Silvia laughed at herself for being silly. She hated Jayden obviously, however sometimes, she would feel sorry for him for no reason. She really wanted to tell him that although his parents started off well, they still ended up getting a divorce. However, the words wouldn't come out of her mouth. She thought perhaps she was being nice, that she didn't want to rub salt to his wound. At that moment, Jayden suddenly reached out to hold her hand. "Later, they had children together. They experienced a lot of adversities. However, they overcame those challenges together. Now that their children have grown up, they lead peaceful and happy lives." In Jayden's view, the love between his parents was not that of a fairy tale. Jayden had never heard his father say that he loved his mother, but everyone around them could feel their love for each other. "Peaceful and happy lives?" Silvia was flabbergasted. No way! When she thought of that, Silvia blurted out
As expected, the next day, Silvia got up late and was late for school. She looked at the well-dressed man in front of her with plaintive eyes and said, "Young Master Kyle, why didn't you wake me up?" Jayden didn't wake her up despite getting up early himself! What's more, he turned off her alarm clock causing her to oversleep. She would definitely be a laughing stock if she were to go to school at this time. Jayden looked relaxed. With a faint smile on his face, he said, "I'll send you to the campus after breakfast." "Is this breakfast for human beings?" The food on the table consisted of oatmeal snacks and salad. There was no meat at all. Jayden looked at her and asked, "You're not eating?" "I am." If she didn't eat, she would be starved to death. Besides, the food tasted good, especially the oatmeal snacks. However, she was too arrogant to eat more. On the way to the campus after breakfast, Silvia kept muttering, "Young Master Kyle, I'm tell
"Do you have to bring this up?" Audrey was unhappy. She glared at Silvia and said, "You are so unlike a woman, so you won't understand, Silvia. Shopping can satisfy a woman's vanity and heal all wounds. Shopping is the most enjoyable thing in a woman's life." Silvia asked the waiter for the menu and handed it to Audrey. "Well, I have never heard that shopping could heal wounds before you said so!" "Why don't you try it out next time?" Audrey picked up the menu and looked at it. "I'll have a cup of honey tea. What do you want to have?" Silvia massaged her tired calves while saying, "I want a glass of iced lemon tea with sugar." "I heard from Reagan that you love to eat chicken," asked Audrey. "Would you like to order some fried chicken drumsticks?" Silvia gave Audrey the menu because she didn't want to see the meat dishes on the menu. However, Audrey didn't realize it and especially mentioned ordering meat to Silvia! Silvia looked around instinctively
Silvia emphasized, "Other than being partners in bed, there's nothing else between Jayden and me, and it will be the same in the future." No matter how hard Silvia tried to explain it, Audrey just wouldn't believe a word. "Silvia, listen to me. If you like Jayden, then go ahead and love him with all your heart. Both of you are single, so why can't you just admit that you like him? There are so many people in this world who end up breaking up anyway. You are not the only one who experienced that." "I don't like him. I have someone else whom I love. That man grew up with me and he was the highlight of my youth. After we've entered college, he confessed to me and we got together. I always thought that after we both graduated from college, I would marry him and have children with him. I always dreamt that we would live a happy life together. Felix is the man I love, and the one I want to marry. I want to spend the rest of my life with him... And until now, I can still recall th
Humph. That a**hole Jayden was threatening her again. Did he think that Silvia would be afraid of him?! Silvia quickly got out of bed and locked her bedroom door. Then, she pushed the armchair in her room towards the door and propped it against the door. She was confident that Jayden couldn't do anything to her! Silvia clapped her hands complacently but little did she know that as soon as she turned around, she would realize that someone was already in her room. To be more precise, there was a man on her bed. The man only had a towel wrapped around his body as he sat on her bed with a book in his hand. "You... How did you come in?" Did Jayden have teleportation skills? Silvia certainly had closed the door, so how did he come in? Jayden's gaze was on the book in his hand, but his finger was pointed at the balcony. "F*ck!" This shameless man actually came in through the balcony. It was Silvia's own fault for overlooking that spot. "Are you
"You know that I haven't eaten any meat for a whole month. How can I not be hungry?" That afternoon, Silvia did not have her lunch so that she could eat more roast duck. She had intentionally kept her stomach empty for this very meal. After ordering the roast duck, Silvia handed the menu over to Jayden and said, "Have a look and see if there's anything else that you want to eat. I'm not exaggerating this but the roast duck here is amazing. I can guarantee that you'll remember it for the rest of your life." Seeing that she was so excited, Jayden did not want to disappoint her. He picked up the menu and ended up ordering a plate of salad. "What a stingy man! You're filthy rich, do you think that you will go broke treating me to this meal?!" She had never seen someone so stingy like him who would only order a plate of salad while treating someone else to a meal. Jayden answered calmly, "Do you not know how much you could put away? I'm actually worried that I might
Silvia glared at him and said, "Jayden Elias Kyle, the more I look at you, the uglier you are. You are the ugliest man in the world!" Jayden chuckled. "You're so childish!" It was such a childish game, but he played along with her. After living with Silvia for quite some time, Jayden's thinking had inadvertently become a little more childish. Silvia pouted her lips and said, "By the way, I've got good news to tell you. As you know, my family house got foreclosed a few months ago. Well, I've finally bought it back, and I can take my mom home tomorrow." "Congratulations!" Of course, Jayden knew that Silvia had already bought the house again, as he was the one behind everything after all. On top of that, Silvia would also be receiving better news shortly! "I don't have any classes tomorrow so I'm going over to the hospital to bring my mom home." Silvia finally regained the ownership of the house that was filled with all the beautiful memories of her family, s
Could it be that she hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and so her stomach had gotten used to bland food? Therefore, she was suffering from indigestion after wolfing down half a roast duck? "Urgh..." Just as Silvia was thinking about it, she felt nauseous again. She held on to the toilet bowl but still nothing came out. After a long time had passed, nothing improved. If the situation persists, she probably would not be able to go to bed that night. Therefore, Silvia decided to go to the kitchen to get some water and ask Auntie Cherry if she had any medicine. Silvia came downstairs. Auntie Cherry was still awake, so when she saw Silvia coming downstairs again, she asked hurriedly, "Miss Turner, what can I do for you?" "I'm having an upset stomach and I feel like vomiting." Silvia pressed her stomach. "So, I came down to get some water, maybe I'll feel better after." "You're having an upset stomach and you feel like throwing up?" Auntie Cherry's jaw dr
...... 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
