After accompanying the boys to sleep, Jayden got out of bed. He walked out of the door cautiously, making sure not to make a sound. After thinking for a while, he decided to give his family a phone call to tell them that the boys were safe with him. Jayden dialed his mother's number. As soon as it was connected, the person on the other side had already answered the call. His mother asked in a gentle voice. "Is this Jayden?" "Yes, it's me, Mom!" Jayden nodded and said after a short pause, "Julien and Levi are safe with me now. I will take good care of them. You don't have to worry about them." "Okay, I'm not worried if they are with you. Jayden, how are you doing lately?" Compared to the two boys, Karen Daly was more concerned about Jayden. The previous time when he returned to Chatterton Town, he had told everyone that he was married. However, he did not bring his wife along with him, so they did not get a chance to see his wife. They weren't sure if he wa
"How can I not notice you?" Jayden took her into his arms and his hand was starting to slide across her body. "Well, it's all because of you. You said that I was bothering you." "Jayden, can't you just talk without touching around?" Silvia grabbed his hand and continued, "I'm telling you, we're going to have to talk this all out tonight. I don't want any more misunderstandings between us in the future." "Okay, what do you want to talk about?" Jayden agreed without a second thought. Now that Silvia was holding on to one of his hands, Jayden started touching her with another hand. His wife was now in his arms, how could he miss out on the opportunity to take advantage of her, right? "You know more or less about my family." Silvia felt that if she wanted Jayden to be honest with her, she had to be open with him. She had always been on her guard when she was with him, of course Jayden would not tell her everything about himself. She knew that in a relationship, there must
"The genius of the business world, that name really fit him well." Silvia said excitedly, "Young Master Kyle, I'm telling you, it only took him three years to become the most influential figure in Madison City. This is something that has never happened in Madison City. Your father, Mr. Kyle, is really amazing." Jayden raised his eyebrows and asked, "You mean the one everyone had been talking about, that Mr. Kyle?" Silvia said, "Did I confuse you? Did you think of someone else instead?" Jayden said, "No, I heard you loud and clear." Silvia thought of something else. "Jayden, didn't you tell me that your father loves your mother very much... if that is the case, then your father is not a pervert like what the people would say." Jayden smiled and said, "Only an idiot like you would believe in those rumors." "You just feel like something is missing if you don't tease me, do you?" Silvia glared at him and said, "By the way, since Mr. Kyle is not a pervert
Although he still could not trust Silvia with it, Jayden still chose to believe her this time. He handed her their marriage certificate the next morning and said, "Here you go. If anything happens to it, I believe that you know what will happen to you." Silvia took it over and put it in her bag. Then, she rolled her eyes at him. "You're such a petty man! Am I that insignificant to you, compared to this piece of paper?" "No, of course you're much more important than that." Jayden pinched her face and said, "Have fun in class. I'll go pick you up later." Silvia waved her hand and said, "No, you don't have to pick me up today. I'm going home tonight to accompany my mother." Jayden raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you still mad at me?" Silvia did not understand what Jayden meant. "Why would I be mad at you?" Jayden added, "I've already told you that the boys are my younger brothers and they were being so clingy because they haven't seen me for a long t
...... There was a photo in the envelope. It was of a girl sitting under some grapevines, basking in the sun, and it was none other than Silvia. Silvia could not recall that she had taken such a photo, but she did look quite good in it. In the photo, she was dressed in a plain T-shirt with a pair of blue jeans, and her long hair was tied into a ponytail. The golden sunshine shone on her, making her look somewhat artsy. The longer Silvia looked at it, the more she liked it. Then, when she was about to put the photo back into the envelope, she noticed that there were some wordings on the back of the photo, "You are the sun in my day and the wind in my sky. I love you, Silvia!" "Humph, you're finally being this nice to me after being so mean to me all these while." Silvia put the photo against her chest and she looked delighted. "You even said 'I love you'! I really never expected you to be this cheesy, Young Master Kyle. Humph, do you think that you could sweep me
The geographical location of Madison City was unique, so the weather in November was always unpredictable. It would be sunny during the day and wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts would just be okay. However, when the night came, the temperature would drop drastically. Even with a thick coat, one would still feel chilled to the bone. The weather was extraordinarily strange that night. At nine o'clock at night, the wind started to blow strongly. The cold wind which was blowing on the people's face felt like a knife cutting through their skin. Usually, the shopping malls would be filled with people at this time. However, as the temperature had gone down so drastically, most people had decided to stay home to avoid the cold weather. Hence, it was rather conspicuous when Silvia was standing at the entrance of the lobby by herself. When a few of her acquaintances walked past her, they would greet her in a worried tone, "Silvia, the weather is so cold now, why are you
Sure enough, it was because of the gunshot wound that he had sustained while saving Karen Joy. Thinking of the pain that Jayden had to go through for the past three years, Julien was so distressed that his eyes had turned red. However, he was a stubborn and arrogant little boy, so he would never shed tears so easily. Therefore, he raised his head to stop his tears from flowing out and asked in a cold tone, "Dr. Thames, are you the one who has been treating Jayden for the past three years?" Dr. Thames put away the syringe and nodded. "I've been working for Master Jayden for more than three years now. However, I couldn't do much for him at all." Julien asked, "What do you mean?" Dr. Thames added, "Before this, Master Jayden was in poor health, but he would never undergo any treatment. It was only a few months ago when he finally allowed me to treat him. If it weren't for the long delay, his condition wouldn't have been so bad." "Do you mean that he did
Levi leaned into Silvia and sat down. "Sister Silvia, do you hate Dr. Thames because you're afraid that she would steal Jayden away?" "What are you talking about, little guy? If somebody wants to steal Jayden away, that person can just go ahead with it. I don't even care about him." Silvia was embarrassed because even a child could see through her. Was she being that obvious? "Don't worry, Sister Silvia. You are our sister-in-law now and Jayden only likes you. No one can ever take him away from you." Although Silvia refused to admit it, Levi could see it clearly. When Dr. Thames touched Jayden while she was giving him an injection, the look in Silvia's eyes was so fierce, as if she wanted to cut Dr. Thames' hand off. If she was not worried that Dr. Thames would snatch Jayden away, then why did that happen? It was common for women to speak with a forked tongue. His mother, Mia Kyle was the same too. Although she loved Neil Brown deeply, she would always say that she wo
...... 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
