"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
"Mom, can I really leave this place? For real?" Hearing that she could leave, Silvia instantly became energetic. However, she could not believe that she could leave this hell... Alive! "Yes, as long as you let the doctor treat your wound, I will definitely take you home." Mrs. Turner patted Silvia's hand and gave her a reassuring smile. Then she turned to look at Jayden, and her voice became a little more serious, "Mr. Kyle, can I take my daughter home?" Mrs. Turner was very pleased with Jayden as her son-in-law. She had praised Jayden repeatedly in front of Silvia because she wanted Silvia and Jayden to live a good life together. However, just after she handed Silvia over to Jayden, Silvia ended up hurt. Seeing that Silvia was in such a miserable state, Mrs. Turner was heartbroken. Obviously, Mrs. Turner would be slightly disappointed with Jayden. Mrs. Turner had to bring Silvia home and take care of her personally. As for whether Silvia wanted to come ba
Silvia left. At Jayden's home, nothing truly belonged to her there, so when she left, she did not bring anything with her. "Miss Turner..." Auntie Cherry was sad to see Silvia leave. She did not know if she would ever come back, so she chased after her. "Miss Turner, the weather is still bad and the snow on the road has not been cleared. Why don't you stay for another two days before you go?" Silvia stopped and turned to Auntie Cherry with a smile. "Auntie Cherry, you don't have to persuade me. I know what I am doing. It's so cold out here. Go back inside before you catch a cold." "Miss Turner..." She couldn't keep Silvia. Auntie Cherry was so sad that she was tearing. "Please come back whenever you feel like it. The door here will always be open to you." "Always open to you..." These words should not have come from Auntie Cherry's mouth, but from Jayden instead. However, he was nowhere to be found. Silvia smiled. "Auntie Cherry, thank you for
"Ding, ding, ding. " Suddenly, Jayden's phone rang. He looked over and saw a phone number that he could not be more familiar with. He collected his composure and answered the phone. "Mom, it's me." From the other end of the line came a gentle and warm voice, "Jayden, your father and I have come to Madison City to travel. If you have time, we'll go over to visit you. If you're busy, we will carry on with our existing plans." Karen did not know if Jayden would welcome them, so she told him that she was here to visit Madison City. She even tried to make it sound like she was very busy. If Jayden did not want to see them, he would not feel guilty after rejecting them. To not make Jayden feel uncomfortable, Karen tried to come up with the best plans. Now, she could only quietly wait for Jayden's answer. "Mom, you, you and Dad came to Madison City?" Jayden was a little surprised to hear that they were in Madison City. He never thought that his parents woul
The living conditions of Silvia's house were incomparable to that of West Side. In this snowy weather, the scenery at West Side was exquisite, while at her house, the only thing that could be seen were the imprints on the snow formed by the car tyres. "Mrs. Turner, Miss Turner, we are arriving soon. It's drizzling now. Should I drop you off at the community entrance or the underground parking lot?" The driver that Stanley arranged was quite polite to Mrs. Turner and Silvia. "Please stop in front of the supermarket outside the community. We'll get off there." After getting out of the car, Mrs. Turner politely thanked the driver and waited for the car to drive off before making a move. "Silvia, why don't you accompany me to buy some food from the supermarket? I'll cook you something delicious later." Silvia remained gloomily silent and Mrs. Turner did not ask anything because she understood her. However, she had to find something to distract Silvia. "Okay." Silvia
...... 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
