Yesterday, when she learned that Karen Daly was coming to the United States and would stay next door to them, Faye Reed took Sebastian Spencer to see the house in the middle of the night. Although she trusted Kevin's arrangement, how could Faye be at ease if she did not see it with her own eyes? "Faye, it's so good to have you here." Karen felt like home when she saw Faye and recalled the time where Faye moved to Chatterton Town with her many years ago. When they moved from Beaford City to Chatterton Town, they packed light and just bravely headed over with nothing. At that time, they were full of energy and confidence. They believed that they would be able to create a future of their own in Chatterton Town. Later, the two of them slowly settled down in Chatterton Town. With their own studio creating bridal designs, their lives were pretty good. Karen believed that she could adapt to life in New York too. She wanted to live in this city with he
When she fell asleep lately, she would have nightmares. In the past, Karen experienced this before. However, she stopped having nightmares when she returned to Kevin's side. Karen was too familiar with the horrible feeling and she didn't want to experience it again. Because of fear, Karen did not dare to fall asleep. She got up from the bed, opened the suitcase, and planned to take out the clothes in the luggage to hang them in the wardrobe. She wanted to find something to do so she wouldn't fall asleep and she wouldn't miss Kevin too. Maybe time would pass faster. When Karen opened the suitcase, she realized that it wasn't filled with her clothes, instead it was filled with her design materials and tools. There were her beloved brushes, drawing boards that Kevin had given her, and a lot of her hand-drawn designs. These things were trash in other people's eyes, but to her, they were precious treasures. Every unwanted sketch was Kare
How strange was she behaving? It was she who sent a message to tell Kevin Kyle not to prepare anything for her. She wanted to cut off all ties with him. But when she heard from York that these were not prepared by him, she was sad again. Karen patted her face and tried to put on a weak smile. "Karen, don't think about anything that doesn't belong to you. Think about Little Karen, think about the child in your belly. You are not alone, and you still have them." She told herself. Yes, she was not alone. She still had her children... Karen felt a little better as if she could finally feel her heartbeat calmly again. ·············· "Director Kevin, I followed your words and have explained the situation to your wife." York hung up the phone and looked into Kevin's gloomy eyes. He then wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Kevin did not say a word, and his face remained as cold as usual. His hand held the phone so strongly that it seemed like he wanted to
Neil Brown had just ordered his men to take action when his phone suddenly rang. Mia Kyle called him. Neil took the call immediately when he saw Mia's number. He didn't have time to deal with these useless people anymore. He picked up the phone and said, "Mia, I just called you, and you must be crazy to hang up on me. Are you done with your work now?" Neil's temper was triggered when he called Mia earlier and she hung up his call because she needed to begin filming. Hence, he decided to teach those rascals a lesson sternly. He certainly couldn't tell others about such a shameful thing, so he vented his anger on those scumbags. When Mia called, although he spoke rudely, but the smile on his face just made him look like a fanboy. His smile was particularly wide. Mia's pleasant voice came from the phone. "Neil, you know I'm filming. Why did you call me?" "Mia, which is more important, filming or me?" Surely, he must be the pick? "Of course f
Mia Kyle had won the fight. She asked her assistant to continue removing her makeup for her, like her mood was not affected at all. However, the two women told the filming crew what had happened earlier and exaggerated the story. They said that Mia called them old when she was just a few years younger than them. How could they be "old"? They felt offended. However, Mia had a cute appearance, especially with her vibrant smile, which made her look younger. Although she was in her early twenties, she still looked like an eighteen-year-old student. In Mia's own words, she had great genes and was born beautiful to attract people's attention. What could she do? Well, Mia had always been so shameless and confident. As soon as she was done cleaning up, the phone call from Neil came in. "Mia, I'm here. Where are you?" She was at a film set in Chatterton Town. When there were celebrities filming, the security was very strict, so entry was
"Mia, are you stupid?" If he could hold it in, would he choose to do it in the car? It was cramped in the car. With any bigger movements, they would be hitting their heads everywhere. Of course, it wouldn't be as exciting. Mia Kyle pushed Neil Brown's chest and continued to persuade him, "Neil, can you be more flexible? Be patient, okay? I'll make sure you have an amazing night later." "Did you prepare something?" The desire that Neil had in his eyes faded a little, but he was still pressing on Mia's body without letting go. Mia smiled cunningly and said, "Captain Brown, I promise to have you fully satisfied. If you're not satisfied, I will pay you back ten times more. What do you think?" "Pay me back ten times more?" That was an irresistible offer. There was no reason for Neil to disagree. For the sake of his happiness, he had to be patient. Before he let go of Mia, he whispered in her ears, "Mia, remember this, I already had an erection just now."
Neil Brown opened his eyes. He saw colorful lights that spelled out the words ---- Neil, Happy Birthday!. "Surprise..." Mia did a little twirl in front of Neil and spread out her hands. "Look over there, Neil." Neil turned his head and saw a heart-shaped cake and all his favorite dishes being laid out on the dining table. Now he recalled why Mia was asking him about today. She was trying to remind him that it was his birthday. He didn't even remember his own birthday but she had remembered his birthday so well. All these years, he wasn't used to celebrating his own birthday. Few years ago, the soldiers in the military would also host birthday parties for him. Later, when they realized that he was not actually interested in it, they stopped. So very few remembered when his birthday was. So when Neil saw the birthday surprise Mia had prepared for him, he was actually very touched. Some simple decorations, a common heart-shaped cake, plus a few ho
Neil Brown dying from taking a cold shower! The news headline on the front page for the next day would read, "Captain Brown of the Chatterton Town Military, found dead in the home of a famous actress." That would be sensational news! By then, Mia Kyle would definitely be famous all over the world because of this, and probably gain prominence as a pornstar too. Thinking of this, Mia had goosebumps all over her body. She finally came back to her senses. F*ck! Although she was annoyed that Neil didn't know how to treat a woman properly, but, if something bad were to happen to him, she would definitely be heartbroken. So she wished that Neil would remain fine. He had to live a long life, or at least long enough until she leaves the world first. She surely didn't want to be devastated over Neil's passing. After a while, Neil came out of the bathroom. When he walked past Mia with only a bath towel, Mia could feel the chill coming fr
...... 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
