The child's bedroom that Kevin Kyle specially designed for Karen Joy Kyle was next to the master bedroom, but she had almost never slept in this room before. Before Karen Joy Kyle went to kindergarten, Kevin Kyle would take her with him wherever he went. Little Karen would not be away from him for more than three hours at a time. Because she didn't have a mother then, Karen Joy Kyle was very attached to her father. She often followed her father around. Whenever her father was on a business trip, he took her with him. When her father held a meeting, he took her with him. There wasn't one occasion where Kevin Kyle would not allow her to tag him along. In recent months, as many matters have come up and kept him busy, Kevin Kyle was left with no choice but to have Little Karen stay home, so she would sleep alone in her own bedroom. Sometimes it was the nanny who would accompany her, sometimes it was her lovely little aunt who accompanied her, and sometimes it
"I want Grandpa to hug me." Little Karen blinked her big bright eyes and requested softly. Children were very sensitive beings, they were able to read through a person's sincerity very quickly. Grandpa and Grandma really loved Little Karen, so every time she saw her Grandpa and Grandma, she would be very happy and would be willing to come close to them. Papa Kyle happily carried Little Karen and rubbed her head. Then, he gently wiped the tears from her eyes. "Then why don't you sleep with us tonight?" "Okay, okay." With their company, the bad guys would not try to get close to her, so Little Karen figured it was safe. The little baby girl was excited because she had not seen her grandparents for a long time. She played with her grandfather for a long time before falling asleep. Little Karen fell asleep, but Papa Kyle and Mama Kyle couldn't fall asleep. They looked at their granddaughter and sighed. Mama Kyle spoke with sadness, "It's all our fa
"Karen —" Once again, Karen Daly heard Kevin Kyle's deep voice calling her name— She muttered, "Kevin, don't disturb me. Let me sleep for a while before I talk to you." After saying this, Karen Daly suddenly shivered and looked up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Kevin Kyle. He opened his eyes, but perhaps because he wasn't wearing glasses, his eyes seemed a little confused. His eyes did not look as energetic and bright as Karen Daly usually remembered. "Kevin, are you really awake?" Karen Daly did not believe what she saw and pinched her face. Ouch! She really wasn't dreaming. Kevin Kyle was really awake. Seeing Karen Daly's silly look, Kevin Kyle chuckled. However, he still had some wounds on his face, so when he smiled, he flinched a little. "Kevin, talk to me, I'm not dreaming, am I?" Karen Daly still couldn't believe it and asked cautiously. Before Papa Kyle went back home, he told her that it will not be easy for Kevin
Kevin Kyle must have responded in a different language for a reason. If she confronted Kevin Kyle earlier, she would not get an answer. She decided to ask the doctor in secret instead. The doctor smiled and said, "Mrs. Kyle, don't worry. Director Kevin was just worried about his physical conditions. He was worried that he will fall unconscious again." "Is that all?" Karen Daly asked. There was no need for Kevin Kyle to explain those concerns to the doctor in French. She was sceptical. "Yes." The doctor nodded, yet he was blinking a lot. "Doctor, please tell me the truth," Karen Daly said firmly. She knew it was impossible to get truths out from those who work for Kevin Kyle. However, she still didn't give up despite the slim chances. She was persistent in getting the answer from the doctor. The doctor responded helplessly, "Mrs. Kyle, Director Kevin asked me in French because he didn't want you to worry about him. You should underst
"If you scare me again, I won't care about you anymore." Karen Daly spoke fiercely to Kevin Kyle, but her gaze was still very gentle. She stared at Kevin Kyle's delicate facial features quietly. She had known him for many years and had lived with him for so long. But as she woke up every morning and sees his face, she still remained charmed by him. In this world, there were a lot of attractive men, but how many of them were as kind, compassionate, and capable as Kevin Kyle was? Did God arrange so many hardships and obstacles in his life just because he was born attractive and wealthy? His own grandfather had been replaced by an imposter, and he had been treating the wicked Warren Silas as his loving grandfather for more than 20 years. This impostor also managed to recruit people around Kevin Kyle to spy for him. The impostor secretly poisoned Kevin, causing him to fall into a coma twice. As for now, his vision had worsened and he was unsure if he cou
Papa Kyle was heading towards Mia Kyle's apartment after leaving the hospital. Warren Silas also mentioned that he would like to meet Mia Kyle. Warren Silas' request could be rejected by Papa Kyle without hesitation, but ultimately, it was up to Mia Kyle to decide if she would want to meet Warren Silas. No matter what Warren Silas had done, the Kyle family still regarded Mia Kyle as part of their family. Kyle's family would not want Mia to walk alone. Papa Kyle did not contact Mia in advance. He only called her on the phone when he arrived at the door. No one answered the call for a long time. He dialed again, and again, and Mia Kyle finally answered the call on the fourth try. She didn't say anything when she answered the call. Papa Kyle asked carefully, "Mia, can you hear daddy speaking?" In Mia Kyle's defense, she was very worried to pick up his call. She was worried to hear his voice, or hear from anyone from the Kyle family. She knew
Papa Kyle ate the dishes and commented on the food too, "Yes, it's delicious. Next time, we're definitely coming here again with your mother, brother, Karen, and Little Karen. They need to try this too." Papa Kyle took Mia Kyle's favorite croissant and placed it on her plate, "Your mother and I will move back to Chatterton Town and we definitely would enjoy the life here." Papa Kyle did not realize that Mia Kyle felt awkward for a moment. Papa Kyle never saw Mia Kyle as anyone different besides being a child in his own family, so when he planned his future, Mia Kyle was included too. Mia Kyle heard Papa Kyle mention about the family and felt sad. She would never have the chance to eat with the Kyle family in the future anymore. Papa Kyle noticed her change of expression. He put down his cutleries and said worriedly, "Mia, let's eat first. We can worry about other matters later. Look at you, your mother will not be able to recognize you anymore if you keep
Neil Brown rushed towards Warren Silas's room at lightning speed while various possibilities of Warren Silas' death flashed through his mind. If Warren Silas did not commit suicide, who could have killed him in Chatterton Town's military region? Security was tight, and he had surveillance cameras everywhere. There weren't any clues. When Neil Brown arrived at Warren Silas' room, Mia Kyle was still standing by the door, looking petrified. Mia Kyle gave out a heart-wrenching scream when she first saw Warren Silas body, then she stared blankly at his lifeless figure on the ground. She was terrified and stunned. Her face looked pale cold sweat was dripping down her forehead. She was also trembling... Neil Brown looked at Mia Kyle first. He pulled her into his arms, and patted her back, "Don't be afraid!" Mia Kyle couldn't hear what Neil Brown said. She couldn't even feel him pulling her into his arms. Her eyes were just fixated on Warren Silas. Nei
...... 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
