Kevin Kyle looked in the direction of Karen's finger but still did not see anything. Finally, he shook his head helplessly. What's wrong with him recently? Even when he saw an ordinary heart-shaped bandaid and heard Karen's childish words, he could only think of Karen Daly. "Dad, I'm hungry. I want to eat strawberries and chocolate." Karen raised her small hand to hold her father's face and said in a sweet voice. Very soon, Little Karen couldn't remember what Big Karen had done for her earlier. She was focused on eating delicious food. "Do you want to eat it now?" Looking at his daughter's blinking big eyes, Kevin Kyle lowered his head and kissed her red face. "Five hundred dollars for a kiss." Little Karen spread out her hands and said softly, "Daddy will need to pay for it." Kevin Kyle said, "But do you want money or strawberry?" Hearing her father's words, she tilted her little head and blinked her beautiful big eyes. She was seriously
The Miwa Fashion Show was world-class. After the event, not only will the models' values soar, but the designers behind the scenes would also receive a lot more attention. Although the possibility of the designers being recognized by the audience was not as high as that of models, their status would be significantly elevated in the industry. Those who could win awards will definitely be the talk of the town. After Asteria won the award, her life didn't change much, as her fashion business was handled by her father. She only needed to draft her designs, so her life was still very comfortable. On the third day after arriving in the Chatterton Town, Samuel Daly received a job posting for Asteria, which was an interview on a TV channel in Chatterton Town. The designers were mostly behind the scenes, and Asteria had never shown up in public in the past few years. When she suddenly heard such news, she rejected it in her heart. However, when she saw her father's expec
If there was hope, there would also be countless disappointments. This time, Kevin Kyle did not immediately take action. Instead, he quietly watched the woman, who looked similar to Karen Daly, walking farther and farther away. Just as she turned around and disappeared from his sight, Kevin Kyle couldn't care less about anything else, he stepped out of the crowd and rushed out. Regardless if that was Karen Daly or not, he still needed to be sure. He would rather be disappointed again than let go of any chance to find her. Kevin Kyle ran away all of a sudden, and the others followed behind. "President Kevin—" It was Nick Black who called him. After this job appointment, there was an important meeting waiting for him. "Don't come with me," Kevin Kyle said without looking back. As soon as he spoke, Nick Black stopped the group of people. He looked at Amelia Gray and could not do much. Kevin Kyle's legs were long, and he walked ve
The rapidly descending elevator suddenly stuck and did not continue to descend. The screams in the elevator also stopped instantly, but Karen Daly's fists did not stop. She seemed to be greatly frightened and regarded the person who held her as a fierce beast. Kevin Kyle hugged her tightly and kept comforting her. "Karen, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm here. It's okay, it's okay. I won't let anything happen to you again. Not anymore—" Three years ago, he had lost her, and he had always regretted it. Now that he met her again, no matter how much he had to pay, he would never let her get hurt again. No one could hurt her again. Kevin Kyle held Karen Daly tightly and ordered, "Who has a mobile phone? Please dial for emergency outside." Hearing his steady voice, the people trapped in the elevator seemed to calm down. No one made any noise. Some took out their mobile phones to light up the dark space, and some called for help. While in Kevin
Kevin Kyle hoped that she could say a few more words. He had a lot of things to say to her. He wanted to know how she had lived in the past three years. He wanted to tell her that Little Karen was already three years old. She is cute, sensible, but sometimes she's a headache. But he couldn't say that to her right now. Or, he didn't know what to say. His wife, his Karen Daly, she could no longer remember their past. "Asteria?" Kevin Kyle repeated her name several times and said with a smile, "Asteria sounds very interesting. She's the Goddess of the Star Night in Greek mythology. Presumably, your real name should be nice too." Suddenly, she heard someone ask for her real name again, and Asteria could not help but felt a little embarrassed. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Two years ago, I was seriously ill and forgot everything about the past. My father didn't tell me my real name, but he called me Karen." Karen. The tip of her ton
In the night of Chatterton Town, lights were shining brightly. It was called the City of No Sleep for a reason. Kevin Kyle stood at the balcony and looked at the lights from the thousands of houses outside. He smoked one cigarette after another and didn't stop. Although he had never smoked in front of Karen Daly, he had secretly stopped smoking after learning that Karen Daly was pregnant previously. Similarly, three years ago, because Karen Daly suddenly disappeared from his side, he began to be obsessed with the smell of tobacco again. It seemed that he used this method to numb his nerves, but he would never smoke in front of Little Karen. Tonight, he had already smoked nearly a whole pack of cigarettes, but he still couldn't suppress the uneasiness in his heart. He and Karen Daly were in the same city. She was close at hand, but they seemed to be thousands of miles away from each other, making it impossible for him to reach her. "President Kevin, t
Kevin Kyle stared at Little Karen's red face for a long time. He couldn't help but reach out and touch it. "Wake up little pig!" "Dad, no..." Suddenly, she turned over and stuck her small body into Kevin Kyle's arms like glue. She pursed her lips, closed her eyes and fell asleep. Kevin Kyle pinched her little face again and said softly, "Little pig, you won't get strawberries today if you get up late." Little Karen suddenly opened her eyes and pursed her lips. She looked as if she was about to cry. "Dad, you're not nice to me..." "Daddy is not nice, but if my Little Karen is good girl, you will have strawberries and chocolate today," Kevin said. Looking at his daughter's pitiful appearance, Kevin Kyle lowered his head and kissed her. "I'll wake up now!" Little Karen said, then she opened her arms to ask for her father's hug. "Okay, daddy will carry you. My little Karen is really cute!" Kevin Kyle said as he hugged her. He lowered his head and patted
"President Kevin, we have already found out. Asteria has been hired by the international bridal brand, PM Corporation, with a high salary, to be the chief designer here." Kevin Kyle's car had just arrived at Rovio Building, and Amelia Gray, who had been waiting for a long time, came forward to report the situation. "Okay." Kevin Kyle nodded and said, "Arrange to purchase this company right away. The sooner, the better." "Director Kevin, this..." "What's the problem?" Kevin Kyle raised his eyebrows, glanced at Amelia Gray, and said, "Let Rovio's best corporate finance team handle this matter. I want to hear good news in three days." "Yes." Amelia Gray did not dare to raise any objection. She had watched Kevin Kyle and Karen Daly's story since they were together. Later, Karen Daly had "died", and she saw how Kevin Kyle had lived in the past three years with her own eyes. Karen Daly's position in Kevin Kyle's heart had already surpassed what they
...... 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
