"Hey, stay away from me". She reeked of liquor and sweat, and he wrinkled his nose in disgust. His eyes fleeted over the crowd and he caught sight of a woman standing quietly in the corner. He urged, "Baby, come over and talk to me." "Young Master Brown, I miss you so much. I miss you every single day. Without you, I don't even know what I can do." Tears trickled down her cheeks as the woman moaned. Levi's heart went out to her. "Oh, my baby, don't cry. You are making my heart ached." He almost leapt with joy upon finding a beautiful woman who made his heart skip a beat. He wrapped his arms around her and patted her back gently. "Baby, don't cry, don't cry. I'll come to see you every day after I have recovered." Finally, he could get her out of his head. However, to his chagrin, when he glanced at the woman in his arms, he saw Monique's face. She looked up at him and smiled in an eerie way as if she was challenging him to admit his feelings for her, that she would de
As soon as he heard her name, Levi's anger spiked. "Julien, you have gone against me ever since you were a child. You said that on purpose to irk me, didn't you?" Julien chortled and replied, "Well, I will not mention her name in front of you in the future. Will that be all right for you?" Levi retorted, "You better keep your words." That scoundrel! Julien knew perfectly well that Monique was driving Levi nuts. Julien then added, "Alright, just wait for a moment. Those pretty ladies are coming to accompany you very soon!" ...... Not long after, a striking woman appeared in Levi's ward. She was extremely gorgeous. At first glance, she took his breath away. Once he set eyes on her, he chided himself for thinking that his girlfriends were pretty previously. They were nothing compared to the gorgeous lady standing in front of him at present. Her beauty was out of this world. Levi's heart skipped a beat upon seeing her, and
Her words rang true. Levi knew that his father really enjoyed his mother's company. However, the thought that he would have the same fate as Neil one day frightened him. In other words, Levi was still unsure about his feelings towards Monique. "Young Master Brown, I have already done my best. Only you can decide what path you want to take. Nobody can help you with this matter." Marilyn finished her sentence and left before Levi could make a response. "Why is falling in love so troublesome?!" Levi sighed in annoyance." He used to hang out with lots of beautiful women and regarded them as his girlfriends. Whenever he was in high spirits, he would ask them out and whenever he was upset, they would accompany him. Life was much easier back then. When he needed them, they would appear. Nevertheless, they've never interfered with his personal life. Life was peaceful until he met Monique. He kept thinking of her no matter what he did and he was no longer interested in othe
Although Vanessa was a little afraid of him when it came to 'bedtime activities', she actually bashfully anticipated it. Julien used to restrain his sexual desire, but ever since they were married, he no longer held back his desire every night. He was like a ravenous wolf finally feasting on his prey! "Alas, I should stop thinking about it or I wouldn't be able to pay attention to my work anymore!" Vanessa thought. However, Julien seemed to see right through her. He teased, "Honey, be a good girl and do your job. I will be nice to you tonight." D*mn it, was this still the Mr. Kyle she knew? He sounded like a rogue! Vanessa didn't dare to go against him and left the office hurriedly. ...... Once Vanessa left, Julien sent Marilyn the address for the dinner he wanted to treat her. He then picked up his phone and made a call to Karen Joy. "Karen Joy, Marilyn has come to Chatterton Town. We'll be eating out tonight to celebrate her
Larry and Lawrie dashed over, eager to sit beside Marilyn. Marilyn was flattered as the two little boys showered her with praises. They even called her a gorgeous lady! Karen Joy pretended to be hurt and said sullenly, "Larry, Aunt Marie is a gorgeous lady to you, but what about me?" Larry giggled and replied, "Aunt Marie is single while you have my dad. He will protect you. I will protect Aunt Marie in the meantime." Marilyn was amused. She exclaimed, "Wow, Larry and Lawrie are two little gentlemen! I like you guys very much. I will stay in Chatterton Town for some time. How about you guys be my tour guides these few days and show me around? What do you say?" Lawrie held her arm and gave her a peck on the cheek. He seemed to admire Marilyn a lot. "I like Aunt Marie very much. You are so beautiful. I will be your tour guide." Vanessa was a little jealous and said sourly, "Lawrie, you can't even find your way home but you want to be a tour guide for Au
"Karen Joy, do you think that it's possible to determine whether a man will cheat on his wife from his looks?" Julien did not wish to give his opinion before he knew the truth. However, seeing that Karen Joy was flustered, Julien sighed and said, "He left a deep first impression on me back then. He seemed like an ambitious man." "Yes, I also think that he is a very ambitious person, It's written all over his face." Karen Joy nodded in agreement and voiced her opinion. "When I first met him, he seemed pretty aggressive and I didn't really like him. However, after I got to know him, I was quite impressed as he knew what he wanted. To be frank, it made him very charming." Julien added, "I also feel that he is hiding something. Something that cannot be revealed to others. I bet he hid it even from Marilyn. In a nutshell, he's a mysterious man." "I also had the same feeling. I always feel that he is hiding something, but I can't figure it out... Marie was head over heels
Darkness had fallen by the time Monique reached home. She paid no heed to her family and went straight to her room. "Mom, Monique doesn't seem to be in a good mood these two days. Let me talk to her." Vivian was concerned about Monique as she seemed to be down in the dumps lately and followed her into the room. "Monique, your friend is gone from this world, and he won't come back no matter how long you grieve. Don't be so distressed." Vivian thought that Monique was still mourning the death of Ronald and hugged her. To her surprise, Monique sighed softly, "Vivian, I have gotten over his death. Don't worry about me. I'm fine." "Are you sure? If that's the case, why are you in this state?" Vivian believed that Monique had truly accepted Ronald's fate. However, deep sorrow seemed to shroud Monique still. "What's wrong?" "Vivian..." Monique raised her head and stared at her. 'Can you tell me how it is like to like someone?" she asked in a broken voice.
How would she feel if she gave up now? How distressing would it be? To be honest, Monique wasn't sure either. Perhaps she would just feel empty inwardly... Monique didn't respond, but Vivian already knew the answer. "Monique, give up on him while you still can. It's better to feel down now than to be in agony in the future. From now onwards, pay no heed to him. No matter what he does, disregard him." Monique said gloomily, "He wished more than ever to keep his distance. There's no way he would talk to me." Vivian asked, "What do you mean?" Monique frowned. "He told me clearly that I was not his type. He warned me more than once not to fall for him. To make matters worse, he did not even accept the flowers I bought for him when I visited him at the hospital." "Monique, why are you so silly? Don't tell me you developed feelings for an uninterested man?" Vivian poked her head in frustration. "Monique, I'm warning you. A woman should never fall for som
...... 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
