Compared to a sickly Jayden, Silvia preferred an arrogant and oppressive Jayden. He would be confident and in high spirits, as if he was the leader of the world! Silvia had seen how domineering he was. That was why she was so heartbroken to see him lying in bed and looking so weak. She was so distressed that she even wished she could get sick on his behalf. She moved and gently struggled out of his embrace. She lay beside him and said, "Jayden, you have to get well soon. Don't let me worry about you anymore, okay?" It was as if he had heard her. His furrowing brows were starting to ease up. Silvia nestled her head in his chest once again and said, "Don't worry, I'll be with you." ...... After Jayden had fallen asleep, Silvia checked his body temperature again. It was only when she had seen that his body temperature had dropped to 37.6 degrees Celsius that she could finally feel at ease. Then, she went downstairs to prepare Jayden's breakfast. Silvia
Silvia often heard from her mother that men would sometimes behave like a child. They could act so childishly to the point that it would be a complete eye-opener. Silvia didn't think so in the past. However, she had finally experienced it that day. She really could not agree more. Jayden was usually overbearing and arrogant. But at this very moment, he actually wanted her to feed him. Did he really think that he was a three-year-old? However, there was nothing Silvia could do to him. After all, he was a patient. If she didn't let him win, what else could she do? Beat him up? "Young Master Kyle, are you full now?" Jayden had already finished two bowls of oatmeal. Based on his current condition, he should be full by now. However, he just wouldn't stop eating it. Silvia was worried that the fever might have actually damaged his brain. "Yeah, I'm almost full." Jayden did not have much appetite, but Silvia was the one who cooked it. If he did not eat more of it
Silvia opened her inbox and saw that there was an unread email. "Silvia, you'd better take a good look at this email. You'll definitely get a lot out of it." Alina was the sender. What the h*ll was she trying to do again? Silvia did not understand Alina's intentions, but she still clicked on the email. Silvia could see two photos attached. However, the downloading speed was too slow so it was taking quite a while. Silvia was so anxious that she started hitting her phone. Auntie Cherry came over and asked, "What's wrong, Miss Turner?" "Auntie Cherry, I'm fine." Without blinking, she stared at her phone on the table. The more she looked at the progress bar, the more nervous she became. After waiting for a long time, the download was finally complete. And at the same time, Silvia saw the girl in the photograph. The girl In the photo was very beautiful, so much so that she would leave a deep impression on anyone who saw her. The girl in
A replica! A replacement! A cheap substitute! These words ran through Silvia's mind one after another. Silvia knew all this while that there was a huge disparity between her and Jayden. Jayden was smart, charismatic, and rich, all of which Silvia did not possess. They were from different worlds. It was simply a mistake for them to be together. That was something Silvia knew very well. But just when she thought that it was impossible for them to be together, he had given her all the gentleness that every woman in the world longed for. Jayden lured Silvia into his wonderful world, and made her think that as long as they liked each other, their identities would not matter. However, the more beautiful the imagination was, the crueler the reality would be. The better he treated her, the more ironic everything seemed to be at this moment. The voice in her head overwhelmed her. It was like a magic curse, reminding her that she was just a r
"I grew up with her, watched her grow up and become more beautiful day by day. Gradually, my feelings for her were no longer platonic. I liked her and wanted to make her mine..." Jayden had hidden these thoughts deep in his heart for many years, and they would torture him from time to time. He was afraid that Silvia would leave him if she were to find out about it, so he had never dared to face it. However, since she had already found it out and even asked him about it, Jayden had decided to tell her everything. This was the only way they could clear up all the misunderstandings between them. He thought that would be able to receive her forgiveness and understanding by being honest to her. It turned out that Jayden really fancied his sister. It was not just Silvia's thinking. It was all true... Silvia's heart was aching. She felt as if someone was squeezing her heart so tightly that she could barely breathe. "Silvia..." Jayden called out her name worriedly
Jayden waved his hand and said, "You can leave now." Carson packed up and left with his medical kit in his hand. After taking two steps forward, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Master Jayden, Mrs. Kyle will have to figure this all out by herself." Jayden knew very well that a person's temper was formed over an extended period of time. If he wanted Silvia to change, it wouldn't be an easy task, especially for someone like Silvia who had such a bad temper. Silvia probably would not listen to whatever he would say to her anymore. Moreover, he had no idea how to explain it to her as what upset her was the truth. After Carson left, Jayden held Silvia's hand tightly in his palms. He could not explain it to her, but he was very clear of one thing. No matter what, he would never let go of this hot-tempered, feisty lass! Silvia did not know how important she was to him. Perhaps to him, she was already as indispensable as air. If she were to leave him, h
After the heavy snow, the ground was completely covered in white. The historic Madison City was as beautiful as a city in a fairy tale, so there would be many tourists who would visit the city during this time of the year. At this point in time, Madison City had become much more vibrant due to a significant increase in tourism. However, West Side was shrouded in shadow and the entire area was even colder than how it usually was during the rainy season. It was as if a destructive tsunami was going to happen at any time. The reason was none other than the conflict between Jayden and Silvia. Both of them were in a stalemate and no one was willing to give in. All the helpers in the house suffered as well. They were so afraid that they did not even dare to breathe heavily in front of them. "Silvia, are you trying to court death?" It had been three days since he had lost control and forced himself on her. Jayden had used all kinds of methods, but Silvia was still not
Bright red blood was flowing out of Silvia's body, but there was a brief moment that Jayden had felt that it was his own blood... She was the one bleeding, but it was his heart that was aching! The feeling of suffocation hit him like a tsunami, making him panic and tremble in fear. "Silvia, you silly woman. Are you an idiot?" Jayden suppressed the panic in his heart and ran up to Silvia. He pulled her into his arms and roared, "Carson, get your a*s in here right now." In order to leave him, Silvia went to such extreme means to hurt herself! D*mn it! How much did this woman hate him for her to do this to herself? What on earth did she want him to do? What should he do to make her believe that she was the only woman he wanted now? "An idiot? That's right. I'm so stupid that I'm fooled by all the sweet things you've said to me." If Silvia were a little smarter, she would have discovered that she was just a replacement. She would not have waited un
...... 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
