On the other side, when Candy knew that Kevin had confessed, plus she had not received Tianna's response for a long time, it really hit her limit. She murmured anxiously to herself, "I can't possibly be blamed for this. This is such a big secret, and it involves our whole family. I musn't hide it from everyone!" With her personality, keeping this secret for so long was like holding a burning potato to her. If she still didn't tell anyone about this, she would really be driven crazy! "Mom, I have something to tell you," Candy said. "What's the matter?" Sigrid knew her own daughter the best. She saw Candy murmuring to herself for a few days already and asked, "I've been watching you talk to yourself lately. What mischief are you up to again?" Candy quickly clarified, "I didn't do anything bad! Let's make it clear first. This matter has nothing to do with me. I'm just the messenger." "Alright, don't beat around the bush. Hurry up and tell me what's up."
Who knew whether Kevin would still come over and force her to sleep with him again? By then, wearing such sexy pajamas would be way too embarrassing. "This feels quite comfortable, but it's not very suitable for me. I'd better look at other styles." Tianna smiled and placed it aside. She was getting ready to browse other designs. When Kevin heard the salesgirl mention that this was the store's bestseller, he also felt the nightgown himself. The fabric was indeed comfortable. Although Tianna was very reluctant, he still insisted and bought it. "Just this one, wrap it up for me," he said domineeringly. "What are you doing? I already said I don't want it..." Tianna retorted. "I think it's great. Why not?" Kevin asked. "It's good, but I don't like it." "I like it." Tianna was left speechless. If he liked the nightgown so much, he can wear it himself. Why should he force her to wear it? Tianna couldn't be bothered to argue with h
Due to their height difference. Kevin was currently staring down at Tianna, which made her look even more innocent, especially with her big bright eyes. Her gaze was often soft and affectionate, not to mention that she was staring at him like this at this moment. Kevin felt as if he had been bewitched. His brain was whirring, and suddenly, all his behavior and actions felt like it was out of control. "Tianna..." He muttered her name softly, and unconsciously tightened his grip on her arm. "You... you're squeezing..." Before Tianna could even finish her complaint, Kevin finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He held her face and bowed down to kiss her. Tianna's eyes widened, grabbing powerlessly onto Kevin's hands that were holding on to her face. It looked like she was leaning against him to stable herself, and also seemed like she was trying to pry his hands away from her. Tianna struggled at first, but her little strength got weaker gradually.
"Kevin, what are you waiting for?" Tianna became a little anxious, shouting as she patted the cable car's window. She was the only one in the empty cable car. Glancing down through the transparent glass, all she could see was the endless snow. Suddenly, she felt uneasy and flustered. At a distance away from each other, Tianna couldn't hear what Kevin was talking about with the others outside. She wanted to get out of the cable car, but no one was there to assist her bridge over the gap. She was starting to get a little frightened. "What is he doing?" Tianna was in a dilemma. She didn't know what was going on outside the cable car. She wanted to get out, but she didn't dare to on her own. She could only look at Kevin talking to the staff and tourists through the window. After that, the staff and tourists all looked at her with strange smiles on their faces. Kevin said something to them again and got onto the cable car. "What were you up to just now?"
Tianna didn't dare to think about it at all. Although she had decided to overcome any situation with Kevin the moment she agreed to date him, but she still felt incredibly nervous when it came to this. Kevin understood perfectly the words Tianna did not get to finish. "I know what you are worried about. Don't be afraid. Just leave it all to me. Don't worry. No matter what happens, I will stand in front of you." Although Kevin's reassurance comforted her a little, she was still panicking. "Kevin, after we return home, we should try our best to keep a distance from each other, okay?" Tianna said. She knew that Kevin would be unhappy about this, but she didn't want to create a fiasco in the family too much. "Let them slowly get used to our relationship first..." "No." Sure enough, Kevin answered without thinking. Tianna knew that it would end up like this. She was too lazy to argue with him, nor was she in the mood to do so. She secretly decided
"However, I don't think he has the guts to. He was a nuisance since young, but only when it comes to you, he was willing to listen to whatever you say..." Sigrid was still chattering non-stop, bringing up their childhood anecdotes about stories of them growing up. Tianna was stunned after listening to the whole thing, completely shocked and sobered up after the words "get married" popped out. "Get married?" Tianna was so scared that her voice trembled. She looked at Sigrid in panic and explained, "Mom, I haven't planned to marry Kevin yet..." Oh, God! Tianna had only been with him for a few days, and she was only in her early twenties and was still studying. Kevin was also younger than her too. How come they were talking about getting married so soon! Tianna was half frightened and half shy. Although Sigrid did not object, which made her a little surprised, she had really never thought about getting married. "What?" Sigrid cried, standing up exaggeratedly,
