"Everyone says that I'm cute, but now I don't want to be cute at all." Larry put on a very distressed face and fixed his eyes on Monique. "Why?" Monique chuckled. Are even children this enigmatic nowadays? She wondered. Larry replied, "Because you can't get a girlfriend when you're cute." Monique grew amused again. "Larry, you already want to have a girlfriend at such a young age?" "Miss, any boy would want a beautiful girlfriend like you." Larry leaned over to Monique's ear. "Miss, look at Uncle Levi. He looks so scary because you're holding me but not him." "Who said that?" Monique glanced at Levi. He really looked like he wanted to eat someone alive; as if her holding Larry would cause anything. Larry added, "Miss, when a man behaves like this, it means that he's jealous." Monique asked, "Little one, what do you know? Who told you that?" "My mother did." "Your mother even told you this?" "Yes, because whenever I pester Mom
"All of you are like this. Once you have partners, you'll forget about us elders." Mia waved her hand. "Sigh, forget about it. I won't be pestering you guys anymore. Goodbye!" Mia always had this kind of personality. She was at fault, but she was stubborn. No matter what, she had to find a way out. Karen Joy understood that, but she didn't expose Mia. "Aunt Mia, it's all our fault. Just go find Uncle Neil quickly." "But..." Watching Mia leave, Larry sneaked a glance at his father, who was standing beside his mother. "Should I be an obedient child that both Mom and Dad will be satisfied with?" Seeing that his father loved him so much, he had better leave his mother alone with his father. He didn't want his father to become like Levi who would usher him away when seen. "Mom, I'm going to find Lawrie. Just accompany Dad, I won't bother you two anymore." Seeing his father's satisfied look, Larry felt that he really was a considerate child. Karen Joy said, "Lar
Lionel's face fell, but he stayed silent. "Lionel, I'm just teasing you. Don't get angry." Karen Joy squeezed to sit beside him and pinched Larry who was in his arms. "I absolutely agree with you. If he didn't have such good genes like yours, how could I have such a cute and sensible baby like him?" She raised her head, her face moving in front of Lionel. "Lionel, don't you think so?" Looking at her beautiful face, Lionel's Adam's apple bobbed and he lowered his head to kiss Karen Joy. Only when Karen Joy ran out of breath that he let go of her. "Your genes are more crucial." Karen Joy felt that this kiss was not enough. She kissed his lips again. "Well, it's because we both have very good genes that we have such a cute child like Larry." Lionel's gaze moved from Karen Joy's face to Larry's body. The little one was only five years old and was very small. Especially when embraced by Lionel who had a tall stature, the little one could hardly be seen. "I real
"Lionel, after Silvia leaves the hospital, why don't we take Larry out on a trip instead of returning to Chatterton Town?" Karen Joy raised her head. "We haven't seen Jackie and Serene for so long. Shall we go visit their family?" "Alright." Previously, when Jackie mentioned Serene, Lionel also had this thought. Now that Karen Joy had brought it up, the timing was just right. It would be nice for the two families to meet each other and catch up. Karen Joy smiled and said, "It's a deal. However, don't tell Jackie and the others first, I want to give them a surprise." "Okay, it's all up to you." Lionel smiled and bowed his head to kiss Karen Joy gently. Right as he kissed her, Larry, who was between them, suddenly stretched his body and said, "Mom and Dad, you can't kiss in front of children." "You little one!" They kissed his cheek at the same time. "What about kisses like these?" Larry was so happy that he squirmed in his parents' arms. "No matter when or
"Whaa—" As if Candy heard her mother's voice, she pouted and cried out, like she was responding to her mother. Silvia was so excited that she lowered her head to kiss Candy's face twice. "Oh Candy, you are so cute. I feel like I want to put you back in my stomach to be one with you again." "Silvia, don't kiss the child like this." Worried that Silvia might lose control, Jayden quickly took Candy away. "The doctor said that there are bacterias in an adult's mouth. It's best if you don't kiss the child like this, or she might have a skin allergy." "I can't even kiss my child I've been carrying for ten months? Say, what do you think of that?" Silvia looked at Jayden sadly. The reason she wanted a child was to kiss and hug one. However, she was not even allowed to give her child a kiss. What a losing bargain. "Give the child back to me." Jayden said, "This child is only a week old and her immune system is too weak. When she grows up a little bit more and becom
"No, I'm just overjoyed seeing Candy so adorable." In order to not dampen her family's mood, Karen tried to suppress the pain in her heart. Karen Joy was not wrong. The bad things had already passed. Dwelling on them would only trouble herself and her family. Wouldn't it be better for her to forget them and just enjoy her time with her family? Nothing brought her more joy than being with her family. ...... After Silvia and her child were discharged from the hospital, the entire family was finally gathered in Madison City's West Side Villa. The usually cold and lifeless house was then packed with family. Not only were the Kyles present, but all of Mrs. Turner and Silvia's friends had also come. Lemur and Reagan had already become fathers but they still were at Silvia's beck and call. Ever since coming to West Side Villa, they followed Silvia closely and called her 'boss' as if it'd be a crime if others didn't know that Silvia was their boss. "Si
"Audrey, I don't think that's the case." Silvia thought for a moment and gave her own opinion. "When we meet, they meet too. But whenever they do, their faces turn cold. I've never heard them talk, it's as if they were stealing each other's wives." Audrey nodded. "That's true." Silvia continued to ask, "What's true?" "Your husband did steal Nordan's woman, so how could he ever like your husband? But, he can't do anything to your husband either. All he can do is glare at him every time we meet." Thinking of this, Audrey felt some joy in her heart. Previously, she deliberately seduced Jayden. Even if Jayden did not fall for her, it was still a gnaw in Nordan's heart. Therefore, every time Nordan saw Jayden, he would remember that his woman once involved herself with him. Based on Nordan's temperament, it would be strange if he could actually tolerate it. Jayden was also bad-tempered. He wouldn't treat one well if he wasn't treated well. This was why every
Upon hearing a childish voice, Nordan and Audrey simultaneously turned their heads and saw two cute little boys with their hands on their waists, looking angry. How adorable! "Who are you guys?" asked Audrey. "Never mind who we are." Larry and Lawrie quickly ran to each stand at Audrey's side. "Auntie, don't be afraid. We'll protect you from this uncle's bullying." "You two..." Seeing such adorable children, Audrey never knew that a child could be so lovely. In her mind, she always viewed children at this age to be loud and chaotic. How could they be so cute? The anger in her subsided, thanks to the little ones. "Well, thank you for protecting me." Nordan said, "Children, this is none of your business. Go away." Larry and Lawrie were somewhat afraid of this tall and fierce man in front of them, but with the gusto of a knight saving a damsel in distress, they mustered up their courage and retorted, "Uncle, as the song goes, a good man will not let his
...... 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
