As Neil roared, Mia muttered, "Who would know if you were really too greedy or you couldn't resist the temptation of women?" Neil refuted, "Because I like you very much. Since you became an adult, I have been thinking about you day and night and wanted you to be my woman. But there were many reasons that prevented me from approaching you, and I was afraid that I would hurt you." Neil never intended to tell Mia what he just said, but he couldn't predict what the little girl would do if he didn't say it now. "Are you serious about this, Neil?" Mia had always thought that it was her own wishful thinking. She was the one who had pestered Neil so much that he finally decided to become her boyfriend because he was annoyed. She was a confident person, but she did not know if Neil really had a place for her in his heart. Therefore, as soon as Neil expressed his thoughts and feelings, Mia was very surprised. She even thought that she was hallucinating. Neil glared
Mia was always a cheerful person, and she never held grudges on things for long. Since Neil made things clear to her, the two of them were as good as before. They held hands wherever they went. Mama Kyle was also relieved to see them back together again. Before they were ready to return to Chatterton Town, she took Mia's hand and reminded her again to control her temper better in the future. They needed to be more considerate of each other for their relationship to last. Mia hugged Mama Kyle and acted like a spoiled child. "Mom, Neil is so much older than me. It's quite unfair for me to be with him. He should be more considerate to me instead." Papa Kyle was a few years older than Mama Kyle. However, whatever decisions they made, he would always consider Mama Kyle's opinions first. Her cold brother was another example. All these years, no matter what he did, he would always think of Karen Daly first. Whenever her sister-in-law coughed, her cold broth
Setting off from the Aegean Sea, Karen Daly wanted to go to explore Athens a little as she wanted to see the famous Temple of Zeus. Kevin Kyle turned her request down without any explanation. Karen asked him repeatedly, but he did not say why. Only after they landed in Paris that Kevin gave her an answer. He explained very calmly, "If you want to look at a mighty gentleman, there is one right in front of you." Karen was at a loss for words. Kevin was not only cold and domineering but also narcissistic. Well, she couldn't deny how good looking Kevin was. He looked much more attractive than some of the celebrities out there. More importantly, she liked how he was considerate towards her and doted on her. Since Kevin was brave enough to proclaim how mighty he was, she would just let him gloat. She did not mind to follow Kevin around. Kevin took Karen to their first stop, which was Paris. The reason why he chose to come to this city for
"Mrs. Kyle, are you still jealous?" As soon as Annette left, Kevin Kyle immediately looked at Karen Daly and asked with a smile. "Who's jealous? Do you think that everyone is as childish as you?" Karen did not want to admit. Kevin chuckled, "Are you really not jealous?" Karen turned her head away from him, "No, I'm not." Kevin said again, "That's good. In the future, I don't have to avoid Annette deliberately anymore." Karen responded, "Kevin, how dare you!" Kevin smiled with a sense of satisfaction, "Since you don't allow me to, then I will follow your wishes in the future." Karen was speechless. This man was getting naughtier day by day! She glared at him and was about to leave. Kevin grabbed her quickly and held her in his arms to comfort her. "Alright, I'm just fooling around with you. I won't tease you anymore." Karen glanced at him and whispered, "So you know that you are teasing me." But in fact, she didn't mind i
The three words "I love you" were very simple. Many people could say it out loud, but for Kevin Kyle, it was as precious as a thousand bars of gold. So far, he had not said it out loud to Karen Daly. Kevin was not good with expressions or words. He always used actions to show his love for Karen. However, Kevin would occasionally overhear the secretaries chatting in the office. They would say that if a person loved someone, the person must let them know. If the words "I love you" were not said, he or she might not understand the person's feelings for the rest of her or his life. After listening to the secretary's conversation unintentionally, Kevin had been wondering whether Karen understood his feelings for her. Karen was wise sometimes. There were many things that he didn't need to say, yet she could understand him. However, in terms of emotions, Kevin couldn't understand her. He didn't know if she could read his mind. After thinking about it, Kevin
Karen Daly glared at Kevin Kyle fiercely with every step she took, secretly blaming him for being so wild earlier. She didn't want to talk to Kevin. Kevin smiled and said, "I heard that Old Master Anthony likes women who are educated, polite, gentle, and considerate." Karen glared at Kevin and thought, "What's that got to do with me?" Old Master Anthony! Karen was a little slow, and it took a long time for her to understand the implied meaning. She was so excited that she clutched the corner of Kevin's clothes and asked, "Kevin, are you referring to Master Anthony, the famous fashion designer?" Master Anthony was a legend in the fashion industry. He taught many apprentices and they became famous designers too. He was very well-known and appreciated by the industry. A big shot like him had already retired a long time ago and no longer accepted any apprentices. He wouldn't be willing to meet any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Therefore, Karen did not imagi
"What are you looking at?" Kevin Kyle came over and asked worriedly when he saw Karen Daly staring at the distance. "Nothing." Karen shook her head, unwilling to tell Kevin, because she knew that Kevin had something to do with Wilis Corporation's fall from grace. Wilis Corporation went under and Mr. Wilis committed suicide. Mr. Wilis got what he deserved and that was enough. As for Kristine Daly... Karen was happy for her when she saw that Kristine was alive and had a young child with her. Regardless of the child's background, Karen was still happy for her. Although Kristine had done a lot of bad things to her in the past, it was all in the past. Karen almost forgot how much pain she had suffered in the past. Time had passed, and Karen was not willing to hold grudges. She was only able to meet Kevin and appreciated him because of all the bad people in her past anyway. "Then let's go for a walk again." Karen did not want to say more, and Kevin d
Karen Daly was expected to be due in these few days. As early as a month ago, Kevin Kyle forced her to put down the work in her hands and wanted her to stay home. Kevin also handed his job and tasks over to his subordinates a month ago. He followed Karen everywhere, for fear that Karen and the child would be in danger. Their first child, Little Karen, was taken out from her belly prematurely. The second child was lost because Karen had been injured and went into a coma. This was their third child. Kevin insisted on staying by Karen's side and waiting for the arrival of their child. He would not allow any accidents to happen again. Initially, Kevin did not intend to have a child anymore. He even arranged to do a vasectomy like his father did. He didn't know who leaked the news, and Karen came to the doctor's office to stop him just in time. After they came back from their honeymoon, Karen worked hard to take care of her own body. She had been thinking
...... 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
