Mrs. Turner's playful words had caught Jayden by surprise. After being in a daze for a while, Jayden blushed and started to stammer, "Yes... Um, I'd better send you home first then." It was fortunate that Silvia did not see how embarrassed he was at that moment. If she were to see it, she would definitely die from laughter. No one would expect the domineering Young Master Kyle to be in such an awkward situation. Mrs. Turner waved her hand and said, "My house is just down the street. I can go back by myself. You should get back to work now, instead of wasting your time on an old woman like me." "Mom, you're not old at all. If you were to go out with Silvia, other people would definitely think that the two of you are sisters." Jayden did not say this just to please Mrs. Turner, as he really thought so. Silvia was now twenty years old. Mrs. Turner got married at a young age, so when she gave birth to Silvia, she was only in her early twenties. Now, she was only in
Silvia had already forgotten about the message that she had sent to Jayden. "What are you talking about?" Jayden added, "So you're not angry at me for not replying to your message? Then tell me who angered you today?" Silvia said, "No one!" Jayden said, "If that's really the case, then why are you making a fuss? And you're going back to your mother's house?" "Who said that I was making a fuss?" Silvia corrected, "Also, I really can't stress this enough, that's not just my mom's house, it's my real home." Jayden did not want to argue with her about this, because even if she did not want to admit it, she was still his wife. It was the reality that no one could ever change. More importantly, Mrs. Turner was on Jayden's side now. "Tell me where you are now. I will go pick you up right away." Before she could be sure of the reason why her period was delayed, Silvia did not want Jayden to find out about it. She only wanted to go home to test it out, but w
As soon as they heard that Silvia was not pregnant, there was an obvious disappointment in both Jayden and Silvia's eyes. The doctor wanted to comfort them, but Jayden held Silvia's hand tightly and said, "Silly girl, you are still young. We are not in a hurry." But in fact, he was very eager for her to have his baby too! He had been working hard making love to Silvia as he wanted her to get pregnant as soon as possible. However, at the same time, he did not want to put any pressure on her. The doctor echoed, "That's right, both of you are still young. You really can't rush into it when it comes to this. If you really want to get pregnant, you can prepare for it by reconditioning your body. Then, the baby you conceive would be healthier." Silvia forced a smile and said, "I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry. However, this guy is getting older now, so I guess he should be anxious. After all, the older a person is, the more difficult it would be for him to have
Reagan said, "Boss, I heard that a big shot has sponsored our school with a huge amount of funding. Also, lecturers who have not been doing their jobs well would be fired and they would be replaced with top lecturers from elsewhere." "Big shot?" Silvia immediately thought of Jayden. However, she guessed that he would not have that much time to meddle in the university's affairs. Unless... He really had nowhere else to spend his money, so he decided to spend it on the university? "If it really was that b*stard Jayden, he could have just asked me to spend his money if he didn't know what to spend on!" Silvia thought. She had many different ideas on how to spend the money. For instance, she recently had the idea of opening her own restaurant. The restaurant would serve a variety of cuisines. Therefore, no matter what she wanted to eat, she could just go to her own restaurant and have them all in one place. Reagan nodded and said, "Yeah, that's right. Since th
Soon enough, Jayden recalled the time when Silvia was abducted and thrown into a tub of ice water for several hours, and she almost lost her life. He told the doctor, "A few years ago, she was almost frozen to death after being soaked in ice water for a few hours. Could that be the reason?" "Yes, Sir, it's very likely." As the cause was discovered, the doctor spoke a little excitedly. However, when she saw Jayden's somber face, she hurriedly lowered her head, "Sir, don't worry too much. It's not a serious issue and it can be easily treated. Mrs. Kyle only needs to recondition her body and she will be able to conceive again." At this moment, Jayden was only concerned about Silvia's health. As for whether she could get pregnant or not, that was secondary. The doctor said a lot but she did not mention anything that Jayden was concerned about. Jayden was very dissatisfied. He raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Just get to the point!" The doctor was a lit
Jayden had always been punctual. He would never make Silvia wait for a long time. As soon as Silvia snuck out of the lecture hall, Jayden's phone call came in. "Are you out yet?" Silvia said happily, "Yeah, I'm walking down the stairs now. Just give me five more minutes, Young Master Kyle." Jayden said, "Okay." All classes were still ongoing, so all lecturers and students were in the classrooms. As Silvia walked out of the academic building, there was no one around her at all, making it very obvious that she was sneaking out of class. However, Silvia had often skipped classes, so she did not feel weird. She hopped happily to the campus entrance while humming to her favorite song. "Looking forward to your return, my baby." "Looking forward to your embrace, my baby." ...... Silvia was tone-deaf. Her singing was so terrible that Reagan would always tease her by saying that their ears would bleed whenever Silvia sang. On top of that, sh
Eating was definitely Silvia's forte. She had ordered two portions of beef stew, a plate of pasta, a portion of Bratwurst, and even a pork burger. Although Jayden knew that Silvia was a big eater, he was still surprised. "Silvia, are you sure that you can finish all of these?!" "Excuse me, could you please leave the menu here? I might be ordering more later. Thanks." After ordering the dishes, Silvia looked at Jayden who was sitting opposite her. "What's wrong? You're Young Master Kyle, aren't you? Do you think that I'll make you go broke for treating me to one meal?" "I'm not afraid of that at all. I'm just worried that you'll get indigestion after finishing so much food." Jayden waved his hand and stopped the waiter. "Excuse me, could you please cancel the bratwurst and the burger for us? Thanks." Silvia was so annoyed that she immediately stood up from her seat. She pointed her finger at Jayden and complained, "Jayden Elias Kyle, how could you?! You promised
"Huh..." It was obviously a shameless answer, but Jayden could still put on a serious look. Silvia was so angry that she raised her leg and stepped on his foot. "You're so shameless!" Jayden said again, "Well, I think I've heard that women seem to like shameless men too. Is it not a fact that girls like bad guys?" Silvia really did not know how to communicate with this man who had been thinking so highly of himself anymore! Silvia was so annoyed that she turned around and wanted to leave. However, Jayden pulled her back. She couldn't break free from his grip so she shouted at him, "You can continue being a bad guy! Just keep waiting for a woman who likes a bad man to fall in love with you!" "I don't want any other women, I only want you." Jayden held Silvia in his arms and said with a serious look. However, when he looked at the startled look in Silvia's eyes, he immediately changed his tone. "Don't women like men who are a little flirty? He was scar
...... 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
