Just as trains of thoughts flooded Silvia's mind, they arrived at the neighborhood where her mother lived. Terry stopped the car and said, "Miss Turner, we have arrived." "Oh... Okay..." Silvia came to her senses and replied. She got out of the car and thanked Terry. Just as she was walking into the neighborhood, she saw Mrs. Turner coming out of the supermarket. "Mom." "Silvia, you're back." When Mrs. Turner saw Silvia's pale face, she held her hand to Silvia's forehead, asking, "Are you not feeling well?" "I'm fine, Mom," Silvia shook her head. She gave Mrs. Turner a smile, but the smile was not reassuring at all. She quickly changed the subject. "Mom, what have you bought? Did you buy my favorite chicken wings?" "No. You didn't call me in advance so I didn't know you were coming back." There was still a concerned look on Mrs. Turner's face, but since Silvia was unwilling to say it, she didn't ask more. "Baby, I'll go back in and buy some chicken wings for yo
"Mom, I know... I know he's a good man." It was precisely because Silvia knew how good Jayden was that she was feeling afraid, but she did not know where her fear came from. "Silvia..." Mrs. Turner patted Silvia on the back and didn't ask anything more. She understood Silvia's personality clearly. Once Silvia decided not to share anything, no one could get anything out of her no matter how hard they tried. Also, Mrs. Turner didn't want to rub salt in her wounds. When Silvia thought it through, she would naturally tell her everything. "Mom, let's get some chicken wings." Silvia wiped away her tears and smiled at her mother as if nothing had happened. "Do you think I've gotten pettier since I got married?" "Not at all." Mrs. Turner's heart ached for Silvia. She said from the bottom of her heart, "My daughter is forever the best." "Thank you, Mom!" Silvia felt that the persons who loved her the most were her parents. No matter what she had become, their love for he
Silvia scooped some food onto Mrs. Turner's plate. "Mom, the weather has turned cold. Remember to put on more clothes. You can't let yourself catch a cold, or I'll worry about you." Mrs. Turner replied gently, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say." As they ate, the mother and daughter enjoyed a good conversation. Since Mrs. Turner cooked dinner, Silvia took the initiative to wash the dishes. The kitchen was already well kept by Mrs. Turner, but Silvia still cleaned it thoroughly. She wanted to do something for her mother, even though it was trivial. While Silvia was busy with the dishes, Mrs. Turner put on a clean bed sheet and quilt for Silvia and prepared all the things that Silvia needed. When Silvia couldn't find Mrs. Turner in her own bedroom, she was sure that she had gone to Silvia's room instead. As expected, Silvia spotted Mrs. Turner there. "Mom, I can do these myself." "Silvia, I am happy to do this for you. Are you going to deprive me of my ha
"The person in this photo is indeed not Silvia." Dr. Thames then swiped to the next photo and said, "This is the girl in the previous photo." Dr. Thames put her phone on the table so that Felix and Alina could have a clearer look. "Can you see it clearly now? This girl is very beautiful, isn't she?" "It's really not Silvia!" Alina exclaimed in surprise. At the same, she realized something else. "They have a similar figure, and also look alike from certain angles." "I've always known that an outstanding man like Jayden would never fall in love with someone like Silvia, let alone marry her. After seeing this photo, I finally understood everything. Silvia's nothing more than a substitute." After getting this photo and knowing that Silvia was probably just a substitute, Dr. Thames was on cloud nine. Things were not going her way lately and this discovery was something that cheered her up. Alina reacted quickly, asking, "Are you saying that Young Master Kyle took a f
If Silvia had betrayed him and fallen in love with Jayden, was she still worthy of his care and protection? Felix thought about it seriously. The question thrown by Dr. Thames was indeed a harsh one. It didn't take long for Felix to give his reply. "Yes! It's worth it! It will forever be worth it!" he said firmly. Dr. Thames was astonished by his answer. "Felix, are you crazy? Or have you lost your mind? Do you know what you're talking about? She's a sl*t who has fallen in love with someone else. What makes her so worthy for you to protect her like this?" "Do you need a reason to protect someone?" Felix asked indifferently. Dr. Thames screamed hysterically, "Even if you don't need a reason to protect her, you should find someone worthy of your protection! A woman like her doesn't deserve it!" "It's up to me to determine if she's worthy or not. You don't have to decide for me," Felix said with a calm expression. However, his gaze was sharp when he looked at
"Jayden, you won't lie to me, will you..." Silvia said in her sleep. Jayden's heart skipped a beat and he furrowed his brows. What did she hear about lately? Why did she have such a reaction in her sleep? he wondered. However, Silvia did not say anything more. Jayden did not get the answer he wanted. He sat down beside her and held her hand tightly. There were a lot of things he wanted to tell her, but he couldn't say a word. It was a hard fact that he had deceived her, and he had no way to justify himself. Jayden knew that Silvia's abnormal behavior was undoubtedly related to Felix. The sudden spread of Felix's news in University A was definitely not groundless. He must pay attention to this matter. With that, Jayden left the room, walked into the study next door and took out his mobile phone to call Eugene. Even though it was during midnight, Eugene answered the call on the first ring. "Sir, what can I do for you?" Jayden ordered,
Silvia pouted and pretended to be dissatisfied. "Dad, if you continue to show off in front of me, I will ignore you." Kurtson was amused by Silvia's cute expression that he laughed and said, "But you're not single, are you?" "Who says I'm not?" At that time, Silvia had not officially dated Felix yet. Looking at Silvia's blushing face, Kurtson teased her, "I'm guessing that Felix will ask you out to ski in a while. Are you sure you're still single?" "What does Felix asking me out to ski have anything to do with me not being single?" Silvia clearly understood her father's meaning, but because she was shy, she pretended not to know. More importantly, Felix had not confessed his love to her. She was not sure if he was just treating her as a sister. Kurtson smiled and said, "Don't you like Felix?" "Of course I like him!" Silvia answered right away. "So, what's your concern now?" "But ..." "But what?" "I'm not sure if Felix feels th
Suddenly, the image of Jayden crossed Silvia's mind... Whenever the weather changed, Jayden's old injuries would flare up. Silvia picked her phone up and dialed Jayden's number. It was only after she dialed his number that she recalled that he was far away in Hatford City for a business trip. Hatford City was located in the south, and its climate was completely different from that of Madison City. Even if it was currently snowing heavily in Madison City, Hatford City would at most be affected by the cold current and had a drop in temperature. Silvia figured that Jayden should be fine. While Silvia was lost in her thoughts, Jayden had already answered the phone. "Did the sun rise from the west today? Why is Mrs. Kyle up so early?" In Silvia's memory, Jayden had never addressed her as Mrs. Kyle. Therefore, when she heard this, she could feel her cheeks burning. "Well, I always get up late because of you." Jayden chuckled, "Because of me? Why?" "Y
...... 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
