"Because there are too many uncontrollable factors to consider. I have to think about them one by one." Kevin Kyle answered seriously. "I'm just joking with you. Why are you so serious?" Karen Daly glanced at him and smiled. "Let's get up. There are still a lot of things to do today." "Karen—" Kevin called Karen's name. He wanted to say something but stopped speaking. "What's wrong?" Karen looked back at him. After a moment of silence, Kevin said seriously again, "I'm serious about every word I've said to you." Every word was true. ...... Last night, the whole family went back to their rooms early to rest. There was nothing to worry about so they slept well. They got up early too. Sarrabelle requested for the helpers to prepare some luxurious breakfast, which looked so appetizing that it got everyone salivating. When Mama Kyle came back from her morning exercise routine, she helped to prepare the breakfast too for everyone at home.
On the breakfast table, although they lacked Mia Kyle's energy, they had Little Karen instead. Little Karen was the youngest treasure in the family. Except for Kevin Kyle, everyone else's attention was on her. They were all concerned about her. Mama Kyle said, "Little Karen, I made this corn soup for you. Have a try and see if you like it." Papa Kyle said, "little Karen, didn't you say that you want to build a new house for Momo? I have already built it for her. Go over with her later." "Woof woof..." Momo was so excited that her eyes were full of tears. The whole family had forgotten about Momo for some time. She was so happy and excited at the mention of her name and her new house! Little Karen replied to her Momo, "Good girl, let's have breakfast first. After a while, we'll go check out your new house." "Woof woof woof..." "Great, not only can I live in a new house, but I can also get everyone's attention. This feeling is really great!
After thinking it over, Kevin Kyle said, "Whether the mystery person exists or not, I'll send someone to investigate it. You shouldn't get involved." "Go look at the scars on Mia's body. If you still dare tell me not to meddle in another's business, then I'll leave you alone." Neil Brown said angrily. "Mia is part of the Kyle family. Who doesn't love her as you do?" Kevin looked at Neil coldly, "Neil, I can understand how you want to vent your anger, but don't bring any trouble to me." "Did I cause any trouble?" Hearing these words, Neil was furious. "Matthew, when did I f*cking cause trouble for you?" "I told you not to intervene in this matter. You'd better behave yourself. Just see it as a huge favor you're doing for me." Kevin did not hold back at all when he talked to his uncle. Neil sneered and said, "You want me to just stand by and watch? Don't even think about it!" Kevin's darkened eyes fell on Neil as he said, "Mia is one of us. Those peopl
Kevin Kyle loved his daughter very much. He could do anything for his daughter as long as it made her happy. Kevin ignored everyone's gaze and took out his personal mobile phone from his pocket calmly. When he saw the phone number on the phone, his indifferent face suddenly softened. He waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Only then did he answer the call, "Karen?" Karen Daly's gentle and pleasant voice came from the phone. "Kevin, the chief of PM Corporation called me in person, he requested for me to return to work." "Is that true?" Kevin did not remember asking his employees to call Karen and ask her to go back to work. Karen did not know that Kevin was in a meeting. She nodded excitedly and said, "Well, it was Director Cheng who called me personally. I have nothing on recently anyway, so I have agreed. I'll go and have a look later." Although PM Corporation mainly focused on lingerie designs, which was different from the bridal gowns th
Karen Daly had not come to work for months. She had also heard that PM Corporation had changed their chief designer, but the office she used to work in was still available for her. The office still looked the same as the last time she worked there. Her personal belongings and stationery were all untouched. The decorations and arrangement were not the only things that remained unchanged, there was also a bouquet of fresh red roses on the desk. The red roses represented passionate love. There was a card in the bouquet. The card said, "The most beautiful flowers, for the most beautiful you. Best wishes every day!" The short message did not mention the sender, but Karen guessed that it must have been Kevin Kyle. Passionate red roses? Kevin would not say such cheesy words, but he might express his love for her in this way. When they first got married, he had said that he didn't believe in love. Now he had even learned to send flowers to make h
His secretary had already arranged a lunch appointment for Kevin Kyle with Director Houston at noon. At this point, when she heard that Kevin was going to have lunch with his wife, she was distressed, but she did not dare to have any objection. Karen Daly's identity as Kevin's rightful wife had not been announced to the public, therefore nobody knew about it. However, after Warren Silas' attempted seizing of power of Rovio the last time, Karen had shown up in the headquarters, and all the internal employees at Rovio finally came to know about her existence. Everyone knew that their Director Kevin not only doted on his daughter but also on his wife. No one would dare to object if he said that he had a lunch date with his wife. "Yes." The secretary made arrangements as soon as he received the order. As soon as the secretary left, Karen came downstairs. Ignoring the onlookers' gazes at Kevin, she plunged into Kevin's arms and snuggled like a child. She was overjoye
The dishes were served very quickly. The dishes were served before the coconut juice arrived. The first dish was a spicy stew! Karen Daly was salivating when she saw the spicy dish, but Kevin Kyle kept frowning. When they ordered the dishes just now, they had requested for slight spiciness. However, this dish was full of red chili peppers. Kevin really wanted to go to another restaurant with Karen, but if he were to ask that, Karen would panic, so he decided to hold back. Karen picked up her fork and skewered a piece of meat instantly. The spiciness was satisfying. She felt really good. As he watched Karen eating happily, Kevin's brows furrowed even deeper. Such spicy food would definitely make one's stomach uncomfortable. He poured some plain water in his bowl. He was not accustomed to eating such spicy food before. After he rinsed the meat in the bowl, he ate the meat one after another without stopping. Karen noticed how earnestly Kevin was e
After Kevin Kyle's car left, the man withdrew his eyes just when the mobile phone beside him rang. He picked up the phone, "Didn't I ask you not to contact me on your own? I'll call you if there's anything." The person on the other end of the phone had said something, and the man tightened his grip on the phone. His voice turned cold, "You are already in trouble yourself, so stay out of my matters, they are none of your concern." The man cut off the call and gripped the phone so tightly that he could crush it. ...... The place Kevin took Karen Daly to was Ivan's studio. He also brought Karen's sketched designs of their wedding outfits for Ivan to create samples. Ivan looked at Kevin with dissatisfaction, "Leo, don't make me your private designer just because you are rich." Kevin snorted. "Don't tell me you're in the industry because of interest and not for the money." "That's right. I am in this industry beca
...... 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