"Ah! Tianna, I love you so much!" Candy was such a bum, and she only loved bags and purses, being very loyal to her hobby at that. Thus, Tianna and Eleven never had to worry about buying her gifts since young. "Alright, do you have to exaggerate so much?" The gift that Tianna prepared for Eleven was a new set of protective gear. Although the price couldn't be compared to the bag's, this was more thoughtful. "Eleven, I know that you like this brand's protective gear. I bought you a set of this when I saw it in the shopping mall." "Thank you," Eleven grinned. After Candy finished appreciating her new bag, she finally remembered to tease her. Candy cleared her throat once, put her hands in front of her mouth, and pretended to clear her throat again. Then, she looked at Tianna ambiguously and asked with a sneaky look, "You told me before that Kevin confessed to you. What's the situation like now? Are you guys finally together?" When Kevin's name was me
Wait a minute. The best time to fall in love was while one was still studying? Tianna was stunned. If the teachers in school heard this, they would have classified George as one of the most bizarre parents they have ever dealt with! However, at least George was more reserved than Sigrid. Tianna was thinking exactly about this when she heard Kevin continue, "He actually means that he will hand over the company's business to me after I graduate to allow him to have the time to accompany his wife. Of course, I'm not willing to do so. I asked him to work for a few more years. Guess what he said?" "I have no idea." Tianna shook her head. She really didn't expect that the two of them would talk about this. "He asked me to have a child as soon as possible too so that I can leave the company to him too..." Kevin also had to think carefully about it. Of course, he didn't want to have children so early. First, it was because of their age. Even if he was going to get
"Okay." Grace agreed and said, "I have something else to discuss with you." When he finally heard this sentence, Zaden knew that there must've been something going on. "What's the matter?" As they talked, they went into the lounge. Zaden also specifically told the secretaries that no one was allowed to come in and disturb him before work in the afternoon. These words made the secretaries' eyes turn red. Since he had ordered them to keep everyone out of his office while he was inside with a woman, it was hard to control their imaginations from running wild. "How's your investigation on my surrogacy?" Grace asked. Zaden had thought that Grace's patience was wearing thin, and so she had sought him out for an update on his progress. Feeling a little ashamed, he said, "I'm sorry. There hasn't been any progress so far. You know that information on surrogacy is highly secured. It won't be so easy for my subordinates to investigate it." "It's okay. You
"Stop!" Grace made a gesture and said, "I'm going to the Empire Group. Do you want to go with me?" "Oh?" Gentry was flustered for a moment and then realized that he had almost gotten himself in trouble. He quickly said goodbye. "Sorry, sorry for bothering you. It's my fault!" Grace shook her head helplessly. She went to the kitchen to bring the toiletries she had prepared for Zaden, and set off for the Empire Group. Grace took a cab, as she didn't have the nerve to ask her chauffeurs to give her a ride. This was the first time Grace had taken the initiative to go there. She didn't know whether she was going to meet Zaden or not, but the staff at the front desk had changed since the last time she had went to deliver food and she didn't know when it had happened. Hence, the new staff didn't know her at all. However, when she saw that Grace was dressed up very beautifully and elegantly, she guessed that Grace must be someone important. Naturally, she didn't d
This time, Grace took the initiative. She stood on tiptoe, hooked her arms around Zaden's neck, and took the initiative to plant her pink lips on his. The chaste kisses turned into lingering kisses. Zaden had always restrained himself very much. Every time he met Grace, he always felt that he was on the verge of losing control. "Well, I can't believe that you are so obedient today. Go to sleep. If you kiss me again, I might not remain chaste. You won't have a chance to sleep even if you want to," said Zaden. After going to bed, Grace took the initiative to cradle into Zaden's arms. Just like Dulcie acting like a spoiled child, Grace had also put all of her heart and soul into Zaden, like a spoiled child. The next day, there was still no sign of Zaden at breakfast in the Andrew household. "Oh? Dad's gone again..." Dulcie said regretfully. Douglas found that his sister was upset, thus he comforted her, "It doesn't matter, Dulcie. Daddy need
