Her brother Lionel was clearly the President of the country. However, how could he act so adorably? She was already giving so many signals. Couldn't he guess that she had already known that he was her Brother Lionel? If it wasn't for him, why would she go to the disaster area? If it weren't for the fact that she knew he was her Brother Lionel, she would not have kissed him. Her brother Lionel was so silly! However, even if he was her silly Brother Lionel, she still liked him very much. She liked him even more when he's gotten jealous of himself. Men could act so foolishly in front of women they liked. Her father was like that too. Once, when her mother was watching TV, and she said that the main actor on TV was very handsome. After her father hung up the phone, the first sentence he asked her mother was, "Handsome? Really? How is he better than your husband?" Her father was so focused on talking on the phone, but when her moth
"Mr. President, I've finished eating." Desperate to see him as Brother Lionel, Karen Joy Kyle tried her best and ate all the food on the table as fast as she could. "Well, okay." His voice came from outside the door. "Your leg is still injured. You can't get out of bed and walk for the time being. You can just sit on the bed and rest for a while." "Okay, whatever you say, I'll listen to you." Karen Joy nodded obediently like a child. "Mr. President, come in and chat with me for a while. It's boring to sit here alone." As long as she could trick him into her room, she could think of a way to spend more time with him. However, Karen Joy waited for a long time, but Mr. President didn't approach her. She didn't see him today and didn't see him on the next day too. On the third day, she saw Brother Lionel in the news. Wearing a formal black suit, he was greeting a foreign envoy. He looked smart and dignified. He was not alone, as there was a woman standin
Karen Joy Kyle was saying these words to Samantha Lesley, but actually, she was saying it to herself too. No matter where she went, home was her warmest harbor, and her parents were the ones who she would think of whenever things get rough. She knew that her parents loved her unconditionally. However, on the day of her 18th birthday, she felt that she had grown up. She didn't even tell them and left the country to find her Brother Lionel, which made her father angry. He was so angry that he didn't want to talk to her until now. But what about her? After crossing over to another country, she found her Brother Lionel, but he didn't want her to see him in the open. Brother Lionel told her to wait for him as he deal with his matters first. She knew that as the President of the country, Brother Lionel had too many responsibilities on his shoulders. She could understand him and wait for him. But what she could not accept was that he had a fianc
"Serene, don't forget that there are people keeping an eye on our words and actions. As the President's fiancee, how could I not personally bring you back?" Nathaniel Cooper said in a deep voice. Since he had spent an entire day being away from Karen Joy Kyle already, how many extra minutes have to wait? He needed to act properly, if not, his efforts so far would go to waste. "Alright then." Serene Silas didn't say anything else. She couldn't hide her worry and concern in her eyes when she looked at Nathaniel. On the way back to Serene's place, their car drove in the middle of a convoy. They had a security car in front of them, and another security car behind them. It attracted a lot of attention. "Look, it's Mr. President, and he's sending Miss Silas back to the Silas home again." There were people who noticed them as they drove by. "Yeah, yeah, Mr. President is a really considerate man. He will always personally send Miss Silas home." One of the citizens
Perhaps he saw through Karen Joy Kyle's nervousness, the driver thought for a while and said, "Miss Kyle, Mr. Lionel invited you to his house." As soon as she heard the name of "Mr. Lionel", Karen Joy suddenly felt relieved. Only Brother Lionel would address himself as Lionel now. 'Lionel' wasn't his real name. She was the only one who called him "Brother Lionel". He thought of addressing himself as 'Lionel' now for Karen Joy's visit. But how did Brother Lionel know that she had bought a ticket to return to New York? Did Samantha Lesley tell Brother Lionel about this? Or was Samantha arranged by Brother Lionel to be by her side? On second thought, it was possible that Brother Lionel arranged Samantha to be around her. Samantha was her classmate, and Samantha's brother, Jason Lesley, was Brother Lionel's, right-hand man. It wouldn't be believable to say that their relationship was just a coincidence. If Samantha was really someone that Bro
"Brother Lionel..." Karen Joy Kyle nestled in his embrace happily. No matter how much resentment, anger, or uncertainty she had, it all disappeared when she saw him and threw herself into his arms. At this moment, she only wanted to hug him. She only wanted to turn into a spoiled child in his embrace. She did not want to think about his fiancee. He was her Brother Lionel, and she only wanted to be his 'Karen'. His only 'Karen' for the rest of his life. "Brother Lionel, do you know how much I missed you when you weren't by my side?" She raised her head slightly from his arms and looked at him quietly. "I know." He responded and couldn't help patting her head. "If you knew, why didn't you come to see me more often?" Karen Joy blinked at him wittily, her eyes looked innocent and bright. "Because I was busy..." He tilted his head and didn't dare to look into her innocent eyes. If he did, he would feel like he had committed an unforgivable sin.
For the rest of his life, he would keep her with him and never let her go. However, there would be a lot of obstacles in the future. No one knew what was going to happen. They only told themselves that no matter what happened, they should not give up easily. ... In Karen Joy Kyle's memory, she couldn't remember that she had a meal with Brother Lionel. When Brother Lionel sat beside her and ate with her, she did not bother about eating much. All she did was to look at him quietly. She wanted to remember his actions and his appearance firmly in her mind. If she were separated from him again in the future, and no matter how long she would be separated from him, she could never forget him again. "Do you not like this food?" Perhaps her eyes were fixed on him for too long, it made him feel uncomfortable. Nathaniel Cooper raised his head slowly and asked her. "They're good." Karen Joy shook her head, and her smile looked so pretty, like a blooming fl
"Do you want Jayden to help us take the girl away?" Dominic Cooper was confused with his suggestion. "It's been so long, but we haven't seen Jayden taking her back anyway." "If that girl was easy to deal with, then the Young Master of the Kyle family wouldn't be here. Everyone knows that she is the gem of her family, and everyone knows how much Kevin loves and spoils her. Who could force her to do something she doesn't want to do?" Zuriel Perth spoke about Kevin Kyle as he knew him very well. Back then, he had secretly sneaked into Chatterton Town with Nathaniel Cooper. Both of them used fake identities. However, Kevin still knew everything about them. He didn't even know how Kevin knew about it. Kevin could see through their intentions and antics well. Zuriel knew that this leader of Rovio Corporation Inc must be powerful. Now that many years had passed, he still remembered Kevin very well. Especially in the past few years, as Rovio grew bigger and bigger, Kevi
...... 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
