The night was gradually getting darker! Karen Joy Kyle lay on the small bed. Without Brother Lionel's warm embrace, she felt that there was something missing. She couldn't fall asleep. This was only the first night since Brother Lionel was abroad. It was as if she hadn't seen him for thousands of years. She was going crazy already, how could she survive for the next six days? Thinking of the fact that she wouldn't be able to see Brother Lionel in the next six or seven days, Karen Joy wished she could grow a pair of wings and fly to Brother Lionel's side. But she couldn't be so capricious. She promised to teach the children for a month, moreover, Brother Lionel's visit was an official affair, she couldn't just stick around him. Sigh! Karen Joy let out a long sigh. She wouldn't be so bored if Little Precious was by her side at this time to play with her. Thinking of Little Precious, Karen Joy remembered that she hadn't contacted her family for a
More than a decade had passed, their child had already grown up, but Kevin Kyle still looked at Karen Daly the same way he used to. No, it wasn't only the same as he used to, it was with more affection than before, as if he only had her in his eyes. He walked gracefully to Karen's side. Karen pursed her lips into a gentle smile and said "You're back!" Kevin nodded. "Yes." After more than ten years, Director Kevin was still a man of few words, but he did change a little. He not only responded, but also walked to Karen's side and pulled her into his arms to embrace her. "You must be hungry," Karen said with a smile. "Mm." He nodded without saying anything. "Then go get changed. After that, we can start eating." Karen escaped from his arms and said. Kevin said seriously, "Help me with that." "You need me to help you change your clothes? I don't even need to help my eight-year-old son to change his clothes. Director Kevin, aren't
"I like it!" Whether he was referring to the gift he gave her, or his kiss, she liked them all. However, Karen Daly deliberately chose the former, "Didn't I just tell you that as long as it is a gift from you, I will like it." Kevin Kyle's face darkened slightly and said with dissatisfaction, "You already know that I'm not asking about that." Karen blinked and acted like she didn't understand. "If that's not what you're asking, then what is it?" Kevin, "..." He was referring to something else! Karen smiled and snuggled into his arms. She held his strong waist and snuggled. "Kevin, do you know how happy I am?" He definitely didn't know how happy she was, and the man who gave her all this happiness was the one who had been by her side throughout the years. Kevin rubbed her head and said softly, "Silly, why are you saying this all of a sudden?" "For so many years, you have always supported me, this allowed me to spend more time a
"Huh... Neil, I just reached home, and you already kicked my son out. Why can't you just admit it?" Mia Kyle was so angry that she raised her foot and was about to kick Neil Brown. However, before she could kick him, he reached out and held her in his arms. He stroked her hair lovingly, "You two just came back, have a good rest. Don't make a fuss." "Make a fuss? If you didn't kick us away from home, did we have to suffer for nearly 20 hours?" The more Mia explained, the angrier she became. "I kicked you away from home? Didn't you book a ticket and left on your own? I asked someone to stop you but it didn't work anyway." Neil said innocently. "Neil, if you helped me when my son bullied me at that time, would I be so angry that I left home?" Anyway, Mia would not think that she was wrong. Neil just kept quiet. This woman was becoming more and more unreasonable. But who was to blame? It was all because he had spoiled her so much over the yea
"Silly girl, how could you drag me down?" She didn't even know how much strength she had given him, how would she drag him down? "Brother Lionel, don't worry, just carry on with the national affairs. Don't worry about me. I am doing well in the disaster area. When you come back, I will be back in Coast City soon too. At that time, you don't have to come here to see me every day." Karen Joy clearly hoped that Brother Lionel could come back to her side immediately, but she still said such words to comfort him sensibly. "Mm, okay. You'd better go to bed early and don't catch a cold." He reminded Karen Joy again, and then Nathaniel Cooper hung up the phone. Looking at the dark screen on her phone, Karen Joy stuck her face to the screen, as if she could still hear Brother Lionel's voice. "Brother Lionel..." She shouted for him silently. It was such a terrible feeling to miss someone who was so far away. "Little Jar, were you calling your loverboy again?" Yaya j
On Misty Mountain. Misty Mountain always appeared hazy and misty on most days, hence it lived up to its name. The mountain was shrouded in fog and mist, like a fantasy fairy realm on earth. Therefore, some people would refer to Misty Mountain as a 'fairy mountain'. It rained a lot there too. Serene Silas remembered that it had been nearly a month since she arrived there, and it had been raining for more than half the time she was there. Whenever it rained, it seemed like it would never stop. Serene sat by the window of the room and looked blankly out of the window. Looking at the falling rain, she tried to stretch her hand out to feel it. Today, the weather in the Misty Mountain was very cold. When the window was opened, a cold gust of air rushed straight into the room, which made Serene shiver. But she didn't seem to feel cold. She collected the rain in the palm of her hand, then she released it to the ground. She did this over and over
"Karen Joy Kyle!" Jackie repeated Karen Joy Kyle's name again, knocking on the folder rhythmically with his slender fingertips. "How can Nathaniel be willing to allow his treasure to get involved in Serene's murder case?" Daryl Leves replied respectfully, "There was only one photo on the Internet. After that, no one found any other news about the girl, so we can see that Mr. President was really trying his best to protect the girl." "Did Nathaniel really not send anyone to look for Serene during this period?" After a month, Jackie still did not believe that Nathaniel would turn a blind eye to Serene Silas' disappearance. Daryl replied, "Young Master Mallory has passed your message to Mr. President. He must know that Miss Silas is here, so he didn't bother to do that." Jackie asked again, "Is Nathaniel back from his visit abroad yet?" Daryl responded, "He returns this afternoon." Jackie tilted his head and glanced at the calendar on the table. "It's o
"I'll make you my child's mother!' This sentence exploded in Serene Silas' mind like an atomic bomb. She wanted to give up the fight and stop resisting, but all of a sudden, she struggled with all her remaining strength. "Devil, get off!" However, no matter how Serene struggled, she could not get out of his torturous act. "Jackie..." She closed her eyes in despair and thought of Jackie in her heart. She even ridiculously imagined the man on her body as her Jackie. She felt a little better and she had a little courage to stay alive. This devil seemed to know what she was thinking. He tortured her more aggressively over and over again, and he was merciless. After some time, the man finally let go of her and said coldly, "Serene, this is the price you should pay." She aborted his child, so she should return another child to him. She needed to bear his child. If he could not be happy, then he would drag her to hell with him. None of them woul
...... 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
