All of a sudden, Kevin Kyle felt awkward. Little Karen was not willing to go, and so Karen Daly was not willing too. It was obvious that Karen only wanted to see Little Karen, not him. Kevin shook his head helplessly and said, "Little Karen, tomorrow, I will invite Big Karen to have lunch with us at noon." "Daddy, if Big Karen goes I also want to go!" Hearing Big Karen would come, Little Karen immediately changed her mind. She held her father's head with her small hands and kissed him on his face. Daddy was not that bad. He knew that she liked Big Karen, so he invited Big Karen to have lunch together. Daddy is awesome. The child thought to herself. "Mr.Kyle, in that case, please tell Little Karen that I will meet her at noon tomorrow!" Karen's voice came from the other end of the phone, and then she hung up. Kevin was upset. There was no doubt that he had been ousted by Big Karen and Little Karen. ... The next day. When she ar
Karen Daly did not know what had happened to herself. How could she be so sad? It was clear that she was offended by Kevin Kyle. He regarded her as a substitute. He deserved it. Why should she blame herself? Because she didn't understand this emotion, her heart was in a mess. After hitting Kevin Kyle, she ran away in a panic. She didn't know where she was going to run away to. She rushed forward at random until she was caught by a powerful palm. "Karen—" Karen Daly looked up and met his deep eyes. His voice was low and hoarse, which made her feel guilty. A few days ago, Karen had also been treated this way by Kevin. That time, he also looked at her with such a look. Being looked at like this, she felt more like she had done something wrong. Karen understood that Kevin saw another person through her, the mother of Little Karen whom he deeply loved, his deceased wife. An inexplicable sense of sadness poured into Karen's heart. She did not k
Today's meal was arranged by Kevin Kyle with great care. There were several dishes on the table, which were exactly the same as several years ago. Steamed scallops, curry crab, tofu, shrimp with bitter gourd, and so on... There were some dishes with heavy taste and some with a mild taste. This time, it not only was in line with their appetite but also took care of Little Karen's preference, who was a new member of the family. The tofu was nutritious and healthy so it was most suitable for Little Karen, who did not have fully grown teeth yet. Kevin Kyle took a small bowl and filled the bowl for Little Karen. "Sweetie, can you eat it yourself?" Little Karen grabbed the spoon and tapped her little head. "I can," she said softly. Big Karen was watching from the side. How could she not do that? Little Karen wanted to show off in front of Big Karen. Little Karen picked up a spoon and said like an adult. "Big Karen, I'll feed you." "Thank you, Little
Kevin Kyle had seen many people and things before, but when he heard the hoarse voice, he was a little surprised and he looked at the boy doubtfully. There seemed to be much hidden in the boy's eyes. He tried his best to hide them from others, but he was still too young. Coming up against him, Kevin Kyle could see through his eyes immediately. Kevin got up, picked up Little Karen while saying, "Uncle Watson, take him away." "I - don't - want - to -go!" The boy tried his best to say these words, his voice was still hoarse. His scarlet eyes stared at Little Karen, who was in Kevin's arms, and he said again, "I want to stay, I want to stay by her side." "What... you want to stay with my daughter?" Kevin snorted. "My daughter does not lack people who can take care of her." "My life..." The teenaged boy swallowed, and it took him a lot of effort to say, "I can protect her with my life." The boy's every word was sincere. Kevin could see that what he
In the past two or three years, Karen Daly had not had a good night's sleep. Most of the time, she would be surprised by nightmares, so she slept late, hoping to sleep deeper as soon as she fell asleep. However, it didn't work at all. As long as she closed her eyes, she would have all kinds of nightmares to pester her. Today, she dreamed again. She dreamed of a lot of people in white coats holding needles and injecting unknown liquids into her body. She struggled and resisted, but it was useless. It was as if there was an invisible net covering her. She could only allow those people to harm her. "Karen Daly—" In the darkness, a low voice was calling her name. It was a very familiar but far-away male voice. As the voice sounded, a black figure came to her. The black figure was getting closer and closer. She wanted to reach out to grab him. Just as she was about to catch the black figure, a doctor-like man dragged her away and stabbed her with a big cy
Karen Daly went downstairs. There was a full moon. The bright moon shone brightly in the sky, illuminating the whole world within a dreamy white light. It seemed to be shrouded by a layer of white gauze, which was exceptionally graceful. Kevin Kyle was standing in the moonlight, with one hand in his pocket, and his back very straight. He looked to a distance, and he did not see Karen Daly coming downstairs at first. Therefore, Karen had a moment of silence to enjoy looking at him. In recent years, Karen had been in the fashion industry, and she had seen many beautiful models... However, none of them could match up to Kevin's appearance and style. He was proud and reserved, elegant and upright. Although she didn't want to, she had to admit he was the most perfect man she had ever seen. Thinking of this, she was a little jealous of his deceased wife. When Karen was in a daze, Kevin turned around and saw her. The man in the moonlight smiled in an
The car rolled to a stop, and there were staff coming to pick the car up but Kevin Kyle waved his hand to tell them to wait. Karen Daly was still asleep in the passenger's seat but she didn't sleep soundly. She seemed to be frightened by something several times and was trembling with fear along the way. In the past, whenever she fell asleep, she occasionally slept till dawn, but sometimes she had nightmares, so she barely had any sleep. Now, almost every night, Karen Daly would be bothered by nightmares. He heard her screaming hysterically and asking for help, but he couldn't help her. He could not even hug her in his arms and tell her that he is by her side and not to be afraid. Three years ago, in the staged "car accident", those people had forcefully taken Little Karen out of Karen Daly's womb. Although he did not witness it with his own eyes, as long as he thought of it, he would feel as if a knife was twisting in his heart, and he would feel so
The sun rises slowly into the sky. Everything in front of them was so bright. Kevin Kyle lowered his head, and Karen Daly, who was in his arms, had fallen asleep. Her breathing was even and her face was slightly red, she was quiet and still so beautiful. Looking at her, Kevin Kyle could not help but swallow in anticipation. He slowly lowered his head, and his sexy thin lips fell on her pink lips. He gently kissed her and quickly released her. Karen Daly moved. She changed into a more comfortable posture, but still lay in his arms, and continued to sleep. Kevin Kyle gently picked her up and carried her to the small villa close by. He strode elegantly and carefully. When he came to the second floor of the room, Kevin Kyle put Karen Daly on the bed gently. When he was about to let go of her, Karen Daly grabbed him. She tugged at his sleeve tightly, like a drowning person who had caught the only life-saving straw. She seemed so terrified.
...... 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
