Lying on the large and soft bed, Karen Daly didn't feel sleepy at all. Thinking of what Mia Kyle said to her, and thinking of Mia Kyle's sad expression as she spoke, even a cheerful and optimistic person like Mia could not help but shed tears when she talked about Kevin Kyle's past. Karen Daly could not help but be curious. Kevin Kyle obviously loved his wife so much, so why did his wife leave him and their child behind? Of course, Karen Daly was just curious. She never had any improper thoughts of Kevin Kyle. She promised Little Karen to come to the Kyle Mansion only because of her love for Little Karen. Thinking of Little Karen, Karen Daly was a little worried. Such a little child sleeping alone in the master bedroom with no one by her side. What if she kicks the quilt away and gets cold? What if she falls down from the bed after rolling a few times? Thinking about it, Karen Daly sighed helplessly. She was not a mother, but already had a moth
Karen looked at Kevin. His inky eyes were so deep and full of emotions that attracted her curiosity. Was there something deep inside? At the end of the darkness? Although the light in the room was not very bright, she was sure that his eyes were full of affection. She saw the affection that should have belonged to another woman, and it felt very wrong! Why would he stare at her in this way? Did he make some mistakes? Perhaps he misunderstood her purpose? Kevin wanted to look away, but he couldn't move his eyes at all. His eyes were fixed on her face noticing every single slight change of her expression. Seeing her stunned for a few seconds, he frowned and looked away quickly. "Mr. Kyle, you are finally back. I was just taking care of Little Karen. She just..." She stuttered in a panic, and she was embarrassed. The man of the house had returned, but she was sleeping on his bed. How embarrassing it was for her. Kevin couldn't catch wh
However, before she could take a breath, Kevin held her into his arms again, as if he wanted to embed her into his body. "Karen Daly, I won't let you leave me anymore." He said it softly, like a murmur, or more like something which had been rehearsed for hundred times, from the bottom of his heart. Abruptly, she stopped struggling. In a trance, she seemed to understand why he was out of control. After a long time, she sighed softly and then whispered, "Mr. Kyle, is your wife... also named Karen Daly?" Kevin seemed to have known her from a long time ago. The way he looked at her was very different from the first time they met, but it was only until now that she realized it. Perhaps it was because she had the same name as his wife, and her figure was somewhat similar, that he mistook her as his wife. Even Little Karen would rely on her so much, it was probably because of this too. With such an explanation, all the unreasonable things could be explained
"What do I want to do?" Mia Kyle looked at Zander Yew's trembling legs with disdain in her eyes. "I didn't mind kissing you but what are you doing now? I've seen so many good-looking men but none of them was as unappreciative as you." No one could be comparable to her cold brother or Neil Brown. Zander Yew had starred in a film with her previously, and she had taken advantage of him to test whether the scumbag Neil Brown would get jealous. She didn't expect the news to be suppressed by cold brother so quickly. The news didn't reach Neil Brown, on the contrary, Zander Yew was so self-absorbed to think that she was into him. Sh*t! Polaris swore in her heart. This Zander Yew was frightened just by a prop sword and almost peed his pants! She wouldn't even spare any attention for this kind of guy. She liked the manly type of guy, just like how Neil Brown was. Even if he was pointed at with dozens of guns, he wouldn't even frown a little. The more Mia Kyle
"Polaris, it's better to get a stunt double for such a dangerous scene." Jacky Ball, who had always been by her side, suggested worriedly, but Mia Kyle didn't take it seriously. He tried convincing Mia Kyle heaps of times to use a stunt double but Mia Kyle wouldn't listen to him. She always had a theory, where everyone was equal and also loved, how could she be the one who earned the money while someone else bears the risks? Jacky Ball was so worried that he would break out in a cold sweat every time he watched Mia Kyle rigged for a stunt. The Kyle family was so rich that Mia Kyle's annual pocket money could be someone else's entire life expenditure. No one knew why she worked so hard. Looking at the wire rise in the air, Jacky Ball felt nervous, he had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. Hearing every creak of the wire, Jacky Ball's worry got more intense. Mia Kyle had never left his sight. At that sudden moment, the wire broke. Jacky
Neil's voice was very calm. His meticulous care for Mia could no longer be seen. He used to be even more nervous than she was, whenever she fell and hurt herself. One day she only skinned her knees, but he forced the doctor to conduct a full physical examination on her. He said, "You are our family's treasure, you must not be injured at all!" He also once said, "Little girl, you were sent by God to save me. No matter how unhappy I am, I will be fine once I see you." Mia used to think that she was his whole world and if she left him, his world would fall apart. Mia once thought that as long as she grew up, she could finally be with Neil. But it was not this way. Ever since she turned 18, Neil Brown had been hiding from her for the last few years. She had confessed to him countless times, but in return, she only got his ruthless sarcasm, "It's none of my business whether you like me or not." She used to think that she was very c
Mia realized she said it wrongly, so she quickly corrected herself," Aren't you helping your daddy get close to Big Karen?" "Big Karen is still mad at daddy," Little Karen explained to Mia very seriously. After waking up that morning, Big Karen had gone. Little Karen was wondering if Big Karen was scared away by her crying. However, Little Karen did not tell anyone about such an embarrassing thing. Otherwise, her father would laugh at her for crying the other night. In the past two days, she did call Big Karen on the phone. Her voice was very pleasant, and she was still willing to talk to her, but Big Karen didn't want to talk to her father. She then figured out that Big Karen was mad at her father, and it had nothing to do with her crying the other night. Big Karen would not dislike her, how could she not like such a cute girl like Little Karen? Mia suddenly asked her, "Sweetie, do you want to see Big Karen?" Little Karen nodded her head and s
Karen wasn't avoiding him, but she couldn't remember him, their child, and all their past. Although Kevin had long accepted this fact, his heart still hurt every time he met her. He clenched his fists and loosened them, again and again. He then calmed himself down and spoke to her. He said, "Little Karen always tells me about you nowadays. If you can visit her with me, she will be very happy." Karen thought for a moment. She was not at fault in the incident too, why did she avoid him anyway? It would only make her look guilty this way. They were acquaintances. Even if they were not friends, they still knew each other. There was no need for her to hide, she then decided to visit Little Karen with him. After thinking it through, Karen looked up and smiled gently at Kevin. "Okay, let's go together. In fact, I came here to see Little Karen, but I forgot which floor she was on." Karen's smile was a little cunning, she was obviously lying. Kevi
...... 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
