"You're really good with your words." "Not just words, my mouth is good with other things too." Levi pulled her into his embrace, lowered his head and kissed her, only letting go of her when her breathing turned ragged. "That, is the most important role my mouth plays." Monique replied, "Next time..." Thump-thump! Suddenly there was a knock on the door, interrupting Monique's words. The waiter pushed the door open and came in. "Young Master Brown, the dishes are ready. We will serve them now." "Okay." Levi cast an annoyed glance at the waiter, but he still nodded. "Hurry up. Get out of here after serving the food. If I don't call for you, don't come in. You're spoiling our mood!" "Very well, I wish you both a wonderful night." The waiter understood. After all, it was a restaurant where couples dined. It wasn't unusual for couples to be getting intimate while they were having their meal. The waiters quickly served the dishes and left. Afte
At exactly half an hour later, Levi returned to the hospital. Pushing open the door of the ward, he first saw Julien sitting on the sofa in the room. He had his legs crossed elegantly and was poring over a document in his hand, looking very serious. Levi strode up to him in a few steps and flopped down next to him. "Julien, I got here on time. Do I get a reward?" Julien slowly set down the document in his hands and looked up, his gaze trailing Levi up and down. Then he said indifferently, "You are willing to give your life up for a woman. Young Master Brown, I never knew you to be such a sucker for love." With a hint of dissatisfaction, Levi said, "Did you think you were the only man who could love a woman wholeheartedly?" Julien couldn't be bothered to argue with him, so he said, "Ask the doctor to come over and check on you." Levi patted his chest, as if he couldn't wait to take off his clothes and show Julien. "I know you care about me, but I'm re
"Levi, why can't you take after your father? He commanded the Chatterton Town army at such a young age, and he holds such great power, but he has always been loyal to one woman. He has never had feelings for anyone else. Take a good look at yourself, you switch girlfriends at a terrifying speed. If you go on like this, I might as well disown you." After Levi had mentioned that he was in love, it had conjured in Mia his messy past with all his ex-girlfriends. But then, he had no one to blame for Mia's misunderstanding. After all, it was true that he had been like that in the past. He once again said seriously, "Mrs. Brown, I'm not joking with you. I'm serious this time around." "Really?" Mia couldn't believe he was being serious. "Levi, previously when you got a girlfriend, you would always profess to me about how serious you were. But then two days later, you would get a new woman. Yet again, you would say you were being serious." "Mom..." It was true. He had sa
As everyone's gaze burned into her, Silvia felt rather shy. She enumerated, "Mom, Aunt Mia, Karen Joy, and our two little boys, can you guys stop staring at me like I'm an animal in a zoo?" Before the adults could answer, Larry and Lawrie spoke up first, "Aunt Silvia, we are looking at our little baby cousin." "I'm sure she's very happy to have two brothers looking after her." Hearing what they had said, Silvia realized that her baby was lying beside her. She was so tiny that Silvia felt like she could hold her with her two palms. As a first time mother, Silvia's heart melted at the sight of her child. She really wanted to kiss the cute little baby, but she was afraid, lest even the slightest touch would hurt her. As she endured it, her eyes couldn't tear away from the little one. Larry tilted his little head, his brows furrowed. He asked curiously, "Aunt Silvia, why is she all wrinkly?" Beside him, Lawrie nodded with all his might, an adorable picture he
"Uncle Jayden, do you find us annoying?" Larry was young, but he was smart. Usually, when Lionel was annoyed with him, he would question if Larry had raised any trouble at school. But he was such a good boy, how could he get into trouble at school? It was obvious that his parents were annoyed at him third-wheeling. He snorted inwardly! As expected, adults were all the same. Usually, when they were happy and wanted to be alone, they would get annoyed and treat the children like they were in their way. "Larry, Lawrie, if you want to accompany your aunt and the baby, by all means, do so. Pretend I didn't say anything." The little ones were like tricksters. No matter how much Jayden wanted to chase them away, he couldn't. He could only glance helplessly at Silvia. Silvia held his hand and said with a smile, "Daddy, do you want to rest for a while?" Jayden glared at her and said, "How can I leave you and our daughter alone and rest by myself?" Silvi
Perhaps that was not the case, but it was so to Jayden. His wife was beautiful, so naturally his daughter would be too. The kind of distinctive beauty that no other women could compare to. Jayden said, "No matter whom our daughter resembles, there is no doubt that she'll be good-looking." Silvia had never thought that she would hear such boastful words from a reserved person such as Jayden himself. She smiled and said, "You, praising your daughter like this, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" "I'm telling the truth. Whoever has the gut to laugh at me, I'll pull his teeth out." Jayden was staring at the baby. She appeared rather crumpled up, but in his eyes, she was no less than a fairy. "Silvia, look at her eyelashes. They're very long, just like yours." Silvia chuckled and said, "Was that a roundabout way of giving me a compliment?" "Have I never praised you for being good looking before?" said Jayden. Pensively, Silvia thought before sh
The little baby girl didn't lack anything, but her arrival had bestowed unbridled joy to the entire family. Everyone was busy thinking about how to lavish her with their love. In addition to the two little boys who were enveloped in sheer excitement, Karen was also feeling the same way. Last night, Karen had hardly slept. Her brain had been rattling with ideas. She wished she could buy all the best things in the world for the precious new addition to their family. Of course, since she had not slept well, Kevin had suffered the same. Seeing that she was so excited, Kevin hugged her and said, "Karen, where is your usual calmness? Is our new family member making you that giddy?" At the time, Karen's focus was entirely on the baby, so she hadn't noticed Kevin's darkened expression, from jealousy. "Kevin, it's our son, Jayden's child. And now... Jayden has a loving wife and daughter, a family of his own. How could I not be excited?" "Jayden has his own f
When he dialed it for the second time, a cold automated voice came from the cell phone receiver. "Sorry! The number that you have dialed has been turned off, please call again in a while!" Levi was exasperated to the point of tears. He had finally received the call from Monique that he had been waiting for two days. However, he had scolded Monique so much that she turned off the phone to ignore him. He really wanted to ask the heavens, what sins had he committed in his past life to deserve such treatment... He fell in love with such a stubborn, bad-tempered and aggressive woman. The most important thing was that this woman was particularly narrow-minded. He just accidentally scolded her, thinking that she was someone else, but she decided to switch her phone off to ignore him. "Brat, everyone is basking in the sun in the garden, but why are you hiding here alone?" When Mia came over, she noticed that the expression on Levi's face was not quite right. She i
...... 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
