Nathaniel Cooper's immediate return made Griffin Cooper understand one thing. He understood that no one could ever compare to the position of the girl from the Kyle Family in Nathaniel's heart, but Griffin was not willing to admit it. He did not believe that if a man was being put into the position to make a choice between his woman and his status, he would be stupid enough to choose his woman. Moreover, his son had committed many dishonorable things in order to be the president. He was sure that Nathaniel would never give up the throne as the President of Country A, which he had obtained after going through so many obstacles. However, because Nathaniel had attached great importance to that girl, Griffin thought that she might be a pawn whom he could take advantage of. Griffin was also very clear that there would be too many variables, and she was definitely not an easy pawn to control. Griffin's brain was working hard trying to think about his
However, after being in Griffin Cooper's office for about half an hour, the snow outside the courtyard had piled up high. He looked up at the sky. The snowfall was getting heavier and heavier tonight. It seemed that it would go on for the entire night. Seeing Nathaniel coming out, his driver, Jamie, and the bodyguard, Horatio, hurriedly greeted him. They realized that Nathaniel seemed distressed, so the two of them were smart enough to not utter a word, while they waited for his orders. Nathaniel stepped on the snow and his feet sank into it, but his pace was not affected at all. His steps were still as nimble as usual. Jamie hurriedly caught up and said, "Sir, the way out has been blocked by the heavy snow, and the car will not be able to drive through it. It's better to wait here for the night and we can go back after the road is cleared out tomorrow morning." The road was blocked by heavy snow, and their vehicle would not be able to navigate such terrai
Karen Joy Kyle blushed and shook her head foolishly. "No?" Nathaniel Cooper narrowed his eyes and hid the smile in his eyes. He lowered his head and kissed her again. "Do I kiss you like this in your dreams?" Karen Joy's mind went blissfully blank, but she still shook her head like a silly child. "Not like this?" The smile on Nathaniel's face was so obvious that he couldn't hide it. He asked her with a smile, "Then how was it?" Karen Joy's face turned red. How could he ask a girl to tell him how he kissed her in her dreams? She felt so embarrassed! She didn't answer, so Nathaniel held her head and gave her another passionate kiss just like he did earlier. He asked again, "So, was that it?" Finally, Karen Joy nodded. Nathaniel couldn't help but laugh out. "So you like me kissing you like this." "What?" Karen Joy's mind was still in a daze, but soon, she regained her composure and realized how embarrassing it was. "Nathaniel, you're bullyin
It had snowed every winter in Coast City, but it had never been so heavy or last as long as it did this year. Today was the third day of the heavy snow, and a blizzard was still going on. The sky seemed to be throwing a tantrum, trying to release all the snow it had prepared for the next few winters! Because of the heavy snow and the fact that the snow was too thick, the government had issued a weather warning. All schools were closed, and offices too. Because of the heavy snow, Yaya couldn't get to work, so she was bored at home. Thinking of Little Jar whom she hadn't met for a long time, she called her and said, "Little Jar, what are you up to? If you're idle at home, let's make a meal together at home, we can invite the others." Hearing that Yaya had asked her out, Karen Joy Kyle looked back at Nathaniel Cooper, who was busy in the study room. All government ministries were on holiday, but not him. He was still reading some documents and dealing with some oth
If possible, Nathaniel Cooper could deal with those matters through a video conference. Matters which had to be dealt with in person, he would ask for his secretaries to postpone it to the next day. He could then attend to these issues when he was back in the office. In order to spend more time with Karen Joy Kyle, Nathaniel was doing his best to allocate his time more efficiently. Nathaniel had insisted on staying at her home to accompany her. Karen Joy felt flustered, thinking of the sacrifice he was making for her. She felt guilty and began to blame herself. She had always wanted to share some of his burdens. However, not only did she not help him, but was holding him back now. How could she not blame herself? "Brother Lionel, you can carry on with your work. You don't have to accompany me. I have a lot of friends in Coast City, and they can always spend time with me. Just now, a friend called and asked me if I want to go for dinner with them." As she w
Nathaniel Cooper hurriedly walked towards the door. When he arrived at the door, he suddenly thought of something. He looked back and his gaze met Karen Joy Kyle's worried eyes. He said apologetically, "Karen..." Karen Joy walked to his side and gave him a big hug. She looked up and smiled at him. "Brother Lionel, go ahead, it's fine." Nathaniel rubbed her head. For a moment, he felt very bitter in his throat. He was at a loss for words. This sensible little girl was always so considerate of his priorities. Karen Joy looked back at the clock on the wall and said, "It's eleven o'clock in the morning, there's still much time before dinner time. I'll make dinner in advance and wait for you to come back. We can eat together then!" Karen Joy's words had a profound meaning. She meant for him to go and attend to his work, but to ensure that he would come home safely. She would be waiting for him at home. Nathaniel held her head and kissed her. He nodded hea
She had always hoped that Jayden Elias Kyle would completely disappear from her world and that he would not appear in front of her ever again. However, Karen Joy was still worried when she could not get in touch with him. She was not sure if he had gotten into trouble or an accident. Since she couldn't get in touch with Jayden, she could only go and look for him in person. He lived next door so she rushed over and knocked on his door. Bang! Bang! Bang! She was so anxious. She slammed the door with her hands and forgot that there was a doorbell. Karen Joy panicked a little when no one had answered the door despite her persistent knocking. Did something really happen to Jayden? "Jayden, are you at home or not? If you are at home, open the door for me. Don't hide at home as if you're dead!" Karen Joy was so anxious that she kicked the door with her foot. She used a lot of strength, but the door didn't open and she hurt her toes instead. "Hiss—" Sh
The heavy snow persisted for a long time. The impact of the snowstorm was getting even more serious. It was affecting more provinces. The worst-hit area was the Misty Mountain. At the foot of Misty Mountain, there were dozens of families and hundreds of people buried under the snow. After receiving the news, the relevant departments had immediately arranged for the military air force to rescue the victims. The President had also rushed to the disaster area to check on the deployed rescue forces and the people who were trapped. The central news channel of the country had been documenting the rescue work at the disaster area, so that the whole country would be kept updated on the situation of the rescue work at the disaster area. While the snowstorm was battering the country, and the rescue forces were working hard at the disaster area alongside the President, there was a group of people still going about their lives comfortably. On such a snowy winter
...... 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
