He knew that this woman could be dense sometimes, but in his fit of anger he still. Now it seemed that the fault was still on him. Silvia did not know what Jayden was thinking. She said worryingly, "If you're sick, you should treat your illness properly. Curing your illness is our top priority, and don't think about anything else! You need to make sure your family doesn't worry about you." Jayden gazed at her. "What about you?" Silvia did not understand what he meant. "Me?" He asked again, "Would you leave me again?" Was she still going to leave him? Silvia shook her head firmly. "No." Jayden was in disbelief and asked, "Really?" "Then are you willing to try to like me?" Silvia observed his expression and continued before he could reply, "I know I have many shortcomings, but I have my own merits too." Jayden had long fallen in love with Silvia. However, this dumb woman did not believe him and insisted that she was just a substitute.
Silvia was about to step back unknowingly. Jayden grabbed her and said, "Silvia, what are you trying to do?" Just now, she had promised him that she would not leave him. She wanted to love him and let him discover her merits... It was because he believed in her; that was why he told her everything. Yet, this woman began to retreat only moments after making her promise. Silvia drew back her hand. "Jayden, I'm sorry! I need some time to calm down!" Jayden growled, "Silvia!" Silvia shook her head and said, "Jayden, I like you. I really want to be with you forever, but when I think of Felix being hurt because of me, I can't forgive myself." Jayden became furious and said, "So what do you want? You want me to get someone to arrange a marriage for him in the afterlife?!" "Felix is still alive! He doesn't need an afterlife marriage. I just hope that he can find the happiness that belongs to him. I hope he will be happier than me. Do you understa
Jayden uttered angrily, "You should dig out your useless eyeballs!" Stanley felt wronged and explained, "Sir, Felix was killed and then buried. I personally witnessed it! I wouldn't be able to fake this! You said that he's alive... Is it because someone saw him? Or did something else happen?" Jayden warned, "Are you doubting me?" Felix was seriously injured at the time. Those involved said that he had died before they dragged him to the wilderness and buried him. It would be impossible if he didn't die under those circumstances. Thus, Stanley asked, "Sir, could it be that you had seen a ghost?" Jayden was flabbergasted to hear such a ridiculous statement. "You should be glad that you're not next to me right now!" He threatened. Stanley fell quiet. It seemed that his boss even had the thought of killing him. Jayden continued saying, "Find out who Silvia has met with recently and what kind of places she has been. You must find out where Felix is
"Good day, ladies. These two sets of clothes you're looking at came to our store recently, and they are both limited edition. Each of them has only one set available." The salesgirl said enthusiastically. "Great, it's limited edition. Lionel will be uniquely dressed up if he wears this." Karen Joy handed the shirt to the salesgirl and said, "I want this. Please pack it up." The salesgirl was delighted to meet such an easygoing customer. Her smile brightened as she said, "Okay. Have a look at the other styles. The clothes on that side are all new arrivals." "Alright, we'll take a look." Karen Joy turned to look at Silvia and ushered, "Silvia, look for another two sets of clothes. If you like, we will buy them. Anyway, my brother said that he will be paying for it, so you don't need to be thrifty." "You two must be sisters," the salesgirl chimed in as she glanced at both Karen Joy and Silvia. They resembled each other and were shopping together. Hence, the salesgi
"Headache?" Silvia sat him up and served him a glass of warm water. She said with a worried face, "Jayden, have a glass of water first. I will call the doctor right away." "You don't have to call the doctor. I can still endure such minor pain." He didn't want her to go when she had just returned. What he wanted to do now was to hold her in his arms and smell her scent. "Endure? Is that what you always do? Do you think you're a master of endurance?" Silvia scolded. She had the strong urge to wake him up by smacking him to let him know that he was sick and that he had to see the doctor, not just endure the pain. "Actually I don't have a headache. It's just that you went out for too long, I just miss you too much." These cheesy words stunned Silvia. She even thought that she was hallucinating. "Why are you just standing there?" Jayden pulled her and said, "Sit down and let me hug you." "Oh..." Silvia sat down in a daze and was taken into his arms. Then she he
It took Silvia a lot of effort to help Jayden change into his new clothes. Looking at the perfectly-dressed man in front of her, she thought that the outfit seemed tailor-made for him! "If a person has good genes and a good figure, they would look good in anything. I don't want to praise you, Jayden, but I have to admit that you are born with a good looking body." Silvia expressed her innermost thoughts. "So you know that the clothes you bought aren't that great, huh? It just looked good because of my own body! At least you know that!" Jayden was actually happy, but he spouted merciless words. "Jayden, I have told you. If you don't like them, I will give them to someone else. If you want them, you'd better shut your mouth." Silvia found him to be really annoying. He obviously liked the clothes, but he simply didn't want to say anything nice to her Jayden glared at her and warned, "Silvia, even if the things you bought are in tatters, they're still mine. There's
Her son and her daughter-in-law were not fighting. Instead, it was her, the mother in law who barged in and caused a scene. Karen was abashed for being hasty, and went on to explain. "It was Levi who told me that you were bullying Silvia, but it seems like that was not the case." Jayden said resignedly, "Mom, how could you let that brat Levi fool you too? Don't you know what kind of person I am?" Karen was so ashamed that she really wished she could just dig a hole and hide herself in it. "I'm sorry. It's my fault for being careless. Just pretend I was never here, okay? You guys can continue with what you were doing just now, I'm going to go and settle some scores with that little brat." "Mom, that brat does need someone to teach him a lesson, but you don't have to bother yourself with it. I'll deal with him instead." Jayden did not feel that there was anything wrong with Karen barging into the room, but he was worried that Silvia would feel embarrassed. L
Levi really wanted to beat Julien up. He was serious about it. He wanted to beat Julien up until his parents could no longer recognize him and he would see if Julien would still dare to be this arrogant. Julien said in a cold voice, "Why are you still here? You're disturbing my reading time." Levi then said, "You little brat, let me tell you the truth. Jayden is not going to bring us out." Julien put away his book and looked at Levi. He was finally willing to look at Levi in the face. "You can't even complete such a simple task. Can you please tell me what else can you do? Do you want me to tell Aunt Mia what you've done?" Levi said provocatively, "If you want to tell her, then go ahead. Let her give me a good beating, that's the worst that could happen to me anyway. I'd rather take that than being led by the nose all the time." Julien raised his eyebrows. "So you've already made up your mind, huh?" Levi said, "Go ahead and make the call if that's wh
...... 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
