"Master Jayden, Miss Turner finally came out. Should we follow her?" Stanley accompanied Jayden outside the university for two whole hours. Stanley was so excited to see Silvia that he exclaimed aloud. However, he did not expect that Jayden would glare at him coldly. Jayden glared at him and said, "Why are you yelling so loudly? Do you want everyone to hear you?" Stanley was so scared that he asked sheepishly, "Master Jayden, are we going to follow her or not?" Jayden glared at Stanley again. It was frustrating to have such a foolish subordinate. "What do you think?" If Stanley was given a choice, he would not follow Silvia. He would have gotten off the car and drag her home. That would definitely teach her to be obedient! Jayden knew that Stanley was a blockhead, so he commanded, "Follow her!" "Okay. I'll follow behind them." Stanley obeyed and quickly drove to keep up with Silvia and the others. After watching Silvia get on the bus, he followed be
The weather had changed again. It looked like there was going to be another heavy snowfall at night. After getting off the bus, Silvia called Mrs. Turner and asked if she needed to buy any food home. She wanted to make sure that all the necessities were prepared so that if there was heavy snowfall, they could stay at home and not starve. Mrs. Turner was thoughtful. She had already gone out and arranged everything that needed to be done. She then told Silvia to come home as soon as possible. As soon as Silvia hung up, snow began to fall. She quickly ran to the residential complex. ...... "Master Jayden, Miss Turner has returned to the complex." Watching Silvia enter the community, Stanley reported to Jayden. Jayden glared at Stanley again. Jayden could see Silvia with his own eyes, so why was Stanley spouting such unnecessary nonsense? Stanley was speechless. Jayden glared at him again. What had he done wrong? Stanley felt extremely
Silvia insisted on finding out the truth, and Felix did not want to lie to her too. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Silvia, it's a little cold outside, can I go to your place and have a cup of hot tea?" "Of course you can." Silvia didn't have any reasons to reject Felix. Moreover, she did not want to reject him either. She had too many things that she wanted to ask him about. "Let's go to your place now then." Felix reached out and habitually held Silvia's hand. Silvia also wanted to put her hand in Felix's palm, but just as her hand was about to touch his, Silvia suddenly thought of Jayden. Jayden's face appeared in Silvia's mind, reminding her that she was no longer Felix's girlfriend. Even if she was unwilling to admit it, she would not be able to deny the fact that she was still Jayden's wife. Silvia withdrew her hand in time and said, "After you." "What's the matter, Silvia?" Felix clearly knew what was wrong with her, but he pretended not to
Although Felix knew that Silvia and Jayden were married even before Silvia disclosed it, Felix had always believed that Silvia was being forced into it. Upon hearing Silvia confessing that she liked Jayden and wanted to be together with Jayden, Felix felt as if someone was clenching his heart. It was so painful that even breathing had become a luxury to him. Silvia, oh, Silvia. Ever since she was born, Felix had stayed by her side and protected her for 20 years. He had been with Silvia for 20 years, but it was incomparable to the time she was with Jayden. Silvia had only been together with Jayden for a few months, and yet she was able to tell Felix with such certainty that she liked Jayden and she even wanted to spend the rest of her life with him! "Felix, I like you, and I want to be with you for the rest of my life!" "Felix, I hope that time could go by faster so that I can become your bride at this instant." "Felix, no matter what, you must
Before entering the house, Silvia calmed herself down. She could not let Mrs. Turner notice that she was upset. "Mom, I am back!" "Silvia, let me take a look at your hand." Mrs. Turner was thinking about Silvia's injury all day and was afraid that it would have gotten worse. Silvia put down her bag and showed Mrs. Turner by raising her hand. "Mom, I went to the doctor just now before going home. The doctor said that it will heal in a few days." Mrs. Turner felt relieved, knowing that Silvia's wound was treated. "Go wash your hands then and let's have an early dinner." "Mom, let me guess what delicacies you made today" Silvia took a big whiff. "Yeah, I can smell the fragrance of pigeon. If I'm not wrong, you must have made pigeon soup." Mrs. Turner smiled and said, "My greedy little cat. You have such a great sense of smell." Silvia held Mrs. Turner in her arms. "Mom, if you continue to feed me like this, I will definitely gain weight." "It's be
"He spent a lot of money on me, but I turned him down..." Speaking of the past, Audrey felt helpless. "I can trade my body for money, but I couldn't do that with him." "Audrey..." Silvia wanted to persuade Audrey, but she did not know how to. The journey in life was different for everyone. No matter where they had been or what they had experienced, everyone hoped that they could live a happy life. "I turned him down, and he let me go as well," Audrey said. "Later, no one dared to make a deal with me. They all seemed to be afraid of something. I didn't know the reason until one day, someone brought it up to me." Silvia quietly listened to Audrey, "That man never appeared in front of me after, but he managed to drive me into a corner." Audrey continued, "I tried everything to raise enough money to pay my debts, but it still wasn't enough. When I was at rock bottom, I looked for him and offered a deal. I stripped naked in front of him, but he did not even loo
At West Side... It was already late at night, but Jayden's house was still brightly lit. The doctors and helpers were busy. Jayden's old illness relapsed because of the change of weather. He had a high fever and once again went into a coma. Besides the high fever, he was also experiencing other medical complications, which made his condition even worse. Dr. York was not familiar with Jayden's bodily condition. Seeing that Jayden's condition was not improving even after two doses of medicine, Carson started to panic. "Dr. York, how is Jayden doing?" Karen Daly heard of Jayden's condition from Julien Glover Kyle, but she had never seen it with her own eyes. Now that she had witnessed Jayden passing out because of the high fever, her heart was aching so much that she could feel her heart twitching. "Master Jayden's fever did go down shortly after taking the medicine the previous time, but I really couldn't find out what's the cause this time." Carson Yo
Simon remembered what Kevin had told him many years ago. He dared not forget even a single word. Simon had been serving Jayden for more than ten years. He was a loyal servant, and he had never dared to have even the slightest delay when it came to his master's affairs. He had always kept one point in mind. From the moment Kevin had put him by Jayden's side, Jayden would become his master and his everything. Before doing anything, he would consider whether it would be beneficial to Jayden, and not himself. "Master Kevin, these were the things that you've told me that time," Simon patted his chest, "I've always placed them in here. I remember them with my heart, and I've never forgotten about it. Not even for a single moment." Kevin was satisfied with Simon's reply. He knew everything about Jayden, and he had never planned to cause any trouble for Simon, so he said, "Tell me everything you've found out recently." Simon was the person whom Kevin had arranged
...... 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
