"Silvia, I heard from Jayden that you like chicken wings. Why don't you try this one and let me know if Lionel and I did a good job?" The person who warmed Silvia up was not anyone else, but Karen Joy, who was as beautiful as an angel. To Silvia, whoever gave her a chicken wing at this very moment would be an angel. However, after what had happened with Kevin Kyle, Silvia did not get excited at that instant. She took a glance at Lionel, and tried to see if he was staring at her like how Kevin did. After confirming that Lionel wasn't looking at her, Silvia grinned and said, "Thanks, Karen Joy!" Karen Joy smiled and said, "Not at all. We're family, aren't we?" "Yeah, but I'll still have to thank you!" Silvia's gaze once again shifted to Lionel. He was looking at Karen Joy affectionately, as if she was his entire world. Silvia thought that all men should love their wives like this. When it was time to be gentle, they must be gentle. When it was time to make t
"Ring..." The abrupt ringtone broke the silence of the night. It was Silvia's phone that was ringing. "Jayden, Levi, you two can continue. I'll have to answer this." Silvia smiled and walked to the side. "Reagan, why are you calling me at this hour?" "Boss, Felix is still alive," Reagan said in an anxious voice. "Okay." Silvia nodded. Reagan did not notice the calmness in Silvia's voice and went on to say, "Boss, Felix is seriously injured now and he has been admitted to the hospital. He's in a coma for two days and he would call your name from time to time. The doctor said that his chances of waking up might increase if you come over to see him." "What? He's injured again?" Silvia was so anxious that her pitch had gone up significantly, attracting both Jayden and Levi's attention. "What's the matter?" Jayden walked up to Silvia and said, "Tell me slowly. Don't get so tensed up." Silvia looked at Jayden and said, "Jayden, Felix is i
"I..." In fact, Silvia did tell Jayden that Felix was still alive. She told Jayden because she knew that the person who hurt Felix was not Jayden. Moreover, Jayden had also promised Silvia that he would not hurt Felix ever again, so Silvia retorted, "Alina, don't speak when you don't have any evidence to prove it." "Evidence? You're actually asking me for evidence?" Alina laughed but began to bawl. She was angry seeing Felix being this silly! He was foolish to the point that he was willing to give up his life for a woman. "He's already lying in there fighting for his life, do you not feel ashamed asking me for evidence?" "Alina, I don't want to dwell on this matter with you anymore." Silvia turned to look at Reagan. "Reagan, can you please ask the doctor if I could see Felix now? I want to talk to him." Reagan said helplessly, "Alina is Felix's only guardian. The doctor will only let you see him under her consent." Silvia once again looked at Alina. Alina gave h
The moment Jayden heard Stanley asking such a stupid question, Jayden really wanted to kick him in the a*s. He had come all the way from Chatterton Town, what else could he be here for? Did he look like he was here for a vacation? However, Stanley could not read minds. He thought that Jayden did not hear his question, so he repeated, "Master Jayden, are you heading home or the company?" Bulging blue veins began to appear on Jayden's forehead. He said in a cold voice, "Go to the hospital now." Stanley suddenly realized what his boss meant, so he replied, "Master Jayden, are you not feeling well? Do you want me to contact Dr. York?" Jayden shouted, "Get lost now!" "Huh?" Stanley said in confusion. Stanley could not figure out why his boss was raging this time. He wondered if he had done something wrong again. Stanley thought of every possibility, such as parking the car at the nearest exit, or keeping the heater on in the car. However, he believe
However, Alina had never forgotten Felix's instructions. If she were to mess everything up now, all their efforts would be in vain. She must not do that! Moreover, she did not have the courage to do that either! Alina tried to calm herself down and said, "Young Master Kyle, since you refused to talk to me, I can only hand over all the evidence I have at hand to the police." "Stanley!" Jayden did not want to listen to any of this disgusting woman's nonsense. He wanted to ask Stanley to take her away, but as soon as he shouted Stanley's name, he realized that he came over to the hospital by himself. Stanley, that idiot, was still braving the cold wind outside of the airport. It was such a rare occasion that Jayden actually needed Stanley, but he was not around. Jayden frowned and strode towards Felix's ward. He did not even bat an eye no matter how loud Alina shouted behind him. "Jayden?" A familiar and melodious voice sounded out of a sudden, halting Jayden
"Someone much more important to you?" The moment Jayden heard that Mrs. Turner was the first person that came into his mind. He had never expected that Silvia would include him, so he was feeling a little bitter about it. "Your mother only has you now. You really have to take good care of her." "Who says that she only had me?" Silvia took Jayden's hand and held it tightly together. "Since you've also recognized her as your mother, you're now her son too. You guys are now each other's family. As long as you don't bully me and treat me nicely, she will dote on you like you are her own." Moreover, Silvia would have her own children in the future. By then, Mrs. Turner would become a grandmother, and she would have a bigger family to take care of her. Her mother would not feel lonely anymore. "Silvia, this is the most beautiful thing I've heard you say ever since I knew you. "After listening to Silvia's words, Jayden thought that if his old illness were to relapse and even
Silvia's sudden confession surprised Jayden, making his mind go blank for quite a few moments. When he finally came to his senses, Silvia had already stood up. "Jayden, Felix hasn't woken up yet. I have to go back to him. I've already promised him that I'll stay by his side until he wakes up." Upon hearing what Silvia had said, Jayden became jealous and his face had darkened. He was her husband, but all Silvia had in her mind was another man. He said, "I've also decided that from today onwards, I'll be by your side no matter what you do." Silvia looked at the change in his face. She felt helpless yet amused. "Jayden, I'm very happy that you came all the way back to Madison City to accompany me, but I still hope that you can return to Chatterton Town immediately. The weather here is too cold for you and if you fall ill too, I won't be able to take care of both of you and Felix at once. Can you bear to see me tire myself out for the two of you?" Jayden did not kno
"I..." Silvia wanted to deny it, but she could not because she did suspect Jayden a while ago. She obviously believed Jayden, but for some reason, she had started to doubt him. Perhaps, Alina's words had really affected her thoughts. "Silvia, do you know that your silence feels like you're stabbing a knife into my heart?" Jayden grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest. "My heart is also made of flesh and blood, it will get hurt too." "Jayden, I, I'm sorry!" Silvia avoided the disappointed look in Jayden's eyes. "No, it's just that I couldn't think of anyone who would hurt Felix and Alina's words came into my mind out of a sudden. I was very confused at that time and began to think if it might be you." Jayden retracted his gaze and did not say another word. He got up and slammed the door as he left. Silvia did not know what to say. Silvia held back the urge to chase after Jayden because knew that she would not know how to explain to him when she c
...... 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
