It was such a waste just thinking about it. Director Kevin was probably the only person who could afford to waste a talent like this. Sebastian Spencer was a Ph.D. graduate from a prestigious university. With his skills and capabilities, he had somehow ended up in charge of the video calls between the father and daughter. However, Sebastian accepted the task. After all, his wife was about to give birth. It was not like he was getting paid less for staying at home with his wife anyway. It was definitely something most people would wish for. York Tanner took himself as an example. He had wanted a more relaxed job and not be as busy every day. He had also wished to not have to be always on his toes beside his director. If he could get all these while getting paid the same, then he would totally be more than satisfied. "Is there anything else?" Kevin's cold voice came. York, who was still fantasizing about the future, was pulled back to reality by the co
When Karen Daly recalled all her past memories, she realized that the closest family member by her side was actually the one who had killed her mother. Not only that, but she also learned that the person had also been feeding her with poison throughout the three years when she experienced her memory loss. He was her only family and a person she could trust during those three years. She had treated him like her own father, but in the end, she found that everything was all made up. Fortunately, Kevin Kyle did not give up on her. Kevin had been searching for her all that time. It was Kevin who made her feel secured. He made her feel that she could live a life like everyone else. But gradually, Karen found that she was different from everyone else. Kevin spoiled her and took good care of her. Everything was well arranged for her. He took care of her as if she was an innocent child. He often told her this — Karen, I am your husband, and the one you can re
"You were a good girl. You didn't cry." Since the little one didn't want to admit that she had cried, Karen didn't want to expose her either. Little Karen smiled embarrassingly after hearing what her mother said. "Mommy, I will be good." Little Karen could finally think clearly again. She remembered her father's reminder. She needed to be a sensible child and help her father take care of her mother. She could not mention her father in front of her mother, and she should not make her mother sad. Karen bent over and planted a kiss on Little Karen's cheeks. "Come. Now that you've had a good sleep, get up quickly and come grocery shopping with mommy. I'll cook you a delicious meal tonight." Yes, she needed to cheer up and start a new life, instead of living in her past and thinking about the people and things that she should stop reminiscing about. "Okay. I want to eat strawberries and I want a fruit jam. I want to eat..." Little Karen was already drooling at
A silver Ferrari was parked at the side of the road. It had been there for a while now, so a layer of snow piled up on the roof of the car. There was a man sitting in the driver's seat of the car. The man's eyes fell on Karen and followed her every move. He looked at her with mixed emotions. He had his vision fixed on Karen. It had only been three short days, yet she seemed to have lost some weight. Even though she was wearing a thick down jacket, it was still impossible to hide the fact that she had lost weight. This damn woman!" Did she really know how to take care of herself? Why couldn't she take better care of herself so that he didn't have to worry about her that much. Kevin Kyle clenched his fists over and over again as he watched Karen standing beside the road. He tried really hard to hold his urge to rush out of the car. If he turned up now, that heartless woman could do anything. Just let it be for now, for her to st
In fact, what Karen did not realize was that she did not tell the driver that her name, yet the driver called her "Miss Daly". However, she did not think too much about it. Karen had been thinking about too many things recently, so she was distracted. How could she encounter such good luck even at a job interview? Maybe, when a person encountered every unfortunate thing possible, and the luck couldn't go any worse anymore, things would probably get better. "Mommy!" Little Karen called out for her and completely disrupted Karen's thoughts. "Little Karen, have you had lunch yet?" Karen caught Little Karen in her arms as she ran towards her. She rubbed her head gently. "I'm so full." Little Karen touched her belly and tried to show how full she was from eating good food. "Well, that's great." Karen was very satisfied. "This daughter of yours. I remember she used to be very picky, but why is she not picky at all now? After I served her food,
"No need." Kevin Kyle held Little Karen in his arms and was about to leave. He turned around and explained to Faye, "I'll take Little Karen back to my place, and I'll bring her back here later." Faye understood, "Alright, have fun with Little Karen. I'll find a way to deal with Karen." "Thank you!" Kevin thanked her politely and then walked away with Little Karen in his arms. Faye stood at the door and watched the two of them head towards the house next to Karen's house. This must be the "place" that Kevin mentioned. Rovio was the developer of this luxurious housing area with semi-detached houses. It was impossible for her and Sebastian Spencer to get a house in this area with his paycheck. Kevin must have arranged for Sebastian to stay here after being transferred to work in the United States. Faye understood why Kevin took very good care of Sebastian. This had to do with the close relationship between Karen and her. When Karen came to New Yor
Kevin Kyle never interfered with Karen Daly's work. Even though he bought over PM Corporation for Karen, he did not announce it to the public. So that wouldn't affect Karen's identity as an employee there. Today, when Karen went for the job interview at Bespoke Designs, he only knew about it because he followed her covertly. He didn't arrange it deliberately. He was misunderstood, but Kevin didn't bother to explain himself. He didn't owe anyone any explanation. After saying goodbye to Faye, he left. ...... After seeing her father today, Little Karen was so happy. When she returned home, her face was full of smiles. Seeing her skipping around while humming songs, Karen, who was busy drafting her design, asked curiously, "Baby, why are you so happy today?" "Shush! I can't say!" Little Karen raised her index finger and placed it on her mouth. She promised her father that she would never tell her mother, so she needed to fulfill her promise.
However, as soon as she felt better, her guard went back up again. This time, no one asked for her child. Maybe next time, someone would come asking for Little Karen on Kevin's behalf. As long as he wanted to, he could take Little Karen away no matter what. Karen wanted Little Karen around, but she could not be so selfish. If Little Karen was only with her, then what about Kevin? "Miss Daly, please take the parcel!" The delivery staff reminded her. "Oh, okay!" Karen didn't care about what gifts the gift shop in DD Plaza sent. She took the pen, and signed on the delivery list. She knew that Kevin raised Little Karen, it was reasonable that he wanted to get custody over Little Karen, but she still couldn't bear to let her go. She missed three years of Little Karen's childhood. She really hoped that she could stay with Little Karen every day from now on. The delivery staff left for some time, yet Karen still held Little Karen's hand and stood in t
...... 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
