"How could I trouble you, Dr. Thames?" Although they both worked for Jayden, Cherry felt that Dr. Thames was a doctor and her status was superior to a servant's. How could Cherry let Dr. Thames do her job? Dr. Thames smiled as she said, "Not at all, Auntie Cherry. On the contrary, I'll have to trouble you to prepare a hot water bag for Miss Turner." "Okay, I should go get it ready now. Otherwise, Master Jayden is going to worry about Miss Turner again," Auntie Cherry handed the cup of ginger tea to Dr. Thames and hurriedly left, for fear that she would delay even for a second longer. It was Dr. Thames who had asked Auntie Cherry to pass her the ginger tea. However, when Auntie Cherry actually handed it to her, she was exasperated. Why should she be the one serving that b*tch? Why! Why should she be the one? Dr. Thames was howling inwardly, but she did not dare to show it on her face. She had to continue to pretend to be the gentle, considerate and ki
"Master Jayden, I've already asked Auntie Cherry to prepare a hot water bag for Miss Turner. She will bring it here in a bit..." "You can leave now!" Before Dr. Thames could even finish, Jayden interrupted and asked her to go. Dr. Thames was slightly displeased. She wanted to speak up but she realized that Jayden's gaze was not on her at all. Dr. Thames was furious like she was on the verge of exploding. However, she tried her best to hold it back in and said, "Okay, I'll leave you two here then." Dr. Thames picked up her medical kit and took the last chance to assert herself before leaving. "Miss Turner, you can drink more of the ginger tea to warm up your body during your menstruation. I'll ask Auntie Cherry to prepare it for you, so remember to have it. Indeed, it's your body and it's up to you what you want to do with it. But please keep in mind that Master Jayden would be worried if you were to fall sick. So, please take good care of yourself." "Thank
When she imagined the scenario of Jayden buying them, Silvia felt warm yet amused. She smiled and looked at him with her eyebrows curved. "Did the store assistant think that you're a weirdo for buying so many sanitary pads?" "Why would she think so?" Although the store assistant did take a few more glances at him, Jayden did not feel that there was anything inappropriate for him to buy sanitary pads for his wife. Jayden thought it was a husband's duty to help his wife out when it came to such intimate matters. "Nothing..." As Silvia looked at his solemn face, she felt that she was the happiest woman in this world. "Jayden, come closer to me." "Why?" Jayden complied and got closer to her. Just as he was getting close to her, she suddenly clutched her arms around his neck and kissed him on the corner of his mouth. After the kiss, Silvia quickly retreated. However, Jayden refused to let her go. He held her waist, pulled her body against his, and started kissi
Silvia was unfazed as she looked at Dr. Thames's fierce gaze. Instead, she gave Dr. Thames a brilliant and harmless smile, indicating that she would be happy to see her gone. Silvia's smile ignited the fire hidden deep in Dr. Thames's heart. Since Silvia was convinced that Dr. Thames wanted to snatch Jayden away, her pretentious act would all be in vain. Dr. Thames walked up to Silvia and whispered softly, as if it was meant only for Silvia's ears, "Silvia, keep your excitement down. We can't be sure who will end up as the winner in the end." "Huh?" Silvia pursed her lips and smiled gently. She also whispered in Dr. Thames's ears, "He is my husband! Anyone who wants to take him away from me is my enemy." "Huh..." Dr. Thames sneered and said, "You b*tch, don't get carried away. Without his protection, you are nothing. It will be so easy to send you to hell." Silvia smiled brightly. "You are right. I'm nothing without his protection, so thank you for your w
"I heard from Butler Banks, so it should be true. Otherwise, with Master Jayden's personality, he would never bring a girl back home after meeting her only once. I think the reason he took Miss Turner home was that he had long been interested in her." Auntie Cherry regarded Dr. Thames as someone she could trust, so she just shared her thoughts freely. "He's long been interested in Miss Turner? Then why didn't he bring her home earlier?" Dr. Thames could not get her head around this point. "Err... Well..." Auntie Cherry only said it casually, her words failed her if she was asked why. "These are all unfounded opinions. We can't possibly guess Master Jayden's thoughts." "Auntie Cherry, Master Jayden won't like us discussing his private matters. It's okay that you spoke to me about it, but remember not to tell anyone else." Dr. Thames's advice seemed to be out of concern for Auntie Cherry. But in fact, she was pushing the blame on Auntie Cherry and stripping herself of a
"She didn't betray me! No! She definitely won't!" Felix roared, "She told me to wait for her until she grew up, and she would marry me. She wanted to be my wife." Those words still rang in his ears occasionally, reminding him of the promise between them... Silvia telling him to wait for her to grow up so he could marry her. She loved him wholeheartedly. He had just disappeared for a few months, how would she fall in love with someone else? No matter the evidence placed right in front of his eyes, he was not willing to believe it. Although he saw with his own eyes that she was together with Jayden, he believed that Silvia must have been threatened into complying... That she had no choice but to be with Jayden. Dr. Thames shook him hard and exclaimed, "Felix, wake up and face reality. Don't live in your fantasy anymore." "Reality? Fantasy?" The reality was too cruel to bear, so Felix used alcohol to numb himself. In that way, he would be able to pretend that
"My style? What's my style?" Dr. Thames poured another glass of wine and said, "I'm just working hard for my future. What's wrong with me?" Dr. Thames smashed the bottle to the ground and roared madly, "Many would do anything to achieve their own goals. I am just one of them. As my closest family, why can't they understand me?" "Yes, there is nothing wrong with working hard for your goal. This is just how life is. It does not matter what you have done. As a winner, you're always in the right." Felix finally understood Dr. Thames's obsession with Jayden. The two of them were the same kind of people, who would attain their goals by all means. To snatch her sister's man, Dr. Thames did not even hesitate to hurt her own sister. Dr. Thames even blamed her parents for not understanding her. Jayden used all kinds of vicious means to get Silvia. If Felix had not been so fortunate at that time, he would have also ended up dead like Dr. Thames's sister. Thinking of
She suddenly flew into a rage because she was worried about his health! "This silly woman, how could she be so adorably foolish?" Jayden pulled her into his embrace and hugged her tightly. "Silvia, haven't I told you how silly you are? But you still don't want to admit it. It's not like there's only Dr. Thames in this world. I can still hire other doctors." "There are a lot of capable doctors in the world, but none of them know your condition like Dr. Thames." Silvia removed his hand from hers, slipped out of his embrace, and complained, "You dismissed Dr. Thames in such a hurry that she hasn't briefed anything to the other doctors. You can't do that! You should call her and keep her here!" Jayden said, "I will get someone to fetch my medical records from her tomorrow. I will give my utmost cooperation to the new doctor and go through a comprehensive physical examination. I promise! I will get better as soon as possible." "Jayden, do you think seeking medi
...... 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
