The cold wind caressed Nordan's face, causing him to jolt. In that instant, something flashed across his mind and the previously confuddling matter instantly became clear to him. Jayden's words were not wrong at all. When two people were together, the most important thing was 'trust', the very thing that Nordan and Audrey lacked. In the past, he and Audrey had been separated for a long time because they didn't trust each other. Every time he looked back on it, he would regret it. At present, the two of them were together. Although Audrey had said that she'd be his only woman, he just could not believe her. He could not believe that she would stay by his side sincerely. Was it that she wasn't sincere? Or was it that he was too wary? If he let down his guard, would he discover Audrey's sincerity towards him? Nevertheless, he shouldn't let this situation continue. He didn't want to go through the pain and hurt of being separated from Audrey ever a
From Monique's point of view, a wealthy family would be like what was on television. Parents and children; brothers and sisters, would forget their bloodlines for wealth and choose to go at each other's throats instead. However, the Kyle family that she had been with these days was completely different from the wealthy family she had initially visualized. They were a happy family and the fathers were loving. No matter how one looked at them, they were all so lovely. Monique could not believe that what she had experienced in the past few days was real. The family was so beautiful that she wanted to be part of them too. Monique looked at Larry and Lawrie who were running on the lawn, then looked back at Levi. She asked the questions that she had been keeping in for the last two days, "Levi, can you tell me if I'm dreaming, or are you all acting?" Levi's gaze had always been on her. When she had finally managed to shift her gaze from the children to him, she had as
There were some things that Mia understood, but she still could not help but worry. After all, Levi did have a lot of past lovers. What should he do if he messed up one day? Thus, in order to prevent unfortunate things from happening, she had no choice but to take action personally and watch out for any warning signs first. This way, she could stop Levi in time in case anything happened. "Mom, please trust me this one time. I'll show you through my actions that I, Levi Brown, can love someone properly and want to hold her hand until old age." He had been Mia's son for more than twenty years, but he had never been this serious before. Obviously, Mia understood his words. She patted him on the shoulder and said with relief, "Son, you have really grown up and become sensible. From today on, you should date her happily. I won't stalk or eavesdrop on you two ever again." Even after being reassured by Mia, he still couldn't believe her. "Mom, do you really mean it thi
"What do you mean I've ruined you in this life?" Mia's temper had always short, but because of Neil's words at this instant, she was on the brink of exploding on the spot. "Neil, if you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'll give you hell." "You had already trapped me when I didn't even know if I wanted a family. Doesn't that mean that you have already ruined me?" "Neil, what are you talking about? If you continue blabbering on, I'll—" Just as Mia was about to fly into a rage, she heard Neil say, "But I like quite this 'ruined' life you've given me. If it weren't for you, my life wouldn't be complete." "Neil, what do you mean?" Rather than speaking clearly, he was choosing to aggravate her instead. Was he satisfied? Neil sighed. "Mia, what's wrong with you lately? You used to be so confident, but why have you been overly concerned about your gains and losses recently?" "I don't know the reason either... Just don't provoke me when I'm in a bad mood." A
They only knew the name and country of the criminals, nothing else. What Levi and Monique needed to do at this moment was to infiltrate the country where the terrorists were. With no extra help, they need to find the two terrorists and bring them back to face the deserved punishment. If it was just two terrorists, Levi and Monique were fully capable of dealing with them. However, everything they were about to face was still unknown. They didn't know how many supporters there were behind the terrorists, and they didn't know how many of them were there. Once they took a wrong step forward, they would face the possibility of dying. Before leaving, their commander, Jasper, was also afraid that they would face accidents and said, "Levi and Monique, we are currently in a tense situation with that country. It is impossible for their government to help us find more accomplices. This operation fully relies on the cooperation between you two. All emergencies have to be solved b
Monique found Levi's bossy demeanor to be both infuriating and funny. "You're being too bossy. You interrupted me before I could finish my sentence." Levi said nervously, "When I say there cannot be any 'buts', there really cannot be any 'buts'." "But, we're soldiers. If we want to get married, we have to report to our superiors. Only when the superiors agree then can we register for marriage. It's not that we can just register at the City Hall." Looking at him being nervous, Monique felt a surge of warmth in her heart and couldn't help but smile. She managed to tamp down the little fear that had just grown in her heart. "What if you go ask the superiors whether they agree to us marrying?" "Are you daft? How could such a small thing bother me?" Levi poked her head and domineeringly hugged her. "As long as you nod your head and consent to it, I'll report to the superiors about our marriage when we return to Chatterton Town after we successfully complete this mission."
After arriving in Xanduvia City, Levi and Monique went around to gauge their surroundings and decided to rent an apartment in the busy part of the city. They were to rent the place for three months and they planned to find clues in those three months to catch the two suspects. The apartment they had rented was small, about sixty meters square, with one room and one living room, as well as a kitchen and a bathroom. Therefore, the rooms and the living room were not wide and even felt a little crowded. However, they didn't complain. After all, if they could live in the military region's hostel, then a sixty-meter-square house for the two of them was more than enough. However, the situation at the moment was different. At the military region's hostel, the men lived together, while the women lived together. Currently, Levi and Monique were a man and a woman, and they even were a couple. As long as they stayed in the same room, the atmosphere would become sexually charged in an i
Levi was very determined in his stance to not let Monique cook, but that stance instantly disappeared once Monique was also firm in her position. Currently, Monique was studying the recipes while Levi was reluctantly washing the vegetables in the kitchen. While washing, he nagged, "Monique, if you don't know how to cook, then just don't. Let's go out to eat or order takeaway to save trouble. Why do we have to torture ourselves like this?" "Because I want to!" Monique replied, then went back to bury herself in studying the recipes she held. She usually watched her mother and Vivian's cooking, which looked simple enough. However, when it came to her to cook herself, it was even harder than going onto a battlefield for her. "Because you want to?" Just because she wanted to, then why did he have to suffer with her? Was it because he was her boyfriend? In the past, he worried about finding a girlfriend as unreasonable as Mia. He didn't expect that Monique would
...... 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
