"You don't have to say it. It's good that we understand each other in our hearts." Looking at Karen Joy Kyle's hands on her legs, Dominic Cooper was so tempted to hold her. Just as he was about to touch her, Karen Joy suddenly turned to him and said, "Brother Dominic, you should know why I came to Country A." Karen Joy knew what Dominic wanted to do. It seemed that the warning she gave him just now was not harsh enough, he still wanted to take advantage of her. What a joke! Her body was reserved for Brother Lionel, not for others, and especially not for this guy who had evil intentions. Dominic withdrew his hand and smiled awkwardly. "I... I don't know, but I'm willing to listen." "I came to find my Brother Lionel, but my Brother Lionel thought that I didn't recognize him. So he didn't want to reconcile with me too." Karen Joy bit her lip. She was really sad when she mentioned about Brother Lionel, but at this time, her sadness was somewhat exaggerat
"Karen... Karen..." Dominic Cooper shouted several times, but no one responded to him. Karen Joy Kyle seemed to have disappeared in an instant. "Karen, don't fool around. You can't see in the dark. Don't hurt yourself." It was impossible for her to disappear. He guessed that she was messing with him. Bang— The door of the private room was suddenly kicked open, and then a tall figure rushed into the room. Before Dominic figured out what was going on, the man rushed to the corner of the room like a gust of wind. "Who are you? What do you want to do?" Because the lights were turned off, Dominic couldn't see anything. He didn't know who barged in. However, he knew that the person who broke in must be skillful. The room was dark, and he could not even see his fingers. Yet, the person could rush into the room and went to a corner. The man did not answer him. It seemed that the person who broke into the room was looking for something. Dominic ye
Brother Lionel arrived! Brother Lionel, like many other times in the past, appeared just in time when Karen Joy needed him. He came by her side to protect her. Since she knew that she was safe in Brother Lionel's embrace, so gradually, Karen Joy Kyle was not so scared anymore. She buried herself in Brother Lionel's arms. As she listened to his steady heartbeat, her heartbeat became calmer too. "Karen, you see, there are lights everywhere, if you open your eyes, you will see." Knowing that she was afraid of the darkness, he guided her gently and patiently out of the darkness. "Brother Lionel, I am not afraid anymore." Just like many years ago, she said that she was not afraid anymore, but her hands were still holding onto the corner of his clothes tightly. She was so afraid that she did not dare to let go. She was obviously afraid, but because she did not want the people who cared about her to worry about her, she would try her best to pretend that sh
He only gently pecked her lips, and Nathaniel Cooper quickly pulled back. Karen Joy Kyle was not satisfied. She pouted and said, "Brother Lionel, you didn't kiss me like this yesterday." Nathaniel was at a loss for words. Karen Joy pleaded with her innocent voice, "You have to kiss me like how you did yesterday. Then, maybe I won't be so scared." Nathaniel fondled her head and said softly, "You silly child, do you know what it meant when I kissed you like that yesterday?" "Of course I know." Karen Joy nodded, "Because you like me, that's why you kissed me like that. I should let you know that I like you too." Yesterday, she forgot to confess her love to him personally, but it was not too late to tell him today. She must let Brother Lionel know that she also liked him. She told him that she liked him, and she had a different kind of feeling towards him. She no longer liked him like a child, but she really liked him and adored him now. Nathaniel
"Brother Lionel..." A semi-conscious Karen Joy Kyle muttered anxiously, "You promised you won't leave me behind, you can't lie to me." "Alright Karen, I'm a man of my word. I won't leave you behind." He patted her hand gently and coaxed her to sleep. "Alright, then I'm going to sleep now." Hearing his gentle voice, Karen Joy closed her eyes and fell asleep again. He put her down and then put his seat down. He lay beside her as she leaned onto him. She took the opportunity to rest in his chest and sighed comfortably, "It's so good to have you around!" Nathaniel Cooper didn't know if she was fully awake or just mumbling to herself in her sleep. He was willing to spoil her with love and care, regardless. Karen Joy gradually fell asleep. Nathaniel gently poked the plum blossom mark between her eyebrows. This mark was left behind many years ago when she was only four years old and was taken away by the bad guys. Since she was a beautiful
Karen Joy Kyle guessed that her Brother Lionel was likely to be Nathaniel Cooper, the President of Country A. She opened her eyes secretly and saw Brother Lionel's appearance clearly through the dim light in the car. Although he had applied some makeup to avoid being recognized, but he still looked the same. In Karen Joy's view, nothing much about him changed. He was the Brother Lionel who she missed very much, and also the Brother Lionel that took good care of her. She finally understood why he couldn't reconcile with her so publicly. As a President of a country, there probably was too many things that he couldn't control. Her Brother Lionel was responsible for the growth and stability of the whole country, and he carried the heavy burden of trying to get 200 million people to live a good life in his country. Moreover, he had just taken office, so there must be many tasks and jobs for him, and he had to go through even more trouble than the others.
She really wanted to share this happy news with someone. Of course, it couldn't be Samantha Lesley. If she couldn't share it with Samantha, then she only had her mother left. "Mommy, what are you doing?" Karen Joy Kyle picked up the phone and called her mother quickly. "Baby, what time is it there? Don't stay up late every night, you need to take care of your skin. Are you not afraid that Brother Lionel would dislike you if you didn't look after yourself?" Karen Daly spoke like a caring mother. "Mommy, my skin is just like yours. It'll always be pink and tender. It won't get old and wrinkly." She did not mean to flatter her mother! Her mother was now getting older, yet her skin still looked as tender as that of a 20-year-old. When they went out together, others would say that they were sisters. "Did you solve the problem between you and Brother Lionel?" Karen chuckled and asked gently. Karen Joy rolled on the bed happily, "Mommy, you are so sma
"Are you still in Coast City or not?" He did not quarrel with her, and Karen Joy Kyle did not want to quarrel with him too. They never got along anyway, so she did not want to care too much about him. "What do you think?" Jaydan replied after a long time. "Jayden, can you answer me properly?" Why was he like this? How would she know if he was here? "Tell me, what's the matter?" She probably did not know that wherever she was, he would definitely be there too. It had been like that for more than ten years now, and it never changed. Karen Joy was so anxious that she bit her lip and said, "Not long ago, there was a huge earthquake in Long Cove. Have you heard about it?" "Yes, I've heard about it." He still spoke in a relaxed tone. It seemed that he didn't care about such huge news at all. Karen Joy didn't want to argue with him. She did not have the energy to. She added, "You have to think of a way to help me transport a batch of supplies to
...... 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