The silent confrontation was still going on, and Zaden was waiting. When would Moira give in? Moira was also waiting. When would Zaden be gracious enough to let her go? However, perhaps these two people didn't know each other very well. They both had naive expectations that were absolutely wrong and impossible to achieve from the beginning. "It's so cold..." Moira murmured in a low voice. As she spoke, a puff of white vapor immediately appeared in front of her lips. Even though kneeling down like this was not a big deal, Moira had always been pampered and had grown up a spoiled child. She had never suffered this kind of hardship before. Her body could not bear it either. She only felt that her legs were on the verge of losing its strength and becoming numb. The rain grew heavier and heavier, and the wind and rain swayed. Flowers in the garden were beaten into a mess by the rain, as so was Moira. Moira's body had reached its limit, and she could not catch h
"Plop—" Moira's kneecaps hit the ground, the sound of it ringing crisp. Grace was dumbfounded. She looked at Moira, who was kneeling in front of her, and could not say anything for a while. As for Zaden, there was not even the slightest expression on his face. "What, what are you doing?" Grace asked. She instinctively stood up from her chair as she took in the scene before her, at a complete loss of what to do. Moira glanced at her. Sometimes, when one's ego was at one's feet, one becomes more able to take humiliation than usual. She replied with indifference, "Why are you so agitated? I'm not kneeling at you. Don't think too much of yourself." Moira looked at Zaden and said, "Zaden, I beg you, please have mercy on the Coulson family. No matter what you demand, as long as I can do it, you can demand it!" Zaden frowned and said, "Kneel further if you want to. You're an eyesore right now." Mercy? For someone like Zaden, mercy had always bee
"No, Mother, if Zaden takes over the Coulson Group, then we..." Moira could not continue speaking. She did not even want to imagine what would happen. "You understand now? I thought a donkey kicked you in the brain!" "That... That won't do. I'll go beg him right now!" Moira shouted. Now that things had come to this, it was obvious that Zaden's target was Moira. Although she was extremely unwilling, she would have to make a stand against him now. No matter what she would have to experience, she had to protect the company. She could not lose everything. She rushed to the Andrew family villa, but Moira was not even allowed through the main entrance. "Let me in!" Moira began making a scene outside. She made such a ruckus that it was difficult for the people inside to ignore her. "Mr. Andrew, Miss Coulson is causing a scene outside, this..." the butler informed Zaden "Let her be," Zaden said expressionlessly. This was not the first
Grace frowned before cutting Moira off. "Moira, there's no use in talking to me like that. I just want to know who it is. Tell me the truth!" "Do you think I'll tell you just because you want to know?" Moira scoffed before retorting, "Who do you think you are?" "Does this mean that you admit you used Mr. Yale's name to deceive me?" Grace quickly latched onto the loophole in Moira's words. "Hah, I didn't say that. You're just making things up." Moira was still as stubborn as a mule. She once again diverted the topic so that she could insult and ridicule Grace. All sorts of vulgarities came through the call, and each minute that passed only pushed a person's limits even further. Grace felt nothing at Moira's words. However, Zaden, who was next to her, did not want to hear any more of it. He was on his last straw, so he grabbed the phone to end the call. "Are you stupid? Just letting her scold you like that?" Zaden asked, his tone sour. "As long a
"Mr. Yale and his wife are quite old, so having children has been difficult for them. In the beginning, they contacted many surrogacy agencies. However, Mr. Yale was extremely cautious when it came to picking a surrogate mother. This caused a lot of trouble to the agencies since the surrogate mothers they suggested never met his standards." "Later, Mr. Yale thought about going abroad to find a surrogate mother. However, right at the critical moment, he suddenly found out that Mrs. Yale was already pregnant!" "The pleasant surprise caused them to give up their search for a surrogate mother. After all, Mrs. Yale wasn't getting any younger and they both went through a lot to get this son, so that's why the Yale family treats him so preciously." As Zaden listened to the report from his subordinate on the other end of the call, his mood grew complicated. The only way he could clear his mind was to focus on the fact that the night wind had blown his body cold. To be h
Mr. Yale's word of thanks was like a knife stabbing into Grace's heart. How could she be worthy of his gratitude? She could not take it anymore and felt like returning to the car to escape the situation. Mr. Yale withdrew his hand in embarrassment. Even he, who was usually slick and smooth, could not find the right words to say at this time. Zaden tried to smooth things over by saying, "I'm sorry, she was one of the victims too, so..." "I understand," Mr. Yale said with a nod. "We understand and more than anything else, we thank you, Mr. Andrew. You've worked hard today. We won't take up any more of your time. You should go back early and rest. We will definitely drop by next time to properly thank you." Zaden nodded and turned to get in the car. Dulcie was all worn out from crying too long, so she was curled up in her seat and fast asleep. Zaden asked softly, "What on earth happened before I arrived?" Grace suddenly turned teary-eyed. The tear
