adrienne und
...... Johan was still clamming up. Maxtor was so anxious that he couldn't stand still. "Johan, what happened between you and Sierra? Can't you at least explain the situation to me?" After a long silence, Johan looked up and out of the window. "There have been so many fights and misunderstandings between us in the past years and it seems that the past was a time that we can never go back to." Upon hearing this, Maxtor seemed to have put his finger on the crux of the problem. "Did Miranda make Sierra misunderstand you?" Maxtor said earnestly, "Johan, I've told you before that woman has a twisted psyche and you need to stay away from her. You pitied her for being an orphan, but look at what she has been up to." "It has nothing to do with Miranda. It's me. If I..." If he had explained everything to Sierra back then, she wouldn't have felt that insecure about their relationship. He knew everything, but he still got mad at her. Maxtor continued, "He
...... On the first day of school, Miranda was once again met with an unpredicted truth. She found out that Sierra was the top scorer in the entrance exam. She was the overachiever that every university was dying to recruit. Not only did Sierra come from a good family, but she was smart and beautiful to boot. Sierra possessed everything she could have in life. Miranda couldn't figure out why she had to take Johan away from her when she already had so much. What made Miranda even more disappointed was not her inferiority but Johan. On the first day of school, she was over the moon to see that Johan was at the gate to receive her. However, when Johan took her luggage from her and she was wallowing in her excitement to see him, He said to her, "Miranda, that is the girl I like, Sierra. She will be your sister-in-law in the future. You should get on well with her." She didn't want to be nice to her. Instead, she hated her. Mirand
...... Johan's words frightened Miranda so much that her face turned pale. "Johan, Mrs. Silas adopted me. I would have died a long time ago if it weren't for her. How could I have nothing to do with the Silas family?" Johan's face was somber, and his voice chilled Miranda to her bones. "You know that my mother was the one who took you in, but look at what you've been up to all these years?" "Johan, what-what did I do?" Miranda said, trembling with fear. Miranda was an expert at feigning a pitiful appearance and reaping sympathy from others. She even managed to tear up and gazed heart-wrenchingly at Johan at that very moment. However, Johan did not buy into her ploy at all. Not only did his eyes demonstrate her no pity, there was also a trace of disdain that Miranda had never seen before. He loathed her. Upon realizing that, Miranda's heart was broken. Johan had been her dream for those past years. She had worked so hard to do so many things in
...... Sierra wasn't able to refute because what Miranda said was the truth. It was indeed true that many could never compare with her background. However, although she was born privileged, that didn't spare her from putting in effort for her own future. Prestigious universities wanted her because she was the top scorer in the entrance exam but not because of her family background and connections. All of a sudden, Miranda smirked sinisterly. "I know you like Johan, and you want to be with him. Sierra, I like him too, and I want to be with him. You have everything so why do you still want to take my man away from me?" "Excuse me? Who took your man?" Displeased, Sierra said, "Miranda, you were the one who told me that you two were siblings, and that there was nothing going on between you guys. And mind you, you were also the one who encouraged me to go after him." Miranda shouted in a low voice, "Sierra, if I hadn't told you that, would you have remained fri
...... Averting her gaze, Sierra turned around with difficulty. However, just as she had taken a step forward, Miranda's voice sounded from behind. "Sierra, I didn't expect you to come to the airport to pick me up. Imagine my delight to be able to see you on the first day of my return." "You've misunderstood, Miss Attwood. I'm not here to pick you up." Sierra did not conceal her hatred for Miranda as she could not even be bothered to dole out the niceties at her. Miranda chuckled. "I haven't seen you for so many years, but you're still so adorable." It seemed that Miranda couldn't sense the despise Sierra had for her. She approached Sierra with a smile and wanted to give her a hug. Sierra stared at Miranda's outstretched arms and quickly dodged her. A single glance at Miranda and her eyes would be sullied. Sierra thought that she would even throw up should her body come into contact with Miranda's. Miranda was never good at reading between the
...... Stopping her car, Sierra quickly got off to check the situation. No sooner had her feet been on the ground that four men got off from the car in front of her and surrounded her. One of them pointed at her and barked, "Don't you f*cking know how to drive? If you don't, then don't drive. Say it, how much are you going to pay for the damage!" Sierra was driving in accordance to normalcy, but the other party had, so suddenly, cut into her lane without a signal. As hard as she had stepped on her brake, she still collided with the car. They were supposed to be the ones held accountable for the collision. However, they got out of the car and shouted at her, extorting compensation. Sierra suspected that these men had done so deliberately to scam her. She took out her mobile phone and was ready to call the police. However, before she could even unlock her phone, one of the men had already wrenched the phone away from her. "We have something important t
...... In the middle of cleaning the table, Rosie said, "He doesn't only come here to have meals, but he would also get one to go every time. No jalapenos on the one to go. He says that you can't take spices because your stomach doesn't handle it well." Sierra did have a stomach problem, but it wasn't till the point that she couldn't take spicy food at all. Moreover, Johan had never brought any tacos back for her. Sierra figured that he was probably getting it for someone else so she asked, "What did he say to you when he asked you to pack it?" Rosie smiled and said, "He said that he was going to bring it for his girlfriend. He's obviously talking about you, isn't he?" "Oh, his girlfriend." Smiling, Sierra did not put forth any more questions as she knew that Johan had never regarded her as his girlfriend. For him, she was nothing more like a leech that he couldn't shake off. Rosie looked at Sierra and said earnestly, "I know you two fought tod
...... "My ability to act coy?" Sierra said inwardly. She had no idea from where did his temper sneak in again. However, she knew that somehow everything she had done seemed to piss him off. If he didn't like her, then why did he come looking for her? Did he have nothing else better to do? She smiled and said, "Mr. Silas, since you don't like being around me, then let's not meet anymore in the future, nor have any meals together. I'm afraid your appetite will take a nosedive when you see me." "You shouldn't say that, Sierra." Rosie handed one of the plates to Sierra and said, "Every couple gets into fights, but you must know your boundaries. Some words are too hurtful, and you shouldn't just say everything that comes to your mind." Sierra didn't make a sound. She wasn't a fan of others poking their noses in her affairs. Besides, she was not close to Rosie either so she found her rather meddlesome. Rosie didn't seem to register in her mind that Sierra was d
