Vanessa instinctively hid Lawrie behind her and pretended to be calm. "What a coincidence, Young Master Brown!" As Levi looked at her, he laughed slovenly and said, "Wow, I haven't seen you only for a few days, but why do I feel like you've gotten even more beautiful?" Vanessa replied, "Well, you're getting more handsome yourself too." Levi said, "What's the use of me being handsome? You don't like me anyway." Vanessa smiled awkwardly and said, "Who said that I don't like you. You're so handsome, and you're rich and powerful even. What's there not to like about you? But there are too many girls who like you. I don't dare to compete with them." "I admit that there are quite a few people who like me because I'm too handsome, but there aren't many who can catch my eye." Levi stretched out his long arm and put it on Vanessa's shoulders. "Vaness, if you like me, you can pursue me. I will not hesitate to be your boyfriend." Vanessa dodged Levi's hand and s
Soon, Levi's unruly friends began to comment on his post. One of them said, "Young Master Brown, which hospital are you in? Do you want me to bring some ladies over to keep you company?" Another guy commented, "Young Master Brown, how did you get hurt? Is it serious?" Someone else replied, "Young Master Brown, who got you injured? Just tell me, I'll take care of him for you." There were a whole lot of such comments, but Levi didn't pay much attention to it, until Mia Kyle's comment appeared. "You little brat, your dad has been devoted to me his whole life and he had never dared to think about other women. Where did you learn all these tricks to trick girls? I'm warning you, Levi Brown. If you've already slept with her, then you'd better take responsibility for your actions. If you dare to run off, believe it or not, I'll break your legs." Levi was lying on the clean and white hospital bed. He instructed Vanessa to get his toiletries ready for his shower while he
Lawrie did not believe what Vanessa had said, but seeing the solemn look on her face, he pretended to believe her. He did not want her to worry anymore, but he really wanted to know who on earth was that big bad guy who had been bullying his mother? Lawrie tilted his head and thought about it seriously. However, he was just a three year-old child, there were not many people that he knew. He only knew that the big bad guy would often call his mother on the phone. With that information alone, it was too difficult for him to find out who the big bad guy actually was. Vanessa pinched his cheek and said, "Lawrie, can please stop pouting? Why don't you show me your beautiful smile?" Lawrie curled the corner of his lips and smiled sweetly at Vanessa. "Let's go home, Mommy." Vanessa picked Lawrie up and said, "Okay, let's go." ...... The reason why Levi wanted to get admitted was to make Vanessa stay by his side. Now that she was gone, there was no reason fo
After knowing that Mia had abducted Levi home, Neil was completely stressed out. He wanted to say something but ended up shaking his head helplessly and said, "Mia, this isn't a trifling matter. You should think about it carefully." Mia was in a rage. She could not listen to anything Neil had said to her at all. "What do you mean, Neil? Do you mean that I never think with my brain when I do anything?" Levi looked at Neil expectantly. He was giving him a knowing look, trying to ask him for help, "Dad, save me!" However, Neil did not look at him. All he was paying attention to was his savage wife. "It won't be easy to be in the special forces. It's not something anyone can get through. Are you sure that you want to send Levi there?" Mia asked, "That's why I'm asking if you're willing to send him there." Neil replied, "If you insist on it, I'll have no objections to it. But..." "Stop talking nonsense with me here. Just decide if you're going to do it or
Mia said angrily, "Make yourself clear. When was I going too far?" "You can figure it out yourself." Neil slammed the door and left. He was determined to let this overbearing woman realize how she had been bossing everyone around all these years. Otherwise, she would never reflect on herself. Mia was infuriated. She chased after Neil and shouted, "Neil Brown, if you leave now, you'd better not come back ever again." Neil replied, "You'd better not come begging me then. Let's see if I'll come back." Mia was at a loss for words. Very well. This father and son had joined forces to go against her. They could just wait and see how she would deal with them later. ...... After leaving the house, Neil immediately gave Levi a phone call. "You little brat, where are you now?" Levi said, "Dad, I know Mom very well. Her temper comes and goes easily. She said that she wants to send me to the special forces because she's angry at me. Once she cools dow
Vanessa was on leave, so she planned to sleep in with Lawrie. However, Lawrie had gone to bed early the night before, so he had already woken up. He rolled into Vanessa's arms and nuzzled up against her. "Mommy, do you love me?" Vanessa, "Of course I love you." "I love you too," said Lawrie. Vanessa said, "Lawrie, can you let me sleep for a little while longer?" Lawrie said, "Okay." However, in the next minute, Lawrie once again climbed onto Vanessa's body and held her face as he asked. "Mommy, how much do you love me?" Vanessa really wanted to stuff his mouth, but she must not show any dissatisfaction at him. Otherwise, this sensitive boy would start thinking that she didn't love him again. Sure enough, when he didn't receive Vanessa's reply, Lawrie once again pouted his lips. He said, "Mommy, are you not answering me because you don't love me?" Vanessa shoved him under the blanket and said, "Lawrie, if you disturb me again, I'm not goin
When Levi finally woke up, he was already in a military dormitory. Looking at this shared dormitory, he felt like it was the end of the world. Not only was his phone not with him, but he also did not even have any clothes on. If it weren't for the fact that he did not feel any pain or discomfort, he might even think that someone had defiled him. Grr... His growling stomach was reminding him that he was hungry. Levi touched his hungry belly and shouted with all his might, "Neil Brown, Mia Kyle, how can you guys not show any mercy to your own son at all?" However, it was neither Neil nor Mia who answered him but a bugle call. A man in a military uniform barged into the room and raised his hand to look at the time. "Comrade Levi Brown, your uniform is on your bed. Get dressed immediately and gather at the training field in five minutes." Levi was annoyed to start with, now that he was getting yelled at, he rushed up to the man and asked, "Comrade? Who the f*c
After saying this, Vanessa saw that Julien's expression became extremely dark. He had a fearsome gaze, as if he would swallow her whole at any time. Why was he looking at her so fiercely? Was there something wrong with what she had just said? She was always someone who he would ask for when he had a need and forget about when she's not needed. That simply meant that he was just treating her as a sex partner. Did he actually expect her to treat him as her husband? In the past, Vanessa did wish that he could become her husband. But ever since she had Lawrie, she knew that she had no choice but to hide this thought deep in her heart. Julien looked at her coldly. After staring at her for a long time, he got up and went to the study. At the same time, he said in his cold voice, "It's good that you know." Vanessa hid her sadness and shrugged helplessly. "Have you had dinner?" Vanessa knew that she would not get an answer from him, but as his secret l
...... 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
