At this moment, Felix finally understood that he and Silvia could no longer return to the past, and he could no longer listen to her calling his name with her sweet voice. "Speak, Felix. Just tell me, okay?" Silvia's anxious voice once again sounded in Felix's ears, pulling him back to reality. "I'm sorry, Silvia!" Although it was meaningless to apologize to Silvia, this was the only thing Felix could do at this moment. He had never planned to lie to her. Everything he had done was to take revenge on Jayden, and for her to return to his side. However, he had inevitably hurt her along the way. Felix's apology shattered the very last hope Silvia had. At that instant, her legs went weak and she fell straight onto the ground. Fortunately, Jayden managed to hold her up. "Silvia..." Silvia stood still and held onto Jayden's hand. When she looked at Felix again, tears began to flow out of her eyes. "Why, Felix? Why is it you?" She had never thought that her
As soon as they arrived home, a small figure rushed to the side of the car. The boy leaned close to the car window and shook his head, "Jayden, Sister Silvia, you guys are finally back!" It was Levi's tender voice. At that instant, Silvia felt that she was not as sad anymore. She immediately opened the door and got out of the car. "Levi, why are you here?" "I came here because I missed you and Jayden." Levi reached out to hug Silvia, but because he was much shorter than Silvia, he could only hold her waist. "Especially you, Sister Silvia." Silvia rubbed his head as she said, "Thanks for missing me. I missed you too." Levi held Silvia and took a whiff of her body. "You smell so good, Sister Silvia!" Knowing that Levi was trying to make her happy, Silvia could not help but laugh. "Thanks for your compliment, Levi!" Levi said, "I just happened to tell the truth." Jayden also got out of the car. If he were to see Levi hug Silvia like this in the pa
Jayden asked, "Karen Joy, Grandpa is here too?" When Jayden's parents brought him back to Chatterton Town when he was in a coma, his grandfather, Hale Kyle, was away. Even until when Jayden had left for Madison City, Jayden still did not get to meet him. The moment Jayden heard that Hale was here, he was extremely excited. Karen Joy nodded. "Since we're all here, of course Grandpa would come along too." "Mom, you guys chat away. I'll take Silvia to see Grandpa first." After greeting the elders, Jayden then dragged Silvia along to the living room. However, Silvia was not keen to meet Hale at all. She said, "Jayden, let go of me first. Could you please let me prepare myself before meeting your grandfather?" Jayden stopped and looked at Silvia, who was hesitating, "Grandpa loves me very much. Now that you've become my wife, it means that he's your grandfather too. Why do you have to be mentally prepared to meet your own grandpa?" Silvia faltered. "But I
"Don't doubt yourself, Silvia. You are much more important to Jayden than you think." As a mother, Karen knew exactly what Jayden was thinking. "Mom, Silvia's mother is here. You should come over." Silvia wanted to ask Karen about Jayden, but she did not expect Jayden would appear out of a sudden. What an annoying guy, Silvia thought. When Karen heard that Mrs. Turner had arrived, she immediately put everything down and went out to receive her. "Jayden, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm so unprepared now." Karen wanted to leave a good impression on Mrs. Turner. She did not want Mrs. Turner to think that she was an arrogant elder nor did she want Mrs. Turner to worry about handing her daughter over to Jayden. Jayden said, "Mom, Mrs. Turner is a reasonable person." Karen said, "If that is the case, then we should treat her even better. We mustn't make her feel that we have neglected her and we must let her know that we treat Silvia as one of us too."
A year seemed to pass by in the blink of an eye. It was New Year's Eve, a special holiday celebrated with family. Now that the entire Kyle family was here, the West Side Villa had become much livelier than it was before. Silvia had not woken up from her sleep, but Levi was already knocking on her door. "Get up, Sister Silvia. We are going to make breakfast with everyone." "Make breakfast?" Silvia sprang up from the bed. Jayden, who was sleeping beside her last night, was no where to be seen. "Why didn't he wake me up? The rest of the family probably thinks that I'm a lazy person now." Silvia complained inwardly. Levi leaned in and said in a loud voice, "Yeah, we're all helping out in the kitchen now, except you." The Kyle family was rich and powerful, but their lives were not much different from ordinary families. To be more specific, they had paid more attention to traditions than any ordinary families usually would. Every year this time, they would
Although Jayden was adopted, Karen still raised him like he was her own. A few years ago, when Jayden left home, Karen was worried about him. She feared that something bad would happen to him, or that he would keep digging himself into a deep hole. After meeting Jayden three years later, Karen knew that he had completely changed. He had his own career and a woman who he really loved. Now, he had even brought his wife home to introduce her to the family. As a mother, the happiest thing for her was to see her son get married and have a career of his own. "Karen, Silvia is still waiting for you to drink the tea. Are you planning to give her a hard time instead?" Karen was so excited that she had forgotten that Silvia was still standing in front of her with a cup of tea in her hand. Luckily, Mia reminded her. She quickly took over the cup of tea and said, "Silvia, from now on, I'll hand Jayden over to you. Make sure you two live a happy life together, okay?" S
Bang! Bang! Bang! Audrey, who was still asleep, was suddenly woken up by a wave of urgent door-knocking. She was so frightened that she immediately sprang out of the bed. She thought she was dreaming but when she listened carefully, there was indeed someone knocking on her door. It was loud and repetitive, which was somewhat terrifying during the night. It was so cold outside. Who would come to her house in the middle of the night? Audrey grabbed a coat and put it on. She came to the living room and looked through the peephole. When she saw the person standing outside the door, she was so shocked that the coat that was draped over her shoulders had fallen onto the ground. It was Nordan Lawson! It turned out that the person who was banging on her door over and over again was Nordan. Audrey could not believe it. She raised her hand to rub her eyes and once again looked through the peephole. She saw it clearly this time. It wasn't anyone else who was k
Audrey held back her surging emotions and allowed him to do whatever he wanted with her. She did not know how long had passed when Nordan finally stopped. Before Audrey could recover from the tryst, Nordan had already pushed her away. He was pushing her away so hard that her body smashed heavily into the back of the couch, leaving her back in great pain. When he wanted to leave, Audrey instinctively leaned towards him. However, he stood up decisively and tidied up his clothes. Before leaving, he uttered menacingly, "8 p.m. tomorrow night... Make sure you are at Citrus Hall!" Bang! The door was slammed shut. It was so loud that there was even an echo across the room. Although he had left, there was still the scent of lovemaking in the air. However, that man left without a qualm while Audrey curled up on the couch with her body trembling. Looking at how frank he was, Audrey felt that her heart had become empty. It was as if she could no longer find a
...... 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
