"Mommy?" Little Karen raised her head, "Let's find Daddy." She knew that her Mommy was acting weird today, but she wasn't sure why. She knew that her Daddy would be able to help with this. "Daddy is busy!" Karen didn't have the courage to face Kevin. She was afraid of seeing his cold face. The Kevin she saw today was colder than she had ever seen him. It's almost as if he had put up a wall around himself, and no one could come close. "How about you go play with Brother Jayden and sister Momo?" Little Karen shook her head, "No. I want to be with Mommy." She must keep an eye on her Mommy. She must hold on to her tightly. She must not let her Mommy go away this time. "Okay, then let's go take a nap." Karen picked Little Karen up and gave her cheek a kiss. As sensible as she was, Little Karen was still a kid. Lying beside her mother, she fell asleep quickly. Little Karen was asleep, but Karen was not sleepy at all. She got up again and
After Karen met him in the bedroom earlier, Kevin didn't leave the study anymore. He 'considerately' left the room to Karen tonight, and didn't stop her from staying close to Little Karen. That night, she still slept in the master bedroom with Little Karen. Since Little Karen had taken a nap in the afternoon, she wasn't very sleepy at night. She asked Karen all kinds of questions. Although she had many questions, Karen was very patient. She answered every question Little Karen asked very carefully. This night was the last night they would lie together like this. In the future, she could not hold Little Karen's body as she slept again. That was why she valued every second she had with Little Karen. "Mommy, when will I grow up?" This question was always the question that Little Karen was most concerned about. Even though her eyes were almost closed, she still wanted to ask. Karen hugged her and answered gently, "As long as you eat every meal prop
"Miss Daly, please rest assured. You will be the one raising Little Karen, but Director Kevin will provide alimony and financial support every month." This was York Tanner's answer. "What? Alimony? Who wants his money?" Karen shouted angrily, attracting unwanted attention from the people around her. She was a strong and independent woman. She could easily earn a living for herself and her child. What she wanted to know was, what was Kevin Kyle thinking? Did he think of Little Karen as an object'? An object that he could just kick around? The reason why she wanted him to take care of Little Karen was that she believed that Little Karen had a deeper relationship with him. How could he ask her to take away this precious child that they brought to the world so callously? And this was Little Karen they were talking about! "Miss Daly, we are just passing on Director Kevin's words. If you have any further questions, please ask him personally." York sa
She should just forget it and stop thinking about those useless things. Kevin Kyle had already filed for the divorce as she wished. Now as she tried to recall, Kevin had always agreed to any requests she made over the years. Hence, this divorce was no exception as well. She stood on the side of the road and looked at the cloudless sky. The world is big, but suddenly, she did not know where she could go. Go home? But where was home for her? She had lost her home! Since their marriage, home was where Kevin was. Now that Karen Daly had separated from Kevin, where would her home be? Where could she settle down in the future? "Baby, where can I take you to?" Karen asked in her heart while touching her belly. It was a question for the baby, and also for herself. Little Karen's custody had been awarded to her. So she had to pick Little Karen up from Secret Garden. She needed to find Little Karen and herself a home. "Mommy
The destination on the flight ticket was New York, United States. It would take about 16 hours to fly from Chatterton Town to New York. A few days ago, Karen and Faye had a phone conversation and were discussing her visit to the States. But now, without having to go through the hassle of applying for visas and purchasing tickets, everything was prepared for her. This unintentional move from Kevin had indeed saved her a lot of trouble. George was driving. He looked at Karen from the rearview mirror and asked worriedly, "Karen, are you okay?" Karen looked fine as if the divorce between her and Kevin hadn't impacted her. But the more she reacted this way, the more concerned everyone was. "What can really happen to me?" Karen smiled and replied, "Brother, if you don't want to go to New York, you can just take us to the airport." "You're pregnant, and you have two children with you and a dog. Do you think I can let you go to the States alone?" George glar
An impulsive marriage without discussing it with the family, and getting divorced without informing any family members. These would totally be the things people like Neil Brown would do. It never occurred to anyone that Kevin Kyle, a powerful figure in the business world and someone who had always abided by the rules, would do such a crazy and unbelievable thing. Although Neil felt that his men had been underused, he wasn't that angry actually. Instead, he was very curious about what happened between Kevin and his wife. Kevin replied indifferently, "As you can see, we are divorced." Karen wanted the divorce so he fulfilled what she wished for. If she said that she wanted to go look for the happiness she desired, then he would let her search for it. As long as it was what she wanted, he would fulfil her wish no matter what. So what else could she ask from a husband like this? "You are angry!" In his memory, Kevin was hardly angry. To put it precisely,
"Matthew, we're here. Why don't you get off and have a look?" The car had been parked for a while now, but Kevin Kyle still did not react so Neil Brown decided to prompt him. Kevin looked up. Karen Daly was holding Little Karen in one hand and Jayden in the other. She was smiling gently. She had just gone through a divorce, but there was no sadness on her face. Kevin knew very well that it wasn't because she didn't feel sad, but she was just too used to hiding her true emotions. This damn woman! He had the urge to rush over to carry her home to teach her a lesson. He would pour cold water on her so that she could finally come to her senses. There was nothing that she had to hide from him. Why would she use divorce to solve the problem? Did she think she could get rid of him just like that? She could never escape from him, be it this lifetime or the next. "Matthew..." Kevin ignored him. He took out his phone and dialed a number, and asked
"Sister-in-Law." Karen interrupted Mia and said firmly, "Mia, stop it. The flight is about to take off. We still have to go through the boarding procedures and security checks." She tried persuading Karen but to no avail. So Mia looked at George Ken who had been quiet. "George, why don't you say a word? She is your sister. Please persuade her not to leave my brother, please?" "Mia, just go," George said the same thing. This was between Karen Daly and Kevin Kyle. If they had not figured it out themselves, it would be useless for others to persuade them. He knew both their temper very well. It would be a waste of time to say anything now. So it would be better to just remain silent. Seeing how her persuasion had not changed anything, Mia Kyle yelled at Neil Brown anxiously, "Neil, I order you to tie her up and send her back now. They're not allowed to leave." She believed, as long as they were given more time, then they would not divorce once the
...... 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
