Looking at Karen Daly, Kevin Kyle suddenly lost control and shouted, "Karen, who do you think you are?" Did she really think she could make him worry about her for the rest of his life? Did she really think that he could not live without her? Karen had just been busy with the design drafts and devoted herself to it, but with her laptop being smashed to the ground and hearing his angry voice, she brought herself back to reality. As she saw how angry Kevin had gotten, Karen took two steps back in shock. She wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say anything at all. She had thought of the situations that might play out once they had a conversation, but none of them was this current situation. She was afraid of him, but at the same time, she felt lost and confused. She took two steps back, but Kevin took three steps forward. After several steps, she was pressed against the wall by Kevin. "Kevin, I..." Karen was afraid
"Kevin, don't..." Karen instinctively reached out her hand to grab Kevin, who was about to turn around and leave. She was holding onto his clothes tightly. She was hoping that Kevin wouldn't take Little Karen away from her when she was not mentally prepared. Little Karen was her only motivation to be strong. She had already lost him, so she didn't want to lose their child. She knew she needed to beg him. Maybe by begging him, he would change his mind. Karen was ready to say something but eventually decided to keep quiet. Kevin was right. She failed her duty as a mother. She had no right to ask him to keep the child by her side. When she was pregnant with Little Karen, she was not able to protect her and she was surgically removed from her. She gave birth to Little Karen when she hadn't reached full term, hence little Karen was a premature baby. If Kevin hadn't taken care of her so well, Little Karen wouldn't be able to live so well.
Karen was in a state of utter confusion as she looked at her phone. She couldn't quite believe that Chace had called her just to have a casual chat. Moreover, his last sentence indicated that he was going to do something terrible to her. What could Chace do now? Was he going to go after Kevin? Karen felt even more restless when she thought about Chace going after Kevin. She could never allow Chace to do anything that would hurt Kevin. "I can't let Chace hurt Kevin!" "I can't let Chace hurt Kevin!" Karen stared at the phone and murmured. She tried to redial the number earlier, but when she called, she only heard the cold and unresponsive generic reply — the number you dialed had been turned off. Chace had turned off his phone as soon as he hung up! What exactly was he planning? Karen circled around the room anxiously. She couldn't just watch as Kevin gets hurt. Karen considered her plan carefully and decided to call Kevin
"Faye!" Karen looked at Faye and smiled as she spoke, "From high school to university, to moving to Chatterton Town, and up until today, you've been taking care of me so well all these years. Thank you and I really appreciate all that you do." When she left her family, Faye was by her side. Right at this moment, when she was helpless and worried, Faye was also by her side without a doubt. Faye was her closest friend and also her best friend. She helped and took care of her whenever possible, but she could not take Faye's help and care for granted. Faye had a family, and her baby was due soon. She had her own life to take care of so how could she ask for her help and support all the time? Karen was always very clear about this. She could not owe Faye so much! Karen was smiling but Faye could see her tears flowing down. Her heart ached as she knew how much Karen was suffering. "You silly girl, why are you telling me this now? Do you not want me as your frien
Every time Karen sent a message, Kevin would check it immediately. But, he was disappointed every time he looked at her texts. She was not giving up and kept pestering him, all because she wanted him to return Little Karen. So as long as he gave Little Karen back to her, she would no longer come looking for him. Kevin held his phone tightly. He was suppressing his waves of anger and pain and trying to calm himself down again and again. He was so frustrated at her adamance. "Daddy..." Little Karen was so worried about her mother that she was close to tears. She didn't understand why her father didn't want to open the door to let her mother in. Her mother had been standing in the snow all this while. What if she got sick from the cold? If her mother got sick from the cold and she lost her mother, she would be extremely upset. "Daddy, I want Mommy!" Little Karen said pitifully. Kevin did not pay attention to Little Karen. He looked out of the wind
He looked at her tenderly. She would always feel weak when he had his adoring eyes on her. He told her with his familiar seductive and pleasant voice that his heart was absolutely empty without her,. Karen wanted to go closer and embrace his tenderness. She really wanted to go back to him, raise their children together, and slowly grow old with him. Just as she was trying to walk up to Kevin and submit herself to him again, she heard voices in her mind. "Karen, no." "You can't go back to Kevin's side. Don't forget how your mother died, and how your father was killed." "If you don't want Kevin to become the third person, then stay away from him and don't appear next to him again." Like a bucket of ice water, the voices woke Karen up just in time. She woke up from the loving dream that Kevin had painted for her. She was here to warn him about Chace. She was not here to listen to his confession of love.
With Little Karen's plea, Karen felt a cut through her heart. The remaining tears she had been suppressing all this while came rolling out at once. She wanted to stiffen up and pretended that she couldn't see her Little Karen, but she couldn't do it, just like how she couldn't forget Kevin. She squatted down and held her child in her arms and rubbed her head. "My baby, I'm sorry! I am so sorry!" "Mommy, I don't want you to say sorry! I want you to be by my side!" Although Little Karen was young and didn't understand a lot of things, she knew that she needed both her father and mother to be happy. When she didn't have a mother back then, her father, grandparents, and Little Aunt loved her very much. Yet, there were always people who said that she was very pitiful. Because other children had mothers, and when she was born, her mother left her. So everyone thought that she was so pitiful. She wanted to be a happy child instead of a sad and pitiful child
On the 24th of December in 2013, Karen was betrayed by both her boyfriend and sister, abandoned by her family, and had become homeless all of a sudden. On the same day, she met Kevin Kyle, the one person who would matter the most to her eventually. They both had completely different lives and stories. One had nothing left, and the other was trying to start a new life. It was hard to tell what the future held for them during that time. If she had not been betrayed that day, she would not have gone to the bar to drink alone. She probably wouldn't have puked all over Kevin and left a lasting impression on him. Then Kevin would not have recognized her when she was on a blind date a few years later, and then replaced the other man to have a date with her instead. She couldn't recognize Kevin because she was so drunk that night when she puked all over him. Kevin, on the other hand, remembered her so well and even used the date of their first meeting
...... 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
