Did Adrienne enjoy it? Was she sated? Although Adrienne had drunk a lot of wine the night before and was not sober, she was not drunk enough to have forgotten it all. As for the experience of the previous night... It felt quite good. It was painful, but the pain mingled a carefree feeling that Adrienne had never experienced before. However, Adrienne said, "I was drunk last night. I don't remember anything." She lied! After the lie fell from her lips, Adrienne's face started to burn. She felt so guilty that she didn't dare to look straight at Jefferson. "Look at me!" Jefferson said in his usual overbearing tone, giving Adrienne no room for refusal. Adrienne gave Jefferson a sideways glance and quickly looked away. Her gaze flitted from the ceiling to the floor and then to the walls, but it did not dare to meet his eyes. As she guessed, she had really left some scratches on Jefferson's chest, too. She really was a filthy beast!
That day, Freya appeared to be the same as usual. Freya smiled gently as she spoke to Adrienne. However, no matter how well she was trying to hide it, Adrienne could still feel the sadness in her eyes. Freya had asked for a divorce so decisively because she really loved Freddy. Her love for him ran deep, so she couldn't tolerate anything that marred their relationship. What was more, a pregnant woman had appeared at their door seeking for Freddy to take responsibility for her pregnancy. That was a blatant insult toward her. The strong facade that Freya was putting on made Adrienne's heart twist in pain. Adrienne grabbed Freya's hand tightly and said, "Freya, we all know that you and Freddy love each other. The way your love blossomed was just like a fairytale, and the subject of so many people's envy. I want both you and Freddy to be happy. Could you please give yourself, as well as Freddy, some time to calm down and think this over?" "Happy?" Freya sneered. "Ad
Alcohol was indeed a harmful substance, but it was definitely not an excuse for one's mistakes. Adrienne swore in her heart to not consume any more alcohol in the future. She definitely did not want to let alcohol ruin her life. If she woke up to an unfamiliar man the next day after drinking, Jefferson would definitely skin her alive. At that thought, she shivered with fear... She glanced at Jefferson secretly. Fortunately, he wasn't looking at her at the moment. The issue with Freddy was grave. There was no way to explain it all clearly. Jefferson said that Freddy might not have done anything wrong to Freya, but it was still a fact that Freddy had woken up to a naked woman beside him. A naked man and woman waking up in the same bed. The situation was clear-cut. Even a fool would not believe it if Freddy were to say that nothing had happened between them the night before. Adrienne quickly applied her medical knowledge. "Generally speaking, when men a
Adrienne was stunned at first, but when she realized that Jefferson was kissing her at the entrance of the Civil Bureau where there were a lot of passers-by, she pushed him with force. However, as if Jefferson's arms were made of steel, she couldn't even make him budge. Not only was she not able to push Jefferson away, he even started to kiss her more intensely, to the point that Adrienne felt her tongue had gone borderline numb. After who knew how long, Jefferson finally let go of Adrienne. She covered her mouth and stared at him, a blush on her face. "Mr. Hefner, how can you be this shameless?" Smiling contentedly, Jefferson asked, "And how is kissing my wife a shameless thing?" Adrienne was speechless. She didn't want to argue with him, because she would always be on the losing end. In the past, someone told her that when a couple were in a relationship, the one who liked the other more would surely be at a disadvantage. Looking at their rel
After paying for the skin care products, Freya went to look at bags of famous brands. Cheery as Adrienne might look on the surface, she was actually cursing Jefferson in her heart. If it weren't for the fact that she'd slept with him, she wouldn't be that poor. Right then, she even had to mull over for a long time if she wanted to purchase a branded bag. In the past, Freya would only buy branded bags when she was abroad as she could save thousands of dollars from just that. However, she bought three bags in a single shot that day, and the amount of money she had lavished on them was enough for a person to travel abroad. Now that Freya had bought a lot of things, Adrienne chose to join in the fun and get one for herself, too. She had her eyes on a mini cross-body bag that could barely fit anything else other than her phone and wallet. However, it would still cost her nearly 3,000 dollars. Seeing that she had to spend another big sum of money, Adrienne knew that s
Eunice had always known that Jefferson bore no tolerance towards women other than Adrienne. Not to mention getting intimate with him, even speaking a few words would elicit a glare from him. She was the best example. However, even so, it didn't matter. They were still young, and there was still a long road ahead of them. No one would know who would be having the last laugh. ...... After leaving the dessert shop, Adrienne and the others went to the third floor to shop for some clothes. Not caring for what shop it was, Freya went into each and every one and would buy anything which caught her eyes. Before that, Adrienne had joined in the spree because she did not want to ruin Freya's mood. Right then, Eunice was with them too, swept up in a shopaholic mood. However, it wasn't because Eunice didn't want to ruin Freya's mood. She was competing with her. Anyone with a pair of eyes could see that what Eunice bought didn't suit her at all, and
"Jefferson, I..." Eunice trembled under Jefferson's fierce gaze. She wanted to say something, but was once again interrupted by him. "Eunice, since you have forgotten, I will do you the courtesy of jogging your memory." Feeling uneasy, Eunice wanted to reach out for Jefferson's arm. But before she could even touch the hem of his clothes, he stepped back and avoided her. He said in a colder and sterner voice, "Get away from me, and don't show up in front of me ever again." "Why? Jefferson, what did I do?" Eunice blinked, and tears started to roll down from the corners of her eyes, painting her into a picture of pity. "We are friends who grew up together. You didn't even ask who was the one at fault, but you're already yelling at me. Why are you doing this to me?" "Eunice, you should be clearer than anyone else of what you've done. Sure, we're friends who grew up together, but no one can stand you trampling on them over and over again." Freya knew that once Jefferson to
Even though Jefferson had thought of a hundred ways to beat Adrienne up, those thoughts crumbled down when Adrienne turned around and hugged him right after they had sent Freya home. Adrienne threw herself into his embrace and wrapped both her arms around his waist. She nuzzled her head against his chest continuously, and said in a soft voice, "Jeff, I'm exhausted. Let me hug you, okay?" Could Jefferson reject her? Not only had Jefferson's anger dissipated, he also wished to immediately caress his Little Specky with love. "Since you're tired, let's go home now." Adrienne mumbled, "But I can't even move a single inch." Jefferson didn't say anything but immediately picked Adrienne up by the waist and strode to the parking lot. After doing it the whole night before and again that morning, Adrienne went to the Civil Bureau and even kept Freya company at the shopping mall for a few hours. How could she not be tired? If it weren't for her being worri
...... 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
